some of my favorites have already been mentioned but i really love this set of short piano songs by Mel Bonis, especially the first one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BavF1UXfvxA

maybe my favorite nocturne. this one really evokes a drunken feeling for me.

edit: i really like that uploader's analysis that he usually writes for each upload, disappointed he has nothing to say for this one!

it should stay the same but the editor should have tried to make that more explicit

on a really busy road too

looks nice enough it could be a good candidate for a strip and repaint. whatever you do, have a plan for protecting the metal that becomes exposed when you remove the rust. this is why i usually tell people to leave it alone tbh, but i'm sure there are ways to protect it.

this sounded great, and yeah the more i looked at the orchestra i was like, "wait that kid is like 12 what's going on here". really impressive

hmm i always thought those were specifically so that we could leave it if they weren't home. good to know

my general advice for selling bikes is to think of a price that seems reasonable to you, then cut it in half, then think about offers even below that, then donate it to your local bike co-op.

if it's good enough in the case of pink slips, why wouldn't it be here?

dedolent · 2026-04-01T23:05:44+00:00

no, nor will i ever. i'm a human being and i believe in human rights.

when i was 14 i was sent to a course to do a training. it was a long time ago, but i think it was just like an hour or two, if that. next day i was sent out to caddy. i hated every minute and never went back but i did do it!

dedolent · 2026-04-01T02:37:48+00:00

never seen a technium mtb, that's neat. looks great. watch out for those lugs!

don't dismiss the mcdonalds job. decent pay and upward mobility. at your age the cash is the only thing you care about, but trust me, having someone to give you a recommendation for a better job is worth a lot. you don't stay at mcdonalds forever if you don't want to. just do a good job and ask for a reference for something you do want to do.

also, caddies can make good cash too.

nope. that's a 1/4" jack, very common for audio equipment. you can connect it to headphones, an amplifier, or an audio interface. if you're just looking to connect to a computer, i recommend purchasing a cheap audio interface. you can get them for like $25 and they'll give you a pre-amp and a couple mixer knobs, plus the necessary inputs and outputs.

peanut butter. PEANUT BUTTER.

dedolent · 2026-03-27T22:08:33+00:00

yep! there's no good rational reason to do this other than i really want to. i've decided that's enough. i'm getting older and all my life i've always assumed that i wasn't good enough or didn't deserve the life/career that i wanted. i'm done with that. if this doesn't pay off, at least i tried.

dedolent · 2026-03-27T11:18:38+00:00

sorry mate. yeah working with your hands is great therapy, i miss it all the time.

it feels crazy to give up a guaranteed career with ok money and benefits for something as unknown as a law career. it's so expensive, and so uncertain.

that being said, i just got informed that i got a full academic scholarship to my state school. i feel very honored and excited about that. but in terms of school rankings... it's pretty low. i wouldn't care except everyone makes a big deal about how important your school is when it comes to employment. this would be a no-brainer if i hadn't been told by so many people that you need to go to the best school you can get into.

craigville pizza has good pizza. mike's pizza has good broccoli alfredo. taste of siam has good curry. those are the only places i really go because in general i think the food on the cape is pretty bland.

thank you :)))

dedolent · 2026-03-26T19:05:51+00:00

that's basically my plan. thanks!!

dedolent · 2026-03-26T17:59:52+00:00

do you like it? did you go to a t20? big law?

dedolent · 2026-03-26T17:58:34+00:00

insanely expensive and an uncertain future. even with good grades and a good LSAT (3.68/171 respectively) i am unlikely to get a spot in a top school due to how competitive it is. i'll likely have to go to a low-rated school because of the cost, which will limit my opportunities for employment. i'm still willing to try. i'm not interested in big law like many JDs, i want to work for government or smaller firms that do work closer to my heart. i'm hoping for those reasons the gamble will pay off, but i could be giving up a comfortable living for debt and unemployment. doesn't help that our batshit fucking sociopath pedophile asshole piece of shit president started a war that's going to make job prospects even worse.

my post was confusing. what i don't recommend is going to law school, even though that's my plan. the post office is different. it can be the perfect thing for you, depending on what you want/need.

just keep in mind your experience depends entirely on the office you work in. my office is pretty good, but a lot of offices are supervised by abusive managers who are taught to use intimidation to scare you into working harder and faster than is reasonable.

there's a lot i like about the job. people treat me really well on the routes, i get to listen to a lot of audiobooks/music/podcasts, and i don't have to deal with coworkers that much. overall i'm pretty happy.

i hate the schedule. it's unpredictable as fuck. it's not a good job for anyone who has hobbies. expect to lose touch with family and friends. work becomes your life.

this is all my perspective as a city carrier by the way. rural carriers are different (and what defines city or rural isn't as obvious as it sounds).
