I also choose this man’s dead wife.

This is what fucked Bernie Madoff.

If this person had gone to VC’s with a pitch for ‘AI listening model’ with the explanation that “Now musicians can up load their songs to streaming services and AI will listen to make sure their pitch and tonality is accurate and that the beat is correct.” or some bullshit like that. Then it would have been ‘legal’

I hope you forgot to put an /s at the end of your comment

I remember watching this movie when I was around 12 years old. Had never heard of it before just started watching it and loved it. It’s It has become one of my top 3 favorite movies. It also introduced me to the world of the blues and some of the best blues musicians/singers.

I remember buying the soundtrack on CD and playing it over and over again. I think I was the only pre-teen that knew of Cab Calloway and could sing “hi-de-ho” .

wow, I was a weird kid

My opinion:

Humanity doesn’t evolve sociologically or technologically with out weird. If the world was all middle of the road beige “yes” men and women to what those in power say is correct way to live, laugh and love then the interesting things in this world die.

“Weird” people are the ones that challenge this middle of the road thinking. They are the brave ones. They are the ones that say fuck it to this middle of the road life and just do their thing. I envy the Weird, they have to fight against the easier/conformist way of living to be themselves, but by doing so they are happier and in a small way they make the world a better more interesting place.

In this context I talk of weird as in good weird, trump et. al. are not weird by my definition they are instead the ones fighting against the weird because to them it’s scary, different and it challenges their hold on reality and what is “right.”

True. But the people advocating for these laws don’t want to deal with nuance and compromise on what it would take to have a society where you educate people on sex in a healthy and positive way. These prohibitionists see the world as either bad or good - nothing in between. Good (how ever they decide to define it) must win no compromises, and the weapon that they use is unfounded fear of the bad and it works.

And the reason fear works is because it is easy and visceral and reality’s complexity doesn’t work for media’s need for sound bites.

At least nothing like this happens in the airline industry

but now we have a scapegoat

I didn’t voluntarily leave reddit I got banned for some random comment (I honestly don’t know what it was) and the appeals process was bullshit. So I found Lemmy. Haven’t been back to reddit since don’t miss it.

But I still don’t understand it

BTW use Piped for this link - just getting ahead of the Piped bot

I’ve been on both sides of this meme

The interesting thing was she was/is a middle school teacher. You’d think she would encourage questions, not just look it up.

But I guess she was trying to help me not be ignorant because I was just killing time … at a party

reminds me of a story:

Got invited to a dinner party of people I didn’t know well, they were friends of my then girlfriend.

So we were sitting around before dinner chatting and drinking and I brought up a question about something that we were all talking about. I don’t remember what it was but the point was just to keep conversation going and to interact with people. BUT one lady just looked at me and said “why don’t you just Google it?!” Shut down conversation completely.

Sure I could Google it Karen but that doesn’t make for good conversation!

But that’s not true I’ve heard it straight from the tech-bros mouth. They build these technologies to help us, the little people. To spread peace and love and build deeper connections with the people that we love. I’m sure that they feel pain and guilt that they have to deposit those large checks into their bank accounts. /s

I remember that game. My dad got it from a very conservative/racist family member - with a note that read something like “too bad I’m white and have to work for my money.”

I don’t think my dad ever talked to him again.

This is the most capitalistic game on the market and you still get a $200 UBI

It’s a video of a guy that falls off the edge of the world. You can hear him saying “see I was right!” as he bounces off the shell of the turtle.

Yep. If you are not willing to make the changes to your habits around eating and exercise as well as work on your mental well being then you will not see the long term changes you are looking for.

I think for many people it’s no so much that they want to regain the weight, it’s just they don’t know how to make the changes that they need to make to lose the weight and keep it off. And I think the biggest change that people need to make is looking at their mental health and how that is contributing to their long term weight gain.
