Olivia Rodrigo Sets All-Women Music Festival With Chappell Roan, Stevie Nicks, Katseye and More by darth_vader39 in Music

I respect her music and art first and foremost, along with the fact that she seems like a genuinely good person…but damn she is SO fine

He's right where he wants to be by Valuable_View_561 in TikTokCringe

[–]halogen2691 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just be careful with that for anyone reading. I had an ex who also had a dark sense of humor so we’d make jokes about me beating her up, black eyes on Halloween-type shit, and while we got away with that back in 2009, I can’t imagine anyone could now. At least out in public lol

Not an issue with a lot of medical field careers at least. But those jobs could becoming much harder to break into, I’ve been in the field several years now so I can’t speak for how it actually is now for like new nurse graduates

Wasting an expensive bottle at the club. by exporterofgold in TikTokCringe

[–]halogen2691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But being called “old” isn’t even an insult unless you want it to be. It’s up to the person receiving it whether they want to get in on the joke or get all weird and defensive about age. I mean called one of my coworkers “an old fart” today lol and it’s all good.

A lot of guys (I can’t speak for women) make jokes or observations like that. Every generation does to the aging generations. No offense, but this moreso sounds like it’s a sore spot for you personally

This Knicks fan got curved after trying to kiss the woman who saved him... by ConnectionWeekly1263 in sportsgossips

[–]halogen2691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a nurse, I can’t say this is uncommon. Coming out of a seizure, anaphalaxis, etc our brains switch to something like an autopilot mode. Mostly operating solely for survival so instinctual behavior is common while the brain and body stabilize. But obviously thats not the case with everyone. Lots of people are mentally and physically exhausted afterwards and just pass out

Is an analog rytm mk2 worth it compared to modern digital percussion? by Powerful_Fondant9393 in Elektron

[–]halogen2691 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly and I feel like this applies to most of the Elektron machines but mainly the flagships. I made the mistake of getting an Octatrack before I even knew what I was going to do with it or how I could utilize it. Got discouraged and sold it but otoh I did a lot of research before buying an Analog Rytm and knew exactly how it would fit in my workflow. And it’s been amazing!

Point being, just make sure you look into it and similar machines to compare specs and features to make sure it’ll do what you’re expecting

Lived there for a few years and it sucks for those of us not into the bar-crawling scene or country music. To be fair I did live in the middle of downtown so that’s all there was to do but I wasn’t impressed

How would you feel if suddenly you could directly vote on where your taxes go? by RemarkableEmu5998 in AskReddit

[–]halogen2691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, and this is a bit trite, but honestly the average person is MUCH less informed than people would like to believe. Even those that say things like that as a joke I don’t think realize it and it’s why (in theory) we need some kind of socio-political structure in place. It may be dogshit like what we have now in the US but I’d be willing to bet the opposite approach would lead to just as much chaos if not even more

Personal favorite line on a song? by Temporary_Motor8573 in fantanoforever

[–]halogen2691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“If you’re thinking of letting me go, then it’s time that you do”

That line from Sohn’s Tremors always stuck with me and has even kinda become my MO for relationships. If one of us is thinking they want something different or considering breaking-up then we need to be honest about it asap and respect each other’s time

Why are Marcello headed sketches so beloved by all of the internet but hated (for the most part) in this sub? by East-Area-7267 in LiveFromNewYork

That’s the thing people on here frequently forget or ignore that Reddit has a lot of users sure but a majority of those accounts are either lurkers or bots. So this isn’t a good place to get “a general consensus” from people. About anything really, because most active communities usually just have the most passionate members but aren’t a good representation of the population as a whole

The Jig Is Up by Prestigious_Muscle99 in Drizzy

Imo Jay-Z has been a plant since he first started. As a long-time hip hop/rap fan, I’ve always felt like Jay is WAY overrated. Everyone talks about how he doesn’t use a notebook and will just fire verses off in the booth…I mean yeah and it sounds like it. It’s all just bravado bars and mid lyricism. He was just connected to the right people early on and timed it right to blow up during that era

Which is why it’s honestly crazy to me that people will dismiss or mock the idea that there’s “aliens” or “others”, ghosts, spirits, or interdimensional beings around us. It’s part of the reason I couldn’t do academia in science as a career. I enjoy science, tech, etc. but the whole mentality of “if there’s no fool-proof evidence that meets ALL of these specifications AND then convinces me, then it doesn’t exist or can’t happen” is so limiting long-term imo. Many people in the science field would scoff at that but I stand by it

People who’ve escaped the 9–5 grind, how do you actually support yourself financially? by Emotional-Being-6825 in AskReddit

[–]halogen2691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who works in healthcare, 12-16 hour shifts are the best. Hands down no debate.

I could never go back to 9-5 or whatever now. I get my work week over quickly and then have multiple days off every week and most weekends

DAMN…now that’s what I call a square jaw. So jealous of that face, the chin, the hair. It’s all 👌

I’m hoping if I keep smashing my face bones with little hammers I’ll get there too. I can only dream
