I was told, to my face by management, that my peace was to be valued. Everyone’s peace was to be valued.

Maybe someone doesn’t want to wear their headsets all of the time in a place they pay a lot of money for. You’re making it sound like there is no control for anything and just let it be. But someone probably hasn’t told you that, if it can be helped, it should be helped.

Yeah, same too.

I hate the fuck out of advertising and marketing. There’s no way I’d last even an hour, having someone tell me to go out and get people to buy products. Products and services that might not have been very well worth the money, but it has to be someone’s job to convince another to buy it anyways. You become the very thing you absolutely loathe.

Ahhh, that’s the catch. Now I don’t want one.

I’m fine on DDR4. DDR5 feels to me, something I’ll get into in like 5 - 10 years from now. This is from someone who has sat on DDR2 and DDR3 machines for extended periods of time. If they’re still doing the job I want them to, no complaints.

His dumbfuck son will try for office.

My tastes have only slightly inched a direction, but nothing outwardly. A lot of my tastes are considered vanilla as hell.

You’re going to have to do what I did and just leap off of FB for your own sake. If nobody wants to follow you or reach out elsewhere, then it’s their loss.

Sure, there are fediverse versions of FB out there, but they’ve yet to gain ground yet steadily are. But, people are going to be glued to what they use the most and people are stubborn so it’s a matter of you jump or stay.

There were no individual that invented capitalism. However, the closest individual that likely is the perpetrator to modern stage capitalism is a scottish philosopher Adam Smith.

So, I would say him.

I’d also include Henry Ford, who pushed for the idea of 40 hour work weeks and 5 days a week.

9/11

I would’ve wanted to see what America today would become if that hadn’t happened. America had built up a lot of its reputation off the back of WW2 and was seen still as a good ally. George W Bush would not have become president for a second term because of how bad he was in office. American citizens would not be subjected to governmental survelliance to the extent it was after 9/11. And we wouldn’t have a recession that cratered the economy.

6th, 7th and 8th grade. I felt that they were the worst because, everything I remembered that was built up from the previous grades just fell apart. I was involved with an unhealthy friend circle and didn’t really care for it, I lost the friends I actually cared for prior to this circle. Nothing felt that innocent and true anymore.

Then I would say Junior and Senior years of high school. I felt they were a great contrast to the more colorful freshman and sophomore years I had. I was starting to have feelings about how directionless I really was and how I felt I was going to be very lost after it is all over. I was also grasping to the fact that I may not have all of the friends I’ve acquired throughout my time in high school, something that wouldn’t come true until about 18 years later where all but a few are just gone.

Assholes. All of the people from the instances mentioned, tend to have assholes who’re prone to run up to you to be snarky. They also are probably behind downvote parades, not like downvoting has a meaning in the fediverse, but if you’re looking for some measurement based on what’s said, that’s going to throw it off.

As recorded by Steam - No More Room in Hell, which is a free game. 1,060 hours since 2013.

Just read the rules and you’d be fine. But, a lot of people don’t read the rules and wonder why their posts get removed.

I’d include .zip .blahj.zone or whatever it is. Also .ca

Seems like a fair number of unreasonable assholes come from those instances.

No.

Come back when you’re 50 or 55.

“social permission”?

Society didn’t even permit you and others to spread AI onto everyone to begin with.

That’s honestly how piracy in general should be. But as we’ve learned, have learned and seemingly continue to learn. That, the reason a number of great piracy sources go down the way they did was because, someone had a very big mouth and drew attention that ended up costing us great sources that had lasted a good long while.

These days, it’s get your pirating in as much as you can, take your loot and provide only to those who know how and when to shut up.

I think people just like their logos and brand first and music last except ‘Touch of Grey’.

They only seem to release music if they think it’ll do nothing but make major success through radio and appease record labels.

See their song ‘Thunder’.

Agreed.

I mean, I felt like AC/DC focused more on brand recognition when Brian Johnson took over after Bon Scott died. Their music were aiming for radio appeal, not that no musician should because it means being successful, but it almost was formulaic. Thunderstruck for example, became a staple for sports soundtracks and stadium like events.

And they’re a victim of their own success as you’ve talked here, where someone who didn’t grow up with the band, will only focus on the popular songs. Despite them having grown up with at least a couple albums that AC/DC did release, like their last album ‘Power Up’ was in 2020. It’s the same deal with Nirvana, always wearing that double-X smiley shirt or having the poster and only saying they cared about Nevermind. The same for Guns 'N Roses where it’s always both of the Appetite for Destruction albums and songs like Welcome to the Jungle and November Rain.

I think it honestly just speaks about a fan’s depth as to how much they like bands. An actual fan likes a band and addresses both flaw and success. A casual fan only likes what was popular and nothing else for cheap nods.
