It might work better in a shorter dad joke format.

3·2 days agoI performed that song in my youth. I’d play the keyboard solo during the intro and then rush to the microphone while holding the final note on the keyboard when the song is about to enter.
Original by David Bowie 1977.
motörhead recorded the cover version while recording their last album in 2015.
Generally I would say I like the music of Bowie better than motörhead, but in this case, their cover of his song is better than the original.
Yeah, I think the word means the same to both groups, and the ones using it in a positive sense just needs to own it. Don’t let the ones using it sarcastically take ownership of that use.
If someone called me “wOkE” to my face, I’d say “yes I’m woke, do you have problem with that?”
The definition is one thing. You can easily look it up.

The use is another. People are obviously not on the same page in the way it is used.
The word has existed in American politics since the 1930s.
It is only recently that it is being used by Republicans as a negative term.
2·7 days agoI think walking is on the right track. If you feel mental fatigue from playing music (or other hobby), you will need to recharge and get new inspiration.
Physical activity is the best way to let the mind recharge.
Personally I currently have a lot of wood to chop, and so I do that hard manual labor just to disconnect the mind. People keep asking me if I want to borrow their electric wood chopper. I have turned down 5 people by now, and my in-law even delivered one without asking - insisting to help out. Obviously I don’t use it, because that’s not the point at all. If I wanted chopped wood I could simply buy it. I want to chop wood, because it’s a way for me to mentally zone out.
Anyway, you can spice up your walks by bringing a sketch pad and draw something. Perhaps that’ll keep your mind more focused on observing the sorroundings and giving a purpose to the walking.
11·12 days agoDon’t tell me how to pronounce TLA.
It’s a sick variation of the screaming hand.
2·20 days agoLibreOffice also has LibreOffice Basic, but Visual Basic is definitely easier to find help for online.
Someone ought to update the spreadsheet program. Excel is the primary reason companies are stuck on MS Office.
Excel isn’t even that great and could be improved greatly, but unfortunately LibreOffice Calc is even worse currently.
Babies will mimick whatever sounds you say.
Modern parenting practice is not to teach them gibberish first, when you might as well speak normally to them. They’re small humans and should be treated as humans. Would you say goo goo ga ga to your friends or co-workers?
Grown ups who speak baby language to children are frowned upon. Why are they doing that boomer shit? They look like idiots and it isn’t helping anyone.
If you want to change your communication to facilitate a faster learning curve for a child to learn spoken language, you’re better off combining regular speech with sign language. They pick that up faster.
2·23 days agoYou’re supposed to have a plastic handle for it.
Keep in mind that the algorithms will push the most engaging content to you, so you’ll see stuff that pisses people off the most. It’s literally upvoting troll accounts automatically.
Anyway, whenever you encounter an actual account who is posting stupid false narratives, the best way isn’t to start arguing or throw links to true explanations and such.
Instead, simply ask them “why do you believe that stupid shit?” and leave them to either investigate the matter themselves, thereby hopefully teaching them something, or let them back out with the typical non-answer like “do your own research” which itself undermines whatever they just said.
Because it’s more interesting to talk about than American politics and Linux?
In all the languages that have the letter æ , exactly none of them use it for that colour.
You were late by crow time.
I’ve only ever seen one in movies.
I dunno. The test results were a little shaky.
