Corrected, thanks.

Unrelated, but genuine curiosity - Why the usage of the ~~thorn~~ eth rather than spelling the word "the" out? Ain't bothered by it or nothin', just interesting to see out in the wild online!

I'll throw RRR onto the international pile since it's the kinda film that feels like the greatest movie ever while you're watching it.

Just contributed myself, and subbed. Always looking for a good jam after a good smoke.

Find a stoner buddy whose autistic special interest is music and music history. You'll have endless recommendations for cool shit.

As for me personally, I like looking up music and genres specific to local areas, particularly those from other cultures. Afrobeat's been big on my mind ever since I discovered it, and I've been having good luck searching through old Zamrock albums.

Having never heard of this show until now, I'm gonna assume the subversion lies in "it was all a dream" territory?

No that's the one made extinct by feral cats, but that's a different episode of Tom Scott's Citation Needed than the one where I learned about the bird I was thinking of. Completely forgot that's where I'd heard about it!

The bird I had in mind is the Great Auk, which was mentioned in a separate episode of Citation Needed lol

From Wikipedia: "The last pair, found incubating an egg, was killed there on 3 June 1844, on request from a merchant who wanted specimens.[56][c]

Jón Brandsson and Sigurður Ísleifsson, the men who had killed the last birds, were interviewed by great auk specialist John Wolley,[59] and Sigurður described the act as follows:

The rocks were covered with blackbirds [guillemots] and there were the Geirfugles ... They walked slowly. Jón Brandsson crept up with his arms open. The bird that Jón got went into a corner but [mine] was going to the edge of the cliff. It walked like a man ... but moved its feet quickly. [I] caught it close to the edge – a precipice many fathoms deep. Its wings lay close to the sides – not hanging out. I took him by the neck and he flapped his wings. He made no cry. I strangled him.[8]: 82–83

I'm struggling to remember the details, but I recall one account where somebody found a very rare, very endangered bird with its nest, strangled the bird and smashed the eggs within the nest, effectively just for shits and giggles. I'll edit and update this if I can find the details.

Wishing you the best of luck regardless, mate. You aren't alone in this.

In the event this is a legitimate admission of intent, here mate. I hope you can find peace for your troubled mind.

Inspired by the very similar thread about school incidents.

 

Apologies if this post ain't right for this community! I'm admittedly not interested in self-hosting myself, but I've a close buddy who's wanting to get back to streaming, but rightfully hates Amazon. He's wanting to self-host with Owncast to do video streaming with his pals, but lives in a very small flat with very little free space - hence the request for a laptop.

Ideally he's needing something great for video encoding, and Linux friendly to boot. No Windows. Mate's got a budget of ~£1,000.

If there's a better community for this lemme know!

 

After a best mate of mine introduced me to Fela Kuti's works I've been real interested in hearing music from other cultures you don't hear much stuff from. Doesn't have to be traditional music styles (love it when genres and cultures fuse together, like Masayoshi Takanaka taking influence from Brazilian music), but I'd love to hear that as well!

 

One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What're some of your favorites?
