Not Gen Z. But if I’m reading this right, bartenders are annoyed these customers pay for their drinks immediately? That’s definitely the norm in my country and takes maybe 10 seconds for the bartender to grab the eftpos machine and for me to tap my phone to it.

They also bring up the issue that they occupy space. But holy shit, if you don’t want people in your bar, just close down. These bars exist because it’s a place people can go to hang out. If you don’t want to be a welcoming place, you don’t deserve to be in business.

This reads like it was written by an angry, bitter boomer

I’ve very recently gotten into wrestling (partly because it’s on Netflix, and partly because my 6yo nephew loves Cody Rhodes).

I’ve never in the past given it any credit because it was fake. But watching it now, the fact it’s basically a soap opera does not detract from how fun it is at all

I think blind allegiance to family is a much more sad perspective

Family means nothing. Spend your time with people you love and who love you. Don’t spend time around nazi-apologists.

Did you throw the bug-out bag in the car and go? You can’t leave us hanging like that

To me this seems like a no-brainer. Don’t go.

Why would you go to an assholes wedding? I’m currently planning a wedding and if I invited someone that didn’t like me, I’d honestly rather they not come.

So. I’m not sure why you think you’d be considered an asshole. You’re two different people that aren’t friends and don’t see eye to eye. Why would you go to his wedding?

Bedroom musician here. I think you’ve summarized the overwhelming majority of musicians beautifully.

It’s not a good career goal, but if that’s why you’re making music you’re doing it for the wrong reasons. I think almost all of us realize this

If people didn’t like making music they wouldn’t do it. It’s not like doing laundry. I’d say this is true for basically any artistic endeavor.

Even the popstars turning out the most generic trash you’ve ever heard, I’m sure they still enjoy it

Never heard of this game before, I guess this must have been a particularly easy one but I like it. Thanks for sharing

What we do in the shadows. The show is based off the Taika Waititi/Jermaine Clement film of the same name. And is also written by Jermaine Clement

It’s a comedy/mocumentary about a group of vampires. The characters are really well written and it straddles the line between the banality of everyday life as a vampire, and obviously the weird supernatural aspects of vampires. It recently aired it’s final episode so you can binge it now and get through the whole thing.

If you like the office/community/parks and rec/I.T. Crowd type of stuff I think you’ll really like it

I WISH signal was ubiquitous. Half of my friends are still using Facebook Messenger so I still have to resort to using SMS for them

The initial investment can be steep, but if you stick with buying second hand modules and look for deals, it’s easier. Plus the spending only really goes down over time, at a certain point you realize you have all the modules you need, and you find yourself only buying a module or 2 a year.

Also modular stuff holds its value really well. If you buy second hand, you can basically sell a piece of gear for what you paid for it, so if you get something you don’t love, you don’t lose much.

Having said that, cardinal and vcv rack is great, vcv rack is where I started and I used that for a few years before taking the plunge

My modular synthesizer.

I love it and I’ve poured far to much money into it for something that doesn’t come close to the power of making music in a DAW. But I do love it, and it can do some cool stuff that I’ve not been able to reproduce in a DAW - like random triggers and probability. It’s also nice to get away from my computer.

As a fellow music producer, you definitely don’t need a discrete graphics card if this machine is purely for music production. Definitely better off spending that money on an audio interface and some studio monitors, or some plugins

If you think an AI can do those things almost as good as a human, you should find more capable humans to hang out with

I have quite an extensive history of scraping web sites for various data over the years, I’d be happy to help you out but I can’t really know how to help without knowing what website your trying to scrape, different sites have their own challenges (maybe behind a login, or using JavaScript to load content - in which case a http response won’t give you what you’re after, or any number of things really).

If you give me a link to a book you want to download as an example I can take a look and help guide you through it

I think that’s exactly their point. Why would Valve tell users to “upgrade” to a more recent version of Windows? Tell them to upgrade to Linux

Death becomes her might honestly be the best film on these lists

The phones with those features have been discontinued but they were never unpopular, they were just what phones were.

Nobody 10 years ago was saying “I wish I couldn’t replace my phone battery” or “I hate that I have the option to plug my wired IEMs into my phone”

People just do what people are good at. Adapting.

Manufacturers have taken these options away because it is profitable to do so. People have largely adapted to that (although I still refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack)
