I get it. For me it was in stages, first i liked a few members and a few songs, then i liked the ones i thought at first were weird (now the normal stuff is more boring). I thought it was weird that people bought albums and i ignored it but after one year and a half later i caved. Now i struggle to say who are my fave members and i have memorized a lot of songs and some choreo

I like gifs hosted on Tenor... I have alot of trouble with Giphy... and I can't post gifs from mobile cause my keyboard uses left curved and right curved quotation marks, which register differently than the straight vertical ones seen on desktop...

And if I want to use an image from a fandom wiki, I need to load the image in a new tab and strip away all the stuff after .jpg where it goes /revision/etc...

Example: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/the... -- this link will just be a broken image

Stripped: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/the... -- this link would work... also this is webp, not jpg, but you get the idea...

To prove my point:

Sounds pretty normal to me... I generally get into a new artist every few years and fall down a similar rabbithole learning songs from repetitive listening... they don't always have alot of lyrics to learn... I fell down a rabbithole a few years ago with Apashe, who is basically one of the only artists I know mixing together electronic and classical orchestral music...

Mozart's Requiem for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi8vJ...

I will have to see if in mobile works for me. I use it more in my phone so it will be useful

If it doesn't, there's probably a way to disable contextual quotation marks in mobile settings somewhere... Google says there should be a Smart Punctuation setting to turn off...

That song of Apashe sounds perfect for an epic scene in a movie/show.

I have been a casual listener and never followed artists new songs. I would even struggle to name 10 artists i like or even the name of their songs, so this is news to me. And i am the type to never not like the things i like so i am with stray kids for the long haul

My android phone doesn't have those settings... but you can hold down the quotation/apostrophe buttons to get access to different options... that seems to be the trick... not sure if it solves anything, tho...

Ha! Love it lol

The issue is that the image I made I posted in a private fb group. I’d need to save it somewhere online publicly to include it here. Back in the day when I did book reviews I had a Dropbox for this, but I think it’s been long closed. Need to figure out something else.

I just have a personal discord server for photo hosting


message 6619: by Diana Stormblessed (new)

Diana Stormblessed (dashichka) | 5420 comments Yay! I'm just happy I figured out a way to include pics. Though it is much easier on computer than on phone.

Side note: If I ever get kidnapped by a vampire, please oh please let it be this one.

Paula (paula7) | 2187 comments Yay! Hyunjin photos! He is growing his hair so maybe we will have this hairstyle again. And Felix cut his short, although I am not sure how short. We will have to wait for the MAMAs performance I guess

I tried to play with discord before but I couldn’t figure it out. Guess I’m officially too old.

Discord is basically the evolution of IRC chat and voice chat programs... persistent history... popular among gamers, and other communities... but it can also be annoying and exclusionary, since you can't do a google search to find things, like you can with reddit communities...

Serious snow today, in the Midwest USA... waited just long enough for Black Friday shopping to end IRL...

I fishtailed a bit on my drive home from work this morning, and it's been snowing another 8-12hrs...

I shoveled around my car when I got home, and it feels like a waste of time, given how much more snow has fallen...


message 6634: by Paula (new)

Paula (paula7) | 2187 comments I want snow! I haven't seen snow in my city since February 2023.

on other news, my kindle arrived! It's seems small and cute compared to my old one but my oldy has more edge so it seems bigger. Tomorrow I'll do an overhaul of books, putting them on collections and stuff

My parents drove home to Chicago from NJ on Friday. We wanted them to stay till Saturday but now I’m thankful that they resisted. I can’t imagine having to drive 900 miles in that snow. She sent me pics yesterday and it looked crazy. I saw on the news a 50 car pile up on some highway. The Midwest is used to snow but from what I hear this was extreme.

I went back out after sundown, and spent an hour shoveling from my stairwell to my car, a square around my car, and then a bunch more space to really clear it so the snow plow could come through the parking lot and shove it out of the way without creating more work for me...

I did my stairwell, the rectangle above my stairwell, the box around my car to clear snow off car if it snows again, then the space to back out and turn, and the No parking spot next to my spot, intended for maintenance workers... then I brushed a foot of snow off my car and shoveled again, cause it was crazy... an then a final wipedown of my car after all was said and done, of anything that blew off the roof while I was out there...

The plow came through around 2am I think... and it was luckily that weird snow temp where it was melting instead of freezing, so my car is clean and the area around it is dry not icy...

Should be good for work for the next 2 days... I called in last night, and I assume most people that don't have big wheel trucks did...

We got alot more snow than I was expecting... the weather said 5-8 inches in my region, 9-12 inches up closer to Chicago...

Quick google and I found like at least 2 big pile ups... 30-50 on the Indiana border... and 400+ in Michigan/Nebraska...

This is only a fraction of what’s on my phone 😉 I probably have even more of Lee Know 😅


message 6645: by Diana Stormblessed (new)

Diana Stormblessed (dashichka) | 5420 comments Also, I was able to score the signed Do It card with Hyunjin’s signature and I cannot tell you how happy that made me lol


message 6646: by Paula (new)

Paula (paula7) | 2187 comments So who are you biases? Hynjin and Lee know, anyone else?


message 6647: by Diana Stormblessed (new)

Diana Stormblessed (dashichka) | 5420 comments Han, but maybe to a lesser degree, because yes he’s adorable, but really you can’t have Lee Know without Han. They’re kind of a matching set. My first bias was Hyunjin but Lee Know stalked me and then broke my brain.

Who are your biases?


message 6648: by Paula (new)

Paula (paula7) | 2187 comments My absolutely first is Seungmin. I got into skz because of his voice and really like his craziness. But then Han came stalking me and Lee know is not so far behind either. So they are also biases at this point

More evidence that they have to come as a matching set.
