As if I didn’t hate job interviews enough already, looks like I’ll be freelancing forever lol
trans xennial musician belligerently nice
I love synthesizers, all sorts of music (mostly electronic), b/cult movies, science fiction, DIY, graphics design, PC hardware, retro computing (Commodore <3), cooking, singing. I’m truly sorry to anyone I have unintentionally hurt in my confusion about my identity. Love and light. Sorry I can’t talk like a normal human being btw, I’m trying.
Here’s some of my music, grateful if you’d give it a listen: https://etherphon.bandcamp.com/

The stuff up there right now is a tad old, but it is some music that deals with my struggles with my realizations about my sexuality and gender, thus some of it is a little difficult and discordant. I’m working on some more joyous music. It’s 100% hardware based (synthesizers, samplers, sequencers, effects), no computer, DAW or AI involved in recording.

Ah, yeah I mean in food cases like this it’s pretty serious and should be taken as such, people get really sick, I guess I just wouldn’t put it past them to do something like that because it’s kind of what they do. I am very concerned about our food supply, food inspectors, food growers, water supply and all of that I just make jokes because I am unhappy in this consumerist hellhole we made


I haven’t really eaten taco bell since I was a teenager so I couldn’t say it’s just easy to dunk on them I guess, I prepare most of my own food at home now because fast food is not even cheap and convenient crap anymore it’s just crap, it is what it is though. FWIW I don’t think I ever got sick from them either


“You know, a man of my power could have any couch, but I chose you.”, lol
Tbh this has creepy boss vibes now that I think about it, but that’s this whole admin


Did they use Taco Bell diarrhea as a patsy for market manipulation of a salad company?


I could not be less excited about it, when I was younger I thought robots would be super cool, I loved robots, I watched the Jetsons and looked at all the cool toy robots that were the rage in the 80s in the toy catalogs. Fast forward to now, I just vastly prefer doing things myself, I enjoy doing things myself, I enjoy the fruits of my labor and don’t feel off put by daily tasks. They should be making these things to do OUR WORK for us, not OUR SIMPLE CHORES, we’re getting fucked again


over 23 million dollars after taxes
it’s all pointless and a joke now, money means absolutely nothing, hard work is for suckers, fuck it all


Even though I’m the second most powerful man in the country,
lol the fuck you are JD
hiya I just learned about a new pedal and it made me think about this thread and your friend, I thought it might be of interest to look at, it’s a bit different from the others, but it does have direct mic in so you can do vocal layering and harmony etc, looks cool anyways, it’s in preorder right now though https://gamechangeraudio.com/plus-pedal-ii/


Agree when I’m going slow I find my mind starts wandering and I’m looking around and not paying as much attention to the road, I admit that may be a fault of my own nervous system, but regardless it’s an issue


I was a bit mistaken, it was about prototype cars. Anyways, anyone cheering for the Chinese EV industry should know exactly what they are cheering for https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2023-china-ev-graveyards/
I’m not on anyone’s side but the earth’s


I thought I just read an article about how they were making and “selling” all these cars only to junk a lot of them. I guess it doesn’t matter if they are driven after they are sold as long as they are sold? Are these cars going directly to the scrap heap an amazing feat of technology for China, who also builds cities no one is allowed to live in? This is the future?


It’s like, 90% mental, the psychedelic feeling so it’s quite difficult to explain. Of course in the movies and stuff you will see a lot of visual representation of what the trip is like, and also 90% of those are total fabrications. If you are wondering about visuals, you will usually see things like motion trails where if you wave your hand in front of your face you will see a trail left behind, like motion blur. That’s low level effects, after that things start to melt a little, your vision will be more colorful and things will twist and turn and undulate, the walls will look like they a breathing a bit, things will be be like it has a life of it’s own basically kind of like how it is in a cartoon. With mid to heavier doses you will start to see actual hallucinations which vary by user and mood and setting (which are incredibly important on a trip so keep that in mind if you are curious)
The mental effects, uhm. I guess I would say it just feels like everything comes together? Logic melts away a bit and you are left with pure feeling, you are in touch with yourself, problems that seemed big may seem small or problems that were small may seem bigger, things of importance are turned around. Sometimes I would say it feels like your mind having sex with itself towards the peak. Physical sensations are also amplified, so touch feels extraordinary, music pours out of the speakers like a breeze coming at your face. It seems like there would be a lot of confusion but there is also a profound sense of peace if you can hold on to it. It sounds like what you got what something else. I hope it was helpful


hey freeBSD how you doin’


hehe yeah I just don’t do well in those situations at all, doctors office and hospitals put me on edge immediately, I’m not sure if it’s the sterility of the place or what so I get it. I was (I guess?) blessed with veins that you could hit from space so I don’t have a lot of trouble with needles that way, however, I have had a life long fear of being poked in the eye by a sharp object or needle or something so every time something sharp comes out anywhere close to my eyes I twinge
glad you got through it okay and good tip about the arm :)
lovely not-scary day to you too! 💜
I don’t know if it would be a fit for the fediverse, but I do know of what seems to be like a great community that has seemed to survive for a long time where others have long gone by charging something like $5 to sign up one time.
