Nerd Pride Radio

Phoebe

These phrases would not offend in themselves if normal people used them frequently,* but instead they populate the language of mindless dumkopfs who wish to have their own selfish way and control others while pretending to be reasoning things out together or generally appearing to be smarter than th...

Phoebe

It's not like the outcome is a surprise, but still, feelings about it are very low.

Phoebe

Similar feelings - Post Malone has some nice melodies and catchy songs but the lyrics and singing are just insufferable to me.

Phoebe

Marco Rubio made a bed he's having difficulty lying in now, poor thing. I feel... no sympathy at all.

Phoebe

Ah, I get it, so it's an investment club which then donates proceeds to charity, but the interesting part is considering the investments. Ok, sounds good.

Phoebe

Turned it on casually to see what was happening, and the lawyer was saying, this concludes our defense... I feel like I caught the best part. There's a moment in this Korean show I'm watching, Itaewon Class, where the primary villain of the show decides he will give people a pass on something instea...

Phoebe

I'll be happy to scour your comments for any useful investment advice you might have. However, why not a basic minimal-fee index fund, if the goal is primarily to make surplus for charitable donation? Nerd Pride Foundation, as it were. A few hundred bucks spinning the wheel of stock selection is pro...

Phoebe

Dear Mr. Kyle, Thank you for reaching out with your concerns about my concerns. I hope that by reaching out today I can help you to understand why nobody who says the words data driven is actually making a data informed decision at all, but is instead merely using the latest disruptive terms to make...

Phoebe

why do we need "futurecast" when we have "forecast?" This is because everything in the category is technically a futurecast, but the world is run by people who play golf and needed a special word to shout when they expected someone to be hit with a ball in the near future. I als...

At first that seems like it would be a difficult matchup because you have two decent singers doing a different style of pop songs, both of which get a bit repetitive across the whole album. But I would enjoy listening to Jessie Ware's album on various occasions, perhaps when I don't want something t...

Phoebe

Pretend dancing banana here.

Phoebe

It was, after all, the goal!

Phoebe

I love this! Glad that you posted it because I would probably not have tracked it down on my own. It's so unique and interesting and yet entirely fun to listen to!

I'm sure it is already clear I love Dua Lipa! Glad they are playing Levitating on the radio now, so I can hear it on the drive!

Phoebe

Very glad that you are vaccinated! Well worth it to wait a little longer for a healthy and happy and more covid-proofed DM!

Phoebe

Having watched a horrid show about the Medici, now watching a horrid show about the Borgia. I really do not "watch" so much as "this is on while I am doing other things, muttering under my breath about how I want my Korean show back on". I have hated both of these other shows. Ma...

Phoebe

The Polish stations have sucked for some reason. Not a fan of the European radio stations I have encountered so far - I might not be digging into the options enough after landing on a spot. Japan is full of fascinating radio. I am going up the east side of Africa starting from S Africa and would cal...

Phoebe

That is great! Wish the same were happening here. My parents finally got round 1 but have yet to hear about round 2. To increase your odds of getting vaccinated you have to register with multiple places, in hopes that the ones with your name and number will acquire vaccine and call you, because ther...

Phoebe

These people are so gross to me. Their values are, as far as I can tell, pretty much the opposite of mine.

Phoebe

And now that we found out Claudia Conway is going to be on American idol or whatever it is, the voice or something, I reflect with some cynicism on this previous comment. How sad that I have learned to be so cynical in evaluating abuse claims from public figures, and how sad that the cynicism occasi...

Shoveling snow is my fitness plan.

Phoebe

Good news: I'm seriously obsessed with that radio thing. A radio station in Ulaanbatar, Mongolia was playing old Dolly Parton songs. I am especially obsessed with the radio station in Asht, Tajikistan. They played many really really good songs, which Google was unable to identify except for one by a...

Phoebe

Sad and difficult video to watch this morning, yes. What a situation we are in.

Phoebe

I can't remember where this came up... I discovered that the inside of the Mypillow is shredded bits of what looks like standard egg crate foam. In short, there's a good reason why this pillow sucks. I did not wish to discover what was inside it. The insides of it are spread out and sort of ground i...

Phoebe

Ooh, nice running things - how's the leg and foot situation doing? Hopefully well! The gray traces of dawn are only just now tinging the eastern sky, men of Willowdale, so yes, good morning. Standing here in my comfy loungewear, I look to the east and behold the people parked in cars in the frigid s...

Phoebe

Okay seizing control of myself briefly to state all y'all should love old Steve Miller, who is not a jerk, is he? I think people in the music industry including the Black Keys said so because they are the jerks! They can stay mad at him and I will stay flying like an eagle.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH NO WORDS PACIFIC RIM STARTED IN PETROPAVLOVSK KEPT GOING AROUND

Yes yes, I like this album better, maybe because it's more introspective, and that song was a goodie. I don't know when they have been releasing the singles but the song I liked has been on the radio now! Just heard it for the first time there (I can't find it above but it was this one). Probably sh...

Aw man I hope Mack the knife gets in there, haha!!

Phoebe

Itaewon Class K-drama but NOT a romance/epic - y'all should watch. I'm only a few episodes and it's already been well worth it, regardless of how the whole thing turns out. Fundamental moral questions, disturbing questions. Scouring the meaning of the human. Update after more episodes: yes, it also ...

Phoebe

Is there another sex-related song that is less sexually inspiring than this one? The video itself doubtless helps others more than it could me, but like, Prince singing the alphabet would be more powerfully aphrodisiac.

Phoebe

That's exactly what I just said!!! And that's exactly how this conversation goes. Now it's your turn to say, no, pill-oh, PILL-oh, to which I will reply, I KNOW!!!!!!! That's what I said, PELLOW!

Phoebe

Wait you guys, don't mess with me. There's only one way to pronounce Kyle, exactly like it's spelled, two syllables, Ky-le.
"For me the baby he." This is actually what my phone said when I tried to start the next sentence with Phoebe.

Phoebe

This is good. I might be okay by next week. Things are kind of okay here but also not really.

Phoebe

I don't know, your rankings make sense to me. Silence is sometimes a 10 out of 10 depending on the moment. Sometimes a zero. I have been listening to other people playing music so I don't have any music in my thoughts today. Maybe a bit of Jin/BTS Epiphany because it prevents me from feeling low. Li...

Phoebe

As a side sleeper I will investigate this matter. I have a pillow I really like made by a company called Sleep innovations. I can't remember where I got it somewhere on sale, but I'm pretty sure it's memory foam. I don't mind the heat of the memory foam so much, but a shredded one does sound really ...

Phoebe

I have been reading Colette for the first time in my life - I saved it until now - and it has completely confused the dream landscape. Though Colette was very anti-feminist in her own day, she might be pro-woke-sex-positive-intersectional-feminism today, and either way she is a very pro-woman writer...

Phoebe

Tragic cultural problems: We used to have songs like Morning Train and Let's Hear it for the Boy and others that celebrated the man going off and working and how much the woman in this hetero pairing appreciated it. I always appreciated such songs and find them charming. We also had women appreciati...

Phoebe

I am invisible to police, apparently. The my pillow mention in the other thread brought up a serious question for this thread: How much does proper pronunciation matter? For example, suppose one person pronounces a word "pillow" like the vitamin pill you take at breakfast, and another pron...

Phoebe

I have one of those pillows - not sure where it came from. It's a terrible pillow and as such was long ago (before our newfound familiarity with the personal beliefs of the guy) banished to the laundry room, where it sat waiting for people to decide what its fate should be. The trash? Or repurposed ...

Phoebe

Not tomorrow, right? I hope not. I'm in bad shape. Next week though?

Phoebe

All these people are f*****s, on all sides, except that one little kid who cashed in his nerd present of GS shares. He's awesome and deserves his reward.

Phoebe

I thought red and white and bright colors were supposed to be better for insurance due to standing out from the backdrop more than other colors like silver or dirt-covered or whatever. I formed this notion about 33 years ago so have no idea if it's true.

Phoebe

Ooooof, poor foot! Not good, foot! But at least healing is happening in some way. Getting old is ridiculous, the impudent parts begin to break.

Phoebe

It's kind of like how a Lawful Evil monster makes more sense after you've had to deal with Chaotic Evil monsters.

Phoebe

Who are these people?

Nightmare: one of the pandemic effects was that for every day we were at home, hair would grow about a 48th of an inch. But it did not stop growing. I grew weary from having to shave my legs every day and some days I wasn't able to do it. Eventually it grew too long to manage and I had to give up an...

Phoebe

Nowadays that song is called Say so by Doja cat. I liked it better the first time, which is to say not much at all.
