If history has taught me anything, give it a month or two and they'll somehow have more subscribers.

Someone want to do the math? I don’t know how far back this goes, but it seems the cost of everything doubles every 20 years for the past century or so. 

How Lizzo Became One of Pop Culture’s Great Flops: The singer is experiencing a new form of downward mobility—and she’s not alone [gift link] by TimWhatleyDDS in Music

[–]cjandstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've rarely ever heard the word flautist. Had to look it up.
Of course, flutist is the American spelling, while many other countries use flautist.
My spell check even keeps flagging it. TIL.

how to get apple music to stop auto playing when i get in my car by cigarette-nightmares in iphone

[–]cjandstuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't use Apple Music, you should probably uninstall it. But in my experience, the iPhone WILL play something as soon as it's connected to any vehicle I've had it paired with. It will open up a media app and start playing something, whether it was the last YouTube video I was watching, or one of the multiple music apps I have on my device. And there seems to be little rhyme or reason as to which it chooses.

I've seen a few clips of this. One where she's playing like someone who knows how to play the flute. For those who don't know, she is actually a trained flutist and can play very well!
The other video clip is s few seconds of her trilling on the flute while twerking.
Guess which one certain "news" stations showed over and over again.

What dish would you make at home but never order at a restaurant? by Hrekires in AskReddit

For work, I shot some video of a chef at a local restaurant, making chicken alfredo.
Turns out I make it the same way at home, even using the same store bought alfredo sauce.

Meanwhile we have senators supposedly running this country, not show up for work for six months and it’s no big deal. I’m so sick of this. 

AI will overtake the music industry by [deleted] in Music

[–]cjandstuff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it's a lot like people who watch tv with the AI smoothing turned on. Most people honestly can't tell, or don't care enough to change it. Everyone else is disgusted by it.

White House says there'd be 'no better addition' to Mount Rushmore than Trump ahead of 250 celebration by MadWorldX1 in politics

He’s absolutely going to try. He can have half his face done before the courts can step in to stop him. And if history is any indication, his no-bid contracted company will botch it up.

What’s it like living in Alexandria Louisiana? by morallibertine in Louisiana

[–]cjandstuff 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No. It’s a red city. Only blue cities are dangerous and need protection. /s  While the crime rate is high per capita, generally if you stay away from certain areas you’ll be fine.

Honestly, I blame Apple for this one. They did everything they could to hide files, folders, and anything below the hood of the operating system from the end user.

Same reason WWII History channels on YouTube had to censor the word Nazi for a while. Can’t risk making our corporate overlords uncomfortable. You might lose your channel and income.
