So this is based on an old story I made in like sixth grade.

Don't expect this to be good, it's just a scenario.

You are among the last of the Japanese in 2011. No one wants to travel there and gain citizenship or anything either. You see, there was a blast, killing thousands of people and leaving destruction behind. You are living in a shelter on an island in the "good part" of Japan, which a kind and gentle man took you to. You are with mostly teens and young adults, all survivors of this blast.

Many songs you hear are about the end of the world and the end of Japan, and you end up finding an old 90s VHS tape of a music video seemingly predicting the Great Blast of 2009. The tape is partially destroyed, going from black and white, staticky, the audio slowing down and such at some parts.

How I would feel if I was the character:

You feel as if something is behind you, often looking over your shoulder. The distortion startles you, though it's to be expected from a damaged tape, and you can't get the audio out of your head. Especially due to the "prediction" of the Blast, it seems so ominous.

I like to listen to music that has a great feel to it and in languages I do not speak or understand. That way I can enjoy it without the burden of terrible lyrics. ☺️

I have a few that I listen to a lot:

Amatz by Shanti Dope - Filipino rap

Mundian To Bach Ke by Punjabi MC - upbeat Bollywood style

Life on Mars by Seu Jorge - just him and a guitar

Update: I have created a Spotify playlist with the songs so far. I will continue to update the list as new songs get added. If you find your song on the list but meant a different version please DM me a link to the one you want. Enjoy!

Update: Thanks to all who have participated so far! The playlist is getting long and very eclectic. I am being introduced to what will soon become some of my favorite songs and styles. I will keep updating the playlist as new music is added.

As someone who is going to have to get a job in 2-3 years, I'm dreading the day. Going to the same place 5 days a week coming home with no time and energy left for anything you actually like and doing this for FOURTY years or even more if you were unlucky, sounds HORRIBLE!! How could anyone actually like working?

I‘d like to know: Do you use your real name on other Social Media instances? How do your comments differ from the ones you make public from those ones made anonymous?

Today I took my first 100mg capsule of psilocybin, two hours ago, and all I feel is probably some light headedness, no noticeable difference in mood. Should I do 200mg tomorrow or just stick with 100mg? I'm supposed to take for 4 days, and three days off.

Not the lyrics to the song. Specifically the guitar/music intro. Hope that makes sense.

Do you care about celebrating birthdays much or no? Personally, I don't care much about celebrating birthdays.

for me RAM is a perfected technology, new buses will come, more speed, but it will fundamentally be the same manufacturing process, same materials. The prospect is that LLMs will keep getting larger, more RAM will be required, and the prices will keep getting higher, or along the curve, while the demand will keep up with it because everything has RAM in it. Do you see a point in the future where the industry forks out of this, and there's an alternative where the end user is not affected as much from the demand of this resource?

It's been about three-and-a-half weeks now since I filled up a couple 5-gallon containers in anticipation of power outages during a winter storm. Since I'm a dumb dumb, I did not add stabilizer at the time, but I do have some Seafoam stabilizer on hand.

I understand fuel degrades over time and running degraded fuel can damage engine parts. Should I pour the fuel into my vehicle or will that gum up my car's engine? Is it still worth adding stabilizer today so that I can continue to store it in my garage for a rainy day? The only other responsible alternative I can think of is taking it to a hazardous disposal site in my county. It's octane rating 87, I believe it also has ethanol, in case that makes any difference.

I’ve been trying to find a place where people actually talk about things properly, not just drop random comments or try to go viral. Everywhere I look it’s either full of spam, trolls, or people arguing just for the sake of it. I just want a space where you can share an opinion, hear different sides, and have a real back-and-forth without it getting messy.

I’m not looking for drama or an echo chamber. Just normal people having solid discussions and being respectful, even if they disagree. If you know a platform like that, tell me what it’s like and why you’d recommend it.

I have to reach the ceiling above the toilet but the space between the sink and the toilet is too narrow for my step ladder to fit. It would be for just a couple minutes.

I've found that all the web archiving software I've encountered are either manual (you have to archive everything individually in a separate application) or crawler-based (which can end up putting a lot of extra load on smaller web server, and could even get your ip blocked).

Are there any solutions that simply automatically archive web pages as you load them in your browser? If not, why aren't there?

I could also see something like that being useful as a self-hosted web indexer, where if you ever go "I think I've seen this name before", you can click on it, and your computer will say something like "this name appeared in a news headline you scrolled past two weeks ago"

Puts a lump in your throat and makes you rethink your life?(lol)

Without you by Air Supply

Age verification becomes more common. Australia, France, etc. introduce such laws to ban children below 15 years from social media platforms, to protect them.

Will these laws also be relevant to fediverse/lemmy specifically?

Personally I think these laws will focus on the big platforms at first (facebook/meta, youtube, discord, instagramm), which will force younger users with technical skills onto smaller and niche sites. Over time focus on this question will increase for the fediverse.

I'm a RN (registered nurse), my hospital offered me to to become a Wound Care Nurse. They would cover 80% of the cost, so I'd end paying 20% of it.

Why scared you ask?

I've worked at several units at my hospital and I invariably met a majority of childish coworkers and a minority of the good ones, a minority from whom I'd always learn something, but most were and are just immature.

Immature behaviors include caring more about going smoking together and talking like teenagers about who dated who or whose ex is coming momentarily to work at the unit, yelling like they were in a bar, promising the manager when I first come to the unit to show me around and to actually teach me something during my training to do a complete 180 when the manager leaves, ignoring me, being passive aggressive, talking about nothing job related, while ignoring calling patients, or being outright hostile when I ask who is going to take care of what patients so I can organize my shift and start to work. Usually, if you work in a unit with those characters and you are the responsible one, you end up doing your job AND theirs, but I don't see a dime more.

Complaining to management didn't change anything. They usually side with the majority, because it's easier for them.

What I fear is having to work with any of these characters during my certification because I don't trust them and I don't want to be treated unfairly (getting a lower score) just because the person who examines me has beef with me.

For this to work I need people, teachers and mentors who take it as seriously as I do. I've already quit several units because this wasn't the case.

Afaik weather will become more extreme, so some regions will get very wet (flooding damage) (as we see currently with Portugal), and some very dry (drought).

From a physical viewpoint, climate change will heat up the oceans, so more energy will be available to lift up water into the atmosphere/clouds?

Regardless of whether or not you actually like the music, which title for an album is your favourite?

At work. With colleagues.

And he makes crude jokes about his D*** (regarding his wife)

it's too often the powerfantasy wishfulfillment of a MC turning out to get OP after fate decides so.

but what about stories where fate humbles the demon lord? the infinite regressor becoming a simple villager?

It's my cake day, notice me!!!!
