I like that though

I like Mildred. Such a shame that names go 'out of date'.

[–] Voran@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I think names would actually be more meaningful if people picked their own.

I remember as a kid in my area this game was called Toilets.

If you got caught you were a toilet and had to stand with your arm out until someone pushed on it and said 'flush.'

I miss the toilet game haha

I liked it at 11. Used to annoy teachers doodling eagles and owls on absolutely everything.

What species is this mohawked cutie pie?

[–] Voran@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Birds are awesome. Loved them even as a kid when it was hopelessly uncool.

I don't look for things to be either angry or grateful about I just get on with life. I respect that gratitude works for you. Personally I find forcing gratitude just drains me. I find I do best just accepting that sometimes I'm angry or stressed and that those are signs telling me something.

I don't own a gun. I'm from a country where it's not an option. To assume makes an ASS out of u and me.

Your point is bullshit. Not all people are good. Rapists exist. Serial killers exist. I'd like some options if I ever ran into one.

Guns would at least cause some difficulty oppressing people.

I'm a nihilist. I wasn't thinking of God.

IDK. I respect that gratitude works for others. I personally am not a fan because I feel we have the normal range of emotions for a good reason.

For example: Anger motivates us to leave an exploitative job or an abusive relationship. Gratitude might very well keep someone in that relationship or in a job where they end up herniating a disk...because instead of being angry enough to leave they tell themselves 'I'm so lucky! Other people have it worse!'

^probably this.

 

...how on one hand there's a male loneliness epidemic and women are partly to blame because we're so picky - and yet on the other hand things like this.

How can we both be desperately needed for your emotional health but also be huge annoying burdens? I don't get it.

 

This song made me legitimately berserk. I haven't had that much of an adrenaline rush from a song since I was 13 and just discovered metal.

 

Is it possible we could get some feature where people can livestream? I really miss Reddit Sessions but they were very clear it’s not being reinstated.

If it’s not possible or too expensive I apologize - I just thought I’d ask.

 

I just went to go to bed and there was a god damn big ass cellar spider waiting for me above my pillow. Too rattled to sleep now.

Thanks eight legged motherfucker. Thank you from the bottom of my adrenal glands.

 

I'd feel a bit silly just posting umpteen songs of my own so I've held off, feel free to post yours!

 

I absolutely love this, honestly like it more than the original. It's impressive how she can get such luxurious sound out of a purely treble instrument.

Lyrics:

I ventured deep in the ocean, down to the dark plains

I felt the weight of the water upon my back

I swam to a fearsome place where no light penetrates

I gave in to the yawning abyssal black

I heard her fingers pluck the strings of a bone lyre

I lost all thought, caught in the whirling of the ocean gyre

The siren has drugged me, she's taken my will away

She's taken the red that was once my rage and pain

I felt her voice in my sinew, the nerve cords of my spine

My bones dissolved, oneiroid changes took hold

My skin swirled blue-grey, my limbs became serpentine

My neck split to form gills, I no longer felt the murderous cold

Her fingers danced wildly on the strings of a bone lyre

I was lost to the world, to the whirling of the ocean gyre

The siren has drugged me, she's taken my will away

She's taken the red that was once my rage and pain
