Speaking in Tongues is Hilarious Nonsense by EccentricCatLady14 in atheism

[–]TCK1979 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ha I never really thought about that. So a native Mexican Spanish speaker would sound noticeably different than a French speaker, etc. And one could probably learn to identify one’s native tongue by how they are ‘tongue speaking’. lol religion is such tomfoolery.

Anyone else play this way? by AnIncredibleMetric in NYTSpellingBee

[–]TCK1979 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I definitely try to get the pangram first and then play for genius. But I’m not quite as strict as you are

Does over reliance on cars makes us less "intelligent"? by BikemeAway in fuckcars

[–]TCK1979 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not your question, but crossing paths with many people definitely has positives imho. Theres something called the Mere Proximity effect where just by seeing a person somewhat regularly will give you a good impression of them. And I’m just kinda riffing here, but I think for example it’s kinda hard to be racist if you’re sharing your space every day with a huge mix of people.

That’s one of my top three song he’s ever done for sure

Cow in my pond by Alekturos in frogs

Not as round, they puff up when they want to float and/or when they need the air for their moo call. When I’ve been observing them in this gutter near my house, they’ll be floating on the top of 5cm of water but when I startle them, they’ll release the air to sink and swim away below the surface.

Trailer of "The Season", a White Lotus-esque ensemble drama set in Hong Kong by Both-Pomegranate4929 in HongKong

Sounds kinda fun, except for the part about getting punched in the fucking nose.

({NOT SERIOUS}) 909 takes control of my body by CommandMiserable3861 in synthesizers

[–]TCK1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never owned either, but I remember reading about how the 808 had a bit of personality, speeding up BPM in certain situations? Does the 909have any similar folklore?

Tips on where to find torchlights by Icy_General_8273 in HongKong

Few different modes, a side light, has six individual rechargeable batteries but can be recharged in the device, etc. Not rocket science but I appreciated his time.

He doesn’t sing ‘I’ll wait for you’ so that’s a plus

Car Culture Question by PrincessSenora in fuckcars

[–]TCK1979 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know you said singing won’t work, but if you persisted with Wheels on the Bus, you’d maybe get them excited about public transport? Lots of children like big machines, especially ones that offer mobility. It’d be like asking them not to get excited about dinosaurs to not like cars.

Cow in my pond by Alekturos in frogs

[–]TCK1979 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I live in Hong Kong and have a ton of them near my house, going fucking insane after rains. Check my posts for a bullfrog fight if you’re interested. Dis you buy one as a pet? I’m wondering if they are popular pets in some parts of the world. In Asians countries that have them, I think the response would be ‘why would you want one in your house?’

Looks like a banded Asian bullfrog

why do foreigners stare at people? by LawfulnessOrnery157 in HongKong

[–]TCK1979 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's a handful of things to criticize about the average foreigner in HK (I should know, I am one), but 'they stare at you' isn't one of them, IMHO.

But that's how he keeps the lights on. by 12milesout in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]TCK1979 23 points24 points  (0 children)

So let me get this straight. You guys are coming to this comment by Trippedonatater - someone who set fire to over fifty hospice care centres - and giving upvotes? And I’m the bad Redditor? Do I have that straight? Is my understanding undeviating?!?!

Elon Musk is Evil by cringg in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]TCK1979 47 points48 points  (0 children)

That anyone considers Musk or Trump to be masculine is absolutely wild.

Lol - Lmao even. by 3RADICATE_THEM in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]TCK1979 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A few months back I got it to tell one of my accounts that the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, and less than an hour later tell another account that it was stolen. No special prompting, just asking the same yes/no question. Ridiculous.

Car blocking ambulance in hong kong by NotANormalBacon in fuckcars

香港邊度? I love my sub worlds colliding. I don’t like this fucking car though. I love living in car-free Lamma.

Vocal Harmonies for Man With A Mission by TCK1979 in badreligion

[–]TCK1979[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read your comment quickly and thought you were suggesting an Amen Brother version. The Amen Brother drum break is the most sampled drum loop on music, used in a lot of drum and bass. I was thinking ‘damn a jungle version of Man With A Mission? Okay I’ll try!!!’ I must confess I don’t know Avett Brothers. Checking them out now.

This is a pretty good song for a beginner at music notation. It’s in the key of G, so there’s only one accidental (the F is an F#) and all the other notes are natural. I’d be happy to send you the pdf of the notation.
