| Lately I have been getting into baroque music a lot. I think it's great music and I've found a pretty good amount of it just in the past month of researching it, but I'm craving more. Feel free to give your own recommendations. Here's my favorite baroque composers so far- (goes without saying) JS Ba... |

| I love Haydn! Most of the other classical music fans I know seem to dislike him, so it's good to see someone else who does. He's both manically inventive and kind of chilled out, which is an unusual combination. Fun to play, too- his piano sonatas are just about within my abilities, and they're rea... |

| Lately Haydn has been one of my favorite composers. He isn't as edgy as say, Beethoven or Wagner, but there's something about his music that makes me want to keep listening again and again. He wrote a vast amount of stuff including 70 sting quartets and 104 symphonies, so there's certainly no shorta... |

Dial1194 wrote: Cyberpunk is very 1980s zeerust. There are aspects of today's world which fit into it, purely from being more futuristic than then, but overall there's been a number of very strong divergences from the cyberpunk vision of the future.
What are these divergences specifically? |

| I had this thought today. Cyberpunk is a pretty popular concept right now with the video game and all and it made me wonder... Is today's society not similar to that? Think about the aspects of it that our world shares: -New and complicated societal issues (hatred, cyberbullying, echo chambers, depr... |

| You could have nearly 800 pages in a bill and they give congress like an hour to read it then it's off to the vote. That's insane to me. Why can't they read what they're voting on, does congress have a literacy problem? Seems to me that we're letting the dullest tools in the shed be head of household. |

This is Nyarlathotep aka the faceless god aka the crawling chaos. The gist is that he's a malignant god capable of destroying the world, but doe... |

| I must admit I am in a bit of a rut at the moment in life overall. Due to personal reasons I won't go into, my academic and financial progression in life has essentially halted for a temporary yet indefinite amount of time. Though part of the cause for this is my own actions and I believe that this ... |

To help cope with the loss of it, I try to return to the areas around that place in hopes of reigniting the hope it brought me. In... |

They're a really good post-punk band from the 80s. They kind of did the whole dream pop/shoegaze thing before it got big. Very underrated and my favorite postpunk band possibly. Check em out if you haven't.

| From what I've seen different governmental corporate institutions DO work to undermine eachother and effect the way our country is run. But is any of it nefarious or intended to usher in authoritarianism? Or is just checks and balances. Discuss. |
