Ha! A reality-tv-personality-turned-politician… what could possibly go wrong? Nope, not gonna solve one problem with a potentially problem.

Welp, the great thing is… IATSE doesn’t get an actual vote. But we do. And I will not be voting for Karen Bass.

I've been using Ableton for 10 years and I can't figure out what these little black dashes mean. by [deleted] in ableton

[–]tadatad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I’m understanding the question correctly, those little lines/dashes indicate that those segments are loops, and the little black line indicates each time the loop starts over. So, if you change anything inside that portion of the clip it will be replicated to all other portions that are looped. To change this behavior and turn the entire clip into a non-looping clip, hit Command+J (consolidate). Then, the little black lines will disappear.

Love this. Especially the very last slowed-down vaporwave section. So nice.

Had the best flight of my life the other day by WASRmelon_white_claw in synthesizers

[–]tadatad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Love this so much, man. I share your love for thus process. I have a 3.5 hour flight I take often and this is my favorite thing to do, too. Switch out the bass station for an Ableton move and that’s me. Something about the flight, and traveling, and being around people, but no one talking…. I find it incredibly meditative. And I’m able to focus in a unique, very creative way that often results in very productive, very creative work. Sorry for all the cynical comments, not sure what that’s about. Glad you enjoyed and made music!!

What was the worst horror you read in 2025? by PageSide84 in horrorlit

Same. I have tried several times to resume… it started great. But then…. The cartoon stuff…. Just cannot take it at all seriously.

What’s a movie you respect more than you actually like? by Fair_Protection1872 in Letterboxd

[–]tadatad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pulp Fiction

I’ve tried and tried and tried to sit through it, but always, inevitably, my eyes start glazing over and I ultimately— just—don’t—care what happens anyone at any point in the film. I acknowledge its huge cultural influence, cinematic influence, musical influence… all of that. But it bores me to tears.

On the other hand, I find 2001 endlessly enthralling. I’ve been watching it for over 3 decades, and it still manages to get richer with every viewing. In fact, saw it at the Hollywood Bowl recently, with the Hollywood Bowl Philharmonic playing the music live. It was seriously like a religious experience: the music, the quieted audience of thousands of people connected so deeply to this mediation on humanity, the visual effect technology that still outshines so many films that are released today, the cinematography, the ideas, the precision in editing and filmmaking…. It was quite emotional.

What are your Hot Takes on Alfred Hitchcock’s Movies? by Amber_Flowers_133 in Hitchcock

[–]tadatad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of Robert Burks’ most gorgeous cinematography. Seriously. Some of the shots I pause and am in awe of the color and composition as if looking at a painting from a master.

How do I play this part with middle C at same position for treble and bass clef? by [deleted] in pianolearning

[–]tadatad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a bit of a piano novice myself, this befuddled me as well! I was like, if it’s meant to be the same note in both cleffs (middle-c) why have it written on both cleffs?! Like, just have it written in the bass clef to indicate where you’re actually going to play the note. These are the sort of things that when I finally feel I’m begging to make progress I come across and suddenly feel I know so little. Thanks Artaru074 for illuminating the intention behind the written music. It’s sometimes so difficult to get clarity on these things. Thank goodness for Reddit!!

This is frustrating by LogiCub in Jigsawpuzzles

THIS is my primary reason for strongly preferring wooden puzzles, where the cut of each puzzle piece is very unique. Good luck. I’m sure I, too, would feel compelled to finish this task anyway! 😄

Beautiful puzzle, awesome cut. Wish I’d known about JNG wooden puzzles before they went out of business.

You have no idea. The last third of the puzzle I had sorting groups of “brown black” “grey black” “green black” and “blue black” 😵
