I hate having no eye for design

[(Anonymous)]

Trying to get more light in my room but I just don't know what looks good or where stuff should go.

Maybe give Dear Modern videos a watch? He gives interior home tips. I found his room lighting tips very useful!

Vent thread

Yes! Another!

Re: Vent thread

I posted in a book thread like a week ago that I was reading 'Cobalt Red.' As I've read it, something I haven't been able to stop thinking about is a podcast I listened to for a spell called Decolonizing Buffalo. It's run by a part-Comanche man who's pretty far-left and into, well, the project of decolonizing colonized peoples, obviously including his own. First got into it while researching the "Pretendian" phenomenon.

Anyway, over time, I started to get the impression that he was...kind of credulous? Like, if someone was critical of the US, he'd just believe whatever else they said. What finally made me quit the pod was when he had on a Chinese national who went on at length about how the Belt and Road initiative is fantastic for Africa.

Well, now I'm reading a book about the continued exploitation of the Congo, much of it at the hands of Chinese companies, and I keep thinking about this podcaster. It doesn't seem to have occurred to him that while yes, the US has propaganda, other countries do as well -- including China! He's all about decolonization, but he was swallowing hook, line, and sinker the words of someone who has every reason to back his country's modern-day version of colonialism and little incentive at all to tell the truth. Children are in debt bondage and are dying in mines, and he's out here thinking they've been enriched by a benevolent superpower.

I think the reason it bothers me so much is because it highlights how people want to believe there's an easy answer to the injustice in the world. They want to think that if they can identify the One True Bad Guy and then get rid of them, all of our problems will vanish. But the truth is that the ability to be the Bad Guy lies in almost all of us.

In other news, I am now not comfortable buying an EV, and don't know what to do about the device in my hands.

Some friends of a friend of mine had a baby, and they already have a slightly older kid. Apparently they keep asking the older kid if she loves the baby and coaching her to say yes. They also spend a lot of time telling the older kid to kiss and hug the baby. I think this is probably not a real good idea to force the kid to act affectionate but I kept my mouth shut. Am I wrong?

I had to take a half day today, which means I'm going to have to change vacation plans somewhat and only take a half day the day before thanksgiving. And hope I don't get sick again for the rest of the year. argh.

Also, my mom ordered these Keto drinks from Walmart. They were curdled. She doesn't think it is worth it to complain, but I'm annoyed and wish she'd let me go to the store and complain.

My dental insurance via Medicaid is total shit and many people across the USA have filed complaints about it. It doesn't cover anything beyond basic cleanings and x-rays. They deny a lot by saying it isn't medically necessary. I'm terrified of what will happen to my mouth in the future because I'll have to go out-of-network and pay big- and I'll never have that kind of cash. Fuck DentaQuest and fuck HealthFirst/Medicaid!

Re: Vent thread

My best friend’s ignoring me and I don’t know why. We used to meet up once a month just to get out of our houses and catch up, but it’s been three months and I haven’t seen her. She said she was too busy to meet up and I told her to just let me know when she’s not busy, but she never replied. I messaged her on her birthday and said I had her present, but she left me on read. I’m just feeling really sad ‘cause I don’t know what I did wrong.

When I spend all my time doing things that don't take me outside my comfort zone, it really let's me forget how bad my anxiety is

Re: Vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

One of my clients is curiously silent after getting invoice from me. We are on a good working terms with several projects in progress so it was unexpected.
Also frankly I am right now torn between needing money and really hating what I do. I would like to change my field but I don't know where to start and where to get fucking money for this.

I wish more people would be honest with themselves about clickbait/wankbait. To quote an AlunaGeorge song, "You know you like it, but it drives you insane." I think if more people acknowledged that they like this sort of stuff we could make headway in having more civil interactions (online or off).

Fic red thread

[(Anonymous)]

For anyone and their fic-reccing needs.

Re: Fic red thread

[(Anonymous)]

I finished both seasons of Good Omens last night, yes I'm late to the party but I kept putting s1 off because I suck at starting things, and now I have a hankering for fic. My problem is there's an absolute mountain of it and I have no idea where to start, so if anyone has any recs to help me find my way around I'd very much appreciate it.

I'm going to bed so I won't be able to reply, but thank you to anyone who can help me even a little. :)

Re: Fic red thread

[kaijinscendre]

Here are a couple fics I bookmarked recently.

A Long List of Happy Endings (Thorin/Bilbo) https://archiveofourown.org/works/34087543/chapters/84801094 This has some of the best world building I've seen. Though, I believe it has "uplifted" dwarf technology (I think I am using that term correctly).

Dream Child (Din Djarin centric) https://archiveofourown.org/works/28959012/chapters/71060928 Also some interesting world building but very AU.

A Second Chance at Family https://archiveofourown.org/works/13188048/chapters/30166377 (Brienne/Jaime, Brienne/Tormund, Brienne/Brienne/Tormund)

Good Star Wars AUs

[philstar22]

Looking for some good Star War AUS. Particularly prequel, OT, or in-between.

Stuck On the Puzzle, Iron Bull/Cullen

It's basically 200k words about kink discovery and negotiation and two dummies falling for each other. I don't really know anything about Dragon Age but I adore this stupidly long fic.

Anyone a Fan of Listening To Soundtracks?

[(Anonymous)]

Any favorite soundtracks for any shows/movies/games/etc?

Also, does anyone or has ever listened to a soundtrack without seeing the original source?
(Latter question inspired by me currently listening through a collection of cds that I had found from shows I haven't watched like Dawson's Creek and Queer as Folk).

Re: Anyone a Fan of Listening To Soundtracks?

[meadowphoenix]

I answered this a little on the other post: Moulin Rouge, Across the Universe (but that's just the Beatles idk if that counts even if i particularly like the arrangements), the bodyguard (once again...mostly just whitney houston lol), the first sex and the city soundtrack, and the great gatsby soundtrack.

Re: Anyone a Fan of Listening To Soundtracks?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. Faves include both the Trainspotting soundtracks, The Crow, Batman Forever, Valley Girl etc.
I do have a few soundtracks of movies I haven't seen (Mad Love, Amateur etc. Just bought them when thrifting because I liked some of the bands on them)

Re: Anyone a Fan of Listening To Soundtracks?

[kaijinscendre]

About 80% of what I listen to is OSTs. Here are some favorites.

Movies: Gladiator, It Follows, Under the Skin (didn't like the movie), Wind River, Prometheus, Mad Max Fury Road, Schindler's List, Pan's Labyrinth, The Fog.

Shows: Game of Thrones, Band of Brothers, Mandalorian, Chernobyl, Sherlock, Broadchurch.

Games: Bioshock, Little Nightmares, What Remains of Edith Finch, Braid, World of Goo, WoW: Wrath of the Lich King, The Last Of Us.

And yes, I listen to original soundtracks of things I've never consumed. Like the game Bastion or movie The Hours.

I don't really listen to soundtracks that are not original or instrumental.

Re: Anyone a Fan of Listening To Soundtracks?

[greghousesgf]

Hard Day's Night, Rocky Horror, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the blues show Martin Scorsese produced several years ago, Chicago, the original version of Hairspray, I could keep going and going.

Re: Anyone a Fan of Listening To Soundtracks?

Most of my CDs are soundtracks. I used to sleep to them. Contact was my favorite as a kid. Now I have mostly gaming soundtracks. The Assassin's Creed games have absolutely lovely soundtracks (I think one recently won an award). The Witcher 3 soundtrack is also really good.

For movies and tv, my favorites are Hannibal, both the movie and the tv show, Gladiator, the Bear McCreary Battlestar Galactica soundtrack, KinnPorsche (especially the acoustic versions), Pirates of the Caribbean, The Piano, Hidalgo, and The Fifth Element.

Taylor Swift fans disgust me. I mean waiting outside a wedding (even a celebrity wedding) just because she’s there is ridiculous. What do you think she’s gonna do? Give you a mini Eras tour and sign autographs? Not to mention overshadow the bride’s big day. If I was a celebrity she’d be off the list anywhere.
