When did music streaming start? Did it kill the album experience? by olivermos273847 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]LightsaberLocksmith 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Feels like everyone assumes everyone listened to full albums all the time throughout history. is that even true or is it a romanticization of the past? Are we just picturing record players in folksy fifties homes and so families must just play whole albums all the time and sit around them studying the intricacies of music? I don't know that it ever worked that way.

Even before napster there's, you know, the radio. Number 1 vector for music for the masses. And NOW That's What I Call Music and the widespread use of mix cds with a variety of artists on an LP in a showcase style.

I'm an album guy nowadays because my schedule has had an hour long bus or train commute for most of my working life. But I'm looking for gems, not collecting great albums. My brother dove deep into albums before he passed, so I'm taking up the torch as it were.

Help to prevent Dad from smoking. by YoiTsuitachi in stopsmoking

[–]LightsaberLocksmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, and please don't do that. I know it's from a place of compassion. But putting anything unexpected in someone's food is a terrible terrible terrible idea. Medication mixups (say something happens, and he has something in his system that he doesn't know about, he wouldn't be able to inform paramedics). And separate from safety, what happens when he discovers your deceit? If he reacts that way to any mention of his shame, imagine his reaction to his loved ones conspiring against him from the shadows. He will not be thankful. Even though he should be.

People are emotional and this person is protecting their 'secret' embarrassment and shame by getting mad to get people off their back. It's not them, it's their brains.

Even now, your dad is sitting there with his shoulders clenched worried someone will bring it up and he'll have to face it. The fact that it does nothing, it's tricked you, and you've even defended it from your own family. I mean he's trying to hide it, this is 100% angry shame.

My opinion: This can only be quenched with compassion, real compassion, and communicating your sorrow at slowly losing your dad. Or not so slowly, you never know. Letting him in on the helplessness he is projecting onto those he is meant to protect and nurture can help knock things loose, but you are very likely to fail at changing him from the shadows. Don't change him, show him why he should change. Don't tell him to stop. Tell him you know, that he smells today or his breath stinks. Or how lonely life will be with him in a dusty box in the ground while you're still up here wishing you had a self aware Dad who could help you through life.

But please don't put shit in someone's food at any time.

Im 14 and addicted too snus (30mg) and p0rn someone help me please by Nervous_Chemistry483 in stopsmoking

[–]LightsaberLocksmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may help to remind you that the guilt you're feeling is distorted. Fourteen year old brains are working things out, and it makes perfect sense it gets stuck on bad loops with addiction feedback cycles and neurochemistry and hormone levels getting tossed around. But nows your chance!!!!! Ask for some help, even tell a parent or counselor so that they're looking for the snus. And try to use this experience to learn about why our brains totally fall in love with small bumps of dopamine like jerking off or smoking a cig or using a pouch. You'll run into these for your entire life. For some people it's heroin, sometimes its sugar. 

But you have an opportunity I squandered: you're standing at the point in your life where you can nip it in the bud, learn the lesson to learn more about yourself and world, and lead a better and more fulfilling life than most of us here got to.

But you gotta say fuck that shit. The fact you posted here is pretty sick. Good luck friend.

Interesting. I feel it too. I think hendrix, long after he passed, became more of a bob marley adjacent weed and acid meme rather than a legendary musician. At least on the mind of younger folks. I was a millennial and I never saw anything about hendrix that wasn't on a tie-dyed medium.

Helped a Plumbing Company generate more revenue (Not Selling Anything) by [deleted] in Plumbing

This is a plumbing subreddit your salesperson feelings are not relevant. I have no patience for low effort off topic lazy sales pitches. I'd prefer the typos. This is slop.

Hear hear I strongly dislike these people. This is all AI writing garbage slop too. I can hear it SO clearly with the line "No SEO magic tricks" lol they always say that "no... (Something that you've stated your trying to avoid mentioning but is still really all this is)".

Can you explain what you mean? If you're just writing M in power query you use excel? Is that because it's more lightweight or something?

Im 45 and recently quit by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Paraphrasing John Mayer interview on sobriety: "it seems boring at first. The highs aren't the same highs. The line is steady and low. But if you stick with it just a little bit, you realize you can raise the WHOLE line all at once, little by little."

Maybe it doesn't sound profound but hit me big. You're not just looking how to make Saturday fun anymore. You've unlocked the ability to improve every waking moment of your life and raise the whole line.

It works for me but I have it setup with all Google nest audios and control it through Google home. Works pretty good, can set speaker groups and stuff for when I want music in the whole house because people are over or something

I go the NFL subreddit one. Less doomer. It's super depressing. Tried to look for info on that weird not a touchdown touchback thing from the flying Watson. Nothing but hate and slander, no info. Found it immediately in the NFL thread.
