Ah yeah, I go to concerts pretty often. Radiohead, Green Day, Gorillaz, plenty of local rock, jazz and hip hop bands. But I don’t really count that as “partying” as I usually go for the music first.
Professional audio engineer, specialized in DSP and audio programming. I love digital synths and European renaissance music. I also speak several languages, hit me up if you’re into any of that!

No, I get you. I’m sure that’s fun. I mean, I have awesome fun when I go to concerts I like, like Green Day or Gorillaz (yeah, I like old music lol).
But if you don’t do drugs, and you don’t even enjoy electronic music all that much, I don’t really see much point to raves, clubs and that stuff. Especially if most of your friends aren’t into that stuff either.
I’m 25, so nah, not really. I enjoy spending time with my friends, but more like, going to get coffee or playing tabletop games. Maybe playing online games and cursing each other out.
But I can’t remember the last time I went to a bar or a club. I was probably in college. I don’t find much interesting to do when I go to places like that, so I just leave work early and go hang out at my friend’s place with a couple beers, or something. We rarely go out to clubs at all anymore.
I’m relatively young and yeah, I barely ever party. Never did it much as a teen, and I do it even less as an adult in my 20’s. It’s just not all that fun to me.
Obviously Stomping Ground was their most famous album, but I find Hang Ups to be their most fun and creative work. I love this album very much.
I called you Satan, cause when we were skating you would make the metal sign.
Fucking amazing music all around.
I also love 20c Goodbye, Carlita and I Need to Know.
Arguably, though, friki is more about the media and entertainment the person consumes than about them being smart.
That’s pretty clever, actually. Props to them for the smart campaign.
That is legitimately how a lot of criminal gangs operate. They wage wars with each other in the night and usually avoid messing with civilians. These groups tend to have a bit of a Messiah complex and try to portray themselves as heroes that will protect civilians from other groups, the government or whatever other threat. It’s very common with narco cartels as well.
The best you’re going to get is anecdotal evidence at most.
I think universally, arrogance is very much frowned upon, and a lot of intelligent (and not so intelligent) people use their self-perceived intelligence to put others down. So you’re going to find a lot of words for arrogant, pedantic or annoying people. But insults for just smart or academically talented people are indeed rare outside of English. At least in my experience.
Same thing in (some variants of) Spanish. You have ñoño, someone who is always trying to outperform the others academically, usually it’s those who make a huge effort without seeing proportional results for it.
But we have very few insults for intellectual or smart people. Practically none I can think of.
I don’t think you’re supposed to have your opinion swayed by what teens think but it is important to know what they think because they reflect future trends and ideals.
I’m in my early 20’s and I just changed my iPhone for a Pixel, actually. Got fed up with a lot of the Apple crap, and the Pixel looked sick. Then again, I’m not American and I don’t use SMS anymore, so no one I talk to would ever know what OS I’m using.
The fact that Americans still use SMS is fucking bizarre. It’s like the Japanese still using fax in this day and age for some reason
The movie is awesome, but it gets me down thinking about how many shitty toy “but with grown-up humour” movies we’re going to get after this, just because now every studio in the world is going to join the bandwagon.
That’s good to hear! I wanted the Coral 7a but they only had it in sky blue, so I got that one, which also looks pretty good.
I just bought myself a pixel to replace my iPhone. So I guess I’m part of that growing trend. Personally the only thing that worries me is that I’ve heard the 7 and 7a have kind of crappy fingerprint detection, and I really would love to use it. But otherwise, I’m pretty excited for this!!

Then again, music streaming services pretty much removed music piracy from mainstream usage altogether. Obviously people in this sub still pirate music, but it’s so uncommon nowadays, I’m sure many people wouldn’t even know where or how to find it.
