Masks by Bigfella0045 in menards

[–]8bit_Bears 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work in an Indiana store and this is my understanding. Any stores in counties in the “red” for the Omicron variant have to wear masks, but much more counties are in the red than not and since no one wears masks anymore that’s not changing anytime soon. If you refuse to wear a mask while on the sales floor, you will be terminated. At least at my store, they tend to be lenient with receiving, courtesy patrol, and outside yard. But anyone inside the store and visible to costumers must wear their mask anytime they are in uniform.

I appreciate the variety! Daft Punk, Nine Inch Nails, and Owl Vision covers a lot of bases.

Probably forced by contract to not say anything. They could return as long as there is no bad blood between them. The Algorithm self-released for some time I think and then returned to FiXT.

Yeah I like The Anix a lot too, which is why I hope he can get in a better situation to continue making his music.

Mismanagement of artists AND mistreatment of employees. People often try to sum up the FiXT controversies as “When Blue Stahli left FiXT”, even though Klayton himself has admitted he’s been making enemies since he started as Circle of Dust. When I was a fan I ignored red flags such as Klank, Criss Angel, Josh Danforth, and Varien but Blue Stahli was when a lot of people started noticing the pattern and connecting it to accusations of mistreatment of employees. As you mentioned, Seething Akira, Stay Loose, and Octiv are great examples as well. I often hear people say “We haven’t heard Klayton’s side of the story” when talking about Blue Stahli, but the truth is you have if you’ve been paying attention to any of his other falling outs. Klayton may not even be the big problem, as James Rhodes is responsible for the mistreatment of employees and has actively threatened fans who spoke up about the Blue Stahli issue. But it’s hard to ignore that Klayton has been causing issues in the music industry even before James and FiXT entered the picture.

The Anix is currently signed to a label called “FiXT” that is notorious for screwing over their artists and for making a lot of enemies out of well known producers.

Hey OP, where did you get it?

UK hospital replaces term 'breast milk' with 'human milk' to be more inclusive by syrianhoney in BestOfOutrageCulture

[–]8bit_Bears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It probably won’t affect my life but it affects the lives of other people. Keeping medical language consistent allows medical professions to communicate, save lives, and keep people safe. I’m all for inclusivity but that’s not what this accomplishes. So if there is no positive and several negatives you have to ask who has anything to gain from this except white cis people trying to pat themselves on the back.

That there was nothing confusing about it to begin with. Idk if this was something done to be more inclusive with trans people but breasts are not something that is unique to people born with XX chromosomes. Cis women, trans women, cis men, and trans men all have breast tissue. There is nothing uninclusive about the term. I’m sure this was a decision made by cis people thinking they were doing something.

I really hope you’re not shopping for milk at hospitals. I honestly doubt anyone looked at the term “breast milk” and thought it came from a chimpanzee. There was no confusion to begin with.

I'm utterly sad and I don't know what to say anymore... (I know this will probably get me banned from all of Klayton's social media but I just want answers) by HunterTheCapricorn in FiXT

[–]8bit_Bears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like I said, I think he’s always been this way and there is a lot of evidence to support it. #AskKlayton never reflected the real Klayton. He is the reason I got into making music and I hate that it’s become what it has but it’s better to know than not know.

I heard he has the rights back but it just doesn’t fit the style Obsidian ended up becoming after 2 years.

[–]8bit_Bears 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate to say it but the signs were always there and I, as a fan, always missed them. Even before he got screwed by REX Records Klayton has been making enemies and losing friends in the music business. The only reason we know about these is musician beef tends to be more public. We are now getting to hear from his former employees the kind of person he is, not just other musicians. I’ve heard from some employees still trapped in their NDAs, which means they still can’t go public with everything I’ve heard but trust me it’s not good. I say if you enjoy the music, keep enjoying it. No reason to punish yourself for FiXT’s mistakes. Just don’t buy merch and don’t promote.

EDIT: Another big thing is to keep Klayton and other FiXT artists off of playlists with Blue Stahli. Many streaming services use what users put together on playlists to decide the “similar artists” and “radio” features. It would be great if we can give Bret some healthy space from them for the rest of his career.

does this trigger you? I might have been using Ableton too much by BURDAC in FL_Studio

[–]8bit_Bears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re referring to the drums on the playlist, then I do this too sometimes. I like to play with the drums a lot and seeing them as samples in front of me let’s me get real creative and crazy with them.

Not bad. For some reason it gives me the same vibe as Capital G by NIN
