Gods, I hate those. I won’t watch anything that does it

Really?

Poweramp

The way it handles its own audio engine is pretty much the best available.

Dyslexia!

Yeah, obviously, or the title wouldn’t even have happened.

And it’s been that way for a while now. Back when windows 10 happened, I was able to install mint, get most of my preferred programs set up, and handle data transfer with zero CLI use. Which was awesome, because my dyslexic ass would have taken forever otherwise. It wasn’t until I started putzing around for pop and giggles that I even opened a terminal.

My mom w as able to jump right in after installation of mint, and go through the gui to try things out, no issues.

It isn’t actually harder. At all. People just think it is because them funny / signs is different from regular math. So they get put off by it even if they’re actually good at it because they’ve built the idea of hating fractions even though it’s a very intuitive thing.

You take a string, fold it in half, you’ve got a fraction in front of you. The rest follows from that basic principle. But when you put it on paper, the only thing that isn’t obvious is dividing fractions. Even then, you could figure it out on your own with a bit of thought.

Unfortunately, you jam a bunch of kids in a room and make them do boring things, often being taught by someone that isn’t actually good at math, and may have no desire to teach math in the first place, and you get droves of kids that hate math. Someone that likes math, and has spent time playing with it, they’ll have a way of translating it into different terms. Instead, you go by the book regardless of if the book works for kids of a given age.

Fractions are just as easy as decimal. You can’t imagine how many kids struggle with division in decimals, or even just keeping the number line in mind when dealing with them.

The one belt benefit decimal has over fractions is the ability to write things out by line and do most problems (other than division) in a simple box. That goes away once you’re dividing though. Dividing fractions is easier for some.

Also, fractions are easier to estimate with. You can almost always guesstimate what half of a thing will be, so you can almost always keep going until the fraction is too small visually to detect. Eyeballing a tenth of something is not as easy for most people.

Besides, it’s good for your brain. It’s like a muscle in that regard. If you don’t use it, it gets flabby. Flabby brains lead to shitty thinking.

It’s why my favorite way to troll the usual “why isn’t everyone on metric” goombahs is to tell them they’re just too lazy and/or dumb to do math with fractions.

No vampires.

Creepy? That’s a matter of perception.

Good? Again, that’s a personal thing.

As erotica, they’re kinda too over the top for most people. The whole thing is extreme bdsm. Extreme as in doing things that would be very dangerous or at least risky in real life. But it is fantasy, so as long as you go into them with that in mind, it’s not really any more extreme than some porn that’s out there.

What I can say for sure is that her style of writing lends itself well to erotica in general, even if some of the specifics of her attempts in that general heading fall short of being actually arousing. In other words, it’s very readable, if you like the way she writes at all.

By that I mean her style, not necessarily her plots or dialogue. Like, her vampire books jumped jumped the shark decades ago, but the style of them is consistent even when a given book is not a good read. I personally like her rather distinct southern gothic vibe in her word choices, pacing, and description of scenes. Her writing drawls like a lady in her garden during a sultry late summer evening, offering iced tea to a guest.

Even when she’s writing action, there’s a sense of langour to it all.

And that zoomed applies to the beauty books as well as her “exit to eden” stand alone quasi erotic novel. I think e2e is more erotic in how it handles bdsm themes and scenes, but it’s also not a fantasy/fairy tale story. There’s a scene in e2e where one character is using butter and cinnamon in an erotic manner, and it actually works as erotica. The way she writes that scene is languid and dripping.

My overall take? The beauty books are worth a read even if only as an experience more than a read for pleasure. It’s a very interesting thing beyond its value as an erotic piece.

Only reason I’d say no is that it looks like shit sauce and shit crust. I’d still try it, but it wouldn’t be a good pizza in the first place, so I wouldn’t consider it to be a definitive example of what kiwi on pizza would be.

Ngl, my dick just got hard

Thanks :)

Seems like it might be at least a partial answer to my preferences

Does it use embedded lyrics or insist on using the internet?

Secondarily, does it offer any of the more useful tagging controls and library management features?

I keep looking for a Linux native player that can get close to musicbee. Haven’t found one yet, they all lack major features like batch file renaming and organization.

Funny, my wife’s name is piñata

Man, fuck off with this shit. Make memes, not fucktardery like this.

Are they ever going to respect embedded lyrics?

Only in the house when it isn’t for long

Nah, this is living right.

Dude is wearing comfortable shoes that have one functional flaw: they’re rubber and they chafe.

Socks= foot bliss in crocs, assuming the right size.

The tracker is a sign that someone fucked up, yeah. But it means they didn’t fuck up so bad that they need to be away from the rest of us. Everybody fucks up, we just don’t all get caught.

LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOOOOOOOOORRRRRR!!!

I dunno, if you strip naked, run out into the rain, and masturbate furiously enough, you might get lucky

Or arrested.
