Watch silent films and marvel at the theatery exaggerated acting. You can talk over silent films much easier and they demand less attention from the viewer. Some have their own scores attached to them so you aren’t just hearing silence or someone’s classical music playlist. Many are public domain and trivial to find online. Success scales with your interest in film criticism and how much you can tolerate thinking about a pretty messed-up period of history while blazed.
Also try SomaFM for picking a music vibe. It’s donation-supported and ad-free, and a nice way to come across new artists.
Some quick extra bullet points as I’m short on time and much of what I want to say has already been said in this thread:

How to clean those super cheap foam earplugs?
I’m down to my last clean pair and I’d love to not have to buy a ton more of these down the line. They’re essential for any time I end up at a music-centric event, or really most events that include music. I’ll be scrolling through the earplug recommendations in this community too
I’ve cried really hard to the track “Confronting Myself” from Celeste, which counts as “because of a video game” even though I wasn’t playing it at the time.
Tap for spoilerI was off my SSRI meds at the time, and it seriously broke me up listening to how the characters’ instruments and motifs and the buildup and release of tension in the track mirror the kind of dialogue they’re in when it plays. It’s also a climactic scene with a lot of mental health allegory going on at the same time, which really adds to the emotions here.
I’m crying again now thanks
Which episode has this quote?
It goes something like “The most level-headed people in the world are the people who regularly have interactions with people they know nothing about”. I’ve been using the site filmot.com [http://filmot.com] to search the transcripts for permutations of words I think might be in the actual quote, with no results so far. I think it might be in Zizians Part 1 or one of the other cult-related episodes. It’s an important quote to me and I want to have easy access to it.
