That reminds me, why do so many people confuse “they’re”, “their” and “there”?

It’s not really a single song for me, it really depends on how depressed I am and whether I want to dive deeper into it (which really helps a lot sometimes) or make myself feel better.

Dive-in (including, but not limited to):

• The album Spiderland by Slint is pretty much full of depression songs for me, gloomy and full of dread. Don, Aman and Washer in particular are very hard hitting for me.

• F#A#∞ by Godspeed You! Black Emperor has similar vibes but is a lot more dystopian and pessimistic. Ever since hearing East Hastings in 28 Days Later it’s been my favourite song on the album.

Feel better (including, but not limited to):

• Everybody Hurts by R.E.M.; I normally don’t like this kind of songs but this one just feels honest and sincere which I can appreciate, plus Michael Stipe just has a great voice.
• Down Under by Men At Work; Pretty much the polar opposite of the post-punk/-rock songs mentioned above. I really want to move to Australia one day and this song reminds me of that goal.
• Happiness/The Gondola Man by Elliott Smith; just a nice song and I really like Elliott’s voice.

I kinda just stopped trying, now I’m just doing whatever I can to get out of those situations. I don’t really care what they think about that any more.

I’ve tried to make things right for everyone around me all my life, it’s time I finally look after myself more.

My family is very ignorant when it comes to dealing with my Autism. Family gatherings (which happen quite frequently) are super uncomfortable for me and nobody seems to get why, despite me explaining it over and over again. My older brother won’t even acknowledge me having Asperger’s, he just thinks I’m “being weird” on purpose.

I’ve used Strawberry before but it didn’t really work for me to be honest…

Nearly all of Studio Ghibli’s earlier films weren’t shown in cinemas. The first one that got a theatrical release over here was Spirited Away (most likely because of its Disney backing).

Princess Mononoke still remains my favourite film.

Definitely PowerToys, there’s some great utilities in there like a Spotlight-esque search/launch bar or a tool to rename multiple files at once.

EarTrumpet is great, too, being basically an enhanced version of the standard audio mixer that lets you change audio devices quickly.

My favourite Windows-only app is probably Foobar2000, though, it’s an endlessly customisable music player with hundreds of plug-ins for nearly every conceivable use case. It takes a while to set up but once you do there’s nothing better.

Pure waa a

YouTube Revanced Extended - No ads, almost endless customisation options, built in Return Dislikes and Sponsorblock

SmartTube Next - Same thing for Android TV devices

Boost for Lemmy - The best Lemmy client as far as I’m concerned, highly customisable too

AIMP - No nonsense music player with a clear UI

You can turn it off under Preferences > General (it’s right at the bottom “Disable AI Assistant”)

I’d be more interested if you can disable the forced-on tablet mode… the menu bar is huge

I’ll give it a try. Thanks!

Where would I get an invite link for that?

I’ve never found anything about those short video platforms appealing, yes there’s some creative people making great content on them but everything else is pretty much garbage.

My phone gets maybe an hour of use on a regular day and most of that is searching for music to listen to on Tidal.

I think it’s down to not wanting to be told how to feel about something, for me at least.

In addition to that most emojis diaplay really exaggerated emotions, so they’re not even depicting OP’s feelings that accurately.

That’s kinda like double-mapping a button on a controller, yeah you get used to it but it just makes it more complicated IMO.

Tidal still has the heart and hides away the option to add to playlist in a hamburger menu, which adds one tap but personally, I use the heart function way more often so I don’t really mind.

Everything made by Nestle is automatically garbage, unfortunately…

It’s pretty misleading if your not familiar with the interface, isn’t it?

The plus to me signifies that the song will be added to a playlist and personally, I’d be pretty confused if it doesn’t bring up a prompt to choose said playlist. The minus is even more confusing in that context.

My dad always bought the no-name cookies for us, according to him every major brand had a deal with discount supermarkets to sell their brand name product under a cheaper no-name alias.

That might be true in some cases but the stuff he bought was mostly just cheap knock-offs that didn’t even come close to the original.
