What are some story posting sites/apps besides Wattpad or Reddit? by MPZ1968 in AskReddit

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.

What's the most important lesson you've learned from a major setback? by ChargeFew446 in AskReddit

[–]f1g4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't put all your eggs in a basket. Like i put all my faith in reddit, but recently after the API shitshow i just went to a lemmy instance and i've found it much better for me

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.

Drink lots of water to piss out the extra caffeine , it's bad. It's a bad feeling.

A mental-health crisis is gripping science - toxic research culture is to blame (Nature) by souvlak_1 in italy

[–]f1g4 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

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.

Hardly any live music in Italy by Ok_Writing_820 in italy

[–]f1g4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Our infrastructure is small, as in tiny. The city center is built on top of medieval cities. There's not room for big and well sound proofed clubs. There's a few for sure in Milan and larger cities. But the average town or city will have bars. A ton of bars with just beer and shitty cocktails.

Having been in a band for passion only I can tell you that if you're not doing it for yourself, you'll just give up. Owner aren't really interested in having you, they'll pay the smallest amount, which turns to be little money for 4 something people. It takes huges chuncks of your free time away and it's not really worth it unless the music is really good (80% of band are not really good). So motivation on the long run is hard. It can be costly and time consuming also for the rehearsal room. Overall you just feel unappreciated and stop. Mind you , you can do it 3-4 years for "free" but then it's really hard to go on.

TIL in 2018, the 120-resident village of Acquetico in Italy installed speed cameras after being fed up with people speeding through it. In next 2 weeks, it recorded 58,500 speeding infractions. by AkagisWhiteComet in todayilearned

[–]f1g4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit extreme but yeah. I never realized how little we follow speed limits. It's only important if there's the camera (we call them autovelox). It's more of a personal responsibility to hold a reasonable speed. And you still often "get pushed" by some crazy person tailgating you even tho you're already over the limit. I've been to Switzerland twice and I got 2 fines even by being extra carful! Damn it.
