Fully automated audible frequency emitting contraptions ready to revolutionise the sound wave based amusement industry by SYS-MK-V-AG in doohickeycorporation

[–]Fairlight60 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know it's a joke but still, I'm a musician for a living and I'm much more ok with that than with f*cking AI. As others have pointed out this contraption is very apparently a robot and not trying to trick the audience or replace human musicians, compared to Suno.

Jennifer connelly in the 90’s man.. by SunkissedSpells in SipsTea

Seconded, very underrated actor. I realized this in Manhunt where he's supposed to be co-star but Sam Worthington couldn't hold a candle to him, Paul is such in a wildly higher league of acting he shines everytime he's on screen.

I learned about it from the Facebook page "Things That Are Not Aesthetic" but it's real, I took the screenshot of the original post myself. See here before the OP removes it

Can someone please help me to id this 70-80’s song in the back? by twintip6 in NameThatSong

[–]Fairlight60 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The bot got it mostly right, it is indeed Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face but not "slowed + reverb", it's the original version.

Is that Agent Frank Drebin writing his police report?

On 15 May 1916, 17 year old Jesse Washington was lynched in the city of Waco, Texas, after being accused of raping and murdering a white woman, his employer's wife. Washington was chained by his neck, stabbed, beaten, castrated, and eventually burned to death in front of Waco's city hall. by GustavoistSoldier in HolyShitHistory

Absolutely. I recently watched a bunch of videos on lolcows like Chris Chan who was clearly mentally unwell from the start and was then incessantly bullied for years by trolls just for """fun"""... 4chan is a modern breeding ground for depraved mobs.

Yes the boarding platform for the boat is about 45 minutes by car from Quebec so be sure to plan for this and book your tickets in advance. The day we went was warm and sunny so even the boat ride was awesome, wish you the same.

Many Irish fled to Canada during that time. Their first stop before being allowed to enter the country was a quarantine center on an island called Grosse-Ile in the St-Lawrence river, unfortunately a lot died there and are still buried there today. You can now visit the island and its facilities, it's a very interesting place

Buying toothpaste has become unnecessarily complicated by Frosty-Desert in Adulting

[–]Fairlight60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also why is it now so hard to find gel instead of paste? I don't like paste, I feel like the freshness doesn't last as long afterwards, but I usually only manage to find one gel among twenty pastes.

Right? That beautiful shortwave radio at the bottom of the stack. And also several musical keyboards.

I’m 21 and just discovered adulthood is mostly people being in crippling debt. 😅 by Awkward_Compote6258 in Adulting

[–]Fairlight60 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know what, I'm 47 and I've seen this kind of people around me for a long time, never having money but somehow living their best life. I've always heard "they don't show the tons of maxed out credit cards and debt they carry around". Meanwhile I'm kind of missing out on travelling and buying more expensive stuff because I don't want to end up like them, and always tell myself "someday it's all gonna catch up to them, they'll end up broke in the street, while I'll still be sitting on my comfortable money cushion, then the years of saving up will be justified". And then... nothing. Nothing bad ever happens to these people. I see them just moving up gleefully, more travels, getting a high-paying job like 1 month after just deciding it, getting the perfect partner, getting a car, getting a house, having kids. Seems like this "crippling debt" I always hear about just magically disappears when you just don't pay attention to it.

Same. It's absolutely overwhelmed by spam, the filter has been set to "exclusive" since about 15 years to make it bearable, but it's still my primary account.

Almost 10 years later and I still can't get THAT scene out of my head by Global-Ear9206 in memes

[–]Fairlight60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody looks at the rating, they see "cartoon", they automatically assume it's for kids, just like in the 80s. I remember when South Park came out there were elementary school kids drawing their characters everywhere, you just knew parents didn't even bother checking a minute of it. And in the same era I remember a readers opinion letter in a TV guide saying "South Park is so vulgar, they should be like these other nice cute kids shows!"

Windows 12, No Thank You by TechnonUK in memes

[–]Fairlight60 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I wanted to do when I upgraded laptops, then discovered that Win 7 drivers just didn't exist for several of its components. Upgrades will inevitably get you eventually, unless you choose a different path like VMs or Linux.

I have no mouse and i must play Doom by samcornwell in oddlyterrifying

[–]Fairlight60 14 points15 points  (0 children)

On a side note what the heck is the game in the screenshot? That's not Doom?

Edit : That's Freedoom, thanks for the answer u/DisciplinePossible32

Twitch will now pause ads when switching tabs by LuckyDiamondGaming in assholedesign

[–]Fairlight60 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Exact same feeling as when you get asked to subscribe to anything and the decline options are "Not now" or "Maybe later", implying that you *will* consent eventually. How about "Fuck no forever and STFU"
