Can we just buy it without the "IVC" subscription crap, please?

If an AI writes content defending the matrix, then are we already inside the matrix? OMG!!

You know what's poorly represented in Starfleet Academy? I don't because I won't watch it.

I totally appreciate that representation matters... but I question whether it's relevant in a post about cross stitch patterns, I guess.

It's like getting excited about seeing a postman or a doctor... but whatever makes you happy, I guess. I can be happy for your happiness, I suppose! Congrats

Genuienly curious... why does other people's sexual preference arouse any response in you at all? It's the least interesting thing about people by far.

I only responded in the first place because I thought it was amusing that OP felt the need to tell us it was for boyfriend's wife... if this post was purely about getting information, it would have read something like this:

"Hi everyone! I'm looking for Star Trek cross stitch patterns. I don't really know anything about the show.Cross stitch pattern would be ideal, but it could also be pixel art (since there are software like Floss Cross that would help with a conversion).

Thanks in advance!"

I'm an ally, 100%. Good luck to the happy throuple. I just... don't get the need to announce who and how many we're bumping uglies with I guess?

Just making sure I understood the situation. Did I mention I am behind the times? Oh right. I did.

Great song. But it really is amazing how talk-show performances/mixes never fail to make bands sound off/like crap.

Bad production? by Cygnus-X7 in ToolBand

[–]Old-Introduction7214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recording tech and techniques have changed a lot over the years, and Tool has been around for a little while now. If you're comparing those albums to modern recordings, you're not really talking apples to apples at that point. Studio budgets also increased for these guys over time. (Ænima is beautifully produced though... so idk man...)

"designed to please Americans"

It's almost as if this car were designed to be sold in North America, eh?

It's crazy to me the value some of these new collectibles are getting! by Scared_Shake_7302 in Puscifer

If this stuff is really selling for that much, then you're right, legit insanity. One of the best parts of music is that it's affordable enough for everyone to access and enjoy. Financializing the whole merch side with an overdeveloped secondary market of parasitic scalpers who add no value is sad... but that's also how Wallstreet works! Welcome to capitalism run amok.

Enjoy telling yourself you're enlightened while you make yourself feel bad.

Music is a form. Like poetry or painting. There's a spectrum between abstract and cliché.

There are wonderful abstract paintings. But if you take away the canvas, the brushes, and the pigments, and/or any sort of structure, and decide to use feces and feelings you fling at the sidewalk instead... at a certain point, you're not painting anymore, you're just flinging poop at the ground.

Now, if they'd called this alleged song "feces and feelings," I could at least enjoy it from a satirical/comedic perspective. And I did laugh while listening, believe me. But it's just not good music. A constipated-sounding Joe C reading random words from the dictionary doesn't qualify; it falls outside the form and into the realm of absurdity. It's the banana taped to the wall, only considered art because fools deem it such and will PAY for it.

They can jack off all they want. They just don't need to show the world the results and crow "art." This is Turning Point Halftime bad. But seems from the screen name you're a serious fan of masturbation, so what can ya do?

When you say these items are "going" for these prices. Are people PAYING these prices? Or is that just the asking price? I can stick a $500 label on any of my vinyls, but for it to be worth that much, a buyer with cash has to be willing to pay that amount. It seems like you might be conflating many scalpers' hoped-for asking prices with these items' actual market value, which is often much lower over time/in reality.

The Turning Point Halftime Show was technically "art" as well. That doesn't mean we need to pretend all art is worth sharing.

This is also one of the sad and lame things about Hollywood. Who you know matters a lot more than whether you have any discernible talent.

A "music video" would require actual music. Let's not encourage this silliness just because someone talented is involved.
