  • Do you care about having decent enough devices to enjoy it or do you just buy the cheapest pair of earbuds to silence the world around you?

    I can’t afford truly high end gear, so I try to get the best possible; currently, it’s a set of pebble speakers and some sony headphones that I think I lucked out on because they sound amazing. I have some clunky monoprice headphones that are like honey for my ears, but the cord is broken and I can’t solder it together again. *I’ve also spent a considerable amount of time finding FLAC copies of everything I wan to listen too, which has been really easy to do once I found a certain, respectable website…

    I have a bit less than a terabyte of music that I add too sometimes if I come across something. I have it all backed up an external drive, which is really the only reason I bought it.

    Do you have favorite albums or do you just hit play on a random playlist and zone out?

    Right now I’ve been consistently listening to Zoe Keating, all her albums are great imo. Honourable mention to LCD Soundsystem, Ólafur Arnalds, Bonobo, OK Go, Odesza, Hump Back, Bombay Bicycle Club and Big|Brave (in no real order).

    Do you ever listen to music just to enjoy it and nothing else?

    Sometimes, but mostly it’s while doing other things like homework or shit posting.

    Do you talk with passion about your favorite songs/albums/artists?

    Not really, I’ve never met anyone that cares enough.

    Do you spend time searching for music?

    I sometimes find bands I like posted on the main music comm for lemmy, but usually it’s not my vibe, even though I could say it’s good. I would say that I’m satiated at this moment of time.


  • “The fact that you dare to go outside in the Netherlands, dare to work here and have the opportunity to become independent does not mean you cannot conform to the Taliban’s rules,”

    “Just because you are free now doesn’t mean you can’t be free”? What the fuck?

    Another, aged 79, says she has not slept since learning of the decision. She fled to the Netherlands 15 years ago after the Taliban demanded her daughter be handed over.

    “there are situations imaginable in which women have no difficulty conforming to the Taliban’s rules”

    🤢 What a disgusting piece of shit. How can anyone even say samething so goddamn awful?
