    I actually thought I had dyslexia for a while because of this, plus if I don’t read correctly (which for me requires memorising each word in a sentence, then interpreting it as a sentence, as opposed to reading each word and interpreting it by itself), I get the order of words mixed up

    One helpful thing I found is that it can skip “non music sections”, ie those cringey silent scenes they put in YouTube videos. If that’d existed a couple of years ago, I probably wouldn’t have switched to Spotify. I mainly switched because I was sick of random 10 second pauses for dramatic effect in the middle of songs, often right before the chorus










  • I’m 17, and either dislike or don’t know most of them. Here’s my thoughts on most of them, if anybody’s curious:

    Star wars - don’t like it

    James Bond - never seen it

    Lord of the rings - never seen ir

    Sherlock Holmes - don’t like it

    Batman - hate it

    Superman - never seen it

    Spiderman - don’t like it

    Mission Impossible -never seen of it

    Mario - played and enjoyed Mario kart, that’s about it

    Zelda - never seen it

    Pokemon - never seen it

    Indiana Jones - don’t like it

    Back to the Future - I saw it but don’t really remember anything from it, mostly forgettable

    The Karate Kid - I watched it when I was too young to care, but I think I’d like it if I watched it now

    A Nightmare on Elm Street - liked it

    Friday the 13th - I know it, but can’t remember if I’ve seen it

    Child’s Play - watched one of them, got bored halfway through

    It - liked it

    Rambo - liked it

    Rocky - never seen it

    Jurassic Park - seen it, no strong feelings

    The Matrix - got bored by the 30 minute mark and turned it off

    The Terminator - never seen it

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - don’t like it

    Transformers - never seen (or played?) it

    The Simpsons - seen most of it, love some of it

    Barbie - heard the song, nothing more

    GI Joe - not a clue who/what that is

    He-Man/Masters of the universe - as above

    Mickey Mouse - I sometimes watched Mickey mouse club house before school, but wasn’t a huge fan

    Toy Story - I watched (and liked) the first two

    Looney Tunes - liked it

    King Kong - I’ve heard of it but don’t know if it’s a toy or a tv show or what

    Godzilla - I saw one of the sequels and enjoyed it

    Planet of the Apes - never seen it

    Mad Max - never seen it, but I live in Australia and like the outback, so this gets quoted at me at least monthly

    The Muppets - I think the Muppets had a cameo in toy story or something, but I don’t really know much about it

    The Godfather - I really really tried to watch and enjoy this earlier this year. I turned my phone off so I wouldn’t get distracted, I sat down, I ordered a pizza, I did my very best to watch and enjoy it, but I was so mind numbingly bored by the hour and a half mark that I gave up

    Ghostbusters - I think I’ve seen bits and pieces

    Alien - no, but I have seen ET

    Star Trek - I don’t know or care what the difference is between this and star war

    Robocop - I watched one of them on late night tv a few years ago, when I was around half the age it was classified for. Barely remember it

    Frankenstein - never seen (or read?) it

    Dracula - never seen

    Tarzan - never seen

    Conan the Barbarian - never even heard of it

    Jaws - I saw one

    Harry Potter - hate it

    The Incredible Hulk - hate ir

    The Dollars Trilogy - not a clue who or what this is

    Sesame Street - don’t like it

    The Hannibal Lecter series - don’t know who or what this is

    MASH - I’m pretty sure this was always on after the Simpsons finished at 7, and everybody loves Raymond was on before. I didn’t like either of them. But then again, I was 5 or 6 and only interested in the Simpsons and nothing else, so I probably wasn’t the target audience



  • I block about 20 or so communities. A few are ideological ones that although I don’t dislike/disagree with, I just don’t want to hear about, a couple of the star trek ones, pretty much anything with “news” or “politics” in the name, since that tends to be very American centric, or in the case of world news, mostly things only Americans would care about, and I also blocked the Baldur’s gate and helldivers communities because they were constantly in my /all feed a while ago. I also block lemmit.online or whatever it is (an entire instance), because it was just reposts of Reddit posts made by a bot which annoyed me when I wanted to search for things

    My instance federates with Lemmy World, but because of some technical issue with server lag, we don’t see posts from lemmy.world for about a week (posts in LW communities from non LW users do pop up, but upvotes and sometimes comments don’t federate, so they won’t appear in all unless I scroll really deep). That has the effect of essentially meaning I don’t see any posts in LW communities in /all unless I sort by top month or new
