But wait, there’s more:

99% of all arguments on the internet. Someone is almost always going to engage in some kind of pedantry, butwhatabout, technicality, argumentative fallacy, etc. to try to make themselves right and/or imply the OP was wrong in some way. They are not open to having their mind changed. Especially when it comes to politics, and there’s essentially no hope for religion at all. This generally applies to IRL discussions, too. At least the internet argument you can just walk away, block, or unsubscribe to any replies to the thread.

In the same vein…expecting anyone to change. People have to change themselves, and it’s not up to you. You can’t make it happen except maybe in the most extreme situations, and even then it might be iffy.

And I hate to say it, apologizing on the internet. Once the downvote train starts and shitting on the offender’s posts there’s almost no way out and any apology isn’t worth the effort. I find this kinda hypocritical seeing as there are numerous internet posts about the value of admitting you don’t know something or might have it wrong, and how we shouldn’t shame people for admitting that, yet if someone screws up and apologizes they’re usually hosed. Just reinforces not apologizing.

On his way home from a second or third job at food service that refused to close despite the storm and had no customers.

Run all the samples through a computer, write a prompt telling it to create music in the style of (x), and keep tweaking the prompt to reiterate the result until something desirable emerges. No skill or understanding of music required, just keep hitting “generate” or whatever until something gets spit out that sounds good.

Vs

Thousands of hours of music making experience, understanding of musical styles, lyric arrangement, composition, heck…even music theory and the ability to read and write musical notes…and take all of that and make something original that, with permission of the original artist, uses modified clips of others’ tracks.

Sampling isn’t the defining difference.

TIL.

IIRC mussels were “unclean”, so would that jive with the whole demonic sin thing?

Ah, had to scroll too far to find this one. It should be higher. The production quality and special effects are absolutely stunning for the era. The scenes where they’re walking around in Morbius’ giant machine are awesome. Blows my mind, underrated.

Nice job of building tension with the invisible monster. It’s also a solid movie despite the trope of “military men out on a lark fighting monsters, plus a hot chick.”

FX…omg haven’t thought of that movie in forever. Gotta do a rewatch.

This “high ph” garbage is such crap. A few years back people were chugging apple cider vinegar to acidify your blood or whatever BS that was.

Our bodies regulate themselves when it comes to ph, drinking water of a certain ph won’t change that. Just like drinking juices or sodas that have citric acid don’t mess it up. Alkaline water benefits are a myth.

But if it helps you drink more water instead of junk drinks, go for it.

ITT: I cannot believe the debate over hot dog size, bun size, and condiment application, lol.

There wasn’t as big of a price drop as I thought there would be when the crypto mining switched to ASIC from GPUs. Don’t know if all that hardware just got dumped or is sitting in a rack rotting somewhere. Hope that we get cheaper prices when the bubble pops, this artificial scarcity sucks.

Comprised of email addresses and passwords from previous data breaches,

So these are previously “hacked” data, and now the aggregator has been hacked?

AI crap. Infesting everything. Search of all kinds, photo management, telephone menus, who knows what else. And it does none of it well.

It’s absolutely a Nazi salute. I’m about 90% sure he did it the way he did just to stir the shit because he’s an attention seeking asshole wanting to be the main character. Only 10% remaining because he doesn’t think he’s a Nazi despite sharing a shitload of their fascist traits.

Comparison is the thief of joy.
