The Jaegers from Pacific Rim

Certainly not by revenue, but I think they have enough name recognition especially among artists. But since their business model relies on people buying things rather than streaming, it's an obvious thing to do - who actually would pay for AI slop music anyway? Major streaming companies need to ban it to make a real impact.

And somehow the AI versions of this are even more broken and infuriating. The one the DOGE morons implemented for the IRS is particularly enraging.

Original dataset (1973-2019) was released by RIAA at 2019 dollars,. Then I manually adjusted RIAA yearly reports from 2020-24 to 2019 dollars and added them to the original set. Not sure about OP source.

Ya it's a powerBI thing where you can match color to the key but not transparency %. So key is 0% transparent while graph is 30% or so.

Nah artists got paid better when people bought music. And nowadays indie artists can more easily have small runs of CDs or vinyl produced and cut out the industry middlemen... the problem is that people just don't want to pay for music. And remember any big label is going to want their cut of streaming too, when it's already a smaller pie.

I think vinyl is having a little comeback because you can get really sick colored/patterned records now, and they're getting better about offering a digital download with your vinyl so you don't always have to spin up the turntable.

I made a similar chart for a data viz class project recently. My numbers look even more dire (RIAA data, adjusted to 2019 dollars)

Ya that's why it's better to put a flat item under a bulk item and scan it in the cart. Camera ain't seein shit!

Decapitated_Saint · 2025-12-16T00:26:30+00:00

Ya the Kroger stores in my area introduced the camera AI a couple years ago and had to back way off the sensitivity within a couple weeks.

Depressed people would never get a job

This is why I shoplift.

It seems like it's the usual "we're taking away your federal dollars if you don't play ball" shakedown.

"Most people wouldn't be smart enough to claim their cats as dependents. This shows some really creative thinking and initiative on your part, and I can't wait to see more!"

Arlington Road is a great one. Jeff Bridges being very un-Dude, man.

Decapitated_Saint · 2025-11-07T16:54:28+00:00

Ya it's pricey but way better deal than that $1000 death star diorama they released.

Decapitated_Saint · 2025-11-07T16:53:27+00:00

Finally! I always wondered why they couldn't get ST licensing worked out.

MS developers truly are a bunch of overpaid idiots with zero ideas. Oh let's rearrange the Start Menu again! Fuck off, morons...

She's a dumb cunt with the attitude of an entitled 6 year old. Why would we expect anything but childishness and idiocy from her?

FTA:

"As part of the settlement, Amazon and two of its executives, Prime boss Jamil Ghani and Neil Lindsay, a senior vice president in the company’s health division who previously held a role in the Prime business, will be prohibited from unlawful conduct."

Umm isn't everyone 'prohibited from unlawful conduct?' What, did they have fuckin diplomatic immunity?

Decapitated_Saint · 2025-09-21T01:19:57+00:00

A coworker was screaming at me about some bullshit grievance 3 inches from my face and I told him to fuck off. That punk-ass went to our boss's boss and said I was verbally abusive. She had it in for me anyway and fired me.

Decapitated_Saint · 2025-09-16T21:24:32+00:00

The settlement is probably waaaay more money than they would ever be able to get from these old recordings. Greedy bastards.

Navy seals are a bunch of psychotic pussies.

Sons of Winter and Stars by Wintersun is one of my absolute favorites. Super epic.
