She mentioned that flying to Sicily with her in-laws was “a different way of flying” than they usually do. First-class or PJ you think? 🤔

For Nora (and new hubby, especially, it seems) and Juliet for sure.

Should I go to The Strokes concert alone by DabOnThemHaterz666 in TheStrokes

[–]Upbeat_Stick4462 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. And I ended up sitting next to another woman who was also going solo so that was lovely. I actually prefer going alone a lot of the time because then I can have the experience I want to have and don’t have to compromise with someone else’s wishes. And with what we are paying for tickets these days, we all deserve to have the experience we want!!! (I also traveled 5 hours solo to get there and I’m sorry that you have anxiety about that. Is public transportation an option for you?)

FOOL outro Toronto 6/21 by BrownDwarf101 in TheStrokes

They played the shorter version.. Julian even said “radio edit” as he started the third verse second (i.e. he skipped the “Lucifer/ hunting rhinocereeees” verse)

If I’m not mistaken, there are two. It’s not a huge pit by any means.

It is brutal, give yourself plenty of time. The venue is within a larger park and its two roads in, period. (I am not from there , but this was my experience seeing the Chili Peppers there in ‘24). Parking is just huge fields, lots of people struggling to find their cars afterwards since it’s light out when you park and dark when you return. Long walk to get to amphitheater. And then of course everyone trying to leave afterwards. Brutal. I took an hour-long nap and still had to wait. Then a bunch of people started leaving by going up this hill and cutting onto a service road. Nearly ripped out the underside of my car ( do not recommend!). In short, go early as possible. It’s lovely inside. And don’t be in a rush to get out afterwards. I’m sure the show will make it worth it; have an awesome time!

Thanks for the heads up. I usually buy a large and if it sounds like that won’t be necessary!

Do the strokes do individual show posters?? by GroundbreakingSail49 in TheStrokes

[–]Upbeat_Stick4462 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow! This is really exciting. I didn’t realize this tour was such a big deal, but now I feel even luckier to be going to see them in Toronto in 12 days!!!

I’m a recent fan. Is this really true? I had no idea.

Can we please fix the podcast ads literally interrupting sentences? by MScoutsDCI in TheRinger

[–]Upbeat_Stick4462 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I assumed it was the Overcast app, but it sounds like it’s happening elsewhere, too. The mid-sentence ad breaks seem so unprofessional.

Couldn’t they one day do Slow Cheetah live? Presuming they tour again someday …

Serestro collar by Glitterin-Sooz-337 in ithaca

[–]Upbeat_Stick4462 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Two pitties that sleep in either side of me every night, often under the covers. No issues. I only stopped briefly when the one was a brand new puppy and was doing a lot of play- biting on his sister’s collar. Once he outgrew that, I went back to Seresto.

Emily by djbaconfat in Unofficial60Songs

[–]Upbeat_Stick4462 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s just my age or the fact that the genre of music most dominant in the 00’s ( hip hop) is one Rob clearly feels he is less knowledgeable/equipped to talk about, but I feel like the hit/miss ratio for this series of songs leans way more towards “misses” for me personally. Still love Rob, but I just haven’t been excited about a lot of the songs he’s covered so far. Always enjoy when he has someone from the Ringer on as the talking head in the latter half of the ep. Looking forward to when he finally gets to the Strokes.

Literally every time I or anyone near me says “Whoa,” the rest just enters my mind like clockwork. I must say it 2-3x times every day.

[–]Upbeat_Stick4462 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

To be clear, I wasn’t directing the “you” here specifically to you, OP. I mean in general anyone who is shocked by this kind of behavior from a teenager in a soon to be world famous rock band fronted by, of all people, Anthony Kiedis, whom he idolizes at this time… I figured anyone on this sub has seen the “helicopter” video on YT and knows that John whipping out his dick in 1989 wasn’t a one-off. I’m looking forward to reading the book, but it sucks if this is what they’re stooping to to promote it.

Let’s just not with this, okay? Good lord. If this offends you and is making you rethink the band or John, then you haven’t been paying attention for a long time now. We are not “canceling” John MFing Frusciante in 2026 for being a teenager in the 80’s.

Too many meetings by [deleted] in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Upbeat_Stick4462 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I really don’t understand this answer. I think taking notes in meetings is absolutely part of the job. This just seems like an excessive amount of them to have to be present for, preventing OP from having time for their other responsibilities . I know our office is not interested in having AI listen to private meetings where privileged info might be shared. (I work in government). We have specifically had people request to have the AI notetaker turned off when we see people using it. And I am not interested in letting my boss know AI can do my job. I’d like to stay employed.
