Not gen z but I just don't drink(i worked in clubs and didnt like that scene either). I think there's a growing portion of gen z that is like that if I recall what I've read correctly. They drink less.

I genuinely don't know what to do in my smaller suburb where the verbs aren't "look" "eat" or "drink". I wanna do. Museums are mostly boring to me, there's little interaction. I don't meet people at the library or gym. The volunteer things ive done had a weird gap where younger people and older people have more free time than middle aged workers and parents so I had few peers at those too.

I'm open to any and all ideas. Feels like things never truly changed back after covid as far as community events and social opportunities.

During the tide pods craze I saw that they were less than 20% of the market. Just a heads up. Most use liquid detergent.

Original posters autotune example was off too - 99% of commercial records use pitch correction. The other 1% are the ones they write stories about "nO AuToTuNe" cuz the reality is its on everything. I mix records. Easy to find autotune errors in live performances on youtube. It's not that they can't sing, the audience has been trained for perfection(they believe).

Just watched this last night. That bird "the mouth" is beautiful and incredible. Love Benn Jordan's insane content.

If you watch some of the other vids it does a perfect r2d2 impression, don't recall if it did it in Benn's.

Also if a website is terrible or the article is suspect, the top comment is usually going to be addressing that.

Yet I too often am looking for the discussion. When I see there's high quality discourse or valuable experiences being shared, I'm more likely to read the full content of the article.

Because they like to make stuff more than they value a subscription. I'm gonna write music no matter what happens to it.

As a typeface and legibility enthusiast I obviously have my problems with it.

I've found that in the creative work I do, lots of things moved away from skeuomorphism too far. Yes it's easier to read the text on a flat black background with all the controls in a grid. but you lose some intuition compared to when it actually resembled a hardware unit that has logical places for things.

I'm in the market for a new vehicle so I'm particular interested in that last line: which companies are bringing back physical controls in cars?

They mean inherently I think. As in it doesn't enforce any "better business" practices. The only threat is public shaming through them. But they themselves won't actually solve it.

Wow. I'm dealing with too many mental health problems to have that optimistic an idea even form in my head. Awesome take. I miss those days.

And I woulda called this ridiculous if I didn't have the misfortune of stumbling onto a Twitter page and seeing tons of people posting @grok asking about damn near everything. I didn't realize it had gone that far. I hope you're right!

> the wealth tax was based on assumed returns rather than actual returns

That does sound poorly thought thru. Why not just calculate it instead of "assumed returns"? Seems unfair on its face and bound to go wrong.

GP didn't state they were detoxing they asked for book recs. One or two reddit posts shouldn't send them into the doomscrolling abyss.

Not many people seem to feel the same about spotify which is a shame. Pretty bad at paying artists.

Ask in the subreddit of the genre? Those are some of the more mature subs usually.
