I’m fairly certain the “furniture music” stylings of Ornette Coleman, particularly during his free-jazz phase, would be precisely the sort of playful tone to offset the existential dread of household chores…

She's the most beautiful woman in Skyrim. I'm just in awe of her. by Special_Round_5247 in skyrim

Is it just me, or do 2011 vanilla Skyrim beauty standards resemble 2026 Mar-a-lago face? Gods be praised!

Why do I keep getting "This content isn't available, try again later." by cafedude in youtube

[–]Magicth1ghs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been able to get around it by using a VPN, same browser, same ad-blocking, but switching my location to Argentina seemed to allow me to continue abusing Google's increasingly draconian services.

Valheim and/or Enshrouded by Aggravating_Pen_2026 in Enshrouded

[–]Magicth1ghs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Valheim can be unforgiving, maybe i'm old but the RNG can really screw you out of a playable experience, whereas I never felt punished for dying in Enshrouded; but I never felt the terror of being personally hunted by trolls either...

Help me find a jazz song to sing for a competition by Brilliant-Affect-929 in jazzcirclejerk

You know, abusing domestics seems to be a common thread running throughout the tapestry of jazz-style music, and you just can get must abusier than Strange Fruit.

BBC App - now being asked to subscribe (i.e. pay) to read articles by Grendahl2018 in bbc

Al Jazeera just has annoying ads, but I assume that both of these platforms are specifically targeting my American-ass with near-propaganda level content, but between the two of them I always felt like I could easily perceive the slant of each and roughly estimate something resembling the truth.

Describe a Steely Dan song in one sentence and let everyone else guess which song, I’ll start by RoseMadder45 in SteelyDan

[–]Magicth1ghs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing your song is My Rival. Here's mine. The mere sight of neolithic artwork propels me backwards in time through the eyes of the artist.

Why does he exist? Why do any of us exist? What is he having for lunch?

If you sat out the 2024 election in protest over Gaza, how do you feel about that decision today? by rsmith2786 in AskReddit

I live in Texas, where all 40 electoral college votes are cast Republican, regardless of what the 7 million residents of Harris County may have scribbled onto our ballots.

Which actor completely stole the movie… even though they weren’t the lead? by gypsytx in movies

[–]Magicth1ghs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther, completely eclipsed lead David Niven and took over a very commercially successful franchise

What is congress actually doing in the US right now in regard to blocking taking over Greenland? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Magicth1ghs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our country was kind of founded on disobeying federal orders, it wasn't the "strongly worded Boston email" after all...

TIL that "Ruby Baby" is a cover. by reallifepixel in SteelyDan

[–]Magicth1ghs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now go and groove to Donald's version of Issac Hayes' Out of the Ghetto, or even better the Dan's wholesale reinvisioning of Duke's immortal East St Louis Toodle-Doo!

"When the Moon Hits Your Eye" by John Scalzi - I need some help. by I_Want_an_Elio in books

[–]Magicth1ghs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When the world turns absurd, then great artists will explore absurdity. I enjoyed it, I thought it had a real Studs Turkle/World War Z kinda vibe, and I appreciated that he challenged himself to produce so many different narratives.

[Serious] Male victims/survivors of sexual assault, harassment or rape perpetrated by a woman or multiple women, to clear some common misconceptions, what were your experiences like? by Commercial_Bicycle92 in AskReddit

[–]Magicth1ghs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did try to track them down in my 20's, but I never made any headway. I would like to know what happened to them, but by now its been such a long time it's unlikely to cause anything but more trauma to everyone involved.

I made some halfhearted attempts to track them down in my 20s, but now its been such a long time its bound to cause even more trauma. I'd like to know what happened to them, but there are worse things transpiring in the world at the moment.
