There's this girl at the gym with a fantastic body and a cute face I am absolutely down bad for. I'm 22 she's prob 19 or 20. Always by herself and pretty introverted. I approached her a couple days ago asking if she wanted to use the machine I'd just finished using since she was doing the same exercise but with dumbbells, she said she was fine so I went on my way. Probably an indicator she's not interested but I can't help wanting to give it another shot. Thing is I have no experience striking up a conversation with girls at the gym, with guys it's fine since we can all compliment each other's physique without sounding weird and go on from there. Give me some advice or tell me to forget about her

Recently watched 'Y Tu Mama También' and 'Paris, Texas'. I really enjoyed the road trip aspect of these two and am looking for something similar. Particularly, the silent aspect of 'Paris, Texas' and the beautiful wide shots captivated me.

I've also been meaning to watch a story that takes place in the countryside or in the coast, anything away from urban life really.

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

I've heard it many times throughout their discography, but also in other music from the '00s onwards. It is quite prominent in Rough Song, starting at precisely 12 seconds into the track. It sounds like a keyboard but I'd like to know if there's a name to that specific sound profile.

"They don't owe you anything" I don't give a shit. Worst part is you wait four years for a new album and it sounds exactly like the last one. Musicians in the 60s were putting out records yearly. Fiona Apple gets a pass though.

I've watched the show multiple times, and I always wanted to know how the story ends. I constantly browse this sub and the wiki spoiling myself the events of the three last books because I'm just completely and genuinely fascinated with how the story develops. However, I can't justify the commitment of reading nine dense works of fiction. Admittedly that's hypocritical in my part since my television rewatches have probably amounted to the amount of time it'd take to read the complete series, but I just can't bring myself to finish Leviathan Wakes.

Every once in a while I'll spend hours trying to figure out what Sol, Laconia, the Goths, the main crew, etc. were up to through internet hearsay. It's weird I know, but to me it's like reading real world history, I guess the relative realism of it all is what captivates me so much. And despite reading a bunch of spoilers I can't make much sense of most things (the wiki is a little lacking/outdated), for example I still don't understand what the Goths did to that one star system. I'm considering jumping straight to book 7, aware of the many differences between the adaptation and the source material, but I'm hoping I can finally scratch that itch of mine.

Besides the fact that it released on 9/11, I believe Summer Days is a great metaphor for the ending of Pax Americana and further developments of the Bush administration. If you dissect the lyrics you'll find much of it relates to themes of nostalgia ("worn out star", summer days = good times) and vindictiveness ("my dogs are barking, there must be someone around") but in some ways it also foreshadows the occupation of Iraq ("suckin’ the blood out of the genius of generosity" i.e. American desire for payback) and even Katrina and the 2008 financial crisis ("gonna break in the roof—set fire to the place as a parting gift")

I'm looking for a version of this song I found on this sub a couple months ago. It was a live performance, right as the song starts someone in the audience shouts "I love this song".

Of the songbook trilogy this has to be my favorite album. Just a great easy listening for the evening. The band pulls off some pretty catchy tunes and the instrumentals are much more alive compared to the two preceding records. Bob does a pretty good work with the vocals as well. Many artists have done modern covers of the standards but Dylan did it best with Triplicate. His Stormy Weather is my favorite along with Joni Mitchell's version. Given the sheer volume of this album you have to wonder if there are any outtakes left from that era.

About a year ago I met a girl here who saw a genie. If you're still around dm me.

Drummer in response to Inaros reminiscing the good old days, I find it thought-provoking. What do you think her upbringing was like before meeting Dawes?

I remember watching on YouTube what seemed to be a production team watch party that featured a couple of gag reels from season 1, but that was it.

Such an incredible rearrangement of his songs, in fact I got into the electric era thanks to it. Shadow Kingdom and Nashville Skyline were my gateway drug to Dylan. The instrumentals and faux live production are what fascinate me the most, if you told me Lanois came back for this one I'd have believed you. I drank and cried to this album the night I found out my dad had cancer, and the weeks following his passing. Because of that I strongly associate it to some kind of intermediate realm between life and whatever comes next. They say your final moments consist of a rewind of your life from conception to death, this album resembles that in a way. Shadow Kingdom ranks highly among my Dylan favorites, but mostly because of a personal connection to it from a somber period of my life.

Grief was pretty alien to me up until a couple of months ago. It changes you in strange auspicious ways but I can't help dwelling upon certain existentialist thoughts. Just recently I was chatting with my grandma and she talked about her late father with so much sorrow, I found it both heartbreaking and fascinating. Whenever I see an old person I think about their parents, if they miss them, if they remember their voice, their mannerisms. Parental love is to me the greatest outcome of human connection and I am forever grateful to have received it.

I went to visit my elderly neighbor from my childhood home whose wife is terminally ill. They've been together for the greater half of a century. I had a lump in my throat all throughout and didn't speak much, just listened to what he had to say. I often notice these old folks are pretty accepting about becoming widowers. I don't really know why, yet.

Like most people in their early 20s who spend a little too much time online I sometimes stare into the ceiling and ask myself if this is all there is. Someone once told me the thing that catches you off-guard the most in your 20s is seeing the people who took care of you get old.

Time only moves forward yet I mull over my many regrets delusionally hoping I can get a magical do over. Curiosity in particular is a driving force of mine, how the world will look when I'm on my way out, who stuck around and who didn't, that kind of thing. I'm aware that giving up is not an option and I'm trying to learn to live life to the fullest, but I hope over time the brain develops a more positive outlook on life and the passage of time.

You're so far away from home
