I want to purge Spotify from my life, but it does a lot to turn me onto music.

First I start a playlist with a general vibe I’m looking for, then either go to playlist radio and add tracks I like that come up, or scroll down to suggested tracks and start adding them from there.

I also have a special playlist where every time I hear a tune and go “damn, that’s good”, regardless of genre, it gets added there. The suggested stuff for that one is pretty solid.

The custom auto-generated Discover Weekly and Release Radar playlists are really good for surprises too. And other people’s playlists can be really great.

For electronic music, I have a di.fm subscription, and listen to that a lot. Plenty of great stuff has come to me via Shazam from there

I frequently watch videos of people from outside the US trying biscuits and gravy for the first time. Every one starts with “I’m not trying that disgusting slop” and ends with “I want to eat this every day for the rest of my life”

“I’m alright” seems like the universal way to say “I’m not alright”

I prefer metric for everything but indoor/outdoor temperature. Fahrenheit is based on human comfort ranges and feels more precise when used for that
