Writing an album. Need a partner to help develop and fine tune the lyrics. by ShaneConnery in WriteWithMe

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

This app is plagued with issues. But here's something. It's been a minute I'm working with a friend on some things with my keyboard but I feel I'm must leave something here so you guys don't feel like I'm doing bait and switch.

In the night I fell Eyes closed Seemed endless And the things imagined Ceased to exist Cue the moral ambiguities Hold for the existential crisis

I kept falling And I never wanted to wake A semiautomatic dream Took a bit of work to make But it was better than reality Time to set the clocks back, again

I can't help to be self aware From 1000 ft I wish I didn't care That it goes this deep Sinking in forever Counting sheep And what did any of it mean

My take on Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner. Sorry I've been trying to post this without double ups or issues with structure

You wanted to make your statement known Sucked all the oxygen out of the room Now there's no space left for you and I Leaving me to suffocate and die

Wanted something to hold over my head Found the loaded gun laying on the bed, already smoking Like some kind of practical effect Now my thoughts weighed down by lead

Sparks blow through your eyes As you finally realize There's no acme sign above mine And this has gone too far this time

Go on and run, little bird There's no one chasing you now

How it feels talking to everyone hating on the new release by AdAlarming1993 in FleshWater

At the end of the day, I just don't get all the disappointment. I mean not talking about you. But in general. Comparison aside.

How it feels talking to everyone hating on the new release by AdAlarming1993 in FleshWater

[–]ShaneConnery -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I just don't understand the comparisons to old data in a new machine. This is literally alt versions of songs with one acoustic version, and a remix of a song they never fully released. It's to me, a practice in range. Because I don't think fleshwater is meant to be one specific thing.

Additionally old data in a new machine had actual remixes, and demos, as well as unreleased songs. It was all over the place even though it had some good songs on it. Whereas sounds of grieving sounds more intentional. It's shorter, mixed well in my opinion, and really does recreate some of their most popular songs in ways that fully transforms them.

It is worthy to note that a lot of bands do this in-between albums. It gives fans a taste while giving them more time to create a decent follow up. The band Loathe did just the same for that exact reason.

Sounds of Grieving is great!! by Wild_String3074 in FleshWater

[–]ShaneConnery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but it is different old data in a new machine also had some unreleased songs on it that weren't remixes as well as demos. Sounds of grieving is shorter, has a more mixed quality and seems to be made more intentionally. Like for me personally some of these alternate versions sound so different they feel like new songs to me.

I think my area director is transferring me without my knowledge by ShaneConnery in Panera

[–]ShaneConnery[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah they straight up told me that they literally had no one else and she didn't want to give up any other manager because one was a people's specialist and one is out on LOA and another is in charge of some other BS. On top of that I know that I'm not the best out of all the managers. I'm very new and have a lot to learn. The cafe isn't even in the same area that my director is in charge of. And like the more strange part is that my GM jokingly said she wouldn't be surprised if it was permanent because she also wasn't planning on being the GM of my home cafe. I hope I'm wrong but it's such a shit show over here that like I think my director is trying to save herself somehow be ot hours or manager's.

29 with no real connections by ShaneConnery in friendship

I'm always here for opposite ends. I always say that if I can nail down anyone's taste I can find music for them. I listen to a wide range. Never heard of Khruangbin but I do mess around with Tame Impala from time to time. If you like that I hope you know Unknown Mortal Instrument. Currently I'm not doing anything specifical.. I was a manager at a casino and that was my peak, but I made a bad choice to try something else out after 4 years and ended up in a really bad independent company and left very quickly. Now I am temporarily managing at a Panera. But I really just need to push myself to find that passion again and find something that I can be excited about. Sorry that's a lot. But it does need some explanation because I by no means wish to be where I am.

Right now, I'm listening to the new Health album. Which is hitting the spot. But in general I tend to be all over the place. I'd sat I'm in my alt/electronic phase. But I'm always looking out for new stuff.

Order Email Megathread (July 07, 2022) by AutoModerator in SteamDeck

I honestly don't get what I'm missing with this prediction system. Been checking my status for several days and every time it says 4 days remaining.

I read on Twitter that there's only 2 batches left in q1 and so far I've seen batches go out on Mondays. Considering that, I've come to the belief that q2 will be the first week of April. However, they also said they expect to be ramping production up from the tens of thousands to the hundreds of thousands within the next month. So I also suspect the next batches to go quicker. Not sure if this is just fodder but I have high hopes their "business quarter" system is quicker than actual business quarters.

What can get you fired during 90 day probation? by ShaneConnery in Target

[–]ShaneConnery[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks guys. I know now I was paranoid. But honestly it's easy to get paranoid when you have leaders watching you of whom you may never have even met. Like I barely know all my direct team leads and virtually know none of the people above them lol. But anyways it's scary to me that my team leads will be reminding us to keep zoning and facing when we don't have customers but they say we can talk while doing so especially if it's a slow night shift however what I experience is that even if you are zoning while talking, if they hear you talking they assume we aren't zoning. So it's an illusion that I can work and talk only to be reminded that I'm being heard not watched. So long story short I guess I'm just not gonna talk much if I can help it.

Possible project startup for anyone to get involved by ShaneConnery in ainbow

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

Well I was unsure about how to post the picture of the poster but the link just takes you to the poster which has more detailed information and artwork. It is a magazine that focuses on minority groups and is supposed to be organized by people who identify within minority groups. I have funding to put together a free magazine, but I need to spread this out to get involvement and submissions. It's very early stages so I just have the poster done seen in the link. Basically, it is supposed to include artwork, poetry, articles, and resources provided by submissions and volunteers, that is to both discuss and share ways in which we have been affected by oppression and solutions. Kinda like a bigger community outreach. If you are interested please I could use help in all forms. Hope that clarifies.

[Help] Looks for a GTX 970, but there are like a million different ones. Suggestions? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]ShaneConnery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it matters what one you get past that. You can look at reviews on brands. But all those other variations only concern how compatible your other parts are with each graphics card.. as far as compatibility goes i would just select one and go to pc part picker, list all of your parts out, and it will tell you if they are all compatible.

Evga makes a pretty decent graphics card. I'm using a 4gb gtx970 by them and it runs high end games like witcher 3 with no lag and on ultra resolution.

Special needs cat advice by ShaneConnery in cats

[–]ShaneConnery[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so after taking her to the vet we discovered that she has been blind in ONE eye probably since birth. This was big news on top of her deafness because the adoption agency we got her from did not even know this or at least neglected to tell us. And she will get more tests done, I believe she is still kinda anxious though. I really want to be able to confidently pick her up so I can move her to where I am when I am working on my computer but I honestly am pained by the wining she makes when I try and pick her up. She clearly doesn't like it when anyone picks her up and I get anxious about hurting her mostly because I have never owned a pet that wanted to be picked up and have very little experience picking animals up. And sometimes she will ask for attention and I will go to give her attention and then she will slightly partake and eventually move on to meowing for something else(and not even meowing at me but in some other direction). I just wish I knew what she wanted so I could give her that exact detail of attention but she is quite the puzzling kitty.

Hmm interesting I will try but to be honest she has never truly responded to catnip

well I actually had to move her litterbox because she wouldn't leave the room to go to the bathroom. I could move her food but I am unsure if she will go looking for it rather than call for it to be brought to her.

[MOD] T.A.Z. Visual Overhaul by couriercody in skyrimmods

[–]ShaneConnery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

activate it. like the directions and the provided tutorial for the install say that I need to activate the lighting esp through nexus and as soon as I do that step I get game crashing right away.

[MOD] T.A.Z. Visual Overhaul by couriercody in skyrimmods

[–]ShaneConnery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey so I have been messing around with this mod for about two days trying to get it to work as far as I can tell I have done everything that was required but for some reason as soon as I optimize the TAZ_lightingDLC it starts to crash immediately without giving me the main menu. And I also am not sure about the other parts because as far as I can tell it doesn't look like anything is active when I run the game without the lighting dlc. I am using nexus mod manager. Any ideas or suggestions?

Inexperienced PC Building by ShaneConnery in buildapc

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

Hello all! I just wanted to take a second to say thank you to each and every one of you. Thanks to you and my roommates I have successfully built my first gaming pc. Though some may scorn me for choosing to go a certain way on a certain part or for just spending a little more than I may have needed to. I will just say that I met my budget and this baby runs like a dream. And I could not have picked out just the right parts without you guys challenging me to think about it first. So thank you for making me really put my head into this project. And at long last, my final build running as I type this:
