Where is that? I couldn’t find it

Damn. They’re just trying to wreck shit

Did they ban a sub related to it, or more of the same bullshit by reckoning removing mods?

Only a double handful of people have ever heard it (and known it was me), but I do a passable kargyra, the deep version of tuvan throat singing. Watched Genghis Blues many years ago and tried to do it. Surprisingly, I got it after maybe ten minutes of trying. I can do the other forms as well, but not quite as reliably.

It’s strangely satisfying to do. But it’s some I really only do for my own pleasure, so it’s rare for me to do it when other people are around because they get all curious about it, which ends up as an interruption.

However! I did do a song with a band where I did it on a self written verse. Local band, they do their own records and such. But I did two songs with them, that one where I did the kargyra and the chorus in metal growl, then another with just the growl.

So, people have heard it, but don’t realize that it’s me. I’m credited as “background vocals” (under my real name, so I can’t/don’t disclose the band lol). They’ve sold maybe a thousand discs and downloads of that album total.

They usually play my part as a recorded track at shows (the one with the kargyra is a highly requested track among their tiny fan base), but they did a local show a little while ago and my buddy that fronts the band called in a favor I owed him to get me to do both at the show. So I got all dressed up in black, braided my beard, did corpse paint, and wore a fucking cowl and did it!

I hate crowds. PTSD and such. But it was almost fun okay, the performing was fun, but I was kinda shaking by the end of the night from too many people. I dunno if anyone was fooled (im kinda distinctive looking overall), but nobody has said anything if they weren’t.

Cinnamon almost exclusively. But sometimes plasma.

You don’t. We live in the wonderful age of keyboard predictions where you type. Comm and community and communities both pop up as options. You’d have to take extra steps to get it any shorter.

Unless, like anyone with sense, you just type c/ or c/s and have done with it :)

No, no he isn’t.

Aether itself. Moderation by the masses is just going to end up a cesspool

Preach!

Well, years and years ago, my neighbor had a little black-furred mutt.

Wanna guess its name? It rhymes with bigger.

Now, you wanna hear the hilarious part? My neighbor was African American. She named it that because, “ain’t like white folk don’t call black dogs that, at least she’ll know to come when someone says it, and she can bite their ass.”

Miss Margaret was awesome.

Splash in puddles

I cum blood.

I’m not bragging, that’s the name of the song

Nope, a “moon” was a single cycle of the moon through its phases, which is closest to a month out of the units we use currently.

While you can ignore that and use the word however you want, and it’s definitely possible that people have done so as a form of word play to indicate shorter units of time, it does have a usage that’s been around for a least a couple hundred years in English, and way longer in other languages.

The word month comes from moon, and in other languages, the words for month are usually also derived from their words for moon.

In English, the way the word evolved, a it was the period of time from one “new” moon to the next.

Many moons, as a phrase, came from a native American term that was used to express “a long, but undetermined time ago”. It isn’t exclusive to any specific peoples, nor only to native Americans, but the English idiom version came from a translation from a native speaker

Trade is, however, a similar term for “a long time” that’s used almost exclusively an an exaggeration, “a month of Sundays”. In a literal sense, that would mean approximately 30 Sundays, obviously, which isn’t even a full year, but it’s almost always used to express a much longer, but unspecified, time frame.

I gotta be honest, that sounds like crap. It’s a recipe for a race to the bottom

And, if it isn’t maintained, it might as well not exist. Trying to fuck around with it would just take the lemmy team’s time away from their progress as they move forward with their intended plans.

I ran into offline back in the early 2ks, then in chat rooms.

But it didn’t go viral until reddit, that’s for sure.

Whoa, whoa, we can’t have effortposting like this, you’ll screw the grading curve for the rest of us

What’s your problem with beans? Are you a bean hater? You best step off my bean-bros, bro!

Banana for scale pre-existed reddit, and is unlikely to die soon lol

But yeah, fuck the rest of that list, I’m with you :)

Well, I’ve tried all of them that I’ve run across.

Aside from jerboa, liftoff, connect, and thunder are the furthest along. They’re all great in their own way.

Summit, slide, and lemmedit, or whatever the abandoned one on the play store is, are all quasi functional. Summit can’t log in that I could find.

Slide is working overall, and the double columns in portrait orientation is awesome to have back. The tabbed interface only lets you switch between all/local/subscribed rather than through your subscribed C/s, but it should get there eventually.

Jerboa is pretty much the most functional overall. Anything you can do via web, you can do in app. And, you can usually do it from your feed rather than having to tap through. Subscribing is the exception there.

All of them can be a bit pissy with links sporadically. You may or may not get taken where you think you will, no matter how the link is formatted.

I think it’s connect that does the “everything” feed, which is cool as hell. Great feature that nothing else has as of yet. But, connect isn’t open source currently. Which, on a system like lemmy, that’s going to be a hard sell long term, though I believe the dev said they were going to open eventually.

The first app to figure out multi subscription function is going to end up the default though. Everybody wants to organize their communities into sorted feeds like multireddits.

I’m eager to see what sync and boost bring to the table, since they’re waiting to release until they’re beyond alpha, from what I’ve heard. Two extremely experienced devs with a long history of excellent UI, aesthetics, and functionality. There’s no telling what they’ll be able to add on top of the lemmy API basics.

Overall, I end up using jerboa the most because I use the all feed for discovery a lot, and it’s easier to subscribe and block from jerboa with minimum tap throughs. The feed also works well with the header above links/images, and good division between posts

But I like liftoff the most overall. It flows the best for me until slide and its multiple column display is backed up with more of the basic features as well. I mostly accessed reddit from tablets, and it’s the same with lemmy. Being able to make use of the screen real estate better is a killer feature for me.

Word!
