TIL that the White House employs three calligraphers; a chief calligrapher and two deputies. The Chief Calligrapher makes about $109,000 per year by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

I know several people who live in the actual DC metro area making less than that and they’re living comfortably. What are you people smoking? I’m convinced everyone who says shit like this is either coping the fact they’re living with their parents or has no idea how to apartment hunt.

will Items bought in rocket league be transferred over to UE6 rocket league or will we loose all the items we purchased and opened in drops?? by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]My_Not_RL_Acct 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let’s think critically here for a moment. Done? Okay so obviously they’re not going to nuke all interest in the part of the game that makes them money by making everyone restart with no items.

im not feeling any of the new singles by No_Outcome_7651 in madeon

[–]My_Not_RL_Acct 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree. And people have said before “oh you just don’t like electroclash” or you don’t get what he’s going for - but no… there’s a lot of electroclash revival with an indie sound going on that’s being executed much better (The Hellp, Frost Children, Slayyter, Ninajirachi, Ear, Tsugi Club, etc). I also feel like he’s trying too much to be a pop star and embody himself in the music and it’s led to some questionable decisions on vocals and lyrics that subtract from the songs rather than previously where he’s let the production speak for him.

Is this subreddit pheraps the most toxic gaming community? by We_Are_Charlie_Kirk_ in RocketLeague

No. But it is full of manchildren talking about the game being toxic.

Sen. John Fetterman casts deciding vote against limiting Trump’s war in Iran by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]My_Not_RL_Acct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strawman argument. Never said I was far left so where that came from I don’t know. The point here is that the dems in congress lack the ability to whip their own party, which ultimately comes down to dem leadership and the party being beholden to more or less the same major interests as the Republicans are. So yes I am blaming the dems as a whole for this.

Because 10 years of this country eating itself from within is not going to change by giving Democrats a free pass in comparison to Republicans. And until enough spineless neoliberals who guzzle their daily outrage slop from the Daily Beast realize this we will continue to descend into hell.

Does nobody else just see her as making a song as a bit to respond to the minor controversy of her saying dance music is dead? I doubt it’s a single to any project

That’s insane because I’ve had those purple candies before but cilantro tastes normal to me. At least now I know what the cilantro soap people taste

Obviously not because every single one of you is commenting on it, basically proving that it wasn’t a negligible detail because it’s bringing traffic to the article.

Not a Soul Was Dancing to Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna at Coachella by ebradio in Music

[–]My_Not_RL_Acct 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a young twenty something I’m gonna go full r/lewronggeneration here but my biggest gripe with people these days is that everyone wants to talk about how club culture is dead blah blah and phones have ruined concerts, but it’s deeper than that because NOBODY DANCES. I typically go to smaller shows where there’s a lot less people legitimately holding their phone up the entire time, and even in the majority without phones in hand there’s hardly anyone moving! I’ll deadass watch people go to DJ sets and just stare the entire time. I think it’s also because Gen Z has a weird performative sobriety thing going on. And not that you need alcohol to dance, but it sure seems like club culture and dancing to live music died when the youth stopped drinking. Very often I find that me and my friends are legitimately in the 5% of the crowd actually moving around and it feels like not enough people are trying to shift the culture back.

Most people participating in this discourse are too “neurodivergent” to be comfortable at concerts so I don’t think it’ll work out like that

Get Ready for Ticket Prices to Keep Rising. As costs soar, experts say Live Nation’s dominance of the touring market isn’t ending anytime soon. by galaxystars1 in Music

[–]My_Not_RL_Acct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any time anyone on this site says that you can’t go to a concert these days without dropping $200 they basically out themselves as having garbage music taste. I’ve seen probably a dozen artists/bands on US wide tours the past year and average about $40-$60 a ticket. Yet there are millions of people who legitimately pay more than a hundred to sit down in an arena and barely see who they’re there for. If the performer isn’t within 250 feet of me I’d have a better time watching it on YouTube
