That would be a lot

I once had 1500 upvotes on Reddit for something, don't even remember what. I'm a celebrity now.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I remember my most uovoted comments were always the pithy little sentences that didn't add much, but captured the zeitgeist. Meanwhile I'd write an essay with a proper thesis and everything in a niche community and get like one downvote for my trouble.
One of the reasons I turn off vote displays here. I don't consider it real engagement. Yeah we all do it to be polite, but it doesn't mean anything. A hundred upvotes is like a hundred people replying "ok" or "ya" — not even.
Anyway that's my hobby horse, thanks for reading.

Every Monday night I do a radio show. Most weeks I get about 15 people listening, and have had to work really hard to stay at a place where I'm happy that it's as many as that.
Time is fleeting, we don't get back what we've used, so it blows my mind that 15 people choose to spend two hours of their week listening to my bullshit. Sure, I'd like it to be more, but I'll take what I can get.
This made me realize that I never really knew how many listeners my radio show had, and that I never really cared.

I don't have to imagine. I'm sure almost 15 people have complimented my appearance over the course of my entire life.
Is that counting relatives?

Every week you have 15 people sitting in a circle hanging on your every word for two whole hours. And they keep coming back. That’s a lot of good friends, man! If they were there in person we’d all wonder if you were a cult leader.
It isn't a cult, I just really like robes.
-
Is that counting relatives?
Yeah....

What kind of hat was it?
A pork pie!

It's always these quippy one-liners that add nothing of value to the conversation. One of the aspects that made commenting on popular posts so unrewarding and boring because the entire comment section would be full of people parroting this senseless nonsense. Actively a part of what made me comment and post barely on reddit. Whereas on here, I'm commenting a lot more than I used to simply because the discussions surrounding the comments actually exist and is appreciated.

Plug your shit man. I'll be number 16 at least once.

OK!
Well, I'm live at https://stream.djdarren.site/ between 1900-2100 UK time every Monday, after which I upload it to Mixcloud.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]What?! I got one random woman on the bus to school when I was around 17 (so I looked about 12) who mistook my resting grumpy face for actual sadness and spent a good 5 minutes giving me a pep talk about how if anyone bullies me, it's because they're jealous that I'm pretty. I was just sitting there confused the whole time.
And then compliments as general love-bombing from my toxic exes. And as part of a few generic "my beautiful daughters" from my parents, which was just hollow to me. So I can literally count it on one hand.
I do get complimented on my miniatures, though. And that's more important, because that's something I achieved.

On Sara Lee Artisano bread, in this order:
Yellow mustard
Two slices of oven roasted turkey breast
One slice of cheese (baby Swiss or Gouda)
Another slice of turkey
Another slice of cheese
Green or red leaf lettuce
A thick slice of beefsteak tomato
Onion
MayoI pack the lettuce tomato and onion in a separate zip top bag and add them to the sandwich right before eating it. Makes all the difference.
I randomly made this the first time I actually took my lunch to work and at the first bite was like “FUCK that’s a good sandwich” and I’ve taken the exact same thing every day for weeks now.
100% agree that adding the lettuce and tomato right before eating it is 🤌

what's your show about? I may give it a listen if it's a topic of interest to me

Its theme based. At the end of every show I announce the theme for next week's, then the suggestions come pouring in via Mastodon.
Tonight's theme is covers, and I currently have 5 1/2 hours of suggestions to dig through.

Do you still broadcast ?

No, that was decades ago with a station that was sold ... well, decades ago, too.
