I use navidrome to stream music from my desktop. Symphonium is my android client. It costs like 2 bucks but it’s real good. Lots of different UI options.

I haven’t done it myself since Im the only one using it…but I think in order to have somewhere your family can login and download music … That is a separate application from navidrome. Lidarr, Jackett, and somehow connect to qbittorent…I haven’t done it yet but I think that’s probably the route id go

That’s awesome you got back into it for pure enjoyment!

Gear acquisition syndrome is real though. Fortunately for me I was able to recover from it in the context of guitars. Unfortunately for me I picked up photography as a hobby…

I play guitar casually since a little before COVID. Becoming more fluent with it every time I play is an amazing feeling.

Getting into a groove, putting my own spin/expressing myself with songs I like, and jamming with friends are experiences that are unmatched in enjoyment for me.

Making up my own silly songs on the fly is fun too.

Learning to play is the best thing I ever did. I had to get over the idea that it would be hard work to get good, or the idea that I’d never be as good as someone who started as a kid, or that I’d ever even be technically good, at all. Letting go of that stuff allowed me to enjoy each moment playing, and just have fun.

TLDR:

you can use adb

not sure how i can express how much i hate this comment. nice job.

I choose I. Why? I-C-E-D. Free? Yessiree. Cold and totally bold. Aloned and totally stoned.

I is the place to be. I is the place for me. High is the state of me. I choose I.

There are a lot of language learning resources on the site i use. I did a whole Michel Thomas advanced audio course for portuguese that helped me learn the basics. What’s the title of the french book your friend is looking for?

I do it with navidrome. Have been streaming my music from my desktop for the past 3 months. Pretty satisfying. I haven’t done the fancy lyric stuff yet though.

I really don’t think it is. For one thing, there’s texted added to it that certainly wasn’t part of the original. Then there’s the matter of multiple versions of a similar line-drawing with text in the center floating around. And then finally, no mainstream media has released the image. It seems like someone just mocked this up and posted it on twitter.

Although I’d be happy to be proven wrong.

Thats not the real thing though, is it?

I use inaturalist. You essentially take a pic, upload it, add info about its location and stuff, and it goes into a feed where others will see suggest the scientific name.

Yeah. In middle school I was gonna be an NBA player 😂

Damn.

best phone ever. miss that back fingerprint sensor

Idk about curated playlists but I use soulseek to share files with my friends.

I like the same genres, I can recommend you some albums I’ve been liking if you want

I enjoy these types of movies. The most recent one I watched was Terry Gilliams Days of Heaven. I saw it described as a visual poem (This is accurate) about a boy running from his past with his girlfriend and sister, arrives to work as a farmhand on a Texas farm during harvest season.

I enjoy Tarkovskys films, those are generally quite slow but philosophically dense. Stalker, Solaris, and Andrei Rublev. I haven’t seen the rest.

I also enjoy abstract documentaries. Baraka is a dialogue-less epic showcasing the alienness of human culture. Amazing visuals and music. Life changing for me. In this genre, I also love Chris Marker’s Sans Soleil – a directors reflections on memory and time. A more serious, focused documentary following several men responsible for the mass execution of communists in Indonesia in the 60s as they act out their atrocities for what they believe will be a great action movie, called The Act of Killing directed by Joshua Oppenheimer, is also powerful and surreal. These three films had a drastic effect on me personally are the greatest documentaries I’ve seen, though not much happens in them.

More recent slow movies I’ve enjoyed: Past Lives, about childhood love. Scored by Daniel Rossen of the indie band Grizzly Bear, it is a beautiful and different outlook on love. Very touching. Not much happens.

The other is The Brutalist, an epic about a Jewish architect escaping the Holocaust and moving to America, seeking the American dream. Haunting, looming.

Edit: Richard Linklaters films generally have very loose plots. I’ve only seen School of Rock and Boyhood though. Love Boyhood.

Ye love yer rules, do ye?

Who’s posting this Israeli propaganda

Eh, I don’t necessarily disagree with your statement – and sure, I’d probably agree that evolutionary psychology has a problem in that it’s not super testable – then again, what does my word mean since I’m a lay person.

It does fit into our understanding of evolution though, and it fits into how we analyze behaviors of other animals. Its clear that some portion of our psychology is genetic, and therefore evolutionary, and it only follows that there’s is going to be variability in each individual’s initial psychological makeup, even within geographically adjacent groups of individuals. . When you plop nurture on top, that variability becomes even wider. Idk, it seems kinda nonsensical to claim that one person can’t be more genetically predisposed to feeling anxiety than another, right?

You can and should call out racists, but just because there are some racists who use evolutionary psychology to be racists, doesn’t mean it’s all bunk. Just like it doesn’t make Darwinism all bunk when it’s used by social darwinists to oppress others.

Edit: obviously anyone who says “this race is more likely to act like this because of this” is whack. I guess I’m thinking of evolutionary psychology on more of a macro scale, where it could be used to explain (colloquial “explain,” scientific “hypothesize”), for example, why humans experience social anxiety, where feelings of shame or embarrassment come from, how we deal with rejection, or acceptance, etc. in a real scientifically grounded way.
