8tracks alternative

garefield:

hey, so mourning the slow death of 8tracks, a lot of people are looking for alternatives. i know suan.fm has been suggested a lot but it doesn’t have any built-in community interaction as of yet,, BUT!!!

playmoss.com  is RLY GREAT and it has all the basic fuckin features that 8tracks always should have had like:
– see the entire tracklist
– start the playlist from any point
– unlimited skips and listening
– see how many playlists contain a certain song
– see top listeners of a playlist
– collaborative playlists!!
etc etc !!!  plus while it does have a “subscription”” it Only allows you to upload music files directly instead of linking from youtube and soundcloud. doesn’t add more than that or punish you for not paying

this sounds like an advertisement but i just want a community to start building there so we can rise above 8tracks’ tyrannical management :^)
p.s.  yes it does have a mobile app!!

            30 websites to stave away boredom. Okay, so a lot of people get really bored during summer times and don’t want to do any *real work* but still want to stave off time! So here’s a list to waste your summer away with. I’ve used all the websites cuz I have no life.

Find the Invisible Cow // You are legit finding a cow using a man’s voices. The voice gets louder the closer you get to finding a cow.

Free Rice // A quiz game. And for every answer you get right, They donate ten grain of rice to help world hunger! Feels so rewarding.

The Nicest Place on the Internet // for when you need a hug.

Agar.io // I get eaten a lot.

Buzzfeed // COUGH LOUDLY. Ispentmylifeonthisdarnsite.

My Script Font // create your own font!

Little Alchemy // Make 500+ new things from only 5 things! This is ridiculously addicting lmao.

The Useless Web // Basically 100+ other useless websites to go to

Pollack // Make a masterpiece.

Incredibox // You create music by dressing people up. So cool!!!

Zoomquilt // A very cool website that will keep you mesmerize and confused. (But it’s not really time-consuming, just weird and fun.)

Bored Button // press the bored button to find weird things you don’t need.

Press the Space Bar 2000 // Smash that space bar.

Pointless Sites // A lot of pointless sites.

Akinator // Guess what character you are thinking! So accurate lmao.

Anasomnia // So cool. Light sensitive !!

Corgi Orgy // ITS NOT WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT’S REALLY CUTE.

You are Getting Old // interesting things about your age and your lifetime !!!

If the moon were only one pixel //  Mind-Blowing.

How Old Do I look? // How old do you look?

Tiii.me // Calculates the total time you watch a tv show.

Google Nightwalk // walk along a city, without going to the city.

   I’m planning to make a companion to this, except with actual useful sites. haha. Thank you for reading this! If you have any questions/comment IM me or ask me something! Have a nice day, loves!

z-co:

Hello! A lot of you have been asking me where and how I’ve learn multiple languages and well, after a few hours of digging through my browser history and bookmarks, I was able to collect all of these resources. I have personally used all of these, so I can assure you they are useful! If there is something wrong with a website or a link, please let me know. Also, if you have any questions or if you want a learning buddy, my ask box is open. (I speak English and Spanish. I’m learning Korean, German, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Italian, and Esperanto)

Note: Learning a new language requires a lot of dedication, more than you actually think! Especially if you’re learning multiple languages at the same time. It isn’t impossible, but it will take time. And by time I mean months and/or years! So please, be patient. Take your time. Don’t rush. Keep in mind that you will mess up and that’s okay. Practice as much as you can. Practice out loud. Talk to yourself if you can. It doesn’t matter if people think you’re crazy. They won’t be thinking the same when you become a polyglot, so don’t mind them. This is for you and your future.

Do you need to distract yourself? Or are you simply bored? Here are some great websites to make the time pass.

Still haven’t found something that would float your boat? Try these:

Maybe none of these peeked your interest-maybe you’ve been wanting to create an o.c, but never really knew how to start-or you just enjoy making O.C’s….

This masterlist is to help you in making your own OCs….it can also apply to developing RP characters i suppose! (´ヮ`)!
