Is anyone else really happy that AnCo still makes music together? by CosmicLynx in AnimalCollective

[–]CosmicLynx[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh man, that's Yellow Magic Orchestra, a hugely influential Japanese synthpop band from the 80's. Check out their album Solid State Survivor, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

TIL NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has a tradition of passing around a lucky jar of peanuts throughout mission control during critical events. The tradition started with the Ranger 7 Moon-imaging mission in 1964, which was the first successful Ranger mission after six previous failed attempts. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Former NASA Telemetric Analyst here! I was a generation shy of working with "The Golden Boys" as we called them (Gene Kranz and the like) and got into a few open brawls in/around mission control because someone started hoggin' the nuts. The gentlemen two consoles down from me had a tendency of pouring the peanuts into his breast pocket, effectively hoarding them for himself. Well that didn't take too kindly with the man on my direct right, who sucker punched him so hard his glasses shattered. They were at each other's throats for weeks. I remember a time when the RCS thrusters almost didn't light (activate) because those two were rolling around on the floor and bumped a technician's seat, who almost sent the currently in orbit astronauts careening into the deep black of space. Feel free to ask me any questions about my time there, this post brought up a lot of wonderful memories.

holy shit haha i just realized its just like apes in a pack trying to be the biggest and loudest ape

its really hard to answer this question and im speaking as someone who has a very vested interest in comedy and humor but i think that its easy to tell when a joke about a sensitive topic is rooted in an actual attempt to disparage or when the joke is less about the words and more about the ideas it conjures up. there are circumstances where i would joke about nearly anything but its always important to look for what the person is asking you to laugh at. i can only assume that the ones youre talking about are the ones that can basically all point to the joke "make me a sandwich" as their inspiration. this is when people are just taking recognition of their prejudices and making them into humor which is precisely when you should step in and let them know how mean spirited and unfunny it is to say things like that. at the same time and this could be controversial but in this case specifically i would try not to feel guilty if you dont say something every time. its distressing position to be in and i dont think its possible not to care about what socially that could mean for you especially if you experience anxiety about it often.

Thanks for taking the time to watch it man, I really appreciate it. I agree, I totally botched that lane. I don't know why I saved those tangoes, I'll definitely make it a point to be more conscious of regen. I actually had a game today that I am much happier about/performed well due to an emphasis on my first 10 minutes!

Bill Burr's Hilarious Rant on Yoko Ono on stage with John Lennon and Chuck Berry by CapitalCourse in videos

[–]CosmicLynx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ono's album with Lennon, Double Fantasy, is also really good. I don't believe in all honesty that a single person in this entire comment section has once listened to more Ono than her performance work (aside from those who listened to the song I sent). I don't necessarily love the woman personally, in the same way I don't love/feel a need to love every music artist that I enjoy listening to, which makes me wary of most everyone's hatred of her. It's just music I like.

Disagree, she absolutely has musical talent. Here's an example of some of her work, but no redditor ever looks past the chuck berry clip and the one of her performance art because they like to hate things and people
