  • ComradeR@lemmy.mltoAsklemmy@lemmy.mlIs "female" offensive?

    “I have a female friend.” (As in “I have a friend that’s a woman.”) “I’ve talked with a female today.” (As in “I’ve talked with a woman today.”)

    The first one is fine, because isn’t using the word as an adjective. The second one is derogatory, because it is being used as a substantive.



  • In a long run, from childhood to adulthood, I switched to communism hater to being communist myself. When I was a kid, I thought that Communism was a ideology for lazy and totalitarian people, I didn’t even knew what it was about.

    I also was the kind of person who laughed with edgy/uncensored comedy, now my eyes roll everytime I hear or read any joke that targets socially oppressed groups.



  • There are 2 types of LW:

    1. Unknown songs (there is a snippet or a full version of audio recorded, but the title/artist weren’t identified)

    2. Songs that are lost (there are a title and/or the name of artist, but no one is able to find it).

    Anyway… Is kinda of a hobby to wait for the song to be found/identified. And there are times that the time spent waiting worths a lot. There is a brazilian synthpop song that was a mystery for almost 30 years. The song kept the placeholder of Fond my mind while it was unknown. The song was identified (by the artist himself) as “Feels Like a Wish” from the duo Station K on December from the last year. I follow a lot of channels on YouTube about it! It’s fascinating.


  • I don’t know if it counts: but, despite not knowing how to read chords, read musical sheets or play any instrument, I’m a music addicted. Like… I know a lot of musical styles, enjoy obscure genres and oddities and watch videos of people peculiar instruments while etc… My newest obsession is lostwave. I kinda find intriguing about how many unknown songs still unidentified for more than a decade. And, when a lostwave that I enjoy to listen is finally identified, it’s enough to make me happy for days! It’s crazy, I know.
