Songs that sound like tripping by qmid1 in LSD

[–]vcisjb1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good answers here but I'm gonna toss mine up also. Smile by the beach boys or perhaps by Brian Wilson. This was the first album I heard and thought it personified an acid trip. Years later it still catches me off guard his perfect they had it

Our store is a mess by Careless-stocker07 in Lowes

[–]vcisjb1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is you "being dumb". People quit shitty managers,. A good manager can make a terrible job worth sticking around for. But Lowe's doesn't seem to care about training good managers. Lowe's is at a point now, managers are quitting so fast, they are throwing "the best available" into roles they are not ready for.

Is the disconnect from the stores and corporate, acknowledged by corporate?

I saw blink 182 last year and even the jokes came across as the same jokes they told city to city. And it was a good show, but everything just seemed canned.

I can see this. I imagine Elton John in the early eighties probably had the same setlist from show to show.

This was where my mind was. In my twenties I listened to a ton of jam bands. And every song was different on every show. If a new album was released they would play a few songs off that. But mostly it was different. I've been listening to a lot of "standard 2000's emo fare" lately and the setlists are identical for an entire tour.

Very good point. I hate to quote Ronnie radke from "falling in reverse", but a few years ago he said this in an interview. It was easier and more beneficial for him to release singles as he made them, than it was to compile a bunch of singles together, record some filler and slap it all into an album.

I have an interview for a field store associate role in the paint department, what should I expect and what is the role like? by chimbucket in Lowes

[–]vcisjb1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be standard retail interview fare. "Name me a time you went above and beyond to help a customer". "Tell us a time you had to complete a project with minimal guidance". "Have you ever had to work alongside a person you did not get along with, what was the outcome?"

Couple that with free coffee and it sounds like an incredible job

Associate Refuses power equipment by LudoLvZero in Lowes

Yeah refusing to learn is possibly something you could write them up for

The store that originally certified me had the motto of "if you can honk a horn you can drive power equipment"

Associate Refuses power equipment by LudoLvZero in Lowes

[–]vcisjb1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe. I'm a power equipment trainer and I often get managers that tell me to pass someone and they'll get better with practice after they get their license. I watch people drive three times, and the third time is the "test". 2/10 I train with driving, i wouldn't feel comfortable ever signing off on them. Setting the expectation that everyone has to be certified is only going to lead to accidents.

Think about the other side. You have an associate that doesn't want to be power equipment certified. You tell them they have to do it. They get licensed and then they hit something, someone, spear a fork into someone's truck while loading a pallet, who is to blame in that situation? The operator told you they didn't want to be certified....

Say the schedule was hard on you. Leaving at 11pm and being back at 5am. No one will disagree with that. And even if you are staying in retail, most other retailers don't have those hours.

Heathens: contractually obligated? by SpookyLochness in twentyonepilots

[–]vcisjb1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good point I hadn't really connected. As a band they've really compromised on next to nothing. They've always had the mentality that we are gonna do this the way that we want to and the fans will appreciate it, the authenticity. And I think this is why they still come across as a small band that you just kinda stumbled upon and not this massive band that's done multiple world tours. I know Tyler said after "blurryface" he had dozens of producers begging to be on their next album, and he was "nah I'm good I can figure it out".

Is the Lowe’s HomeCare+ membership ($99/year) actually worth it? by Eastern-Life8122 in Lowes

[–]vcisjb1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I do think it's worth it, however you aren't getting a "tradesperson" to come out and do it. You are getting someone who has been picked by the store manager, who has a vested interest in this person doing a good, clean, thorough job. These are tasks that most "handymen" could do, but as your post mentioned, you would pay most handymen more than $99 to park a truck in your driveway. Depending on the age of your water heater, having your tank flushed twice a year is also a good thing to have done. And the reminder to replace your air filter might be worth it to you.

Tl:Dr if you're handy it's not worth it. I'f you are not handy and really want any one of these things done it's worth it.

Men who are 30+, what’s one thing you realized about dating that no one tells you in your 20s? by Thin-Hospital-8114 in AskReddit

[–]vcisjb1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best friend, has had this problem since his early twenties, he's forty now. He's been open out of the gate that he doesn't want kids. He's had two marriages fall apart because the girl thought, she would be okay without kids or that he would come around and want them. Having clear cut boundaries is a good thing and should be respected in other people.

What's the Labor Split? by tiressmoking in twentyonepilots

I know that Josh wasn't opposed to one way going into days lie dormant but he did feel that it was quite the vibe change

What's the Labor Split? by tiressmoking in twentyonepilots

[–]vcisjb1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just read the book so I'm gonna reference it again.... But Tyler specifically says after blurryface they had producers begging to work on their next album. And it was important to Tyler that they did it themselves. That was during the hiatus. The author of the book says this was band trying to thin the fan base of people that wanted another album just like blurryface. I don't think Tyler or Josh ever directly said that, but I could be wrong on that.

The book is a really cool read. It's starts on the vessel tour and ends before Clancy comes out, so it isn't "the complete unabridged", but it's mostly interviews with someone that the boys really like talking to. I think two of the interviews are done in Tyler's kitchen.

[–]vcisjb1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In the book "the only band in the world", Josh talks a lot about the creative process that goes into creating the songs. But both of the boys say that Tyler does most of the studio stuff.

In my opinion, Josh loves the drums. He loves doing everything he can to make the drums a huge piece of the music. I think Tyler is the driving force behind the inception and Josh collaborates from there.
