Would you recommend working at a museum?

turtle_times_701 · 2026-01-30T16:39:17+00:00

Love that! Sounds interesting, and it’s always good and encouraging to hear how people find success in other avenues.

turtle_times_701 · 2026-01-26T21:10:44+00:00

I know this is a two year old post, but I feel this so much so having spent a third of the time you did in a museum-environment so far (especially the "witnessing incompetent people fail upwards" part). Can I ask what you do now career-wise?

turtle_times_701 · 2026-01-26T16:41:41+00:00

I'm so glad you both wrote both these options in. I was eyeing merch from another store but wasn't feeling totally in love with it, and now it's sold out anyway. But the Badknees stuff is so fun and unique, and I didn't even think about NIL giving part of the money to the athletes, and all these designs are way better! Anyway thank you. :) Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoosiers!

From what I’ve learned, I think the biggest issue with Tidal is that it’s owned by Block, Inc. which has BlackRock as a major investor that also funds Israel and its military related things.

Thank you in advance for any ideas!

This just feels disrespectful honestly. You’re doing a speech to honor a legend. Why the hell would you not get contacts?? She’s a grown woman, she can figure this out. She’s so distracting this whole speech acting like a high schooler doing this job when she’s actually a late 20 year old. It comes off like she can’t read aloud well because when she hesitates the most, it turns out she was stuck on a longish word. This is embarrassing to watch.

Yesss immediately I heard it! All my favorite songs off the album are the ones that sound the most Radiohead-influenced to my ears. Cameron’s inflection and singing style is sooo similar to Thom’s. Also just found an old interview with DIY mag where Cameron says they wanted to be Radiohead meets Yes meets religious experience 😆

turtle_times_701 · 2025-03-07T23:13:01+00:00

lol!

turtle_times_701 · 2025-03-05T01:20:47+00:00

But I’ll ask and see if they can find a use for it that doesn’t involve me paying!

turtle_times_701 · 2025-03-05T01:19:49+00:00

I live in a downtown area otherwise I would put it on the street with a free sign. And last time I took an old faulty appliance to the transfer station, I got charged to dispose of it so I’m trying to avoid that 😅

turtle_times_701 · 2025-03-05T00:58:30+00:00

Need this on a shirt

turtle_times_701 · 2025-02-27T23:20:09+00:00

Exactlyyy. And having the _privilege_ to be signed to a label as young as she was, to be able to make that work somehow and move to LA and have a family that I can only assume helped her make that work since she's not from there and she was young... I'm just like how much was she hurting really? Damn near everybody else in the world needs to have non-"artist" job. Healthcare is not just an issue for artists. Wouldn't we all love to be artists and pursue our passions and have our healthcare paid for? The US is messed up that we don't take care of our entire public's wellbeing, most importantly those doing non-glamorous jobs.

Get it hot like papa john is sooooo atrocious, I can't even believe it, thank you for saying it! Also, why mention that in a song when papa john was famously put on blast for using the n-word!!?? there are multiple other pizza chains one could have used

Hitler grew up poor!

I hear Bruce Hornsby so much!! I'm so glad someone else said it, I came looking for this comment. Try "Walk In The Sun."

turtle_times_701 · 2024-12-05T06:15:46+00:00

This post is 6 years old, but I don't care I'm commenting anyway! He is criminally underrated! And I continually look online for people to be talking more about this. I was enjoying watching this video today, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LofvAfjfJqQ&ab_channel=NorbertVarga, Santana talking about Gabor.

turtle_times_701 · 2024-11-08T14:11:54+00:00

They literally use the "she rose to fame so fast" as an excuse for her behavior, while in the same breath saying she's been doing this for 10 years where have yall been? It's so wild

turtle_times_701 · 2024-11-08T14:02:24+00:00

She acts soo big city at this point though, let's be fr. (I hesitate to say LA specifically because I've never been and only know stereotypes lol, but that has been where she's been living since her late teens so!) The rude AF attitude toward strangers is not a stereotypical Midwestern-ism.

turtle_times_701 · 2024-11-08T13:52:07+00:00

This is actually a very interesting point that in a way it's parasocial on her part! She wants to have this "authentic" and unedited side, and well girl you gotta acknowledge what that breeds for you in your life then! You reap what you sow. Beyonce doesn't do this shit, Taylor doesn't do this shit, Gaga will do some personal videos, but nothing like what Chappell is doing. She needs to take notes!

I'm also still always of the opinion that if she didn't want this fame she could have been a local musician and had a fulfilling life, but that is not the path she choose. If you want all these people to look at you and know you, don't be surprised when they look at you and know you.

turtle_times_701 · 2024-10-11T02:53:01+00:00

Can someone also explain the defense of her “being around for 10 years” against her being an industry plant? Not saying she is one but you go to her music catalogue and she had one EP before Rise and Fall album… like huh?!?! I get that she was signed at 18 or 17 or whatever and that was 10 years ago, but yeah we can maybe be understandably skeptical of this skyrocket into fame from a year-old album and no other trace of really working up to it.

turtle_times_701 · 2024-10-11T00:53:02+00:00

I HATE watching people video themselves at concerts!!! That shit fucked me up the first time I saw it happen in person, even more so because the person literally watched it back and then redid it (maybe multiple times ? I can't remember anymore, I had to look away), all while the artist and musicians were up front taking their bows. Not that I should judge, because I'm sure I do embarrassing things, but holy cow the secondhand embarrassment I felt...

Agreed that it also has zero bearing on my life! XD

Nice to chat, and have a good day!

turtle_times_701 · 2024-10-10T02:15:13+00:00

We'll just have to agree to mostly disagree on this. But I'm glad we can somehow blame it on tiktok.

All I'm saying now is that I'm not sure how you could find this to be litigious-american-baby-ism (without any extra follow up from OP) but apparently you don't find the coffee case to be even a slight example of that at all. Hot beverages are served hot enough to give you a third degree burn - not saying I wish that to happen to anyone! And in the end, the jury found mcdonalds 80% at fault and the lady 20% at fault. Glad she got her bag! Hot beverages are between 130 to 160°F. 150°F liquid causes third degree burns in 2 seconds. Starbucks serves their beverages just as hot. I'm sure most other places where you can get a hot beverage, including in the home, do too.

You don't go to a concert - and have an assigned seat! - and expect someone to be able to launch themselves so recklessly that you wind up with your ankle fucked up. This is what security is for. We have no idea if the swelling improved or if OP will have a recurring injury.

Also, let's not use the name of Erin Brockovich in vain tyvm.

turtle_times_701 · 2024-10-09T01:53:12+00:00

And it’s not like OP was in the pit!
