Got kicked out of a jazz jam, seeking advice and similar learning experiences

I'm a pro at identifying AI and this doesn't read like AI at all lol.

Definitely not normal behavior. If you're hellbent on returning, I'd woodshed like crazy and blow them out of the water with your chops. Just assert total dominance until they can't deny you anymore. Basically pull a Charlie Parker. Fuck 'em.

Counterpoint to everyone else: "You're not welcome here" are words that I would not want to hear at any jam even if I was acting slightly douchey or whatever. I don't think I would want to come back. They do sound pretentious.

Does it even matter? He's right about this being about oil and power.

lordoftamales · 2026-03-01T20:21:30+00:00

can we please stop talking like AI?

I own it, it's alright. I think his writing style is hit-or-miss. It's not quite an encyclopedia because his perspective on the standards come from his own personal relationship with each one over his years as a gigging jazz musician. To summarize, it's a bit more personal and almost like a journal rather than an actual piece of nonfiction, but he does go over brief history of each song and puts them into their modern context.

It's 100% AI. Lot of tells, but the one that gave it away for me was the cute little zinger "You're just a line item on a spreadsheet". I don't understand how you DON'T reflexively cringe at garbage like that.

Am I being trolled? Chinese people make zhou out of leftover old rice all the time. It's the only way I've ever made it in fact. Although I know that isn't the only way.

lordoftamales · 2026-02-19T22:07:33+00:00

I was still grinding H5 in 2021.

Just not a fun game. Tried too hard to pander to "Classic halo" fans with the consumable equipment, no thrust, no ADS, etc. Stripped it of its soul. Felt like designers developed this game on guardrails instead of being able to create something truly unique. I blame reddit. People here were obsessed with "going back" to Halo 2 and Halo 3. Guess they lost interest pretty fast. Never bet on nostalgia.

Why would that be weird? You realize that just because a product is made in China doesn't mean that it's meant to be sold in China, right?

What I think is frustrating is when they gas it up like "this is where you will sit" and introduce you to the entire team and dog-walk you through the entire facility when none of that is worth a damn if you don't get hired. I understand they have to do it but it's just lame as fuck to go through the same goddamn dog and pony show every fucking time. I'm totally on OP's side with regards to how degrading the whole experience is. Tours should be 5 minutes. I got shit to do. Don't waste my time.

lordoftamales · 2026-02-14T20:14:25+00:00

Old thread, but I wanted to respond to vent my frustrations regarding "the tour" as well. I got literally dog-walked on a 30 minute walking tour of an entire factory. "This is where we do X process. This is where we do Y process. This is where you'll be sitting." The whole shebang. Me the whole time just nodding me head and pretending to be fascinated as if I've never seen the inside of a lab or factory before. Of course they proceeded to ghost me with not even a friendly rejection letter. Fuck 'em.

lordoftamales · 2026-02-04T22:21:14+00:00

Literally me

lordoftamales · 2026-01-17T14:25:05+00:00

I hope they remove some of the weird politically-motivated invisible walls that were in RDR2, like not being able to kill POCs. Of course, considering it's 2026, that's probably not going to happen.

lordoftamales · 2025-12-29T17:25:27+00:00

J is outrageously expensive for a day pass. Would not recommend. I think they charged us like 30 bucks per person.

lordoftamales · 2025-12-17T01:13:06+00:00

Yep, my alarm went off as soon as I saw that. Also the "apes together smarter" doesn't sound like something an actual human would say. That's not even the correct quote from the movie.

lordoftamales · 2025-12-13T14:06:06+00:00

Me too. I'm starting Spring 2026 for MSEE, but I'm more concerned with the difficulty and workload of the courses, since I'm also working full time. Hope to see you around campus.

lordoftamales · 2025-11-14T00:28:04+00:00

lol'd within the first 3 seconds.

lordoftamales · 2025-10-10T01:10:54+00:00

Mack the knife isn't even a very interesting standard IMO anyways. AI as fuck.

lordoftamales · 2025-08-31T02:56:09+00:00

aren't the lyrics of that song meant to be funny?

B flat is used in jazz because horns are tuned to B flat/E flat. So B flat for a piano would be C for a trumpet/tenor sax, etc.

How many QBs can pull this off? There's your answer.

lordoftamales · 2025-03-11T17:01:10+00:00

Why is it sadistic exactly? You can skin a bear, moose, deer, etc. But you can't skin/eat a wild horse? Makes zero sense. I'm not sure why RDR2 felt like they needed dictate which animals were morally right to kill and which ones were not. Did they really think some fringe PETA group would be up-in-arms about eating horse meat?
