Random thoughts thread

Finally able to make my baby hamster comfy~
When I got her she was so scared, jumpy and squeeking loud. Taming a ham took me nearly a month but I’m getting there~

@platy No, it really is. K-pop fandoms are essentially cults of crazy teenagers who keep fighting each other for the stupidest reasons, with their sjws and "ratio"ing or whatever the new form of bullying is. Besides, the industry is heavily competitive and groups disband if they don’t bring in results so they fight over it. Unsurprisingly there are many ugly scandals, self-harm and sasaeng fans. I’m in rather chill fandoms and only talk to ~5 mates who get my ways of oversharing and barely voting - and still have to take a step back at times in order to de-stress, because others are that rude.

@Deborah I feel that :upside_down_face: I was living off migraine meds and caffeine pills even before the pandemic so I thought I had to do something about it but… I was avoidant for the longest time because getting addicted to (even prescription ; ) drugs isn’t cool and it’s something I’d rather be able to avoid by resting but, alas. It really does suck that we have to pay for harm that others have done, but, well, I guess that’s how life goes, I mean ‘nobody’ would die of COVID-19 if other people hadn’t spread it. Lol health care in general is the art of paying for harm that others have done so

In more positive (?) thoughts I’ve been thinking about my musical influences which is… fun. I recall that pre-Napster MP3 weren’t big (rip MID) and I’d listen to music my parents enjoyed. My earliest memory of picking music was asking my parents to insert a disc on the Laserdisc before they went to bed and I’d listen to the same songs all night. I always chose either Kate Bush’s The Whole Story, and I’d keep skipping to Babooshka and Wuthering Heights, or Gloria Estefan’s Everlasting Gloria and I’d skip to Everlasting Love and Turn the Beat Around. In retrospect I can see why they’d be worried that I kept replaying 2 “woman singing morbid stuff on dark background”, 1 soft porn and 1 drag runway but lol.

I started following some pages for a certain group and the way they completely idolise and devote their life to pushing Youtube views among other things, there’s even schedules?! Scary shit. Speaking of scandals, Hyunjin (Stray Kids) getting the punishment he deserves for coming out as bully and fans acting like he’s been done wrong…tbh I’m surprised he’s being punished so harshly but He Got What He Deserved.

I don’t wanna get involved with any fandoms, so me and my normie friend who I got into k-pop are our own little island and since we are Adults ™ with extremely busy schedules we don’t have time to get involved with anything apart from listening to music, which works great.

Thank you for replying. Finding out that two idols from groups I liked back in the day are no longer with us hit me hard as well. :upside_down_face:

Safe to say, it’s not just a joke lol.

Once a year or so I find a new band I never listened to, but it turns out I like their music very much. I start to listen to them all the time. So in a couple of days these songs sound so familiar to me, I start to get a feeling I’ve heard them for a first time years and years ago.

Do you feel something similar sometimes?

doing another distro hopping now and currently running OpenIndiana as my regular one. I find I get used to a new OS pretty quickly, and OpenOffice is as good as LibreOffice. wish for the next update for sure, have a nice day, IllumOS :kissing_closed_eyes:

My random thought…probably not just me but while I love VKei I really find the fanbase toxic. Im part Japanese and I 100% understand the style naturally attracts mentally unstable people who are abundant in the stressful country but it:s pretty annoying to even read comments on twitter or youtube vids for me lol. On the bright side at least it:s not as crazy as hardcore Kpop fans. :relieved:

@p0pp3r 純粋な真実! :tada: :+1: :grinning:

Not all the fanbase, but most comment on youtube, and I’m the same, I don’t bother reading comments under the Gazette or Dir en grey’s videos. I remember one of my old friend writting fanfiction on members of the GazettE shivers.

it lacks scale and derangement to be truly toxic. arianators & kpop is where the psychosis thrives.

I’m not even part Japanese and I agree 100% lol
It’s certainly lacking in scale, but in derangement? Pshh

In an unrelated note because somehow we derailed the “random thoughts thread” a random thought (which I had to filter through a pile of thoughts about mental illnesses and complaints and music to think of): how I miss early 2000s weeaboo web? Domains with names like kuroi-sekai.org? Fanlistings? Always missing

Welp, time to run through all the DMX albums on repeat for the next week. Fucking hell, so many fave rappers died in the past 5 years
