I'll always talk up internet radio stations because I don't think the average person is aware that they're free, can run in your browser (or in any program that can connect to them), work on your phone, run better than a youtube tab, and give you a much better selection of music than you could get from a general algorithmic playlist

(also lots of them have live shows which you can tune into for free)

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

Mein lieber Scholli. Mein lieber Schwan. Mein lieber Herr Gesangsverein. Mein lieber Freund und Kupferstecher. Alter Schwede. Alter Verwalter. Ich glaube mein Schwein pfeift. Ach du grüne Neune. Da wird ja der Hund in der Pfanne verrückt. Himmel, Arsch und Zwirn. Da brat mir einer nen Storch. Holla die Waldfee. Heidewitzka. Donnerlittchen. Ich glaube es hackt. Leck mich fett. Da boxt der Papst im Kettenhemd. Heiliges Blechle. Ich glaub mich knutscht ein Elch. Das geht aber auf keine Kuhhaut. Da haben wir den Salat. Ich glaube mit tritt ein Pferd.

Les Amis ranked by how many lines they get in the Brick

(counting every time we get a line in direct speech, including one-word lines in dialog and such)

Enjolras : 124 lines, including two (2) longer speeches. Most of these are him giving orders, with many brief instructions during the barricade chapters. Althrough his words only would seem to shape out an inflexible and severe character (e.g. in the way he adresses Grantaire or how quickly he kills Le Cabuc), he is the one whose actions and behaviour are the most described, which allows him to be seen beyond these harsh words (telling Combeferre "it must be done" before killing the artillery-man and being shown crying as he does so). Ultimately his lines also make him a sensible and humane man, as shown in his declaration after killing Le Cabuc, but most of the time the words of the "revolutionnary leader" prevail.

Courfeyrac : 99 lines. A solid third of these are from his "Do you have any money ?" dialog with Marius, and he is the one who gets the most jokes and overall huromous lines (including "I met Marius's new hat and coat, and Marius was inside" and him adressing the army's cannon). However, his lines also show a more serious and caring side of his character as he serves as Enjolras's right-hand man during the barricade chapters, and is the first one to notice Gavroche being outside the barricade.

Bossuet : 64 lines. He is the first of them who gets to actually speak, as he encounters Marius in front of the Musain. He gets lines before and during the entirety of the barricade chapters, usually to comment on the situation or join Courfeyrac in clever quips and sarcasm,his last line known being "where is your hat ?" at the heart of the final battle.

Grantaire : 60 lines, including two soliloquies as he is explicitely said to be drunk (the first one at the Musain, interrupted by Bossuet, the second one at the Corinthe interrupted by the arrival of Navet). A good 20 out of these are when Enjolras overhears him playing dominos at the Barrière du Maine, and he gets two lines seconds before his death - including, of course, "Permets-tu ?"

Combeferre : 28 lines, the most famous of which is without contest "to be free". He is the only one who gets a solo song, and also holds one of the longest speeches when he tries to convince some men to leave the barricade. As Combeferre is not much seen in action, his lines help establish him as a knowledgeable (comments about the mechanism and history of the cannon) and very humane character ("He could be your brother")

Joly : 18 lines. Almost all of these are covered in only two chapters, the first conversation being the one with Bahorel at the Musain and the other his meal with Grantaire and Bossuet at the Corinthe during Lamarque's funeral.

Bahorel : 14 lines. He is mostly seen and heard on two occasions : giving advice to Joly about Musochetta, and being among the most enthusiastic before the barricades, which immediately gets him Gavroche's respect.

Jehan : 4 lines, and that is if you count the song he is said to be singing with a few others at the beginning of the barricade chapters. Aside from Grantaire, he is the only one to get lines right before his death, which are only given to us as overheard by Enjolras and Combeferre.

Feuilly : 4 lines. Probably the Ami who gets the least mentions overall, as he isn't present during the first scenes at the Musain. The first time we hear him speak is in the last part of the barricade chapters, as he answers Enjolras "in the name of everyone". His only line aside from that is him lamenting the absence of absence of generals who abandonned them.

In my experience as a third culture kid who travels a lot the best indicator that you as a non-x is appreciating x culture is if the locals actively invite you to participate in it with them

Yes, you are allowed to buy those handmade Inuit winter clothes if an Inuk is literally selling them to you. They would not be offering you a price point if they didnt want you to buy and wear them. And you might discover that theyre the best winter clothes youve ever worn because of COURSE they would be if theyve kept this culture warm in harsh winters for thousands of years.

Yes, you are allowed to join those Cambodians in that local holiday theyre celebrating during your visit if they literally invited you to it. They would not have invited you if they didnt want you to participate. And in the process you might learn a lot about a culture you never wouldve interacted with and you can all have a laugh together about your clumsy but genuine attempts at getting your footwork right in one of their traditional dances.

Yes, you are also allowed to ask if you can participate in something from the local culture you are visiting. Sometimes you will get "sorry, thats a closed practice" but in my experience most of the time you'll get "of course, let me show you how to do this!" And in my experience people tend to appreciate when others make an active effort in sharing their culture and wont stone you to death if youre clumsy about it while youre learning. I guarantee that the local children doing all of this for the first time too make the same mistakes you do and they can tell if youre being disrespectful or genuine.

So much "cultural appropriation" discourse really starts to sound like "you cant participate or visit any other cultures if youre from a Colonial Culture and have to stay in your little box and never relate to other people"

it's crucial that you untie "special interest" from "expertise". "it's true just trust me bro" doesn't have any extra weight when you add "I know because it's my special interest". you are not immune from falling for misinformation, and you are not immune from sharing misinformation. not to mention the fact that "amount of knowledge" isn't even a requirement for something being classified as a special interest lol!
