I sent a message to Tidal support. I'll decide to end my subscription or not based on their response

I have not spent any time whatsoever listening to AI slop music to be able to identify it just from listening

The internet was a mistake. I'm going back to physical media from bands I've seen with my own two eyes

Wait, based on the album art are these just AI generated slop by someone squatting on the Muse brand?

No offense to the lady with the nice voice who sings this song but this is not Muse

Great!

1) Trump got 49.8% of votes in the 2024 election. That is not a majority.

2) A sizable chunk of those votes were cast by people that know Trump is a bullshitter, and like it for various reasons.

3) and maybe most important: OP isn't talking about national partisan politics

This is a good point! The 10 years I owned a car I always drove a manual, and the need to always pay attention to your speed and what you're doing definitely made me a better driver

Next time hopefully they announce this earlier in the day but good nonetheless:

I shouldn't even engage with this comparison but tbh I think a despicable person who also deceives people about his true nature and puts on a friendly/professional demeanor to conceal it is *more* evil than an otherwise equally despicable person who does not hide it

Regarding the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them".

Epstein sexually abused countless people. I'm not sure why you would compare his evil to an offensive social media post.

Compare it to Trump's own violence? Sure. But a social media post? Come on now

This obviously hurts morale, but I think it also directly shapes the culture. The org is a whole bunch of people who cope with things by shrugging and saying "well, what are you gonna do. That's just the way it is".

I have the privilege of not being stuck, the privilege to be pissed off

The very high ratio of H1B holders is making more sense now. The people who stay longer/get left behind are the ones who are coerced by the immigration system to have fewer alternatives.

Oh nice, but yeah they seemed to have a good handle on doing it over the summer, I'm not sure what would be any different about today that prevents them from just doing it again

Tbh for any intentional fouling you should have to make an attempt at a legitimate play on the ball or else they get the free throws AND the ball back.

But that's harder to police than just "blow the whistle any time anyone gets close" at the end of the game
