Omg so insightful. Can you do literally all bands and artists, and like, explain, like how they're not good and how people who enjoy them are l, like, you know, wrong? And how your, like totally not subjective, music choice surpasses theirs???
That'd be great. You being an ex musician and all. So unique. So niche. Such an untold story. We've got so much to learn.

Used Reddit for news, memes and funnies. Here for the same. Sometimes get involved in discussion but more often than not get too angry and have to put the phone down. Feel like you can have better discussions here than the old place, but I've noticed an uptick in right wing nut jobs and incels.
Absence of low effort 'this' and copypastas style responses is great. But I'm seeing a bit of that coming over too.
Thank you for summarising how I feel about the debates.
I sometimes go to respond to the more extreme takes and then think, haven't I said this before? And wouldn't they already know this?
The ability to counter misinformation is so diminished now. Everyone can just stand on either side holding up signs that summarise their views and leave it at that.
My Scandinavian friend said it was difficult when he came here because he would start to respond but the person had already walked past.
It's something you say when you first arrive at a meeting, or greeting someone. You also say it to strangers when you walk past each other with your dogs.
The response if you're staying to chat with someone you know is 'good, how're you?' and they say 'good' and that's about it - you either move on, or start an actual conversation.
but in passing with strangers or colleagues in the corridor, it's also 'howyagoin', smile maybe a nod and you keep moving.
So many people I know through the workplace have done the Myers Briggs nonsense and hold onto their persona like a badge of pride. They're well meaning, intelligent people who don't know the background of MB and how it's as scientifically rigorous as those paper chatterboxes we made in school to help you find out which boy you were going to marry by picking a colour.
I don't say anything when people bring it up. I also have a few star sign friends. Sigh.
Feels like a safety issue for other patrons too. If I went to the gym and found a guy there who wasn't actually working out (presumably sleeping) I'd be pretty freaked out.
Unfortunately I have to use this cesspool a lot for work.
In any case, something I've noticed is the 'contribute your thoughts to this topic (for ai)' are always responded to by people who are clearly using chatgpt.
Moonfall was quite entertaining and simultaneously so bad. And the mooning (pun intended) over Elon must be making everyone who worked on that movie (presumably in 2020-21) absolutely cringe. I did.
