Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, and I hated it.
It takes a very cool premise, then fills it with incongruences and predictable twists that you understand chapters ahead of the protagonist. Then it all ends up being (SPOILERS AHEAD) a “humans used to literally talk to nature, modern society bad” mumbojumbo with some kind of unexplained multiverse in it.
What’s the best thing that can happen to a singer?
Having a name that sounds good
Thanks for the suggestion!
Since you look much more knowledgeable than me, could you help me understand how to navigate the overwhelming amount of different versions for every piece of music? For now I’m completely ignoring who’s playing and conducting and sometimes I timidly try to listen to another version, usually just to come back to the comfort of the first version I listened
I recently started listening to classical and boy does it require a completely different listening approach! I’m listening almost exclusively to Mahler’s No.5 since my attention fades away after the first movement and I need lots of listening to know what’s actually going on
I’m using Top 6 Hours since I’m trying to not use my phone that much, and when it gets boring I switch to Hot or New.
Sorting by New is particularly refreshing since the communitoes are smaller and it doesn’t feel as a depressing ocean of posts no one will interact with.
My spanish ain’t that good but I agree with what you said. I just don’t get why answer in spanish to a question written in english?
Let me tell you, if your interests keep changing and you’re easily bored, you’ll get bored of every new hobby you find. Thing is, boredom is inevitable even when we do things that are pleasurable, so you might as well find something you actually like and “elevate” yourself in some way (be it physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, you name it).
I’m a psychology student and I love what I study. Is is fun? No. Do I get bored often? Hell yeah. But god I love doing it, because at the end of the day I feel enriched and with a new perspective on the world. Every single time I decide to persevere through difficult or boring material instead of booting up a game or watching YouTube I feel so much more myself.
And mind you, I’m terrible at this. I struggle so much to keep myself from getting into the hyperstimulation rabbit-hole, and I often spend whole afternoons jumping from one thing to the other (not necessarly games/social media, often I keep jumping between books and articles and projects every 10 minutes without ever finishing anything), but it’s a process.
That said, I would suggest someting like music production. You can get as wild as you want with technicalities but it’s also creative. I recently discovered Pure Data and it scratched that itch of both doing something creative and learning something technical.
Whatever you choose, embrace the boredom! It’s part of everyone, it’s part of life. The hardest thing is getting started (e.g. I stayed up late to work on a new hobby and the next day I have no desire to get back to it, but as soon as I start doing it again for as long as ten minutes I’m absorbed again), often you’ll fail but it’s not a race. You could also get back to an hobby you started a while back but approach it from a different perspective (for me Pure Data did it with music production and coding), so that you’re not overwhelmed but don’t have that feeling of “already seen” neither.
On a side note, mandatory “are you seeking professional help” question. If you’re not, start doing it. If you already are, good job! It can feel slow at times, maybe you keep talking about the same thing (or change topic everytime) and feel like you’re not making progress, but it will yield its result in the long run!
Good luck with everything man! I know you’ll get something out of this situation :)
As of now, 2 years would be enough. I would have enough money to get out of my parents house without them giving me money for a year so that I could study without working before I (hopefully) get my scholarship next year.
Motorola Moto G8 Power Lite. It was €130, good battery, no bloatware, does all the things I need from a smartphone even if the touchscreen is starting to freak out from time to time. Probably need to change the display but I’m broke atm
Sounds good! I’m going to listen it on the way to work tomorrow morning!
No man please blame me, I gotta stop this vicious cycle of not being able to enjoy things I’m curious about
Jesus fucking Christ, I’m Italian and when I was in Korea we tried a couple of pizzas (it’s always fun to see how foreign countries make it) and they were all so damn sweet. Turns out they put sweet potatoes everywhere.
Potatoes and octopus doesn’t sound bad tho! I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it but I sure would try it (if they’re well clocked that is)
That isn’t that unusual in Italy, but usually we use boiled eggs!
Always wanted to get into classical music for this very reason but it’s hard to find an entry point. My dopamine seeking brain doesn’t help either
Depends on the context, like what world it is and where the room is located, and so on.
I suppose it’s in a building that people have access to except for that one room, and that it’s a world where, while not particularly sophisticated, explosives exist, so it should at least have very strong walls. If magic exists you might want to avoid using it for this purpose as it often becomes a “because” kind of explaination, but you can use it as a tool (e.g. an obstacle that can only be overcome with powerful magic, and the magicians who are capable of such power can be counted on one hand).
If magic is a no-go, maybe it simply requires a specific kind of key to open (but maybe it’s too high tech for your world?)
Find interesting stuff -> not now -> leave tab open for later -> notice it hours/days/weeks later -> not now -> repeat untill closed without reading
It’s an old (early-internet?) joke iirc. And yes, I think that’s the answer
