The kids are exposed to these hyper addictive algorithms, and the garbage content that gains ubiquity as a result, from a super young age. There is no way it's not screwing up development.

I appreciate you taking my question in the spirit it was meant, and the thoughtful response.

I guess what rubbed me the wrong way about CEO Douchebag's comment was that it discounts just how relatively enormous of an expense production can be for the small artists trying to make a living. I've spent some time in the music industry and it has left me with a bad taste in my mouth. The necessary evil of commerce intersecting with art is a big reason for that, especially coming to the realization of just how necessary that evil is.

But yes I agree, it is definitely possible to create excellent art of high technical quality from home.

I totally get where you're coming from, have done the DIY production thing, etc. And with full respect to the piece of art you put your soul into, I have to ask, was it a commercial success? As in, paying the bills at home? Because in my experience, you do end up having to invest those kinds of sums if you want to make a return at that level. I hate how music is commerce, trust me. But that's just what I've seen so far.

Production cost for a full length album STARTS at around $10-15k.

That's a lot more than "zero" in my book.

What a savage.

When I deleted my Instagram, I was initially hesitant because "my friends were all on it." But when none of them ever spoke to me again outside of Instagram, I understood that they were not friends.

True. I've also decided I hate the professional world.

I dropped Instagram, and couldn't be happier to have left that cesspool behind. No Facebook, no Instagram, no Tik Tok, no Snapchat, no LinkedIn, no no no. I'm done with the bullshit. Need to contact me? Then you probably already have my phone number, text or call. Don't have my number? Sounds like you probably don't need to get in touch with me, then.

Just wait till we can hook our neuralink implants into the system! Authoritarians and jackbooted thugs are absolutely SALIVATING at the prospect of unbridled access to our every thought. Coming soon! 😃👍

Are you already familiar with Framework Laptop?

I miss r/livesound. It was a fantastic resource and a very active community.

From what, exactly? Refugees trying to survive after Israel blew up their homes? That's who was in the camp Israel blew up.

Don't you love how Saudi Arabia, the country who was very obviously behind 9/11, hasn't suffered a single negative consequence as a result of their actions? They literally got away with 9/11. And then the US invaded some unrelated countries. Mind blowing.

These types give me STRONG swinger vibes. There's just something about the way the couples interact with each other that says, OK these people are obviously desperately bored with each other and into some FREAKY shit.

Black skinnies and a black tee. Every single day lol

..... Yarrrrr mateys

I want it to be adopted by Framework

.....Got any openings? 😭

All of these flashy Arab projects are giant grifts. The royalty want to solidify their legacy with megaprojects, but they are essentially overgrown children so they have to be dazzled and entertained with buzzword-laden presentations of CGI utopias, which they then tout as "their project." It gets less than halfway built, and then sits in the desert to decay in the sand as a monument to stupidity and human exploitation.

Why does he appear embalmed in the thumbnail?
