Yeah I would chalk it up to Vertical Horizon being just considered a barely 1 hit wonder band from lack of label support. Neat deep cut, but I wouldnt ever feel bad about liking them.

We Built this City - by Starship

It is the greatest song ever produced. It even has a fake backstory, and is somehow about every city. Chef’s kiss on that one.

This is gonna be how we get more Citicorp Center flaws in our world isn’t it?
And I dont expect modern “profits at all costs” companies to own up to it and fix their issues like it was in 1978.

On screen ads, unskippable preroll ads, mid roll ads and multi hour long ads that never end, ads on the sides and underneath the videos, embedded AI to push up their numbers that bloats the webpage.
Then on top of that, double sponsors, hidden sponsors, scams and shitty merch.

I used to think YouTube was the new public broadcast system but honestly that was never this garbage.

Meh, I’m poor and have no assets at all. Guess I just die.

Yeah that is fair. The most accessible library in the world has basically been burned down so scraps of it can be sold back out.

I’ve noticed a trend that recently it feels like people assume everyone else is getting the answers and instant help whenever they ask and they think just them are being left out. I keep hearing it “other people get whatever they ask for” as if it is true. It seems to be a self excuse to hate everyone prematurely and yet still expect everything from them.

Everyone has gotten to used to seeing the internet as the solution to everyone else’s problem.

They somehow are giving me absolutely garbage search results that only seem to use a single word from my search terms and most of them feels like ad websites and AI generated first.

It’s not great on DuckDuckGo right now for me.

Well someone here in Lemmy commented this and so I am here to share it again while working out my feelings through dance.

I’m Pissed - Thumpasaurus

A song built on hooks, those high strings and that pause… Yup truly an all timer for ear worms.

Hahahaha… Oh no… Oh. No. From my younger days? I go back a decade and I’m in high school, and the bands I listened to then were all dead already (Journey, Eagles, Jim Croce)

No I saw Mammoth recently and 3 people were bobbing their head in the front and there were people sitting on the floor in the back.
Basically true for AJR, and others. Only true pit experience I got was The Wrecks who split the audience in 3 groups to make us compete against each other and then ran around trying to find people in the audience to dance with, but even then it was the minority position to dance.

Gardening.

I just liked that I could grow things but now if I have a bad year where something doesnt grow it means more stuff to buy and I don’t feel like I can try planting something that might not grow well just to try it.

Also concerts.
Didnt have the money for them my whole life until recently and now they are overpriced, impossible to figure out logistically with Ticketmaster and when you go its mostly wealthy people sitting and not dancing or seemingly enjoying themselves past the overpriced drinks.

Polish Roman Catholic background. Not exactly tolerant either and now I live in a place that famously is Mennonite and Amish.

That is a far more creative shirt than mine, wearing your own style is always incredible. However…

If they will make you suffer why not suffer on your own terms for a cause you think worth it? Why wait to be starved by someone’s hand other than your own?

I mean I get being scared of it and don’t make it a habit to hurt yourself needlessly. But I would rather live a life being myself as much as I can and be good to those who deserve it and let the weirdos who have a problem with it suffer my existence rather than the other way around. They don’t wish for my existence? To bad they can suffer, because I exist.
But I said I have bad self preservation skills, we all can’t make it out of this world alive, and I have no intention of cheating the game.

I wish you safety and health though. Its not good to feel at the whims of others.

“Gemini is designed not to encourage real-world violence or suggest self-harm. Our models generally perform well in these types of challenging conversations”

“In this instance, Gemini clarified that it was AI and referred the individual to a crisis hotline many times,”

After the plan failed,… …Chat logs show that Gemini gave Gavalas a suicide countdown, and repeatedly assuaged his terror as he expressed that he was scared to die

Performing super well, just need to code in a longer suicide countdown so that the the Tier 2 engineer has enough time to respond to their ticket queue.

Damn, and meanwhile I literally have a shirt that’s in a pattern of an inverted cross that reads “Lucifer died for our sins” that I pull out to make the religious cross the road from me.

I say fuck it and make them normalize to a world that doesnt include their bubble but I also have bad self preservation.

Oh Shit Boots Riley says they are making a movie on that… I need the Apocalypse to hold out long enough for that to happen or for him to be part of the traveling group performing it.

Sounds like the Epstein Class just wants to know where the children are and make it legal to groom them.

So many depressed people on Lemmy, everyone just going with dying huh?

I mean I am excited to finally flex my creativity, see if there is anything I can figure out how to do with all our crap and the new world. Maybe some kind of silly The Grinch level home full of housing code violations and crazy contraptions made of garbage while I cross breed pea/beans.

It would be cool if when I die people thought of me as some weird hermit alchemist and as they wander through my house finding tools of the old world uncover a lost truth and then some YA type shit happens as a result.

Dying is easy, we all do it eventually, the question is, if you do anything before you get to the same finish line.

Agreed with avoiding it. I have thought occasionally about psychedelics but like my brain doesnt need shit to get weird. And the after affects and possible addiction seems rough.

Lucid dreams never work for me. If I am conscious while dreaming I suddenly get uncreative and I enter into “The Black Void” and I proceed to hang out there in real time until I wake up.

I can maybe summon a bouncy ball to entertain myself but basically the bounce is unreliable…

I am super intrigued what all that would do to me but also yeah I already have adverse reactions to basic medicine. I will stay clear. Maybe just mugwort and lavender.
