Hey it's been a while. Hope you're doing well :)

Ohh I thought they just instantly kicked him out cuz of those lol and yeah I get you, has happened with a few of my fave bands as well x.x

Yep I've noticed as of late YouTube has been throwing some weird recs, vids with like around or below a 100 views and not just music sometimes it's just some random stuff. It's given me a couple obscure gems though

Did you end up making a last.fm?
DropOfLove Mar 10, 2024 10:02 PM
Beta...
I bring bad news, if you're ever coming back.
We lost Wendy chan :(
She deleted her account.
DropOfLove Feb 23, 2024 7:44 PM
Beta!!!
I don't see you on the forums as long,
But I hope you're doing okay!!
Please be safe out there \o/

Well, now I know I... don't have to make people guess around the word "Lyre" T.T
But it's fine!! I've been in your shoes! I've had mal users slander behind my back in the past, but it eventually stopped.
Lost momentarily some friends, but they came back once they realised they were in the wrong.
Just know I've got no idea who that person that doesn't like you is,
nor am I just a person that fully believes in rumors!

Beta said:
like, a lyric that is literally "fuck bitches get money" is not terrible to me.

I understand where you're coming but personally, I dislike those type of songs. Me and my friends listen to major contemporary musical artist's whole albums from time to time and I swear... there's just... so much... trap and rap... about being rich, getting bitches and flexing money. Sometimes it gets as heavy as feeling like it's Groundhog Day, going through some album and all the songs are just a slight variation on the same theme. @.@

Beta said:
while they are very obviously based in the same thing, they are in the end two different... products?

This is pretty true in poetry as well.
Would you really say that The Canterbury Tales and Divine Comedy are comparable to John Milton's sonnets?
What about to The Waste Land and The Hollow Men by TS. Elliot? (I'm going with more English examples hoping maybe you recall them from your student's years)
Poetry is quite the vast and abstract, and quite pesky to pin down into one thing.
Music can exist on its own, and so can poetry,
but they're often combined together.
Don't you have any songs you like better because of its lyrical content?
Plus... even thinking about it, Rap music's main source of musicality tends to be the lyrics, not even the singing.
DropOfLove Feb 7, 2024 5:54 PM
I'm not saying you're a liar!!!
I'm just suggesting you should reconsider what's poetry!
(if I haven't made myself clear yet)
DropOfLove Feb 7, 2024 5:50 PM
OH MY GOD I WAS JUST HIT WITH A TRUCK.
I ACTUALLY GOT MYSELF BLOCKED FOR THIS TWO YEARS AGO...
THE SAME POINT- T.T

Okay okay, lemme put it in a better light:
I know you engage with song lyrics. You've mentioned you dislike songs that have "terrible lyrical content".
So I just wanted to point out that we tend to have a very high and mighty vision of what poetry is like,
but in reality song lyrics are poetry. Greek poetry was accompanied by an instrument called a Lyre.
The word lyrics come from the word "lyre". Even after the lyre was abandoned and all poetry was relegated to words only,
musicality of poems was still an important aspect, especially rhythm and rhyme.
For all intents and purpose, lyrics are poetry. Poetry branches off in different styles and types, but lyrics are certainly one of them.
DropOfLove Feb 7, 2024 5:04 PM
while i enjoy dabbling in poetry, i personally never read it...

Are you sure? I think you engage with poetry
Way more than you realize. Here's a little interesting
fact about poetry... In Greek's times, it was often
recited with an instrument called "lyre". Does
the word remind you of something?

As for the more emotional point... Emotions are contrasting.
Difficult pesky things at time. I am certainly on the more on
the eccentric type, but being yourself won't always output
the better situation, yet it's what makes us happy, I suppose.

formatting text to fit into manga speech/thought/etc bubbles

That was really it! Longish texts, very thigh bubbles! Plus,
I myself often had the habit of sending lots of short discord messages.
At some point, after a week of fitting text into bubbles, I just started
cutting my texts even early than I should've. Fitting
text became second nature.

there are more important things to worry about than how someone types?

I think that's missing the point. We're social creatures,
and a great part of socializing is enjoying the personality
of the one you're with. Typing showcases part of your personality,
and if you don't like a person's way of expressing themselves,
you probably also don't like that person's company.

Well... I really like poetry...
And when I was younger, I
used to write tons of it!
Was my teacher's favourite.

And like... I really like poetry!
I think it's got an interesting
history! Especially with how
we used to tell stories with
Poetry! Imagine, just the most
popular form of fiction being
told in poetry...!

But uhmm. I don't like the high
and mighty tone it has nowadays.
Plus the story on "how" I got to
type like this... has nothing to
do with poetry... a bit silly
when people on mal would
say I was try-harding...
DropOfLove Feb 6, 2024 12:22 PM
Splendid!!
You did great!!!

So much work,
You almost put me
to shame!!!

I'm really no poet...
I always find it funny
when people compare
me to poetry...

But if I managed
to sprinkle a bit
of niceness, then
so be it! I'm satisfied.
DropOfLove Feb 6, 2024 11:38 AM
Hmm hmm!
It seems this one
Not feeling as up today!

Just passing by,
Wishing for a star
To make it pass
Away.

your bravery in the face of the cyber police will be the stuff of legends in the normal times of 2026, my friend. your sacrifice will not be in vain; i'll guard your extremely cool sunglasses as if they were my own quantum computing core. stay tuned for updates, and remember, in the eyes of the non-denominational scientifically proven god, we're doing the sacred work of preserving the future... and this time i mean future future not our normal times which is the future now which is the past times for us. keep your neural interface tuned to this frequency for my next communication.

may the quantum winds be ever in your favor, and may your sunglasses remain ever cool and awesome...

sciencespeed my friend, sciencespeed....
