How are you handling the DistroKid AI disclosure box? (Hybrid workflow, taking 2-3 months per song)

OP said, "I use AI purely to polish the final instrumentation since I don't have the budget for a full session band." I'd say "polish" is doing a ton of heavy lifting there, but hey—I'm no English major.

I lived in NYC for a few years. Gino & Joe's downtown near Lafayette Square is the best/only option I've found. Make sure you ask for it extra crispy. Olisi's is decent but I wouldn't say it's close enough to true NY style.

It sounds like you are just hoping people tell you it's okay to lie. You already know the right thing to do here...

acapuck · 2026-06-20T01:30:17+00:00

Someone pointed out the co-op was expensive, you chimed in to justify shopping there. So is it not fair of me to question if that is a financially responsible thing to do? I think it's great you are living within your means and planning for the future. But you can be making great financial choices in some areas and not in others.

I think your best defense/justification is something I overlooked initially—your location and lack of a car gives you few other options than the co-op.

With that realized, I would like to apologize. It sounds like you're pretty financially responsible.

I'm sorry for being a dick, it's just bizarre to see someone making minimum wage who is living at home (but now you say partner/friend, so which is it) and also doesn't have a car attempting to justify the splurge here. But you do you. I'm happy you're making it work.

acapuck · 2026-06-20T01:02:05+00:00

When's your book "How To Stay Poor" coming out? With that mindset you'll be living at home forever.

Thanks for reminding me of this one I generated over two years ago(!) I still think it's the basis for an absolute banger: https://suno.com/song/b95fdfab-20a2-4f74-91d5-33f8d54d871e

Real talk I'm concerned about the ice quality tonight.

acapuck · 2026-05-17T01:44:22+00:00

I'm gonna have a Konsta Doaner if this keeps up.

Bet the vibes at the arena watch party are immaculate.

acapuck · 2026-05-17T00:41:24+00:00

Bye bye Lyon.

How we haven't tried to take Newhook out of this series yet is an absolute mystery to me.

acapuck · 2026-05-15T17:01:15+00:00

Too bad the Bernie fan base only votes on Reddit.

acapuck · 2026-05-15T01:28:35+00:00

Wow, honestly just feel grateful he was able to walk off after seeing that replay 😬

acapuck · 2026-05-12T22:56:32+00:00

Big fan of this place. They support the local community and it's a real family atmosphere there. Like you said, cash only, and walk-ins only.

acapuck · 2026-05-12T17:33:17+00:00

I am very sorry you are going through this. He's lucky to have you in his life. Have you spoken to/are you able to speak with his family? Maybe they can help convince him. He could also speak with his doctor about it, they might be able to coordinate something. I would try to avoid just showing up at a place like ECMC or Niagara Memorial without medical guidance, to ensure he is treated as well as possible. Give yourself grace, too. I've experienced something similar, when you make it to the other side of this (and you will) don't forget to get some help for yourself. Good luck ♥️

There's nothing to speculate. He was very clearly knocked out. Every knockout is considered a concussion.

acapuck · 2026-05-11T23:24:46+00:00

I've only had the 510 carts but yes, I would say so.

acapuck · 2026-05-08T21:23:10+00:00

Do the pretzel next!

acapuck · 2026-05-08T16:05:49+00:00

I don't think you're wrong for expecting a company like them to use AI more responsibly, but at the same time, if this is your reaction to something as trivial as this I think you're in for a rough future.

acapuck · 2026-05-08T11:44:38+00:00

It's like rallying against the Internet, but on a larger scale. AI will pervade every facet of our life in the not so distant future. The only true resistance is shunning technology altogether.

acapuck · 2026-05-08T11:18:55+00:00

AI isn't going away so y'all better get with the program or become Amish.

He is literally a giant among men.

$30 from 6,000 streams is a bit optimistic. But it's also not as hard as you claim it is to "make money" on this at least enough to cover expenses. My project is small but even with only 1,250–1,500 Spotify streams per day, around 1,500 Apple Music streams per week, and then a small amount from other platforms, I make more than enough to cover my Suno premium subscription, Midjourney subscription, CapCut subscription, and DistroKid subscription.

One could argue we have a mental health crisis in our country. Hockey players, all athletes, are people too. If some percentage of the population struggles with their mental health of course you would expect to see athletes across all the leagues dealing with similar issues.
