As someone working in the tech industry (not from the US), the comparatively better working conditions and pay compared to most other jobs sadly create a big bubble for most people, where the ideas of exploitation seem like they only occur in manual labour jobs. There doesn't seem to be much of class consciousness when you and your colleagues are better off than most other people.

Black metal as a genre. I could not believe that anyone seriously listened to that. It was either random noise or actually scary stuff (I am the black wizards actually scared me for some reason lol). But after enough exposure and playing Freezing moon myself, I actually got to enjoy it to the point where now I listend to black metal 80% of the time.

In the same vein, "Sons of Winter and Stars" by Wintersun was so unharmonized and terrible to me when I first listened to it, but after a few listens it became one of my favourite songs

I remember reading "Hypatia: The Life and Legend of an Ancient Philosopher" by Edward J. Watts, and the book makes a really good point on how Hypatia is remembered for her death more than for her life. She's regarded as a mrtyr for philosophy, as a victim of Christianity, as a feminist icon, but her life and achievements are, unfairly, rarely discussed.

Really recommend the book, it was a very nice and light read. But working from memory, Hypatia taught a variant of Neoplatonism that was acceptable to both Christians and polytheists, and so her lectures could bind the fractured society of Alexandria, as students from all sorts of backgrounds attended.

Mostly Cellar Darling, Sargeist and Behexen. I listened to some Amon Amarth yesterday, but death metal kinda bores me quickly, and I'm used to spinning like 3 albums for months on end

My headcanon is that Data names every cat he owns 'Spot' and he has different cats throughout the series

He also made beautiful poetry that many of us can relate to:

You tell me to do this,
He tells me to do that.
You're all bastards,
Go fuck your mother.

"Poem about bastards" by Zhang Zongchang

I never heard about the tildeverse before, sounds really interesting. How does one choose which tilde to join, though? It seems to me like only cosmic.voyage has a specific theme, while the rest only differ in the OS running on the machine. Or are tildes just there to host your account, while all the interactions are done via irc?

I figured that she noticed him visually, a shadow was cast or she saw movement. Anon also said that she heard her mom "for the first time" when she got the implant.

Taking all this into account, while the greentext seems to have avoided the first label of homosexuality, the verity of the story nevertheless has to be put into question.

Yeah, the texture is not the best, but I found that cooking oats in water and adding frozen berries makes it really good taste-wise. And a colleague told me that adding milk to oats cooked in water is almost the same as cooking them in milk.

But man, adding semolina to your oats and cooking them with milk makes suuuuch a good breakfast because the semolina provides a tasty dense medium in which the oats are suspended.
