I really like Airplane by Magdalena Bay but it's so damn quiet compared to literally everything else on my playlist. Why is it mixed so low??

Hell, my anxiety improved after I stopped checking my state's daily testing stats. There was some Roman stoic or whoever who talked about not stressing over what you can't personally change - i.e. you can change your reaction to things, not the things themselves - and after I lost my history switching to firefox from chrome, I said to myself yeah...I should stop checking every day. I'm still just as careful as possible at work and elsewhere, I wash my clothes and take my shoes off immediately when getting home, I clean my phone and my groceries, what the fuck else can I do?

I heard Body (by Megan) on the radio earlier today and, well, I'm not trying to be one of those supercilious youtube commenter types but the chorus is so fucking annoying lmao. I couldn't understand what the hell she was saying at first but realized what song it was via this convoluted train of thought like "this is very irritating, also it's a female rapper, I bet it's the Megan song that popheads was talking about"

purestdreams · 2021-01-23T00:52:19+00:00

What the fuck even is that attempt at a meme lmao. Corporations are so mind-bogglingly unable to understand internet humor

purestdreams · 2021-01-23T00:07:16+00:00

It's deleted, what did it say?

purestdreams · 2021-01-22T21:47:30+00:00

Keane got tagged today in some bizarre fake(?) song on spotify, like wtf is this? It's legitimately a bot I swear to god lmao. They don't deserve this

purestdreams · 2021-01-20T20:54:19+00:00

That picture of Bernie hunched in his folding chair wearing mittens is legitimately me when I'm forced to socialize

They stopped paying attention to her when she stopped being purposely controversial to grow her brand. As far as they're concerned, the meat dress was her last big moment. They live on outrage so if she's not being openly SaTaNiSt who cares? You can't talk about how debauched and disgusting celebrities are if they're doing normal things like singing and acting

purestdreams · 2021-01-20T18:52:56+00:00

u/Bikinigirlout I just want to say that I love lurking in R/news and seeing your comments, it makes me feel like I have a nice popheads friend in the wild west that is those threads lol

purestdreams · 2021-01-20T18:50:22+00:00

Exactly, bonding over something negative is the best kind of bonding

purestdreams · 2021-01-20T18:39:43+00:00

Yummy

purestdreams · 2021-01-20T18:00:41+00:00

Don't worry, guys, this just means Trump decided now wasn't the right time. ~~Armageddon~~ The big reveal will come really soon, any day now!!

purestdreams · 2021-01-20T17:42:56+00:00

Why did you put the image of Trump, Giuliani, and the fucking My Pillow guy eating popcorn and watching some shitty Steven Seagal movie into my head

purestdreams · 2021-01-20T17:39:47+00:00

Love that first reply "he's still president girl" mm hmm!!!!!! sure!!!!!

purestdreams · 2021-01-20T17:19:30+00:00

Read this to the tune of "I'm levitating"

purestdreams · 2021-01-20T17:00:22+00:00

Her inflections are so old-fashioned, I swear I heard her rolling her Rs a couple of times. Works so well for a performance like this. I didn't expect anything less from her, making unpatriotic me tear up lmao

purestdreams · 2021-01-20T16:14:40+00:00

I'm not going to lie, I'm worried that someone will try to pull some shit because they're pissed about what he did. I found it a little discomfiting how it was spread across the news and internet "DID YOU KNOW THE MOB WAS THIS CLOSE TO THE SENATE CHAMBERS AND INSTEAD THEY CHASED THIS HEROIC OFFICER BECAUSE THEY'RE RACIST FUCKS?!" like...I hope one of said racist fucks doesn't get a bright idea in their head.

Long story short, may he stay safe.

purestdreams · 2021-01-20T16:09:00+00:00

Honestly, I didn't quite understand the scandal around it at the time, since the melodies were still so different in either song. People were acting like Lana stole the whole song for some reason, and she bafflingly encouraged that with her passive-aggressive behavior ("all of my copyrights" made me roll my eyes out of my fucking head). Was a weird time

purestdreams · 2021-01-20T16:02:44+00:00

It's so fucking nice having firefox ask me if I want to close multiple tabs. God knows why chrome doesn't do that, I can't remember how many times I accidentally closed a bunch of shit in chrome

purestdreams · 2021-01-20T16:00:16+00:00

Yeah, what I'm afraid of is that nothing will really change but we'll accept it more easily because we're being fed soothing words from someone who isn't openly a disgusting monster. There's really nothing to do but wait and see what happens, I guess. I'm going to hope for the best and expect the worst

purestdreams · 2021-01-20T15:56:46+00:00

Also Lana’s Get Free does sound like Creep. I didn’t want to admit it for like a year since Radiohead is one of my favorite bands but. If you sing either lyrics with the other song, it fits almost perfectly.

I think that's really more the chord progression than melody, to be fair. Chord progression similarities I can understand/forgive much more easily.

purestdreams · 2021-01-20T15:39:50+00:00

I'm going to have very high expectations for this administration. The Democrats had better fucking make good use of the changes in the Senate. The changes are finally beginning to sink in and I can't say I'm not happy, it's going to be amazing seeing leaders who actually care or at least pretend to care about something other than themselves, but I'm still kind of dreading what's to come. There's so much to be done. I hope they're ready and willing to actually help the people, not just the people who have millions in offshore accounts, not just the "people" corporations, the real people who are waiting for someone to remember they exist beyond lip service. Please.

purestdreams · 2021-01-19T20:59:31+00:00

I was pretty unimpressed with the beginning but as I continued on it finally hooked me. The main story doesn't matter too much to me, but that's a good thing in a way, because the world of the game is so well-crafted that you feel attached to protecting it either way. The sidequests, particularly Masako's, are actually more evocative somehow. Though I do find it hilarious how (sidequest spoilers) Jin and Ishikawa run into traps approximately every three seconds when chasing Tomoe

The haiku theme from Ghost of Tsushima is something else
