What's your favorite song on Radiohead's 2007 masterpiece 'In Rainbows'?
I’d also love to hear stories about how it moved you on your first or 100th time listening to it.
How Would You Handle Students Cheating?
I gave my students a take home exam over spring break. (This is normal where I teach) One of the questions was particulary difficult. It came down to a factor of three in the solution. That factor inexplicably appeared with no justification on many of their exams. I intend to have the students I suspect of cheating come to my...
Would having a cat girl as a family pet mess my kids up?
So one of my kids is highly allergic to cats, but really wants a pet cat. I thought a good solution would be to get a cat girl. My wife is not totally thrilled by the idea, but I’m sure I could convince her. What are your thoughts?...
Why is there a pronounced (stereotypical) dichotomy between listening music and gaming music?
Not talking about less than macro scales so don’t get pedantic about some exception. The early days were limited by silicon tech and memory storage, but those don’t exist any more. So why is it that game music and pop cultural music have not seemingly cross pollinated? Micro genres? Other?

Would you rather live in a big city or a small town?

Anyone using MyStudyLife?
I’m enrolling an university this year and looking for cross-platform time schedular software. I searched for this and found these...
How do we package food products sustainably in coming decades?
I imagine all plastics will be out of the question. I’m wondering about what ways food packaging might become regulated to upcycling in the domestic or even commercial space. Assuming energy remains a $ scarce $ commodity I don’t imagine recycling glass will be super practical as a replacement. Do we move to more unpackaged...
How do you manage your headphone cables?
I recently switched from wireless to wired headphones (Samson SR-850, probably the best for the very reasonable price) and my chair’s wheels instantly started eating its cable. Right now I’m using a small plastic hook that came with a face mask to keep it off the floor, but I’d like to hear other solutions.
What's something small you achieved recently that you're proud of?
Where do you find audiobooks?
I tried a couple of times to find certain audiobooks, but seldomly had luck. There just does not seem to be a place that sells digital versions of audiobooks, similar to how bandcamp sells music....
can anyone tell me the justification for putting Samuel Bankman-fried in prison for 25 years but Trump gets a fine? Is it federal vs. state?
Pretty much what the title says. I know he’s a former president and has all of his supporters, but what’s the official reason? Thanks.

Give me your best Linux memes
What is the most beautiful song you've ever heard?
What are your favorite social minority characters in any form of fictional entertainment media, or how should a minority be written better?
It can be from any angle. Presently, I’m pondering what kind of context various LGBTQ+ characters can be written without making any kind of political statement, or rather, simply making a statement through normalization in a natural way. In other words, how do I empathize like the cool kids clique?...
Clients that hide downvotes?
I’m searching around for a lemmy client to that has the option to hide downvotes altogether....

What gives away that your new workplace is cliquey?
Where do you go when you want to talk or share?
I had an extraordinary experience today, but it didn’t relate to a hobby or career or political topic. I tried to find an appropriate community but I guess I don’t have the right terms. Where can one turn to share triumphs, defeats, and sacred moments?
