Look at one thing, then quickly at another (only moving your eyes). You quite literally were blind for a moment there due to saccadic masking: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccadic_masking
Hi Teddy, I love you.
I'm considering switching back to Spotify for just that reason. I jumped over to Tidal a few years back as they pay artists more, but their recommendation algorithms are garbage in comparison.
Haha, same! I think it was three accounts for me until it clicked. I can't recall exactly what I was doing wrong, but I remember it had something to do with replying to comments that was my main source of confusion; from my inbox it mattered somehow (this is the bit I can't recall) what I clicked on to go to the originating community, only one way took me there in a way that preserved my login/subscription (man, I don't understand yet how to talk about this system).
Mlem needs a lot of work, no doubt about it. for generally viewing content it gets a passing grade, but things get janky (if not impossible) fast when it comes to interacting with the site. I have hopes though; the creator said that they're taking a lot of inspiration from Apollo, so I'm withholding Judgement as it's very clearly very beta in its development. Makes me wish I could help (I love Apollo, especially as a fellow Haligonian), but I've no experience with app development.
Not sure yet how to ping an account, but his handle is TheDude. I'd really like to know his stance on this too.
I hate to say it, but I feel like I'm kind of mainstream as far as prog metal goes; I really don't know if I'd consider anything in my list lesser known. I think my issue is that I have no idea how to find new music anymore (short of EveryNoiseAtOnce, which I just remembered existed).
The first album that came to mind, which is definitely not metal, is 100% Yes by Melt Yourself Down. I believe the genre description I read was "Afrolatin inspired post-bop punk-jazz", so of course I had to check it out.
Okay. Ever wonder why pigeons bob their heads? It's so that they can perceive depth. Animals with front facing eyes like ours can tell how near/far something is based on the angle formed by our eyes (called stereopsis). Pigeons, being side-eyed, don't have that option, so instead they compare the percieved size of things as they bob. Things that are closer will "grow" more than things that are far away.
