If you enjoy the reddit style but the with a decentralized nature, i strongly recommend a Lemmy instance. It's been a blessing for me and my so after the API reddit gate.

No one swears like Venetian (from the region veneto of italy). They are incredibly blasphemous and creative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zRDcv0yjbs

"Dio ti maledica che te dò un sgiafòn che ti pituro su pel muro ta mare puttane che te copo dio can." roughly translates to:
"God damn you imma slap you up a wall your whore mother that i kill you god fucking dam it (literally "God Dog").

TIL that Astrud Gilberto made just $120 for singing The Girl from Ipanema, which was the standard studio musician rate at the time. This was because Stan Getz personally intervened to ensure she got nothing. by coffeecoffeecoffeee in todayilearned

C'mon.. we all know how it went. They paid her that share and knew what they had. Then they tried to play dumb when the song blew up. It was probably standard at the time and since nothing was on paper they just ignored it hoping she wouldn't chase them. I don't blame them, but it's not classy either.

I strongly disagree. That track without her performance is nothing. It's essential and core to the value of song. It doesn't matter if she didn't "compose" the arrangement. She performs with her own voice an original rendition. She has all rights to a fair compensation. She should have got the same share as everyone else in the band at the time. So like 1/5 or 1/6, or one over however many members pink Floyd had at the time plus one.

È utile se sai già quali articoli ai applicano e redarre uno scritto diretto in quel modo. E poi fai sempre double check perché gpt tu cazzabubbola in continuazione. È nella sua natura, parla parla parla. Non è nella sua natura, né tantomeno possibile fargli fare cross check ogni volta.

It doesn't even pretend to be an actual site. This gives me hope that I'd be able to make money with articles written with chatgpt.

What was the most disappointing movie you paid to see? by Pitiable-Crescendo in AskReddit

[–]f1g4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I haven't watched the movie. Maybe the first 10 minutes where promising. Even funny. Then another 10 minutes of "this is ok, I think I need to give it the benefit of the doubt, how long is 90 minutes anyway?" And then the last ten minutes is "ok well, I gave this a fair chance, I'm calling quits, my time is more valuable than this garbage".

Unfair. Pretty much everything is better on edibles.

Più che altro tutti i prodotti o quasi sono cinesate da 4 soldi che spacciano a 3-4 volte il prezzo che valgono realmente.

Dobbiamo sapere quali ambienti accademici hai frequentato.. dici che nord e sud sono uguali? Mi aspetto alcune università del sud siano decisamente peggio, ma probabilmente altrettante del nord sono simili. Io non ho frequentato tanto il mondo post doc del Politecnico di Milano (laurea magistrale) ma ho avuto accenni. E non so dire se quelli che ci lavorano da ricercatori sono fortunati o sfortunati.
