  • bright side to him winning is that it made a ton of people I don’t like really mad

    I'm genuinely curious here so I have a question for you. Why is making people mad so appealing in this situation? I can't really see a true benefit beyond personal spite. Is that all it boils down to?

  • I still have my library of tracks from the mid 2000s on a drive in my PC. Hell, I still have my iPod Classic.

    That said, I spend 99% of my time streaming music.

    That said², I never ever engage with playlists. They only serve to poison the well that is my algorithm. I have a tightly curated Youtube video algorithm and, even though Youtube Music's algorithm is dogshit compared to Spotify, I still protect it at all costs.

    You can still be an active listener on streaming services.

    I'm currently three quarters of the way through Decapitated's Organic Hallucinosis record while I clean the house. For the last month straight I've been mainlining Steven Wilson's solo records as well as Porcupine Tree records. Music is not dead for the active listeners in the world. The focus should be on encouraging kids to appreciate a good album every once in a while.

  • Personally, I'm not feeling that same vibe. I think the solidarity against the US is a very good thing, but the sheer amount of ways Canada is just "America Light" is very depressing. Its to the point that our flag has been so sullied by absolutely shit tier movements in the last 5 years that I can't stand to see it anymore.

    Every time I see a private flag pole, bumper stickers or anything kind of patriotic merch my knee jerk reaction is "I bet this dude's a fuckwad." I know that I'm painting with a huge and shitty brush but I just can't even fight against it anymore. I know it's wrong. I just don't care, and that makes me sad.

    I live comfortably here, but given even a minutely convenient reason to emigrate I think I'd take it.

    Canada is a car infested, anti-human shit hole just like America. To paraphrase Steve Harris of Iron Maiden a bit "We oil the jaws of the war capitalist machine and feed it with our babies immigrants."

  • I worked at probably the best luthiery in North America. Got let go because I couldn't keep up. I have tremors which makes fine dextrous work very difficult. At the time I was also going through a brutal break-up too.

    Really bad time for me. Also working at this place was like playing a couple good games of beer league hockey and immediately getting drafted into an NHL team. I feel like if I took another shot at it, it would go much better second time around. But it just wasn't meant to be at the time. No matter what, it was always going to be a massive uphill climb, but I was super dedicated to doing it and doing it well. It's unfortunate it came to such an abrupt end, but I understand why it had to happen.

  • I totally understand where you're coming from but I also understand why people like the curated experience. When I went to Mexico for the first time, I went to a resort because in that moment all I cared about was not having to care about anything, if you know what I mean.

    There's a time and a place for both styles of travel.
