Drove through there (Boring) an hour ago. It’s a cute place
A friend of mine bought a house for $40k under market because a murder suicide happened there the year before.
He said, “that sucks, but it’s not like I knew them or anything”
Great quote, but this isn’t really a children’s movie
Strap in. It’s an election year
Bought mine in 2017. Mine is double. It makes zero sense
I’m pretty left/lean socialist. The tankies that annoy me from those instances are pro authoritarian communists who say shit like “Stalin did nothing wrong” with no irony whatsoever. It’s not really about bickering over ideological purity past a certain point, some of that shit makes a good case for the horseshoe theory
I worked for a few labels back in the day. Bands could make money depending on if they’re discerning with who they signed with. Some indie labels split profits down the middle after costs are recouped
Problem is each and every revenue stream is a fraction of what it used to be
Daniel Ek (Spotify CEO) is 3x richer than Paul McCartney. If that doesn’t bun you out enough, he uses his fortune to invest in sketchy AI for military applications., plus you know… Joe Rogan and all that shit
Fuck that guy in the face
Nah. My band’s releases that I have the rights to are not on Spotify on purpose. I’m not going to give you free use of my art so you can pay myself and my bandmates almost enough to get a sandwich every quarter.
Fuck right off with that insulting shit.
I worked at labels for years… that’s not the way it works
If an artist is enough of a dummy to blow their entire advance unwisely quitting their job, spend months in the studio, and get an elaborate tour bus: the label will pay for it but those expenditures are weighed against your royalties. Scummy labels exist, sure, but often the artist went on a spending spree with what anointed to a loan the label was paying them.
Spotify also pays absolute garbage and fucks bands harder than most labels were ever able to
Thankfully this aesthetic has died off in most places, but the 5 year old head unit in my car has weird 3D icons of all the menu items complete with drop shadows, skewed perspective as if they’re floating in space, and reflections. The background is some weird Tron shit and all the text looks like it’s supposed to be some medical tech company from 2010
All the Battles videos are really creative. “My Machines” with Gary Neumann might be my favorite and the entirety of the video happens on an escalator
Y’all get invited to parties?
My mortgage is cheaper than any rent I could get in my city and interest paid on said mortgage is tax deductable.
Renting is fine and dandy, but most people want someplace stable after their 30s
I knew someone who bought one of the $150 houses and lost her ass. I never got all the details but it sounded awful
A lot of this shit is affected by what you eat. If I eat a lot of sugar and gluten it definitely affects my skin and dandruff 2-3 days later.
Besides what a lot of people said, try to stick to foods that don’t cause inflammation or reactions.
