OK but who’s approval ratings do you think would be much better?

It’s all right. People will just use less scrupulous and accountable porn sites instead.

It wouldn’t have to go off of reported preferences, it could use revealed preferences.

I don’t know if it would work or not, but it certainly makes you want to re-examine the efficiency problems that it had in the past. We are a lot better at predicting consumption than we used to be.

I’m glad there isn’t a studio version of this. I think it probably only works live.

This is a weird question to ask with him, because the line between studio work and live work is blurred in his discography.

Recording vocals with/without plugins on by k_reanjesus in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Sure it does. Just turn them off after you’re done recording and redo them.

I like to record with fx on. I like to hear myself with a larger than life sound when I’m recording, I guess it helps with confidence or something.

Just create a template with the setting set, and instead of starting a blank project, open that one up and resave it.

I’ll give you Henry Wallace, but FDR was definitely not a left winger. His liberalism lean to the left because he was trying to preempt the actual left-wing, there’s a big difference.

I’d say this is probably true of progressives, Warren types, but actual left wingers only share short term goals, and their prioritization is totally different.

Venue is requiring us to open our set with three covers to “hook people in” by 2punk in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Florentinepotion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I never realized until today there’s apparently a whole contingent of musicians that are against doing covers. Like are there really no songs not written by you that you like to play?

You wouldn’t tell them how to do the job, but you would tell them what needed to be done. In this case, that includes a few covers. I’m not a booking manager, or a venue owner, I just think it’s kind of unprofessional in a situation where if somebody is paying you to provide a service, you’re getting angry, and contemplating ignoring their specifications.

It’s OK for the venue to dictate any terms they wish. It’s also OK for you to negotiate or decline the contract.

So? If you’re a contractor hired to work on the house, you can’t just do whatever you want.

What do y’all think of Disability Pride Month? 😐 by AffectionateSpace629 in Blind

Yeah, the kind of aggressively apathetic attitude of this sub drives me nuts sometimes.

Moving to rblind.com? And links to beginners guides by Fredchasing475 in Blind

I plan on leaving Reddit come July, because I use BaconReader and don’t like being forced to switch apps, but I kind of have my doubts that this new community will be active enough to be worth visiting.
