For a second I thought this was about vertical scrollbars

Well now that music is gonna be stuck in my head

I feel like there’s a story here

All I remember from my brother listening to that album is the short track with the album title. “Come with us, we’ll sail the seas of cheese”

Switched-On Bach was the stuff, I still listen to it

Man, I remember hearing a Kidz Bop version of Follow Me by Uncle Kracker and just thinking “really?”

It’d be nice if this led to just getting rid of the concept of royal families in general

Why should I leave? They’re the ones who suck

The next time my cat glares at me for keeping her inside, I’ll point her to this and argue that birds already have enough problems. She can chase me and the string around the house to get the hunties out of her system

There’s no point in the grand scheme of things, so I get to decide what’s important for me in the here and now

Oh dang it’s haunted

Support people who are trying, even if they’re not there yet. Only give criticism if it’s specifically being asked for. Admittedly I mostly apply this to individuals, if it’s some big group or company I’m less hesitant to be more harsh and critical though I still try to remain constructive and tactful

It’s kind of weird seeing him with an expression other than the one he has in literally every other photo of him

I wish I was Polish just so I could stand near that

I don’t know if this counts, but I’ve reflected more on my past recently and realized that sometimes I was kind of a turd. Never egregiously so (I hope) but I was often regarded as the quiet nice kid and I think that led to me believing that and probably overlooking some of my less favorable moments or behaviors that people didn’t see as often. I don’t hate myself now or think I’m the villain or anything like that, it’s just been an interesting slow process of reflection as I’ve gotten older. It’s good to be honest with ourselves and realize everyone has their bad moments. We’re not only who we are on our worst day, but also our best, and all those in between

I can hear it in my head

Yeah, I almost said 7 because I thought it was a dog playing bagpipes and I’ve been enjoying playing music today, but then I looked closer

I don’t know, but my view of technology being awesome and wonderful and the way to a better future has died, and that makes me sad

I’ll try to answer the question. How about this worry so many people have that technology facilitating any level of privacy is only going to be used for evil purposes. Even non technology cases. “Why aren’t you putting your real name and hometown?” Because it’s not relevant to this situation and nobody’s business! “Why are you refusing to be in this cute video we’re making for the company social media presence?” Because I don’t want my picture out there for everyone to see, and to be able to extrapolate where I live and who I work for

I think I got our company social media person to actually think I might have been serious when I eventually started saying I was under some kind of witness protection just to get out of it without having the same battle every time

I’m still awaiting the moment someone finally has a reason to legally insist on looking into my background or whatever after the whole “what shady activity or history are you hiding, always wanting your privacy and refusing to volunteer information about yourself” only to find I’m completely clean. No criminal record, no suspicious affiliations (unless Lemmy counts, hah), nothing incriminating. I’ve lived an extremely boring life. I just value my privacy

Good grief. This is such a goofy time to be alive

I think the key is to just not hate on someone else for having a preference for one you don’t care for. (And not being an overzealous missionary for your own preference.) It’s fun seeing the variety and people geeking out about the little intricacies they love about their favorites
