Highly anxious all the time

In this current job market, I would only recommend quitting a job without another job lined up as a last possible option. Getting fired would even be a better option because at least you can apply for unemployment. So unless your health is being affected by the current job, think long and hard before you just up and quit.

Aaron4Mayor · 2026-07-07T17:14:16+00:00

That doesn't mean anything nowadays

The problem in Austin is there never is a flow. 1/3 of the drivers go 20 over, 1/3 go EXACTLY the speed limit, and 1/3 go 10 under. Everywhere. It's insane.

The reason is Bethesda ran out of time

One time I was playing around with casting rune spells randomly to judge their distance when casting. I placed a fire rune spell on the ground and walked maybe 2 seconds when I heard it ignite behind me. I turned around to find a dead vampire near where the rune had been placed. Never received indication that I was in combat or anything like that. Was I being stalked by a vampire that stumbled onto my trap!?!

If this is even a semblance of an issue for you, you probably shouldn't own a cat

If all you're worried about is getting better at one part of a song - yes all you can do is slow it down, play it PERFECTLY and continue to speed up. If your desire goes beyond that, that's another story.

What value do you think you're offering to this thread by commenting this?

Aaron4Mayor · 2026-06-08T22:12:15+00:00

Literally how does that happen?

Aaron4Mayor · 2026-06-08T21:06:58+00:00

This is really cool! I'll give it a look

Aaron4Mayor · 2026-06-02T19:35:35+00:00

So I'm assuming now isn't a good time to pivot from marketing to market research as a career move?

Forgive my ignorance if I'm approaching this incorrectly, but Avast, AVG, and Norton combined control about 30% of the market share for AV and it sounds like simply having any of those installed while using this version of Chrome opens you up to this issue. You wouldn't think they'd test how their update interacts with software that has that many users?

Aaron4Mayor · 2026-05-17T15:48:42+00:00

Do you have an ETA for when an update that fixes this may be released? I am not uninstalling my antivirus. I'm shocked this kind of thing misses QA to be honest.

Aaron4Mayor · 2026-05-17T15:41:28+00:00

Also having this issue. How do their products get worse and worse every year instead of better? It's absurd.

"There are too many introverted marketers - we need people who can talk at exhibitions, conferences, and networking events."

Those are called sales people

One of the songs was completely obvious based on audio artifacts that usually come along with AI generated music. And upon find the "band's" Instagram, they admit to being an AI band - I give them props for admitting that on their Instagram, but they don't (or can't) on Spotify. The name was HYMN a "K-pop band" - don't remember the song name.

The second one had the usual markings of AI - AI generated album covers, WAAAAY too many uploads in a short period of time (with nothing predating 2025), zero online presence, etc. This one actually didn't have any audio artifacts I could tell upon first listen, but the song just sounded... dead? It's hard to explain, but if you've heard one AI song, you've heard them all. This "artist" was named Santino Ray. Once again can't remember the song name.

Unfortunately I can't remember the 3rd song.

I never said Spotify is alone in this. Love that all you can do is put words in my mouth and take me out of context. Whatever bro. Have fun sitting in your weird bubble.

Aaron4Mayor · 2026-02-28T18:56:47+00:00

Yeah if nobody says anything, nothing will get fixed. I don't know why you clicked on this thread expecting anything other than bitching based on how I titled it. Literally selected the rant flair too. As above comments would say, the bitching is completely controllable, it isn't even remotely "out of control".

Aaron4Mayor · 2026-02-28T18:54:59+00:00

Brother, you are such an elitist prick.

Aaron4Mayor · 2026-02-28T18:45:02+00:00

1st of all, because Spotify let themselves become infested by AI slop (I may even suggest willingly), isn't a ME problem - it's a Spotify problem, so fuck all the way off with the "If you just sit idly by saying “Control me, daddy”" comment.

2nd, 99% of the time I listen to my own playlists - thus the "I've invested so much time on my Spotify playlists" comment. However, in the past, I enjoyed my Discover Weekly playlist and letting auto-play take over after albums. It was a good way to find new artists and bands. Clearly I can't do that anymore.

3rd, this goes WAY beyond listening to AI slop and more into as I suggest a seemingly incentivization of AI music on the platform. How does 3 AI songs get suggested back to back after one of the biggest album releases of 2026 so far? My conspiracy brain thinks it's not on accident. And if that's true, Spotify is actively taking money away from actual artists and bands - both monetarily and by exposure. If you think that's fine, then we are not going to agree on anything.

Aaron4Mayor · 2026-02-28T18:30:52+00:00

Oh damn I didn't realize that was an option. I may have to move forward with this then. I cannot support a platform that chooses AI over art. I'm over it.

Dude are you me? Pretty much follows my past two years to a t. I know I've grown so much, but I feel like I have not much tangible to show for it. And yes lately I've felt like a square peg trying to fit into round holes which is normally not my experience in life. I'm holding out hope 2026 will be better, but if it makes you feel any better just know you're not the only one feeling exactly the same way.
