It's ironic that free jazz records are often very expensive.

One of a guineafowl's best skills is just making a big mess! Yup! Just making a huge, horrible, uncleanable mess! Yes and they're round while doing it

How posting works is that you have a feeling and then you start yelling

[codll]

I don't really understand ask games. like if you wanna answer some questions that you've already written why not just do it. you don't gotta wait for someone to send you a number or an emoji

[pandioncristatus]

i think the sensation people want is to be asked a question! if you pick the question yourself there's always that weird sense of doubt. it's easier to answer a question posed by somebody else.

Local radio stations that I think are interesting:

The Community radio station:

literly plays every type of music..it has so much variety that it's rare you ever hear a song played a second time. Special programing time slots for classifications like local artists, Latin American artist, Indigenous artists, LGBT artists, foreign music, bluegrass, jazz, experimental, eletric, gospel, blues, elrctro pop, psychedelic and many more. And it's funded by listener donations so there are no commercials. Honestly it's great I'd wager it's probably one of the best radio stations period.

The mystery station:

This station never has any talking at all not even a blurb saying the station name.. it's music only 24/7 as far as I can tell..I've kept it on for extended periods of time to see if it ever has breaks but it hasn't yet.. may be pirate radio I'm not sure?? Mostly plays classic hits/ older popular songs

The 70's heavy channel:

More of a normal station however they play music ranging from 60s-80s with a majority of the songs being from the 70s and they're not afraid to put on deeper cuts occasionally. They also play the top 40 for a week in the 70s every weekend which is interesting to listen to. A fun thing they did tgis year was a big song tournament and the top song according to the local listeners was The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Has commercials but is lessened by a number of underwriters which are mentioned by the dj instead of having to listen to annoying prerecorded adds.

The cultist radio station

Literally a radio station ran/owned by a ufo cult. The leader of which had musical ambitions and all the songs played are sung by him featuring lyrics about his beliefs/spirituality.. the most notable one imo is one where he sings about the starships... the song writing/voice quality is considered poor in general.. it's definitelyan oddity... The leader died last year but the station still lives for now.

[pandioncristatus]

oh you need to start recording the cultist one. or check that somebody is doing it, at least. thats going to become lost media.

I'm officially sick of the sound AI. I don't call it a word because I don't know what it means. Somebody on the radio was calling the electric guitar and Rhodes piano AI, which indicates the term has meaning far from where it began

Can we move on to a different financial scam. Maybe everybody can be worried about gold again

I don't remember much of Doctor Who but I do remember him (in the form of Christopher Eccelston) saying he could bring down the government with six words. I think of this often because of the Voice to Parliament referendum here that was defeated in part because of an effective six-word slogan.

I enter the Egyptian hall of the dead (it turns out they were the closest about what happens). I see Thoth. I am not worried until I see that instead of my heart, he has a printed copy of all my posts.

Some answers:

This is a double dactyl without the repetition restriction. It abides by all the other original rules.

The original double dactyl was invented by Anthony Hecht et al on November the 3rd, 1951, sometime in the afternoon.

The rules for the original double dactyl are as follows, quoting from Hecht's 1967 book Jiggery-Pokery: A Compendium of Double Dactyls [bolding mine to indicate the repetition restriction]:

"The form itself, as it was determined that November day in Rome, is composed of two quatrains of which the last line of the first rhymes with the last line of the second. All the lines except the rhyming ones, which are truncated, are composed of two dactylic feet. The first line of the poem must be a double dactylic nonsense line, like "Higgledy-piggledy," or 'Tocketa-pocketa" (this last, of course, borrowed from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty). The second line must be a double dactylic name. And then, somewhere in the poem, though preferably in the second stanza, and ideally in the antepenultimate line, there must be at least one double dactylic line which is one word long. (Foreign languages may be employed, and indeed there is a hope that this form will restore macaronic verse to the dignity it has not enjoyed since the Late Middle Ages.) But, and the beauty of the form consists chiefly in this, once such a double dactylic word has successfully been employed in this verse form, it may never be used again."

I have some beef with Yudkowsky but I actually do think it's a life-defining moment of glory that, to more widely proselytize his philosophy, he wrote a 650,000-word Harry Potter fanfic about it, choosing that fandom purely because it was the biggest at the time. Imagine how cool it would have been if, instead of pivoting back to normal writing and original fiction after he finished that, he had just started over with new trending fandoms. We could have had a version about Captain America; we could be 250K words into Genshin Impact and the Methods of Rationality.

[loveswirl]

always write from at least three different perspectives at once with zero indication of who is what and where is how and,

[detectivehole]

unless its egregious, i'm not embarrassed to be fooled by ai. "oh i got lied to via something made by the Lying Machine the machine we made to Lie really well" like it's gonna happen it's no egg on your face. just be chill about it

[detectivehole]

don't get me wrong. it's always devastating always humbling. no one wants to fall for the lying machine it just sounds bad. but you can't dwell
