Excuse my ignorance, but what is this?

Speaking of, I actually discovered that Jaz Coleman for some reason is living in Argentina now, and he arranges events eberry 6 months I think.
Got to see him again many years after seeing live, that was cool

>>16488
As talented as he is, I don't think I'd want to see him without Geordie Walker or the other guys. I'm usually the type of person that has problems picking favorites, but Killing Joke for me was without a doubt my favorite rock band. All the members during their heyday really brought something to the table, and even their later material that doesn't appeal to me as much is still good (although I woodn't say the same for Outside the Gate).  With their interest in occult practices, it almost woodn't surprise me if that had a hand in making them as great as they were. Have you watched The Death and Resurrection Show?

That reminds me, I should probably listen to Brighter Than a Thousand Suns again too. I always associate that album with this time of year. I remember listening to it on the school bus in high school and looking out on the frozen scenery. I've heard it a bunch of times already, but it feels almost like a tradition to me.

>>16489
>Have you watched The Death and Resurrection Show?
Besides the meet and greet, one of the selling points of the event was watching that documentary. It was good because I was able to exchange a lot of ideas with some folks about certain ethos and beliefs that were a bit beyond surface value type of discussion. Berry neat.

Are you into other bands with a similar sound? The Damned? Smiths?

>>16581
>Are you into other bands with a similar sound? 
Killing Joke is a bretty unique band, but I do like genres like post-punk, New Wave, and gothic rock. I started listening to the a lot of the usual stuff like Joy Division, Fields of the Nephilim, Cocteau Twins, The Sisters of Mercy.
>The Damned?
Yeah, I actually discovered Strawberries due to how much "Life Goes On" sounds like "Eighties."
>Smiths?
There are some songs of theirs I like, like "The Queen is Dead," but their style doesn't really jibe with me. I guess I prefer a more atmospheric or "wet" sound compared to their more stripped-down style.

Looking at the PlayPlaces now they don't look that impressive, but I really liked exploring the tubes as a kid. I'm not surprised they shut them down though. They must have been a nightmare to keep clean considering how grubby and unhygienic kids can be. I think I might have seen an old employee in one cleaning it out once and yelling at some kids for horsing around, although at the time I thought it was someone's grandma.

Agreed. Where I live the street lights have been slowly phased with the bright white ones for the past couple years. Sometimes when I walk at night I'll see another incandescent bulb has been replaced. Only a few remain now. I've taken pictures to remember what the area looked like when they still had them.

These are all screenshots from War Thunder. I've been playing for 10 years and started when I was 15. Life was so different back then, but I feel like my love for the game has never waned. I don't play as often as I used to, but I still get a kick out of it and try to capture moody screenshots, or screenshots that tell a story. I played my first WWII flight simulator when was 4 years old, so games like this are berry special to me

I'd like to hear his opinion.

>>16153

Modern Hebrew right now, i am toying with the idea of Russian after that.

I remember reading someone here say “I'm full of piss and vinegar” (I'm full of energy and enthusiasm) and wondering what that could possibly mean.
I recently wondered if it was an English expression and found it amusing that some idioms are untranslatable and that it is impossible to understand their meaning without knowing the specific language and culture.
Since then, I've been having fun saying it by translating it literally into my language, even though it doesn't make any sense here and people wood wonder "what the hell he's talking about" or think "dude is full of piss? Gross!" xD

>>16474
Lol. Pretty sure that originates with us Hillbillies. Yeah, I think you got the definition about right. It also implies self-confidence, as when facing a conflict. Think William Wallace & his smol private band about to trounce the English in the film Braveheart.

Good one, hadn't heard that phrase in years Anon.  :D

>>16476
>Bretty sure that originates with us Hillbillies.
It does have that kind of sound to it. I can imagine the Ulster Scots/borderers having a hand in it. It reminds me of the type of things they've contributed to the English language, like calling kids "little cacas."

>>16478
Heh, true.

>>15896
ahem aren't orange carrots THE standard carrots? i think i ate the purple carrot sometime, but i don't remember if it tasted fine or not

>>15897
Ahem, ahem, I was remarking I grew a variety of carrots last year, ahem.  Orange is the typical (most marketable) coloring but there is a great variety in shape, size, and flavor among orange carrots.  Solid purple carrots typically have a stronger flavor.  Some purple carrots are only purple on the outside with pale yellowish or orange interiors and those have been a bit bland but still bitter in my experience.

One of my long time friends introduced me half-assedly to Planetside 2. He was just quacking around with his friend but I decided to take the game more seriously. I tried to learn about how to actually play the game and not teamkill each other in tanks.
I got into a big clan but it was bretty much cacae. One of the berry large and always open clans. No communication, no cooperation, just some guys placing markers on a map and hoping the randoms actually go there. The game started to frustrate me because of how ineffective I was alone.
Then I found an open squad with people who just by how they communicated sounded like they have a modicum of knowing what they were doing. Actual quacking coordination. Then they advertised themselves at the end of the day and I decided to join their discord.

I had a blast. I played religiously with them for almost a year during covid. I felt like I never met so many people I wanted to be around with for so long. The leader went on a power trip though, since the rest of the group stopped playing the game. Some shifted to other titles. The leader decided to make a rule so that the discord server is only for playing Star Citizen, a game most of us weren't interested.
Some other guy just made a discord of his own so we could play anything else. The leader got mad at some point and kicked 90% of the original clan members.
We still chill out with eac

Yeah I think so. I kind of left an area where the uri could go and basically wanted to leave it up to the rest of you how to include it.

A couple of weeks ago I had a dream where I found a bug in a code I wrote years ago. When I woke up I immediately went to check it, and the bug was indeed there.

I used to record my dreams and analyze them myself, but I started on medication not too long ago which seems to make them all nightmares. So I try my best to forget them these days.

The last one I remember was me in a room with my father. He was training me to throw better, but I wasn't sure why. He kept on getting me to drill this one particular motion, where I was to throw an object out of a window in my old house I lived at as a kid and let it get lost in the bushes. Later the police arrived and he gave me the object to throw as they entered my house. In that moment I realize he wanted me to hide evidence, probably drugs. I felt disappointed in him, and as if I had never really known him at all.

This is a weird one considering that I don't get on with my father, and he is maybe the person most opposed to drug use in my life. Not that I even do anything beyond weed myself, and that's only about twice a year.
