When I’m looking at my phone, I want the original text so I can read skim it myself.

When I’m not looking at my phone, I want the video so I can continue not looking at my phone.

Hermes: Orpheus. Don’t come on too strong.

Seconds later…

Orpheus: Come home with me.
Eurydice: Who are you?
Orpheus: The man who’s gonna marry you.

I wish we had a better name.

When marketing to the “I only read the headline before commenting and sharing” crowd, anti-abortion is a loser compared to pro-life.

Pro-bodily-autonomy doesn’t quite roll off the tongue.

Small, local communist Ws would enable more state and national communist Ws.

“Well, that co-op just outside of downtown is doing fine. Molly’s daughter worked there when she was in high school and said it was the best job she ever had. I guess communists can do some things right.”

is an improvement over

“I’ve never met a communist, but I know they’re all stupid and evil. I’m going to vote against anything with the word socialist or communist next to it because [media personality] told me so.”

I agree. “Exclamation point” sucks all the fun out of it.

Duckduckgo calls it “bang” for their special searchbar commands (like !gi makes it route the search through Google images), and I think more people should use that term instead.

I think you’ve got to start with the bang to make it a community link.

I’m so glad my Lemmy app has video preview thumbnails.

I want to be sympathetic, but… even if she voted for him because he promised to only deport the serious criminals… what about the everything else he promised? What about his track record on just about any promise he’s ever made?

Thank you! I now understand the joke.

I was with you until the last step. How did it all get sorted, instead of having two “peaks”?

Is there a Lemmy function to block keywords?

I have never seen a conversation that was made better by this guy being a part of it. Even takedown videos make me feel like the other guy should have better things to do.

Edit: I know it probably wouldn’t have saved me from this post, but figured I’d ask while it was on my mind.

Agreed. A pox on every bank that charges a monthly service fee a low balance fee a poverty tax.

It’s like first vs second degree murder. It soundsless intense to the jury, but if you’re the victim… you’re still dead.

I knew someone would make this joke the first time I saw it on my feed.

What does it actually mean?

Edit: Nevermind, @jerkface already answered.

Well, I downvoted them twice and upvoted them three times.

Brother went through ego death before writing this:

When the listener submits himself to the beat, he loosens his mind from its moorings in space and time; no longer does he feel a separation between himself and his surroundings. The difficult world of external objects is blurred and unreal; only the inner pulse is real, the beat its outer projection. Earthly worries are submerged in a tide of rising exaltation. Dream and dreamer merge, object and feeling jell: the whole universe is compressed into the medium of the beat, where all things unite and pound forward, rhythmic, regular, not to be denied.

Rock ’n’ roll is the only form in modern music which deliberately seeks these effects and no others. They are also obtainable through jazz, but the soul of jazz is its continual improvisation, which draws on a wide range of moods and which demands the keenest attention. In contrast, rock ’n’ roll dulls the capacity for attention; the steady beat creates instead a kind of hypnotic monotony. Seen in this light, RnR is only the latest in a series of rituals which have existed in many societies for the purpose of inducing mystic ecstasy, usually in connection with religion. One might think not only of African or American Indian drumbeating frenzies but also of the cults of frenzied dancing and shaking which periodically rose up from the main body of European Christianity. In the United States, Negro “gospel music” often creates ecstasy through repeated phrases of enormous energy, and has been more than casually influential in the formation of rock ’n’ roll. Through gospel music, RnR draws directly on both Christian and African cults of rhythmic ecstasy. It should not surprise us then that so many RnR songs celebrate the all-pervasiveness of God.

Is this bait? Or a… humblebrag? I don’t know, but this post comes off to me as slightly unserious.

You’ve seriously never had this experience before? You’ve never heard of this behavior before?

You mentioned gender and posted a picture of your 'fit, which tells me that at least you think it had something to do with gender and/or your appearance.

Maybe you’re being totally serious and curious, in which case… I’ve gotten cynical after my years on the internet.
