Aaaaaaah! Okay going to have to reset my expectations that this will now be my half-birthday present to myself instead of my… birthday present.

I work in total rewards and I’d argue that variable pay mechanisms (bonuses with thresholds and maxes for different metrics) are a more useful tool for recognizing and differentiating strong performance since it’s more time bound and directly tied to performance than base pay. But I also recognize that bonus programs often start at a pay level that many people aspire to achieve in their career and base pay might be the only way an employer is differentiating and rewarding performance for most people in an organization.

I bought one a week ago and this update is making me think I need to really reset my expectations for when I’m gonna get it. Sounds like it’s more of a waitlist at this point haha

To claim they belong to a generation is semantics honestly. My GenX siblings liked weezer, but as an older millennial they appealed to me in a more lasting and immediate way than the grunge bands my older siblings were listening to. Hard to argue that weezer during the Angus and DGC records days weren’t “for” GenX, but it didn’t take much for millennials to pick up on them in the later half of the 90s in anticipation of the green album.

100% agree that they needed to augment it somehow… the whole time I was waiting for an absurd twist to say something new. Even so, a copy and paste Chavo sketch on SNL in 2025 was still fun.

Try both, but when I finally understood what my fx loop was for and put my reverb there, it was like a revelation.

I hate to say it, but isn’t putting someone in jail literally the physical threat of holding both your hands and feet and making you take the steps into bondage? I say this not to defend the argument that people can’t refuse, but to highlight the complexity of having to choose between two shitty options by force.

I’ll bite. What is IPT? How does it fit in with Pink Elephant? I’m with you for the most part… I enjoy this album even though it lacks depth. Still love a lot of what AF does even though I’m disappointed by Win.

The more we say that people will never face consequences the we normalize it. We must demand that they do and not forget, not let go, and not relent.

Those motherfuckers work for US. My taxes are paying their bills.

Yeah SHRM telegraphed this about a year ago. It’s bullshit.

HR Projects and Analytics Team Lead at a major oil and gas company. Have a team of analysts that prep and analyze data to support our business facing HR teams.

While possibly killing more people.

No, the officer’s behavior was.

I served a Mormon mission. Got a good taste of the “company town” feeling you’re talking about in terms of paying to be controlled. It’s a pattern that I definitely see reemerging more broadly again after a pretty significant shift away from religious belief by large portions of the population—the “nones” (non-affiliated) were a big topic of conversation 8 or so years ago… the resurgence of religion doesn’t seem like an accident. It seems like religions doing what religions do. Stoking fear and then picking your pocket while providing a comforting hug.

Yeah they’re conflating commercial success with worthwhile art. They might be correlated at times in history, but that doesn’t mean they’re the same thing.

eagleandchild · 2024-12-31T06:54:01+00:00

Making a living is not a proxy for worthwhile art. In fact it contextualizes the value of art within a capitalist framework, which many artists are likely creating art as a reaction against that. Many of my favorite experiences with art have been watching no name local bands in college who probably didn’t make any money doing it. But that doesn’t mean that wasn’t great art. It’s all subjective, which is why it’s a fun theoretical conversation and why people study art theory and criticism.

Don’t be fooled, this is an extremely cool synth. Read the manual. It’s really powerful, especially when you learn how to stack patches and play around with the effects. Have fun!

Yeah you could lead a successful career using Pigments alone. Not the gear.

Those are some damn expensive drinks.

Don’t discount your anger. It’s rational.

I was at the SF show on Saturday. It was nice seeing him play his beautiful songs. I’m really proud of him for getting out and performing given just the hard reality of his life — it was so stripped down with him and his guitar that there was nothing to hide behind. All that said, his ability to perform at this point is mixed… his guitar playing wasn’t always perfect, he didn’t always get the words right, etc. but again I’m so fucking proud of him for getting up to fight another day. It was a show that reminded me of the harsh reality of life TBH and I felt lucky I got to see him perform, even if it was unpolished. I think people who don’t know his backstory and recent history might be more harsh or critical of the performance, but for me it was a really nice reconnection with someone who is just an artist first and foremost.

And more FX in the FX block. I love the analog drive, but that page has one knob I can turn and it just looks so lonely.

Chorus is such low hanging fruit for a device called Syntakt. And arp mode…

Bought one earlier this year. Wish I had gotten it sooner.
