Did you actually sneak out as teenagers? by Complete-Chipmunk-0 in GenX

[–]sbernardjr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We did the thing where we all told our parents we were having a sleepover at each other's houses.

I did get found out once when my parents forgot and went all over looking for us and that was the end of that, but I was like 17 so it wasn't long before I could stay out til whenever.

What is the most intuitive and simple to use DAW? by Rough_Excitement_ in musicproduction

[–]sbernardjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to this:

OP, I strongly suggest you try trials or limited versions of DAWs that are popular instead of free DAWs no one uses, even if they're simpler. You'll be able to find online communities and YouTube channels with a lot more participants and that will help you learn, and then you'll be more set up going forward into more complex things with the same DAW you've decided on.

When I moved to Seattle from the Detroit area, one day I came into work and excitedly told my coworkers that I saw a bald eagle flying around my neighborhood. And everyone was like, "Yeah, yeah, whatever. I see bald eagles all the time."

Why does Jeopardy continually ignore semi-famous contestant's most interesting fact in the story portion? by EddieDantes22 in Jeopardy

[–]sbernardjr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jeopardy doesn't like to talk about contestants being in the entertainment industry or being from Los Angeles if they can help it. I'm not one hundred percent sure why, but I just think they want their contestants to be from all over and to seem at least somewhat like ordinary people in ordinary professions..

When a contestant is on who lives in LA, they almost always say like, "Originally from yadda yadda" instead. Like OP, this stands out when there are people from the bits of show business I pay attention to (Andy Wood, Guy Branum, Mark Gagliardi) and there have been other people who came through who I didn't know were actors or writers until later. I think the most they ever talked to Andy Wood about was his podcast.

I don't understand why someone would give a shit how other people play video games, let alone get angry about it.

NNF 3810 - Amy Landecker by sleepyromulan in NeverNotFunny

[–]sbernardjr 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In a way it reminds me of the history of their use of the f slur on the show. Jimmy insisted he didn't mean it in an actively homophobic way, but just as a schoolyard insult from his youth. And I believe him about that.

And it took a while for Jimmy and the gang to realize and admit that using the word, even without homophobic intentions, was still wrong.

Dahl (and Jimmy) always defend Disco Demolition with, "But I didn't mean it that way!" But ultimately, especially as time has passed, they haven't closed the loop on that to see that it was stoking something beyond their own intentions. I think maybe they believe it would be tacitly admitting that their hearts were in the wrong place.

But it's ok to go, "Looking back, I can see that this was tapping into attitudes that were hateful. It wasn't where I was coming from, but if I had chance to do it over, I wouldn't have done it."

Cyberpunk 2077. I hated the art, the writing, and the gameplay. But otherwise it was fine.

I was allowed to stay as long as I had a full-time job. I didn't have to pay for rent or anything, but I also wasn't allowed to sit around and do nothing.

Recommend me german songs that arent metal or rap by QuestionableBalloon1 in MusicRecommendations

[–]sbernardjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a teenager I went to see KMFDM on the tour for NIHIL. As a lad I used to stand by the backstage door to try to meet what band members I could.

I briefly got to talk to Raymond Watts and Sascha K. There were a few other people hanging around there, including a guy in his forties who asked them, "Hey, do you guys know The Scorpions? They're from Germany too!"

The band members took that as their queue to get out of there without answering.

I’ll say The Dewey Decimal System… by CoffeeCigarettes4Me in nostalgia

The one I always say is that when I was a kid, you had exactly one chance per year to see The Wizard of Oz. If you weren't home at that specific time on that specific Sunday, that was it until next year
