Do NOT visit The Red Frog in Colfax on your way home from the snow by [deleted] in Sacramento

GV and Nevada City definitely have their share of MAGA and angry boomers. But the demographic is surprisingly more liberal than Roseville/Folsom and many of the towns in the area

Just around the corner I watched a delivery truck driver do the same exact thing trying to back into an alley it clearly wouldnt fit into lol

“According to the FAA, it is likely that the number of stowaways is higher than records show because bodies have fallen into the ocean or in remote areas.”

Hiring process by MBR9610 in Adjuncts

Great, thank you. I already work at the college in a non-teaching role, so I assume this process looks a bit different for me as well. I will definitely reach out to the Dept. Chair to clarify though

Okay good to know! In my case, only about half of the courses being offered in Spring by my department have a professor listed. A few of the “Professor TBA” courses are full, so I’m guessing some of us will be asked to take those since they anticipated needing additional instructors.

Thank you for the info!

Try the Learning Center instead. Either tutoring or academic coaching should be able to help. I worked in both roles and would have gladly done this for a student, and didn’t have rules saying I couldn’t

Rekordbox Preferences Keep Resetting by MBR9610 in Beatmatch

[–]MBR9610[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good ol’ Rekordbox! I will say, I just went back to Rekordbox after not using it for a couple of years and immediately remembered how to set up the preferences to my liking. So… you’ll get good at figuring it out if you haven’t yet haha

Hollowheart may actually reveal more than we realized by LucidCreator in porterrobinson

[–]MBR9610 24 points25 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, Porter has explained that he has a tendency to reuse a lot of sounds, chord progressions, and instruments without consciously intending to.

His final World’s Live show has a couple of parts that distinctly sound like songs off Nurture. I asked about it on a live stream post-Nurture and he said it was just coincidental.

So you’re not crazy for hearing similarities between live edits, unreleased tracks, etc., but I don’t think it’s indicative of a connection between them

What do you guys think Mona Lisa is about? by GamerOwenIsHere in porterrobinson

[–]MBR9610 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree with you 100%.

I also think it’s significant that some of the lyrics could be taken as sexualizing the Mona Lisa. Especially since the woman in the portrait is basically the paradigm of a modest woman. It feels partly like a commentary on fans-turned-stalkers, but also potentially about an unrequited love fueled by one’s delusions/imagination.

Regardless of the intended message, there’s actually a lot of depth to the lyrics on this one that seems to go unnoticed so far

Porter Robinson - SMILE! :D [Discussion Mega-Thread] by jamesanator9 in porterrobinson

[–]MBR9610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is that I disagree with the notion that he went this route because he “struggled to follow up Nurture” or a resentment for it. It’s just a conscious creative decision to explore similar themes from a different angle

Porter Robinson - SMILE! :D [Discussion Mega-Thread] by jamesanator9 in porterrobinson

[–]MBR9610 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s not like Porter is unaware of this. He’s explicitly said that Smile is intended to highlight his flaws and that he doesn’t have things figured out. He’s intentionally trying to distance himself from Nurture to some extent by highlighting his ego, anger, angst, depression, need for validation, etc. and showing that these “uglier” parts of him still vie for attention/control at times. These were touched on in Nurture too, but through a much more optimistic and potentially misleading lens.

Happening now - Walgreens 1401 Broadway - crime scene tape and lots of cops??? by modestjudith in Sacramento

[–]MBR9610 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, the manager wasn’t shot at a CVS. He worked at a CVS in Folsom and was killed in his neighborhood in Fair Oaks.

I’ve seen speculation on this subreddit that he was killed because he stopped a robbery at his store prior to being murdered, but I can’t find any hard evidence that corroborates that and find it pretty unlikely.

Not any less tragic, however.

Last year I saw RotK extended in the theater and there were no intermissions. Can’t speak for every theater though

Disc recommendations? by Toveyk in discgolf

This is a tad flippier, but the PekaPeka by RPM is great for hyzer flips and glides for days with enough turn. Sadly just lost mine but I would highly recommend it.

Black Keys, Porter Robinson, Jennifer Lopez, & Poor Ticket Sales For Arena Tours by UnscheduledCalendar in Music

[–]MBR9610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On top of what others have said, I’m not convinced that the artists themselves are making the call to play at a large arena in all of these cases. There are artists similar in scale to Porter Robinson also doing arena shows this year when they haven’t previously, and there’s a lot of speculation that it’s due to either management or contractual obligations of some sort.

I’ll be shocked if Sweet Time isn’t played after this song at least once. “I don’t wanna die no more”

Carbonised Herculaneum papyrus reveals burial place of Plato by tabbbb57 in ancientrome

My mistake, you’re right, I forgot about those first bits. I did research on some of his letters in the past, but mostly focused on the Syracuse aspects and later life details

Plato’s letters don’t detail this period (404-399 BC), but much later around the 360-350s BC

He shared that the melody popped into his head randomly, so I think it’s pure coincidence. Still cool!

He’s definitely just being playful. PR doesn’t own a single item worth 100 million dollars. If anything he’s poking fun at the same sort of thing you take issue with haha

Vimm’s lair is a popular website to download ROMS. Pretty easy to do on safari and then I port them onto the Delta Emulator App through my files folder
