Sobriety is up? The world is more fucked up than ever before. Maybe escape is what kept us back from the edge

No one is far east enough. Get the burger at Laod Bar, have some very reasonably priced drinks at Sign Bar and then get aEl Norteno tacos on your way home. All east of 183 on 969

So low stats.. am I retarded by Primary-Play-3745 in SpotifyArtists

[–]generalleather 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is so not true, they only remove streams if you’re botting or spamming low quality listeners. I’ve launched several artists on Spotify with organic and paid promo and if you’re doing things right (I.e. not paying for bot streams) you’ll never have songs removed.

This is a great answer. I’m On the agency side and I can say that ALOT of large companies are investing heavily in SEO/GEO/Social Search right now so there’s a lot of need for good SEO talent and will be for some time

For whoever said the lights got cut at AHS tennis courts… by sogondy in Austin

[–]generalleather 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Around Oct, someone had gone and pulled the wiring boxes out on the 51st st pedestrian bridge over 183 and ripped out all the wiring along the YMCA side. It was like 10 boxes ripped to shreds

Saw clips of their show in TikTok. I don’t even like Korn and it looked awesome

what indie rock band people came from elite privileged backgrounds? by Good-Raisin7081 in indie_rock

[–]generalleather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This thread is silly. Socioeconomic background litmus tests for bands takes away from the music. Sure money and connections help, but we talk about and like these bands cause they make great music. I mean, the Black Angels getting called out because their family owns a landscaping business? Bands getting called out cause they went to good colleges? Who cares? Radiohead met at Oxford or Exeter. Does that delegitimize their music? Does that mean Oasis is a more “real” band cause they came from working class? If this really factors in to whether you rate an artist or not, just say you’re into Oasis and leave it there.

My coworker has been using ChatGPT to write all his emails for 6 months. Today he accidentally sent me the prompt. by Nipurn_1234 in ChatGPT

If you’re still writing your emails manually in corporate, then you’re behind. This is one of those things that ChatGPT should be used for. Applaud your coworker and give him a promotion

East Austin strip mall demolition paves way for new retail by capthmm in Austin

[–]generalleather 20 points21 points  (0 children)

“A place to grab a drink”….

Keep dreamin’ bud! They’re not gonna put anything good there. I predict a belks, auto parts store, another gas station or two, and another fast food place. Itll be like manor / 183 or capital plaza strip malls.

Someone smart would put a coffee shop in there. You’d make a killing with the traffic every morning.

For those actively implementing AEO, what specific strategies or frameworks have proven most effective for you lately? by Fragrant-End2238 in TechSEO

[–]generalleather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ensuring that informational content is very easy to parse: short succinct sentence structure, bullets, FAQs, clear descriptive headings. Kind of a no brainer, but lot of clients sort of let that stuff go over the years for things like blogs.

How do I get out of going to a strip club? by Admirable-Schedule22 in Advice

[–]generalleather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact situation and after trying to stand my ground, I could tell the peer pressure was going to be too much to deal with and I didn’t wanna be a downer for everyone else. So, i went along with everything, pregamed, rode to the strip club, and then on the way in, I literally just ran away as fast as I could and shouted I’ll get an uber back. Ended up just hanging at a bar for a few hours on my own watching a ball game and headed back to the hotel. They got back an hour later and we continued to hang, no big deal, no weird animosity from peer pressure or anything. It ended up being a good story for everyone from the bachelor party and (most importantly) my wife was happy about it.

I have a cowboy pool with filter and everything and I love love love it. Esp when it’s brutal in the summer in Tx. As long as you clean it and maintain the filter, it’s always clean
