    Hey there! FYI I really appreciated this comment. The response to my comment here convinced me that Lemmy isn't really the place for me. I popped back today to look something up, and I wanted to make sure you got a friendly hello after seeing your response.

    I totally agree with everything you said. Having shared practices for remembrance and an established "typical" way to demonstrate care for deceased people is a significant part of maintaining social cohesion and so useful for giving individuals an outlet for grief.

    The way an entire industry has emerged to capitalize on loss and paij sickens me, but that part is a whole different conversation.

    My education is in archaeoligy, and my primary interest was American deathways. I've probably spent more time thinking about contemporary death rites and remembrance than I've thought about anything else as an adult.

    Anyway, I hope you're well! Keep on being a cool person.

    Ritual and ceremony are deeply important aspects of the human experience. What cultures do with their dead is way, way up there with foodways and adornment when it comes to cultural significance.

    The increasingly common view in the West that elaborate death rites are unimportant is really new when compared to the rest of human history. It's probably a postmodern thing? If I'm right about that, that would mean the less reverential attitude towards traditional deatg ceremony is like 110ish years old.

    Compared to the 200,000-300,000 years Homo Sapiens have been around (or 45,000 years ago if we only want to discuss the length of time that Northern European-style deathways have most likely been practiced), 100 years isn't a lot to change that cultural inertia.

    Sorry, I know this is a Wendy's. Just a frosty, thanks.

  • hrimfaxi_work hrimfaxi_work 7 months ago 100%

    Yes, but that's all part of the first session! Character creation is playing in Traveller! 🤗 It's usually most people's favorite part, even. It's collaborative and engaging, and shit can get really wacky and fun. I've had friends over just to roll up characters together that we had no intention of playing.

    Gameplay rules seem like a lot, but it's very step-by-step and spoon-fed to you. The GM needs to prep, obviously, but the flow is really intuitive. The core rulebook is loaded with tables to tell you what to do.

    The star system bit is nbd. Just make that stuff up as you go and to suit your needs. You can totally play a game that follows Traveller canon and lore if you want (it's pretty cool), but there's no need.

    And don't let Glass Cannon freak you out! They have to ensure snappy pacing because they're doing 90 minutes episodes that need to be enjoyable to passively listen to. Playing at home with your friends doesn't come with that baggage.

    That said, their permanent Traveller show called Voyagers of the Jump is very good. It's a good companion to the rulebook for getting a sense of how to play.

    Jump
  • hrimfaxi_work hrimfaxi_work 7 months ago 100%

    I'm a light sleeper with a loud mind, as well, so this kind of thing has always been a problem for me. The two main things I find helpful may not do the trick for you, but here goes:

    First, trying to force myself back to sleep always just ramps my brain up worse and makes it more difficult than it already was to fall back asleep. I stopped trying to force the issue, which has counterintuitively sped up the time it takes me to fall back asleep. I don't get up or engage my mind with anything significant, but if I'm awake, I'll put soft music on my earbuds or scroll on my phone set to the dimmest setting. I may not fall back to sleep immediately, but I've found that lowering the pressure on myself to fall back asleep makes it happen more readily than when I spend 2 hours and 45 minutes being like "if I fall asleep right now, I can still get another 3 hours. go to sleep. fall asleep. sleep will happen.... now!"

    Second, I've increased my oversell magnesium intake. I know you said no substances, but I feel like this is different. There have been a few studies--popular science type stuff, nothing peer reviewed that I know of--indicating that magnesium improves sleep quality and the ability to return to sleep if woken up. Might be the placebo effect, but I don't care because I've noticed an improvement.

    Sorry you have to deal with this flavor of insomnia, too. Super sucks.

    I've had tons of luck getting new people into ttrpgs through Traveller.

    Players don't need to know anything ahead of time, and character creation is part of the game. It's the most fun part of the game, in my opinion. It can get absolutely bonkers. Sometimes I roll up characters just for fun using this.

    The GM can introduce game mechanics as players roll up and work out their characters. By the time you begin proper gameplay, your players know enough to muddle through a session without a rules info dump making it feel overwhelming.

    TIL what an ocular migraine feels like. Not recommended.

    I actually thought I might be having an aneurysm or a stroke. It was weird. An iridescent zigzag appeared in part of my field of vision, and another portion of my field of vision just... stopped. I had this big blind spot for like an hour, all while this jagged rainbow bastard chilled in my left peripheral. That went away slowly, only to be replaced with vertigo and exhaustion. Almost no headache, though. I kept verifying that one side of my face wasn't paralyzed or whatever because I've had migraines a few times before, but those were nothing like this! Apparently they can just be this way. Does anyone else get these? They're dumb.

    This is a fine house. A good house, even. I like it. Not sure we need 237 photos of it, though

    https://www.zillow.com/homes/891-Woodland-Hls,-Harlan,-KY,-40831_rb/110358746_zpid/ 1 image per 17.4 square feet seems excessive.

    The bastard lovechild of r/casualconversation and r/pointlessstories

    [!conversationpit@midwest.social](/c/conversationpit@midwest.social) is a... spiritual successor?... of what r/casualconversation was a super long time ago. Come post random bullshit that's on your mind, and then talk with others about random bullshit that's on their mind. I'm having problems uploading images, so I'll pretty the place up with a banner and whatnot another time.

    Can someone help me understand what's going on? Communities look different from different instances.

    Intro and Context Midwest.social is my homebase, but I have two other accounts in different instances. Both accounts are in instances that are federated with this one. I started a genre film community about a week ago. Yesterday, I logged in to my other instances to see what the community looks like from a non-moderator perspective. They all look different, depending on what instance I'm viewing the community from. Screenshots below: Screenshots ![](https://midwest.social/pictrs/image/9de2e3aa-3886-48e1-9982-8262b32a4526.png) This is the view of [!driveinmovies@midwest.social](/c/driveinmovies@midwest.social) from this instance. This is how I'd expect it to be seen by anyone that midwest.social is federated with. Is that not correct? For context, all the comments in the stickied post are from individuals belonging to other instances with which midwest.social is federated. In fact, there are comments from lemmy.ml folks, and I think there's one from somebody in sopuli.xyz. That may be relevant because of what I see when I go to *my* lemmy.ml and sopuli.xyz accounts. ![](https://midwest.social/pictrs/image/7eec894f-d6cc-4343-b11a-b8f2287e2b45.png) This is the view of [!driveinmovies@midwest.social](/c/driveinmovies@midwest.social) from my account on lemmy.ml. Only three posts show up. The comment counts and upvotes are different. The one on top with zero upvotes was actually posted from the pictured lemmy.ml account. The middle post is supposedly a stickied post, except it's not stickied when accessed through lemmy.ml. Also, none of the comments appear. Not even my own test comment. The "subscribe pending" business is new. Several days ago, it said "joined" over there. When I try unsubscribing and resubscribing, I keep getting the pending nonsense. ![](https://midwest.social/pictrs/image/6a52e620-7d50-4191-87f5-ba6403bda05a.png) This is the view of [!driveinmovies@midwest.social](/c/driveinmovies@midwest.social) from my account on sopuli.xyz. All the posts show up, but the comment counts and upvotes are different. The "subscribe pending" thing here is the same as it is with my lemmy.ml account. It wasn't there a couple days ago, but now it is. Turning it off and on again doesn't do anything. Questions Only one question, really. Is this as odd as it seems to me? Okay, two questions. Can someone explain why it looks different, based on which instance I'm accessing the community from?

Last.fm communities already exists over on feddit.de and lemmy.world. Unless you have the instances blocked, you should go play over at either [!scrobble@feddit.de](/c/scrobble@feddit.de) or [!lastfm@lemmy.world](/c/lastfm@lemmy.world)

    The Final Terror (1983)

    cross-posted from: https://midwest.social/post/746278 > It's pretty good! > > I'm not a movie reviewer and don't want to be one, so I won't do a write-up or anything, but if you like slashers from the early 80s this might be one to check out. It's fairly predictable and I'm not totally sure the premise even makes sense, but who cares! It was competently done, and it lacks polish in a way that I think adds to the movie. This is a solid pick if you're ever doing a 1980s slasher movie night imo.

    You're going back to 17 August 1888. What do?

    I'm including !hypotheticalsituations in a game I play with myself sometimes. The bolded parameters were all assigned using a random number generator. Don't worry about how you were convinced of it, but you know for certain that you will be transported to **17 August 1888** in exactly **one week** from right now. This is a one-way trip. Luckily, you will be able to bring some things with you. You will be able to bring back **2 m^3^/72 ft^3^** worth of stuff. For reference, that's about what can be stored in the bed of a standard pickup without going over the bedrails. Let's say that you've been provided the appropriate number of steamer trunks to fill. What are you going to do for the next week, what are you bringing back with you, and what will you do once you arrive? You may bring people/pets back with you, but you must subtract their approximate dimensions from your baggage allotment. You will arrive in 1888 in the same geographic location that you're in next week.

    That basement waterbed has seen some stuff. It better come with the house is all I have to say.

    Another one that's not so wild. It's actually kind of the perfect house. Mansard roof? **Check.** Tile counters that are impossible to fully clean? **Check.** Nana & Pop Pop upstairs, musty 70s fuck lair downstairs? **Check.** A ceiling light that's also somehow a table? **Check.** This place has it all! https://www.zillow.com/homes/13743-50th-Ave-S-Glyndon,-MN-56547_rb/336630147_zpid/
