my selfish robot has recurrent self-involvement (rsi) tendencies

[manar @mbyio]

@shauseth it’s recursive alright

[manar @mbyio]

the singularity feels extra singular today.

@gdelujo one Bach exception tho. which is this absolute banger:

[manar @mbyio]

@gdelujo agreed bach is beyond meh for me as well.

imo Russians and Italians do it best.

Prokofiev, Rachmaninov, Shostakovich, Arnsky, Khachaturian, ect.

Respighi, Corelli, Frescobaldi, Rossini, Verdi, Luzzaschi, ect.

[manar @mbyio]

@gdelujo tho controversially, Haydn is meh for me. but still good.

[manar @mbyio]

@gdelujo you get me, fundamentally.

[manar @mbyio]

everything is a mere optimization game

[manar @mbyio]

every time i see the number 101, my brain sees IOI (Innovative Online Industries) the fictitious worldwide telecommunications conglomerate, in Ready Player One, a book i read more than 9 years ago.

crazy how random stuff sticks.

four points make a tetrahedron, the first solid. Earth, air, fire, water; north, south, east, west; the four seasons. Everything stable comes in fours, 4 walls in a house - structure, discipline, patience, and work — the square, the foundation stone, the table with four legs. The four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Like and John. To the Chinese it is death; their buildings skip the fourth floor. A perfect secret key right?

[manar @mbyio]

@tszzl one key to rule them all,
one key to find them,
one key to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Obsessed with this guy who finds the most boring average looking men in Boston and then street harasses them (“who let this DADDY outside?!”), and they absolutely LOVE IT and are beaming from the attention. Much to consider here

the Banger Factory invited me for a meeting and insisted i stop ‘dropping’ them cause it’s starting to hurt their heads.

[manar @mbyio]

woe isn’t me

[manar @mbyio]

@notesbyfloat linguistic pain agony and despair

[manar @mbyio]

i personally feel like such a colossal mega dork when i use the correct plural version of certain words where the plural ends with i.

‘cacti’

‘octopi’

ahhh

[manar @mbyio]

wait. im such a hater, i don’t even follow bro.

just followed him tho ❤️

[manar @mbyio]

i have to have been responsible for at least 1/3 of this increase.

go listen to my 17th century Dutch/German organist and composer boy Reincken everyone 🔥

[manar @mbyio]

Johann Adam Reincken is absolutely incredible. highly recommend. only 878 listeners on spotify which i cant fathom.

especially: hortus musicus “sonata prima” in a minor: sonata

you’ll thank me a bunch.
