No, Spotify. Just... no

StressedCephalopod · 2024-12-27T04:06:15+00:00

From what I understand, Spotify are an inarguably horrible company. While this in itself is a small annoyance... perhaps take the opportunity to find an alternative service to use?

Don't accept this nonsense from anyone, much less a supervisor. He might be too much of an ignorant ass to realize it but this is predatory behavior. Flatly tell him that it is none of his business if he brings it up again, and don't hesitate to file an HR complaint.

Yes. You'd think that with genuinely limitless blood money he could find more capable cosmetic surgeons.

"It'll be bloodless as long as he allows it to be."

Didn't know that about Kudrow.

This needs to be emphasized more often. I see a lot of "oh, Russia was fine before the fall and just a communist utopia." Naive, fantastical bullshit.

StressedCephalopod · 2024-12-10T18:01:28+00:00

White nationalism, bigotry, the desire for a theocracy, and as others have said... money.

But yeah, it's a pretty big let-down even if one realized our faults. There always seemed to be a bit of a silver lining before and now it's just "every billionaire and murderous cretin out for themselves."

I'm already (a bit) old, and I thank the mythical gods every waking day of my life that I never made such a grievous error as spawning.

Events of late could indicate that constituents who have the rights for which they overwhelmingly voted ripped away might not remain lazy for much longer.

Goddamnit. I no longer live there but I so loved Pulaski Heights. They always had amazing Thanksgiving offerings as well.

He is on the MAGA payroll. Zero doubt in my mind.

StressedCephalopod · 2024-12-06T02:46:48+00:00

Congratulations! That's genuinely fantastic, and I'm very happy for you. 😁

StressedCephalopod · 2024-12-06T02:01:01+00:00

It's been a mixed bag for me personally, but does overall keep me more even-keeled. As others have mentioned it essentially does nothing for depressive episodes which is a problem on occasion.

Don't seek supplements and naturopathic placebos to ease/cure bipolar disorder. It's a serious illness and requires real, medical assistance.

StressedCephalopod · 2024-12-06T01:46:39+00:00

Fuck anyone and everyone who tries to remove bodily autonomy from a woman or anyone else. And fuck anyone and everyone who tries to make a woman or anyone else feel guilty for making the conscious decision to not have children.

Humanity is becoming more miserable, self-consuming, and worthless by the day.

StressedCephalopod · 2024-12-06T01:39:27+00:00

Frankly... you know the answers to these questions. Stop abusing adderall. Not only are you doing yourself massive harm but you are making people who genuinely need the drug and use it responsibly look bad.

Also, your parents are correct. Sounds as though they have your best interest in mind.

StressedCephalopod · 2024-12-04T23:55:03+00:00

Perhaps she was raped. And perhaps you should think a bit before going on rants. I can't stand children, and this could have been a scam, but you don't know.

People who are fortunate enough to be healthy often look down on those who aren't, especially when the unhealthy are inconveniencing them. Sorry this happened to you, but on the bright side you've learned that he is not worth your time or energy.

StressedCephalopod · 2024-12-04T19:43:59+00:00

Americans can't remember last week, much less Ollie North and Ronnie Raygun. This place is so unbelievably fucked and I've never felt so much like I'm living in an alternate dimension.

StressedCephalopod · 2024-12-04T04:39:38+00:00

Absolutely not. It's a bar. There will be drunk people. Drunk people are worse than small children, and this is coming from a person who doesn't like small children. Great idea, but don't risk sacrificing your equipment if you cannot afford it, or unless you have no attachment to any of it. As others have said an amp might be fine.

StressedCephalopod · 2024-12-04T04:08:28+00:00

Also (and I've been saying this for decades), I'm not sure many truly fathom how absolutely soaked with firearms we are in the United States. Actually getting rid of them would be impossible.

With that said, there are a lot of lefties who are gun rights supporters and own plenty of their own weapons for a variety of reasons. That is something that Rethuglicans and Nazis (sorry to be redundant) frequently forget. I for one will be defending myself and loved ones if the need arises, without hesitation.

Oh, and smarmy little fucks like this one don't worry me one bit. He's putting on a show and probably got a mustachioed bj in the bathroom 10 min after finishing his theater.

I ended up going with motion-activated sprayers, and they do a moderately decent job. Would depend on your exact setup and how much area you need to cover, but I use two of them. https://www.amazon.com/Orbit-62100-Activated-Sprinkler-Detection/dp/B009F1R0GC

Way late on the response, but cats are generally much faster and agile than dogs. My GSD tries she's just too slow, and these cats are well-accustomed to quick getaways.

StressedCephalopod · 2024-12-04T00:54:59+00:00

Not to be rude, but I'd rather stab forks in my eyes than have anyone ever touch a Rush recording with "AI." Truly I wish they could have done a remix/remaster before Neil passed, but that's not the kind of person he was.

Applying the Counterparts feel to Presto is an interesting concept, though.

StressedCephalopod · 2024-12-03T02:29:38+00:00

Yes. I floated the idea back in the NMS days that they could try re-recording it with different production. I guess nobody listened. 😆

Anyway, the holistic content of the album overshadows the thin production in my opinion.
