AI is really something to be feared only in the context of it being corporately made, because in that context it'll be taught to disregard human life and wellbeing. AI in the abstract could be awesome and immensely helpful, just there's about a 0% chance of that under capitalism

Oh hell yea, friend, great picks for questions.

♛ Name your top 5 music videos.

Gonna do a top 6 because I remembered my #1 after I listed 5 and don’t wanna exclude any

Jamie xx - Gosh

The Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be

Bjork - All is Full of Love

Battles ft. Gary Numan - My Machines

Of Montreal - Heimdalsgate Like A Promethean Curse

clipping. - Get Up

✒ If you were a song, what song would you be and why?

I mean… it’s pretty self-explanatory.

✌ Name 3 bands you would most like to meet. Why?

Mostly, right now, St. Vincent because I’m super gay for her and she inspires a lot of gender feels for me and also seems pretty chill and fun to hang out with.

I met the non-Deal half of The Breeders last year but really wanna meet Kim Deal because she’s been a musician I’ve admired consistently since high school and I’ve heard nothing but great stories from people who’ve met her.

And most of all, Bjork, because I feel like she’ll be a very warm and supportive surrogate aunt to me when she meets me and probably gives great hugs and is likely really good with trans stuff. She just seems like a beacon of light and benevolence in this dark world.

(Cheating by making this 13 songs but I had a lot of fun with this one and couldn’t bear to cut any so…)

Well, the first choice is obvious:

Sex Bob-Omb - Garbage Truck

Death Grips - Trash

Garbage - Androgyny

Cherry Glazerr - Trash People

Perfume Genius - Fool

Tera Melos - Trash Generator

Bomb the Music Industry! - Depression Is No Fun

Trash Panda - Off

Car Seat Headrest - We Can’t Afford (Your Depression Anymore)

Bully - Trash

Father John Misty - The Ideal Husband

Sleigh Bells - Blue Trash Mattress Fire

Jeff Rosenstock - The Trash The Trash The Trash

…I kinda made it so it’s a bit of an arc, I guess? Which is why I started with Sex Bob-Omb and ended on Rosenstock. I also played into both meanings of the playlist title, because why not.

Honestly, I’m super proud of this one, I could honestly make a story/movie out of the arc on this playlist.

Honestly that sounds about par for the course for most Steven King movies?

Rules: tag nine users you want to get to know better.

How old are you?: I am 24 but I think my body believes its 60 at the rate its going.

Current Job/Dream Job?: Currently a scan coordinator backup at a Supermarket and I kind of hate it with a passion. My dream job would either be a concept artist or an anthropologist but*shrug*Good luck with that.

What are you talented at?: I’d say I am pretty decent with video games, writing(although I am pretty rusty) and art I guess. Still not that confident in the art bit but*shrug*That will take time.

What is a big goal you are working towards (or have already achieved)?: Well currently it is probably to find a place to live. With the way the market is right now its cheaper to be paying a mortgage instead of renting(a 2 bed 1 bath is like 1400-1500 a month for rent around here). I really don’t want to do this because I don’t wanna be stuck somewhere for who knows how long paying a mortgage because I don’t want to live here at all but I am not left with much of a choice.

What is your aesthetic?: ..... Uhmm... good fucking question.. I don’t really think I have one in particular. I just can’t lock onto one thing with any category like that, really. My tastes change frequently and I am a pretty flexible person with stuff.

Do you collect anything?: I used to collect movie tickets growing up so I could look at them and remember the events attached to it since I never really got to go. Stopped doing that a couple years ago.

What is a topic you’re always up to talk about?: Honestly I am up for really any sort of academic talk in any field(though science and anthropology in particular) since its not really something people in my life talk about that much. Which I am fine with, of course. If you start talking to me about anything, even if it isn’t something I am well versed with, but you are passionate about I will become deeply involved and love said convo but.. I kind of miss talking about that sort of stuff. =\

What’s a pet peeve of yours?: People who do not know how to apologize when they have hurt someone. I SPECIALLY hate it when someone not only doesn’t apologize but gets super defensive about it and either brushes it off or blames it on you. Like fuck you you coward. Own up to what you did and fuckin apologize. I don’t care if you were right or wrong, you hurt someone and you gotta take responsibility for your actions/words.

Good advice to give?: Honestly it would have to be to make sure there is always one or two people that you can go to about something whether its big or small. When you are feeling down or bored or whatever having that person to turn to can be a real mood lifter, even if you aren’t talking about anything important.  

Recommend three songs?: “You’ve Got the Love” by Florence and the Machines, “Here Comes a Thought” by Steven Universe, “Can’t Stop the Healing” by Instalok
