M137

The tram I was on with my dad and little sister struck a woman, she had an umbrella open so she didn’t see the tram (it was a sunny summer day). It cracked her head open and I’ll never forget that sound. The driver panicked and only opened the front door of the tram, right where the woman was laying on the ground, so we were forced to walk out of the tram and jump over the pool of blood gushing from her head. My dad tried to make us not look but I saw the hole in her head, and her brain. I was 10 and my sister 8.
She died on the way to the hospital.
And I just realised I now live in the apartment building right by the tram tracks where it happened, haven’t thought about that memory for a long time.

M is the first letter in my real name and 137 is my favorite/lucky number. I made my avatar about a decade ago, inspired by synthwave music and style (specifically after seeing waveshaper play live).

This thread showed up like it was meant for me in this very moment as I’m currently laying in my sofa and blasting this on high volume and drowning in the vibe:

Afro Celt Sound System - Volume 2: Release (Real World Gold)

Haven’t heard anything truly like it so I think it fits the thread.

This album has been with me since my childhood.
My mom used to house sit this crazy special house during the summers around 1998-2005 that belongs to a clay sculpture artist, my mom discovered this band there and loved this album especially.
It was mostly my mom, me (born 1990) and my little sister (born 1992) in the middle of the woods all summer break in this absolutely dream like house, it’s something out of a movie really.
A lot of the house was built by the artist dude, with tons of handmade clay sculptures, mosaics, wooden details of animals and twisted tree logs built into the structure. The sides of the road through the woods to the house was filled with totem poles, human-ish figures and other sculptures.
We just enjoyed the woods and the house, made clay art and nice food, went bathing in the river and took care of the garden.
There are so many deeply connected smells, sounds, sights and feelings in me to that house, it really affected me in a great way.
I so wish I could post photos of it but I have no contact with the owner and don’t want to do it without his permission.

Ah, the 'Murican stereotype of ignoring the fact that a person might not be American. You just default to believing everyone online is in the US and it never stops being both hilarious and infuriating. You’re doing a great job at proving Americans are dumb as fuck.

I’ve had that issue in several ways. Of course what you said, had an extension cord with a switch below my desk and I kept accidentally hitting that switch in the same way, lived in an apartment some years ago that had some shitty electrical work done by the previous tenant and if I had enough lamps on while my computer and screen where on and I tried to plug in my phone or turn the TV on the circuit popped, and most recently I’ve been playing games via cloud streaming (Shadow) and my Ethernet cable has lost the security tab thingy on both ends and I keep accidentally moving other cables so they touch the Ethernet cable and it falls out. Most of the time I can just put it back in an reconnect to the cloud computer but sometimes it just refuses to do that so the cloud computer shuts down before I’m able to get it working. Lost several hours of progress in various games throughout the past couple of years, but I never buy anything new unless it’s absolutely needed so I just live with and accept it '^^

User: Add enough detergent for this weight of clothes.

Washing machine AI: OK, I have added the correct amount for you, ready to start the wash.

User: You only added fabric softener, I need you to add detergent. Please weigh the clothes and add the detergent based on that weight.

Washing machine AI: Ah, I see what you mean. I have now weighed the clothes and added the needed amount of detergent.

User: you just added more fabric softener. Do not add any more of that, I only need detergent. Please, add detergent.

Washing machine AI: I’m sorry, I misunderstood you before. I have now made sure to add detergent.

User: you added more fabric softener…

This is what happens in your brain when you tell yourself to remember something.

I live in a small apartment, and when standing in the middle of the kitchen you can see almost all of if. So when I have new people over I like to ask if they want a tour then point to that spot and tell them to go there, then I say “ok, look around, that’s everything! Nice, huh?” There are generally only two different reactions: “Haha! Yeah, it is nice!” or “Oh, come on, it’s not that bad!”. I never say it in a way that makes it sound like I think it’s bad or too small, but people who have the second reaction generally like bigger and “more”.

It’s the perfect size for me, wouldn’t choose a bigger one even for the same price.

4000 bookmarks is nothing, neither is 12gb. I seriously don’t understand how anyone could think even jokingly saying that’s “the whole internet”.

Now do American mass shooting rate and Linux market share.

*What do you call this

Not in Swedish.

Kort = Short Lång = Long

Dude(ette), I have nothing to do with this self hosting thing and even I knew years ago plex was shit. It’s been extremely obvious just from browsing reddit (before leaving) and lemmy. I don’t know anything about any of this other than plex having an extremely bad reputation. How did you manage to become part of this and still chose to use it?

Bly in Swedish. But we add some weirdness to the Bly part so a “lead pencil” is blyertspenna (“penna” meaning pencil). I can’t think of another word where that specific addiction is used, and I have no idea what it means.
