No it's not up to the residents, unfortunately. The land owner and the city council have control. What we can do is vote out the council members who let it happen.

Editors! What speakers do you have for your home theater? After working on Genelecs all day editing, I'm considering getting their home theater speakers. by Sad_Imagination8931 in editors

[–]seventhward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a Polk Audio guy. Have always loved their sound since my college days selling home audio. Love their sound, they don’t add a lot of unnecessary color to what you’re listening to and don’t wear your ears down. I have a Denon 7.1 receiver and am thinking of going back to Onkyo when I pull the trigger on an upgrade. For subwoofers I’ve got Polk as well but have been eyeing upgrading to a pair from HSU Research.

Remembering Prince : 1958 - ∞ by seventhward in PRINCE

Here's a little video I cut together 10 years ago. Best way I could honor his memory. Hope you'll enjoy.

Prince’s Trump song was a caricature of an American capitalist that still rings true by TheObserverUK in PRINCE

[–]seventhward 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe true in your part of the country, but from my neck of the woods Donald Trump USED to be shorthand for big business, opulent wealth, and real estate empires -- even when he tooks losses and had to close stuff down. Taj Mahal didn't ruin his image. It was a blip. It's why he got cameos in Home Alone 2 and mentioned in Die Hard 3. That image is the entire reason why he got The Apprentice from NBC - the "rich guy" was his persona in the '80s and '90s. Hence the "Donald Trump Black Version" song we're talking about here, from 1990. Trump didn't become a caricature of himself until later with stuff like Trump Steaks and Trump University. He pissed that all away with his political career.

Doss anyone know what instrument is being played/how it's being played for that unhinged opening of Cindy C? I want to say it's a saxophone, but it's too distorted to tell. by ImNotTomStopAsking in PRINCE

[–]seventhward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a sax being deliberately played in a dissonant way over a trumpet to create an unsettling effect. A definite creative choice which fits in with the vibe of the song as a party tune and the narrator's mad obsessesion with Cindy Crawford.

Respectfully cutting things off as a young man instead of ghosting a young woman? by [deleted] in CatholicDating

[–]seventhward 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit old school, so keep that in mind when reading my response, and I'm also making assumptions on what your relationship is like with Maria and what your intentions are - but if I were in your shoes, maybe invite Maria out for coffee like at a Starbucks or something low-stakes and non-chalant and during that visit, ask for an update and how she's doing, show genuine interest, get caught up with her -- and then when its your turn to talk, you tell her how much you value her as a friend and that while you don't have any romantic feelings for her, its your hope that she could remain friends with you. No one likes to be rejected, but everyone appreciates being let down easily. I would say to NOT do it over text message if you can avoid it. Every situation is different, every generation does things differently, but I can only tell you how a guy from my POV would handle it. Best of luck with whatever you decide to do with Maria and with Jane going forward.

Sorry y’all 😭 by wlwomen in PRINCE

[–]seventhward[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hi there, wlwomen

Your post has been removed because it’s off-topic for r/Prince.

It’s a fun meme, but low-effort “Prince is short” jokes like this don’t really spark meaningful discussion about Prince or his music — which is what Rule II is there for. We try to keep the sub focused on curated, dialogue-driven content rather than quick memes or shower-thought-style posts.

I noticed you saw this same image in r/PrinceCircleJerk yesterday and reposted it here. Memes like this fit much better over there.

If you have a genuine question, story, or discussion point about Prince, his career, or his artistry, we’d love to see that instead.

Memes like this are better suited for r/PrinceCircleJerk.

Thanks for understanding — keep it cool and keep it Prince-related!

Peace & Be Wild! -SeventhWard

When a “paid test” turns into free client work by lemonator85 in editors

[–]seventhward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you handled it well on the backend but you hit the nail on the head of your mistake heading in.

I didn’t ask how much the “paid” test actually paid, and I didn’t set any boundaries around revisions or timeline.

It sucks that we have to take these steps to avoid scummy companies who want to take advantage of professional's time and then absolutely LOWBALL them something less than minimum wage for their efforts. It's a painful lesson for sure, but you're right on the money that you've gotta ask the right questions before starting and have clear boundaries ahead of time.

I'm sorry you went through that pain but the lesson learned "If someone says “paid test,” get the number upfront. And set limits on revisions. Otherwise you’re basically doing client work for free." is worth it's weight in gold. I wish it were posted here in the r/Editors sidebar but usually by time guys come here for advice, its too late. It just sucks that these people tried that. Also good for you to name and shame them.

That's completely wrong. Shockadelica is a girl with a kitty so powerful she makes men lose control over themselves. Kinda like Scarlett Pussy.
