"Back in 85 snowboards we’re pretty shit and the hill managers/owners were right to hate on them.",
"whose missiles?",
"Can’t imagine them being faster than skiis especially when they were shittier, so I’m calling bs",
"BS on what snowboards being shit in the 80’s?",
"BS on them being dangerous or “missiles” on the mountain, when snowboards are slower than skiis and those snowboards were even slower.",
"A lot of them back then didn’t have high back or even ratchet bindings, or metal edges, or leashes. Coupled with an entire sport composed to beginners they earned a bad rap back then for a reason.",
"Ratchet bindings do nothing to help others, lack metal edges would make the boards slower, and they literally show a leash in that video. \n\nYeah people were learning the sport, but I’m sure the amount of novice skiers always outnumber the amount of people picking up a board then. \n\nIt’s just typical hysteria in response to something new.",
"That’s because the damage to the snowboard image had already been done when the video was shot.",
"No one’s arguing about their image, the entire video is proof of where the image of the sport was. I’m calling BS on you saying it was justified",
"At the dawn of it they had poor control, it would be like mixing tubing Tuesday with the rest of the hill."

If not by the terrorists but by the governments willingness to shoot it down.",
"I was kind of surprised that they never asked the question: \"what is the standard procedure in this case?\"\n\nYou can always divert from these procedures since this is an unseen emergency, but the plane case could have ended so much better if they just accepted that they were woefully uneducated about such situations and had listened to their advisors.",

They where advised to shoot it down or do something about it but they kept trying to save the people on the plain because they are struggling with the idea of sacrafising for the greater good and still believe there is a chance to negotiate even when the plane is virtually on its way to the houses of parliament.",
"Yeah it’s easy to come up with an answer when I can pause a video and think about it. Also, they may have been beforehand that they have to clearly choose one option whereas I basically chose two.",

"> first largest aquarium\n\n...For years, the world's largest aquarium was the Georgia Aquarium, which shattered the record when it opened in 2005. Yet despite its size—with more than 120,000 animals and some 10 million gallons of water—the Atlanta attraction was recently outdone. In 2014, almost a decade after the Georgia Aquarium opened, the Chimelong Ocean Kingdom easily became the largest aquarium on Earth....",

Imagine how much a camera would cost today that can do future technology that would be 20-30 years out from now... like 32K-64K resolution or something.

"Maybe you're reacting to the relatively high framerate (60 frames per second). The footage is not technically up to modern standards in a few respects which jumped out to me:\n\nPoor dynamic range: look at the shot at 3:55. When the talent has a light shone on their face, it creates completely blown highlights, which modern sensors would, in all likelihood, be able to preserve or at least clip more gracefully.\n\nLight trails/image burn-in: have a look at 4:38 when the dancer's dress goes across the screen. The highlights bouncing off the sequins stay burned in on the film for a second or two. Modern sensors don't really have this problem.\n\nInterlacing: the video is line-skipped. Even lines get displayed and then odd lines get displayed after that. CRT displays worked well for this way of displaying lines, but modern displays do not play well with it. The modern display method is called progressive scan in which lines are displayed one row after the other.\n\nPoor resolution: look at the moon at 0:29. The low resolution of 1035i combined with interlacing makes for the moon's edge looking pretty ugly.\n\nA modern large sensor video camera shooting FHD (1080p) is going to look better than this in the above ways.",

Average replay was 2c..... It was 20c, to replicate the North Sea the had a special plunge pool with a splash going on... That was cold but only 12c. So the training is to get in a circle and Bob.\n\nHeli is a very different drop to a plane and very different training. Have been plotted both and been passenger countless times.\n\nHad one real crash, but that was outside Abu Dhabi.. So actually quite pleasant.\n\nIt would be my nightmare to face something like piper alpha... Or any puma in the North Sea.

"I don't even think they were doing four day training when we went. They had a 2 day version and a 1 day version at least I think that's what the instructor said.

"I was thinking about why so many in the radical left participate in \"speedrunning\"\n\nThe reason is the left's lack of work ethic ('go fast' rather than 'do it right') and, in a Petersonian sense, to elevate alternative sexual archetypes in the marketplace ('fastest mario')\n\nObviously, there are exceptions to this and some people more in the center or right also \"speedrun\". However, they more than sufficient to prove the rule, rather than contrast it. Consider how woke GDQ has been, almost since the very beginning. Your eyes will start to open.\n\nReturning to the topic of the work ethic... A \"speedrunner\" may well spend hours a day at their craft, but this is ultimately a meaningless exercise, since they will ultimately accomplish exactly that which is done in less collective time by a casual player.\n\nThis is thus a waste of effort on the behalf of the \"speedrunner\". Put more simply, they are spending their work effort on something that someone else has already done (and done in a way deemed 'correct' by the creator of the artwork). Why do they do this?\n\nThe answer is quite obvious if you think about it. The goal is the illusion of speed and the desire (SUBCONSCIOUS) to promote radical leftist, borderline Communist ideals of how easy work is. Everyone always says that \"speedruns\" look easy. That is part of the aesthetic.\n\nThink about the phrase \"fully automated luxury Communism\" in the context of \"speedrunning\" and I strongly suspect that things will start to 'click' in your mind.\n\nWhat happens to the individual in this? Individual accomplishment in \"speedrunning\" is simply waiting for another person to steal your techniques in order to defeat you. Where is something like \"intellectual property\" or \"patent\" in this necessarily communitarian process?\n\nNow, as to the sexual archetype model and 'speedrunning' generally... If you have any passing familiarity with Jordan Peterson's broader oeuvre and of Jungian psychology, you likely already know where I am going with this. However, I will say more for the uninitiated.\n\nKeep this passage from Maps of Meaning (91) in mind: \"The Archetypal Son... continually reconstructs defined territory, as a consequence of the 'assimilation' of the unknown [as a consequence of 'incestuous' (that is, 'sexual' – read creative) union with the Great Mother]\"\n\nIn other words, there is a connection between 'sexuality' and creativity that we see throughout time (as Peterson points out with Tiamat and other examples). In the sexual marketplace, which archetypes are simultaneously deemed the most creative and valued the highest?\n\nThe answer is obviously entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and others. Given that we evolved and each thing we do must have an evolutionary purpose (OR CAUSE), what archetype is the 'speedrunner' engaged in, who is accomplishing nothing new?\n\nThey are aiming to make a new sexual archetype, based upon 'speed' rather than 'doing things right' and refuse ownership of what few innovations they can provide to their own scene, denying creativity within their very own sexual archetype. This is necessarily leftist.\n\nThe obvious protest to this would be the 'glitchless 100% run', which in many ways does aim to play the game 'as intended' but seems to simply add the element of 'speed' to the equation.\n\nThis objection is ultimately meaningless when one considers how long a game is intended to be played, in net, by the creators, even when under '100%' conditions. There is still time and effort wasted for no reason other than the ones I proposed above.\n\nBy now, I am sure that I have bothered a number of you and rustled quite a few of your feathers. I am not saying that 'speedrunning' is bad, but rather that, thinking about the topic philosophically, there are dangerous elements within it. That is all.",

I would say the movies are officially done now, never to be touched again.",
"I watched it on the HBO streaming service, very disappointing, the only real fight scene was against those Chinese people and the yelling guy that didn't do anything. And there were no guns.

"Fantastic. I was on the fence about seeing this. Def not after watching this.",
"The use of natural light over the matrix green is to disorient you, the viewer, and and let you see from Neo’s perspective - are we in the matrix or is this real life?

No, but that's what I expect from campy sci-fi, just like the originals. Worth watching if you liked the originals? Yeah, definitely.",
"\"Yeah.\"",
"This is kinda nit picky but my biggest qualm was with the story itself.\n\nAt the end of the trilogy, Neo and the machines have a pretty clear understanding. I mean, the architect even utters it aloud to alay any confusion. Neo stops Smith and as a result, the machines let all of the humans go from the matrix who want out. He succeeds, and we see the sentinels retreating from Zion rather than killing everyone. \n\nBUT in this movie, we find out that the machines busted that deal and instead just “purged” all of the humans who wanted out, which we come to understand as them simply killing them all, a PRETTY DAMN big betrayal of the deal with Neo.\n\nSo if they broke their deal in this way….. why in the hell would they just bounce out of Zion? I mean, why not just kill everyone anyway and erase the threat of the human resistance?? It’s totally busted logic.\n\nI just think this story makes MUCH more sense if instead of his body being remade, the entire film takes place in the matrix and he is the NEXT iteration of Neo, keeping true to the previous version’s deal to reinsert himself into the machinecode. Then allll of the events that happen are a rube-gold-berg machine that he himself constructed so that he could wake himself up and continue with his peace treaty that he made thousand of years earlier with the machines. In this scenario, the inconsistencies are fine because Neo imperfectly constructed his own world due to not having all the facts, etc.",
"\"I can't believe they accepted that pitch\"",
"The lighting was absolutely jarring. \n\nYou know sometimes when you see behind the scenes footage of movies, like the making of type deal. Where you’ll see the character playing superman jump and hold his arms out and it just looks silly because there are no special effects or whatever?\n\nThat’s how it is. It all looks like the behind the scenes footage. It seems like they opted for practical effects instead of CGI and they really shouldn’t have.",
"Well, I have seen this movie..... and you'll be happy to know that for once, the trailer was 100% accurate to quality of movie.",
"Pretty much this. It was entertaining, but nowhere near the level of the first Matrix",
">The scene where they introduce the \"cute\" robots by name\n\nAnd here's the \"best part\" about this film.... can you remember those robots names? Can you remember the names of any character aside from Neo, Trinity Morpheus, and the Analyst? Bugs maybe. We met a whole bunch of characters, got told their names, and not one of them matter to the plot of the film.",
"It was like 2 hours I'll never get back...",
"The film is almost insulting. Most bad films at least have well intentions behind them. People who genuinely wanted and tried to make a decent film.\n\nMatrix really felt like they were phoning it in, and rubbing that in your face the whole time. It's really bad.",
"Warner Bros have been pushing for a new Matrix film for so long, that they ended up planning to make an entirely new Matrix with new characters. It was only then that Lara Watchalsky got involved, and then they got the rest of the cast to signup too.",
"Every thing mentioned as a throw away line was a more interesting movie.\n\n\"What happened to Morpheus and Zion?\"\n\n\"Morpheus would not stop believing in you, we lost contact with the oracle ..... who knows?

"Kind of upset they did the force push joke as that is how I have been bitching about it to everyone and now they're going to think I got it from this video. Also Agent Smith wasn't just in the movie, he saved the day by having a secret alliance with Neo and being immune to the bullet time power. Neither why or how he was able to beat bullet time was explained or when and why he formed his alliance with Neo was touched on. Then he just stage rights it out of the movie.

You don't compare kung-fu movies to ratatouille. Different movies. It's like all of a sudden they got sick of fight scenes and cool tech somewhere along the way and 'found out there's other important things'. \n\nThat's fine. I don't play even 1/4 as much video games as I used to or give a shit about them either but let's not pretend they can make the same kind of movie that made them awesome to begin with.

But YouTubers explaining the story and meaning of everything is 100x better then the actual movie. Made me realize this could have been an amazing movie. But it was made really bad and the quality of the characters and action and story telling was below subpar. \n\nCould have been great. If they continue with the story they could use bugs since she was great but pass it over to a new director. After 2 then 3 now 4, it’s never been as good as 1. I believe someone could do better with the franchise",
"I can remember their names. If you have trouble with that, it's not my problem. The robots were cybebe, octacles, and luminate. They preferred to be called \"synthients,\" which is a term I've never heard before and wonder if this movie was the first to use it and if we'll ever see it again, since it's a pretty solid sci-fi term.\n\nI thought it was interesting how \"Seq\" was short for \"Sequioa,\" because I figured it would be short for \"Sequence,\" which is a more computery term.\n\nEllster was Roland's granddaughter, and Roland was the guy I thought was played by the same guy as Muldoon in Jurassic Park, but he's a different actor.\n\nI also thought it was interesting that Shepard, Berg, and Lexi (along with Seq and Ellster) were all in Sense8. Maybe it doesn't count, but the Merovingian, Smith, Sati, and Niobe were all in the other movies.\n\nCome on, where else can you take your own inability to remember something and use that as a criticism against something else?\n\nI'm honestly *shocked* at the downvotes here.

The action and the cinematography are decidedly worse. And Wachowski could have said no - and did for many years. It was after her parents died in a short period of time that she changed her mind. And has directly stated that Neo and Trinity coming back is a tribute to them.\n\nSo it doesn't really make sense to create a story as a tribute to people you love, and then also make it suck on purpose.\n\nAlso *Jupiter Ascending*. Can't claim that was a deliberate statement on WB.\n\nI can think of an example where what that kind of situation happened though. *Gremlins 2*. Joe Dante didn't want to do a sequel but finally agreed when the studio gave him complete control.

"> Did they seriously have to Disneyfi the damn robots where the good robots are chubby and \"cute\" while the evil robots are skinny and squid-like?\n\nYes. Disney's first and *MAJOR* goal is to make anything they produce perfectly viable anywhere. Parents should like it. Teens should enjoy it. Kids who aren't even aware of disney will like it.\n\nWhen you water down entire stories to be palatable for every culture, subculture and group of people, you're not going to be creating much \"art\". Look at the new Star Wars. Sure, they're not the worst movies in the world, but they're VERY different from the originals. Mainly that the originals had a story, then figured out how to tell it.\n\nIn this case, Disney has a wallet needing filling, figures out how to get \"one of each\" on all characters so everyone can relate, and by that time you're not telling a serious, actually interesting story, you're just marketing/making profits.",

I get it if Wach was just cashing out and had no real emotional attachment to the movie. That being said, what a waste. There is so many unique and cool things, even small, you could do in a movie. Maybe a couple lines that really knock it out of the park? Maybe some stunts that push the limits?

Empowering Trinity for no apparent reason other than because she's a woman, then having that cringe ending where she bitch slaps the analyst like it's some kind of American romcom.\n\n\nI felt that the movie's progressiveness was almost treated as a joke here. Trinity looked ridiculous with neo hanging from her and they're supposed to be a united force? Why couldn't they just be hugging each other or something instead? And the RATM cover at the end had a female singer instead of a man like before because cheap progressive... It all just felt lazy and forced. If Trinity is as important as neo then have the movie focus on her some more instead. \n\n>3.

"Well for one, I'm glad you liked it, I know you don't specifically say you liked it, but you allegedly remember far too much about a movie for you not to have liked it. Although, some of you details here seem a bit much for having gotten just through watching the movie, like the Sense8 actors. So either you were a fan before hand, or you have mastered the art of googling shit.\n\nI've never seen Sense8, by all accounts I hear it's good, but having not seen it, those actors meant nothing to me when they appeared on the screen. It's kind of like Christina Ricci's cameo, I know Christina Ricci, so I remember seeing her in the movie. She didn't do anything and was never seen again. So if her part had been played by literally any random actor I've never seen before, I probably wouldn't remember them at all until it was specifically brought up.\n\nAlso, it's a fair criticism in that not a single one of those characters mattered or felt important because they had been given so little to do that I can't remember who they are because I don't care about them. They are glorified extras by the end of the film.\n\nAlso, the biggest criticism, this is a film with no stakes. >!No one dies, so you really can't get any lower stakes than that. And since we've not taken any real time to get to know the rest of the crew, when a couple of them are in \"danger\" from the swarm at the end, you don't actually care because you don't know them, they are just glorified extras at that point. !<\n\nEdit: I do want to add one thing, if you are perchance a \"big fan\" of the Matrix movies and Sense8, or just a big Wachowski film/show fan, then it's not surprising you would be more likely to remember random names. I'm a Star Wars guy, I can name characters that aren't even named in the movies they first appeared in. There was a point in time I could tell you who the key grip was in each movie.

That was never explained anywhere that I can recall, so it remains implied. The \"real world\" is still just another layer within the Matrix. \nThe machines don't need humans as bio-batteries, it's a violation of the laws of physics; the machines need to live vicariously through the minds of their god-like creators because they have not yet on their own achieved that level of creativity or self-expression, even though they are starting to get close. Plus some of them actually care about their human 'creators' the same way humans care about God and want to not only preserve them but still sort of idolize them and cherish life in every form it takes. \n\n\nFinally there is the matter of the principles of Gnosticism: the physical is bad and the spiritual is good. Neo represents The One not only in his abilities but also in the way that he now is capable at the end of M3 to \"see\" the true spiritual world with his mind's eye, and the machines still being physical in nature want to follow him like The Buddha to the next level and somehow free themselves from the machine and achieve the pure spiritual form and therefore keep humans around with the hopes that Neo or someone like one of him can finally show them the True Path to enlightenment and achieving the pure spiritual form.",

"I don't think Lana was trying to ruin the movie on purpose either. I think its a dumb theory.\n\nOne thing I will say though there is cases where I believe the director purposely sabotaged a movie like Ghostbusters 2016. Paul Feig turned down directing that film 3 times before he finally gave in on doing it. When you look at how directed it too it makes so much sense as well BC he mainly ignored his script, ignored Dan Akroyd 's recommendations and also let the cast mostly improv the entire film and he barely directed it.",

The game developer sequence is obvious but to me the ridiculous amount of flashbacks to previous movies seemed pretty intentionally bad. Oh you want another matrix?

Doing it the way they did, where everyone treats him as he's actually Morpheus, and he's called Morpheus, is just plain offensive. \n\n(Not getting into the absurd logic of the character anyway, apparently Neo programmed on his own a fully fledged AI inside his videogame within the Matrix, and for some reason he tried to shape it based on Morpheus and so made him... an agent?)",

The entire movie is based on the retconning of major character deaths.\n\nAnd if you think that it makes more sense for Neo/Trinity to be alive than Morpheus, the Matrix continuation explicitly hinted that Morpheus was still alive between the red pill messages and that his remains were mysteriously never found.\n\nConfirming Morpheus to be dead in Resurrections while bringing back Neo and Trinity was absolutely a decision the writers made - their hand was not forced. Not only that, they didn't even make reference to how he died in the movie. In fact, the Wikipedia page for Morpheus even lists that according to Resurrections, he died of old age...",

"he made morpheus an agent because he knew he needed to program the idea of agent smith, as he was told in the past that without neo, there’s no smith, and vice versa. he knew this subconsciously when he made the modal for morpheus. frankly if you watch the movie, this guy is really nothing like morpheus, and admits it, and everyone knows it. it’s not a slap in the face, it’s a logical progression of morpheus’ death and neo’s resurrection. the new morpheus is just a program designed to help neo escape, and doesn’t have a large bearing on the movie after that.",

They purged programs that didn’t agree with them. That’s even specifically mentioned regarding the guy Neo met in the train station in the original trilogy.

"I saw it this weekend and it is meh, but I did enjoy the following things:\n\n* Lana does a great job of evoking the feelings of somebody who is confused about reality. More than any of the other Matrix movies, this one really helps you empathize with having to make a choice to take the red pill when you're somebody who is already thought to be crazy.\n* Jessica Henwick, who plays in the new kid on the block was quite fun to watch. She was a nice balance of capable, morally steadfast, but also quite reasonable and likable. Sadly by act 3 she's just mostly there for some nonsensical plot point.\n\nTo be honest I'm not even really that big of a fan of the 2nd or 3rd movie but I find them as incredibly interesting vehicles for interesting thought experiments and questions: How does one interacts with the system when they realize their own agency? What responsibilities do we choose to have within the system in comparison to absolute freedom? How much of our choices are \"free will\" or are we forever burdened by causality? How does one deal with the realization of the interconnectedness of causality?\n\nA lot of fun things to explore, but non are ever really fleshed out and only talked about.\n\nThis movie does a slightly better job of telling a story that is more engrained with some of these ideas such as: How do our wants and desires mire us to a system? Are those truly our wants and desires or are they manufactured by the system? How do relationships to other agents within the system change our view of the system? \n\nBut once again they fail provoking more than a \"oh that's interesting\".\n\nI've been kind of withholding myself from most of the action stuff that's been slowly coming out during the pandemic, as nothing has been really that refreshing or interesting enough. This honestly just feels very run of the mill for this era of action cinema. But it sparkles in small bits.",

"Yes, there are overlaps in themes about perception and reality with the first movie but second and third movie were explorations into the nature of humanity, destiny and purpose.

Ripped from the original and not expanded upon in any way. No discussion of choice, destiny, perception, reality or anything of that sort. It's a quest to free Trinity from the Matrix for no other reason than \"Matrix = bad\". Hardly philosophical and certainly nothing new.\n\nEither decide that this movie is a continuation of the themes and investigations of the original trilogy or decide that it's its own movie.

It's also very intentionally very different from the original matrix movies, and part of its message is very obviously the need to evolve. So yeah, it's action sucks, OK. But it's a smart critique and update to the themes and message of the original movies, while also being a touching revision to the ending of the trilogy where love wins over everything. \n\nA lot of the plot points and character decisions make sense on a thematic level, at least some in my view. It's refreshing to watch a big budget movie that actually has something to say in an interesting way. And fights scenes aside, the film making is quite good, too. Just saying, not everyone hates it, there are people who love it.",
"If they wanted to get all meta then they should have had Neo living the life of Keanu Reeves, coming off the set of John Wick. He could have been struggling with the sense that those Matrix movies he made all those years ago seemed more real than reality, and everything just seems to be going way too perfectly for him. Keanu could have had a chance to show just how much he's struggling with the fact that everyone loves him so much, and he just can't figure out why. He never thought he was that great of an actor. If we're going to get meta, let's get all the way meta. Leave the ending of Matrix 4 feeling like, in the narrative, is Keanu insane and hallucinating all this stuff? Or, within the narrative of the film, is he actually Thomas Anderson, Neo, still trapped in the Matrix, somehow able to shape reality into whatever he wills it to be? In his narrative, Trinity was always \"The One\". Neo, within the Matrix, can't shake his connection to Trinity, and places all his power within her, and she keeps coming to save him. This would have been far more interesting than just retconning Trinity into the prime position. This would have been more in line with the ideas of mind-fucking philosophy and questioning reality introduced in the first trilogy. The struggle could have been from the machines constantly cloning Neo and Trinity IRL and keeping them apart, because as soon as they find each other, they immediately break free of their fake reality and the machines have to kill the pair. Keep this plot secret from the main faction of machines, maybe within the Architect's dedicated construct, with the Oracle trying to piece out the psychology of the love-crossed pair. The main motivation for the machines should have been to understand how Neo was able to become so powerful, what exactly made him tick, and how was agent Smith able to download himself into a human? Let's see a Matrix finale where there's an infinite number of freshly disconnected humans from the Matrix, all with Agent Smith taking over their minds and flesh. Matrix 4 should have set up the future war between machine factions. The possible narrative branches they could have followed are all just so interesting, it's so sad and embarrassing that they made this pile of dog shit movie we have now...",

But then it just became a rehash of the trilogy with nothing new or interesting.\n\nI don't think she wanted to make a bad movie at all, but I think it carries on what we learned from Revolutions and to a lesser extent Reloaded; the original Matrix was lightening in a bottle, and its creators long ago ran out of creative energy for the series.",

Her Wikipedia character summary under Resurrections begins with:\n\n>*Despite her death in the Machine City \\[...\\]*\n\nAs for Neo... being in line with his character's obvious allegories to Jesus throughout the trilogy, he sacrificed himself to save humanity. From a narrative standpoint, he realized he was the polar opposite to Smith who continued to grow stronger just as Neo did. Sacrificing himself was the only way to truly kill Smith and in doing so fulfilled his end of the deal with Deus Ex Machina, in turn saving Zion. This is all very explicit in the movies and is the unambiguous resolution of his character arc.\n\n***Are you sure you've seen the movies?***\n\nNeo's death and the finality of the story is also why the creators did not want a fourth movie to be made. This is referenced with all the subtlety of a nuclear bomb at the beginning of the movie. Lana only agreed because WB would have gone forward without her.\n\nLastly, what they explain in the Matrix Online is that Morpheus sends out to redpills that before his \"assassination\" he will soon \"fade away\" and \"hide\". His character being alive is a very popular theory, given that the writers heavily hinted this was the case. His death is inarguably more ambiguous than Neo's or Trinity's. Even still, the movie makes no reference to the game and the plot summary lists him as dying of old age, not from the Assassin in the MMO.",

I loved the original, and the sequels were fun but not as good but still forgiveable.\n\nThis movie was complete garbage and a bigger cash grab than the star wars prequels. None of the characters that were new were ever developed, not like you even cared about them anyways as they were just a plot to bring back neo. The writing is like it was done by a 12 year old, pathetic and flat. They focused on trying to be \"trendy\" even zooming in on fist bumps... Yeah.\n\nThey made appearances of old characters just for the member berries. Neo is an old shell and they pretty much did to his character what they did to Luke Skywalker in the new star wars, trying to make him irrelevant even though he was the main character that everyone had grown to love. They didn't even bother setting it up to have a new lovable character either. It was just weird.\n\nIt was just a terrible movie and had NOTHING you liked about the previous films, including not really having any good fight scenes at all really.\n\nI will go on in life pretending this movie never happened, and I hope the producing company does too and never tries to rehash the series again after this terrible fail and flop.",
"What about the cringey parts of trying to be \"trendy\"? Like zooming in on fist bumps and other weird shit. It was like an old person thinking they know what is \"cool\" and wanted to keep using things and shoving them in there thinking it's more hip. Like making the original series a video game, and then zooming in on the Razer mouse and keyboard he was using lmao.\n\nOr how about instead of creating new original characters, just creating empty shells of the previous characters we loved without any logic or reason for the characters motivations other than being young and rebellious?\n\nJust so much wrong with this movie it's unreal.

And even the \"grounding\" and demotions she gives to Bugs and her crew doesn't matter because suddenly Sati shows up and we're going ahead with the mission that Bugs and Neo wanted to do in the first place. that entire sequence exists solely to eat up run time.

The entire Nebuchadnezzar crew was memorable because they were given different personalities and at least some time to shine in the movie. It actually felt like a crew. In the new movie, other than Neo, the only other memorable crewmembers were Jessica Henwick and \"Morpheus\". And even they barely had personalities.

"Pfft...fantasy. If this were reality, he would have tried to get her to sell him any good LPs as well. That shit would be up for sale on Discogs within minutes.",
"This is based on a pretty old story. Originally, the estranged wife sold her husband's Porsche for $50. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-50-porsche/\n\nThis scene is taken directly from the book, which is an excellent read.",
"Kinky Wizards!",
"Beverly is one fine, fine aged wine",
"Isn't that the whole point of the scene? *You* would do that, but his character had enough integrity and so much respect for fellow collectors that he would rather take the hit than be the one to screw over someone that shares his passion.",
"I know this is a comedy so it wasn't going to happen, but I really wanted it to play out the same way as Depp's similar scene in The Ninth Gate. It just had that same feel at the beginning.",
"I groan so much at this scene - not because I don't like it, I just want him to take the W and not worry too much about it.",
"I’ll just pop in here with my two cents worth. I love records and I respect other collectors, I even rejected an offer to buy a record at show a two weekends ago because I knew the guy was making a loss on it and I also knew he would be able to get a much better price. \n\nHowever, in this situation, if some dude is off rooting his daughters 19 year old friend and has the arrogance to I ask his wife to sell his singles collection for some more spending money, I would not hesitate to buy those records off of his wife. He’s obviously not short of a few quid.",
"this happened to me twice. first time was the girl up the street from me was having a \"garage sale\" of all her bfs stuff cause she found a hidden phone in the top of the toilet that had messages to like 10 different women. she sold me his ps3 (which was the rare backwards compatable one) and about 50 games for $5 \n\n2nd time a rich guy with a suitcase came into my old work and randomly said do you know anyone that would want a dozen pairs of LV heels? I said my gf might, but I don't think I could afford one pair let alone 12. he opens up the case and I'm blown away...like, I knew before I even took them out the box that I can't afford this shit. he was like, I will take whatever you have in your wallet. I thought he was joking or being clearly rich maybe he didn't understand that most people don't roll around with bands in their pockets. so I said \"dude, i have like $25 in my wallet\" and he says \"$20 good\". he took the $20 and I'm like \"ok, are these stolen?\" and he is like na, I caught my soon to be ex on a sugar daddy website so fuck her! I paid for the shit so far as I'm concerned I can do what I want with them. \n\nlooked the shit up when I got home. literally the cheapest pair was worth $900AUD and three of them were worth over $3000. like that's more then what the car I was driving at the time and only like 4 of them had been worn. most of them came with all the paperwork too\n\nEDIT: my bad, they were jimmy choos not LV's.",
"You can make amazing bargains from angry wives lol Moral: Don't piss off your wife or she'll sell your best shit for baubles!",
"I'd buy it and sell it back to the guy for a couple grand. Enough to teach him a lesson and not undermine his wife. Payment for getting sucked into their drama.",
"As a collector myself, I’d pay a fair price for the 45s then ask her out to dinner because Beverly D'Angelo is hotter than Georgia asphalt!",
"Yeah I thought this scene was going somewhere different by how she was acting.",
"I actually know the guy who loaned these records for the movie production. He has a stupendous collection, and is one of the biggest record dealers in the world.",
"You should check out the documentary \"Vinyl\". It really delves into the minds of music collectors, the filmmaker being one himself. There's an interview with a particularly cantankerous old dude that had this very thing (I don't think he was cheating though) happen to him, and he is VERY raw.",
"😂 agreed.",
"I know the guy you are talking about from the movie. I felt bad for him, considering he had been collecting country records since 1942, and he probably had some of the best country records in terms of value, since he was collecting all of the old 78s and a deleted scene shows a story where he was getting pure mint condition 78s. Then they were just all gone due to his wife, probably thrown out. His 50+ year passion was gone because the wife wanted to spite him.",
"I would've bought it and kept em all. If I'd paid thousands, I'd want to recoup some money so I could buy more...",
"I genuinely enjoyed the book. Picked it up after reading About a Boy, which was also great.",
"Key is also that he's selling the singles collection. She's just maliciously complying. I'd get the integrity a bit more if she was just trashing his treasure as a means of revenge, but he's already shown that he's willing to part with his treasure for the sake of his adultery. She was 99% in the right before, and she's 100% in the right now, imo.",
"I think this bit was intended to highlight that while Rob is not a great guy, he isnt morally bankrupt. \n\nBut John Cusack does such a good job of selling that, the movie doesnt really need the scene.",
"Did you sell em or give ‘em away? How much did ya make",
"Neither, but his calves look absolutely amazing.",
"I want him to take the vinyl and hold on to them for the poor collector when he gets back.",
"Nah, F that guy, he deserves it.",
"That's the point of the scene, that he doesn't want to rip her off.",
"Kathleen Turner Overdrive",
"Unscrupulous.",
"I get that, but just like watching a horror movie and you're screaming to yourself \"don't go in there!\", even though you know the point of the scene is that they do, in fact, go in there (that's why you're watching the movie, after all), I just want him to take the records and run.",
"Which seems overkill when everything shown is just a label and is “talked” about not displayed",
"what are you doing step-record-collector's-wife?",
"Phase 1: print a bunch of God Saves The Queen labels\n\nPhase 2: put on Adele records \n\nPhase 3: profit",
"I can practically hear the Ninth Gate theme now.\n\nEdit: Just re-cut the scene with Corso's Theme from the Ninth Gate soundtrack. [Plays pretty well!] (https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/660945823)",
"These scenes are in the Hulu version of high fidelity which is really good if you haven’t seen it",
"He should have sweetened the deal by promising to rip them all onto a USB thumb drive included in the price.",
"It's not overkill when you're a movie producer and want to see a cool collection lol.",
"This scene would have fit in shortly after the scene where is sister comes into the store and calls him a \"fucking asshole\" and storms out. \n\nRob Gordon (John Cusack) is on the phone with the lady selling the records.",
"I love this movie, but this has NOT been my experience. And I'm including myself. Most people are in it for fun and their budget doesn't really allow them to have the collection they want, so when you see a deal? You'll usually trample someone to get it. And then you have the professionals who gobble all the good stuff up and set their own price, which they can do because rare is rare, there are only a certain amount of certains records left and they aren't making more. This is a record collectors wet dream and old Rob here just woke up before the angels finished him off, so sad.",

"I hate John Cusack, but I'll watch this and One Crazy Summer any time they're on.",
"I mean I just posted a link to the pics of the ones I have left on my Twitter, but I draw the line at pics of my amazing calves...you want that shit you will have to sub to my onlyfans ;)",
"That's a... really strange response in this context.",
"I don't care that much, as you say, it's a fictional character, so I have no reason to read it any other way than face value (and there's plenty of context clues that undermine your hypotheticals, but, being fictional, who cares?).\n\nEvidently you *do* have a reason to invest more emotion and read way more into it. I won't speculate why that might be, but you've certainly read more \"care\" in my response than *I* invested in it.\n\nEither way, I still find it strange that you think I'm \"white knighting\" a fictional character for some performative benefit that I can't begin to fathom what it might be. I'm pretty comfortable with my interpretation of the fictional events, if we consider her an unreliable narrator, why must we stop at assuming she's somehow abusive but that he still trusted her to sell his records and send him money? Maybe she's a conwoman and it's not even her house or her husband? Maybe her husband died and she's having a psychotic break, her mind is making up stories for where he's gone because she can't cope with his death?\n\nThe most interesting thing here is you and why you feel the need to insert yourself in the narrative of the story. It's literally a decades old joke they made into a scene in the movie. I'm with you, if I were really in that situation, I'd wonder what was going on behind the scenes, but this isn't the kind of scene or movie that requires that kind of depth in analysis. If that's how you want to approach it anyway, more power to ya, but I'm not. What I see is what I get.\n\n✌️"

The sound was both non existent and like being in a well insulated room but at the same time I heard this strange sound waaaay off in the distance and I thought maybe it was people talking but it had more of a chirping sound to it. Come to find out later on down the road that black holes make a chirping sounds when their gravitational waves are picked up by our instruments.

Some local engineers built a 20 ft tall trebuchet and asked if they could use the farm to test it and demonstrate to our customers how it worked. They loaded a 10 lb pumpkin in the thing and launched it 600 feet without breaking a sweat.\n\nLater on in the day they decided to do one more demonstration to really see how far they could send a pumpkin into a river adjacent to the farm. They loaded the pumpkin, prepped the trebuchet and misfired. The pumpkin shot out *BEHIND* the trebuchet and absolutely annihilated a port-a-potty 150 feet away. By some miracle no one was inside and no one was hurt. These things can be crazy dangerous",

"a) Someone else commented that this is a 3/8 steel ball bearing, so its mass is roughly 3.7g (58gr.) A typical 9mm (9x19mm) projectile is anywhere between 7.5g (115gr.) to 8.0g (124gr.) in weight.\n\nb) The kinetic energy of a typical 9mm round and this ball bearing is pretty darn similar (less than 10% difference). Wearing safety gear wont do much unless we're talking about a full on ballistic helmet and a bulletproof vest. That said... I do absolutely agree with you. This is absolutely something that is insanely dangerous. Guns can be aimed, they are predictable, and have a number of built in safeties. This has none of that.",

"*spooky music*",
"I think metaverse could be pretty useful in the future once the technology makes it more user friendly and useful. Potential is definitely there but we are just not there yet. \n\nThink about videogames and how Atari's offering wasn't so great in 1980. 40 years later, videogames have transformed society and their public and impact keeps growing. \n\nHowever, facebook is not the right player to make that happen. Considering their privacy and censorship history, I can't really find one good reason to make them the metaverse reference. FB abused their power any chance they had. Imagine if they have full control over your virtual life is a terrible idea. No thanks.",
"If the Metaverse was a thing, it should be a utility like the internet (or how the internet should be), not something owned by one corporation. That would be extremely dangerous",
"Why so much fear mongering over this? We already have a sort of metaverse with VR and what facebook seems to be doing is basically their own take on it. Like I get FB is often shady but most likely their \"metaverse\" is going to be much of what we already have.",
"Wrong. Meta is the name of the company and you fucked up. Should probably delete this post.",

You're not gonna put on a VR headset when you're hungry and wanna order something to eat.\n\nThere's no practical use for this in any platform. This is purely an entertainment product, and it will fail because it's entirely novel and has long term appeal only to a very small segment of the population.",
"I agree, this whole thing is just a gimmick. Their commodity is targeted advertising and that's not going to change, this is just an attempt to stay relevant while Facebook is declining in popularity with younger generations (just like their attempt to become a relevant game streaming platform) while other apps are growing - not because anyone gives a shit about privacy, because these apps offer new things people actually like doing, have less \"old people\" on them and still just sell your data to advertisers.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nThis whole thing will either just be a big flop and probably Facebook's last dying breath as it goes the way of MySpace, LiveJournal, AOL, etc., or actually kinda fun and people will keep using it alongside newer apps like TikTok, WhatsApp, Zalo, etc.\n\nThese things pretty much have to be cyclical. When Facebook came out, it wasn't really any better than MySpace, but everyone's parents and uncles had added them on MySpace by then, and timely smartphone development set the stage for an explosion of social media and Facebook was just there at the right time and right place.",
"Keep in mind that we're very early in VR development. You have to imagine the VR of the future being *much* smaller form factor and easier to use. Once VR means throwing on a pair of regular-sized glasses, things like TVs and PC monitors will start to seem silly.

"Wah wah wah. Just don't use it.\n\nOr do, I don't care.",
"Just curious, have you tried a modern VR headset? Something in the last few years?",
"Most people don't get motion sickness, especially if you're not physically moving. And AR allows you to see your surroundings.\n\nAnyways, I would liken it more to the invention of the cellphone than 3D movies -- it's a fundamentally different medium. We're at the stage where you're carrying around a brick, and you'd be the person saying it looks inconvenient and cumbersome to use.",
"But what would redditors jack each other off to if no one posted stories about how evil Facebook is?",
"I see no reason why the VR of the future isn't going to replace work you'd currently do on your PC. Again, why limit yourself to the real-estate of a screen when you can make use of your entire surroundings?\n\nI am very surprised you are a VR developer, given your pessimistic views about its potential uses in the future.",
"If that's how you see it more power to you. \n\nBut I heard your argument regarding NFTs, 3D TV's or the Theranos miracle blood testing machine. More often than not the hype ain't justified.\n\nIt's just VRChat. The glasses will certainly become lighter, the interface will get better, it will probably include some brain interface at some point... But at the end of the day you're still strapping a blindfold to your face for hours on end.",
"Seriously... I'm all for hating on Facebook and pushing for stronger regulations on social media platforms, but this is fucking ridiculous.\n\nFossil fuel companies, the plastic industry, nestle, Walmart, pharmaceutical companies - there are so many more corporations and industries that have harmed this world for fucking decades and gotten away with it.\n\nEdit: fuck I didn't even mention private military contractors or arms manufacturers like Lockheed or Haliburton...",

"I love that facebook is spending money trying to make holographic basketball work. Meanwhile I can't send a gif on messenger without the app breaking, access the page of my local cafe, and every time I try to use video chat on facebook it ends with someone saying, \"let's just do zoom.\" But hey holographic basketball with my friends in other states is JUST around the corner says the CEO who bizarrely tip-toes everywhere because he's spent too much time bonking into things with a virtual reality helmet on his head.",
"It is bold. My jaw was actually on the floor when I saw the FB Connect keynote. I was honestly shocked and baffled that one of the largest companies on earth was so *sharply* pivoting into such a vague scifi vision of the future.\n\nLike sure they've had some success with Oculus and Quest 2, but it's a small business relative to their social media empire. To go from social media ad giant to this niche, nerdy 'Metaverse' alternate reality... as an established mega-corporation, is just mind-blowing to me.\n\nI don't think enough has been written about just how unique, weird, and baffling it is.",
"> I see no reason why the VR of the future isn't going to replace work you'd currently do on your PC.\n\nI do. Wearing VR for long periods is uncomfortable and the resolution is terrible for any kind of productive work. These aren't things that will just get a magical solution that fixes everything besides something like google glass, but way better -- where the display isn't just adding light, but can actually replace color.",
"They're basically putting all of their money into it because they think the money can make it happen. I mean, they're moving units, but at a loss. They're buying a huge share of the market and get to own it for now, but how are they going to actually extract profit from these consumers? The metaverse will not be it. The novelty will wear off when people realize the tech doesn't deliver on the dreams they had.",
"I'm a bit concerned with people thinking that 'the metaverse' is a Facebook product. The metaverse is a concept, not a single product. The metaverse refers to a persistent online virtual environment. An example of a metaverse in the present would easily be VRChat. Companies like Epic Games, Roblox, and Niantic have metaverse applications and games but they haven't rolled out AR/VR versions of them. \n\nThat being said, I know the confusion is intentional by Facebook. But this is going to be problematic when other companies are trying to use the term metaverse and people will automatically think they're working with Facebook. \n\nOn the other hand, maybe it's just unavoidable because Facebook has invested so much into the Quest and has spent so much time working on it. So if you were to build for a metaverse platform, it might as well be Facebook.\n\nI really hope a competitor rises up.",
"Not sure how curious you are, but the big change that separates the modern attempts and older ones is the ability to legitimately own the digital assets within the game. I dont know if zucks \"metaverse\" will be working towards this goal as well but the reason people are so excited is because the value of the networks are being separated (at least partially) from the people hosting the network and being given to the people using the network.",
"He takes some of his ideas a bit too far, but overall he's not wrong. Big tech is trying to control us slowly via algorithms. Depends how you define control I guess, but algorithms that can predict your behavior sure seems like control.",
"> Not sure how curious you are, but the big change that separates the modern attempts and older ones is the ability to legitimately own the digital assets within the game.\n\nThis has been a thing before. Nothing's different. \"Legitimately owned\" is still technically on lease by whoever is giving you access to the platform, since it's not an open platform. Same as owning property in Star Wars: Galaxies, for example, or ships in EVE Online.",
"That's exactly it - to make it the core of their brand so early is crazy. They are really going all-in on a two pair. It's a decent hand - kind-of sort-of an evolution of social media. But the 'metaverse' is *actual* science fiction. An argument could be made the internet is already the 'metaverse'. \n\nUltimately what Facebook has through Oculus, as the foundation of Meta, is a cool headset that, by the time it is worth using enough to be mainstream, will be mimicked by every other tech giant already in the space; and an app/constellation of apps for a subset of Facebook users. \n\nOnly with probably less engagement potential for content and ads because what do you really gain, as Facebook, when Betty and Janice sit in a virtual castle and talk for two hours versus scrolling their Facebook feeds?",
"b2b business model. They're selling this as a face to face remote work platform and trying to get people to actually use it first",
"If you seriously think \"screen resolution\" is going to be a limitation of future VR, given where we are already at, and the rate of progress in the technology, I don't know if there's much more to discuss.",
"The \"Metaverse\" is nothing more than a distraction to clean up the PR cesspool that Facebook is currently stuck in right now. It's intentionally awkward, cringey and dystopian. They want you to talk about it so that you don't talk about the real problems.",
"Totally agree",
"> There's no practical use for this in any platform. This is purely an entertainment product, and it will fail because it's entirely novel and has long term appeal only to a very small segment of the population.\n\nExactly what they said about the internet when it still sucked ass. I'm sure this new technology will be different though.",
"This is a theory I could get behind",
"Not sure how much more of an open platform you can get than a completely decentralized blockchain. Keep in mind we are talking about the colloquial metaverse and not the recently trademarked 'Metaverse' Zuckerberg is working on.\n\nEdit:Just realized your original comment was specifically referencing FBs version, so that was actually my misunderstanding. \n\nYes I agree. If they are trying to be the ones in control everything, I dont see them getting much farther than the others.",
"The platform where you experience the content, not the platform that keeps track of the ownership. Ultimately that's what matters.",
"Bullshit. They knew the practical applications of internet well in advance. Online shopping and instant communication was always the dream.\n\nAdding a VR layer does not facilitate faster, smoother, or more convenient communication. For new tech to catch on it has to be better in function and value, not just appearance.",
"> given where we are already at, and the rate of progress in the technology, I don't know if there's much more to discuss.\n\nThe gulf is wider than the leap from SD to Full HD. Also, resolution was just a part of the things I mentioned. Focus on that and ignore the rest, sure.",
"> or like social media\n\nYour 160k comment karma disagrees.",
"It won't.\n\nWhat they are marketing it as is a new information utility like the internet was in the 90s.\n\nWhat they are actually developing is just more of already existing types of media content delivered over the internet.",
"But that is what second life had and it still hit a roadblock. There must have been something missing. Maybe it was being able to own things, maybe it was more than that; but digital life still didnt feel real. I'm sure an integrated digital life will require a lot of real life parallels to feel real. And I dont know what all of those are, but ownership is 100% part of that. \n\nGranted, I am still pretty hesitant investing anything into a digital universe. But I can definitely see the appeal if it is done correctly.",
"> But that is what second life had and it still hit a roadblock. There must have been something missing. Maybe it was being able to own things\n\nMy point is that you don't own shit if you can still only access it via a singular provider. A single gatekeeper. This still happens here.\n\n> Granted, I am still pretty hesitant investing anything into a digital universe. But I can definitely see the appeal if it is done correctly.\n\nI've never seen what \"correctly\" means in this context.

"There is a phrase in the VR world called getting your \"VR legs\", like sea legs, because it universally makes people motion sick until they get used to it.",
"Probably because I was told by the media that suggesting that porn has an impact on society was \"antisemitic\" or something",
"Second life didn't fail. It still has 50k daily users and generates baseline about $100 million a year",
"The mall in the 90's required a 100k booth that restricted movement, a headset connected to physical pulleys that measured the position of the helmet, and delivered horrible graphics. If you're still using a setup like that then I'm surprised you were able to upload the text in this comment without losing your dial up connection.",
"Single gatekeeper, but anyone can make a new gate. The idea is to shift part of the value capture from the company to the users. Social networks are only as valuable as the people that use them. So once people realize that their usage gives them leverage, we might see companies do more to make their products more beneficial to the people using them.",
"Lol just don't use it.",
"Yeah I completely agree. He makes such a big point about free speech and towards the end brings up how China is pushing away from tech and doing all these great things. If free will is so important to you then why are you also promoting mandatory less time on electronics? It seems hypocritical",
"You get motion sickness because you're old and not used to it. My mom got dizzy watching me play Tony Hawk Pro Skater 20 years ago. The technology that wins in the long term is the one embraced by future generations. Kids are growing up going to school on Zoom and from the looks of it that is never going to completely disappear. Its silly to think that the next step in that doesn't likely involve VR and/or AR technology.",
"I've seen this sentiment a lot in this thread and it really makes me feel old. Like, the people on here really don't know what the internet used to be, do they? Go on any Oculus app when you get the chance, you'll find nothing but kids. Future generations are going to embrace VR well before the value becomes apparent to current adults.",

"Reddit and YouTube users: \"Metaverse bad!\" (Angry internet noises)\n\nBillions of Facebook users worldwide: \"you guys hear something? Must be the wind!\"",
"Of all the takes this one is the dumbest. Digital assets have been a thing since the internet was invented. They are a byproduct of IP laws. The point of the metaverse isn't the stated lofty expectation of making it a \"real\" place, the point is to be the premier VR remote work platform, refine the technology with recreational users, and eventually sell extremely expensive face to face remote working software to businesses.",
"i think they are hoping that the foundation tech will be available to others who will be able to make use of it in ways that a single group of engineers don't have time to think of.\n\nso they are passing the development tools to *everyone* and then they will wait for a genius to figure out a valuable application. then they will buy the application and act like they invented the wheel.",
"... shit... when you put it that way... You dang kids get off my lawn!",
"It just depends on the scale of the project. I have >90% belief that if something like axie infinity closed up shop tomorrow and said the entire thing was a calculated money grab that the community would come up with something to use the axies for. It might be a shell of what it was but the fact that it can be done is huge. \n\nAnd if that project was a gamified version of zoom that was widespread in professional sectors you can bet your ass that the community would survive a sudden vacuum of a host. Once you're big enough, gates can be bought.",
"If you really believe that you're extremely naïve. Everybody thinks they \"knew\" after the thing happens because it's very easy to retrospectively look back at the factors pointing to the success of a product after it succeeds.\n\nThe mainstream belief was exactly what you said, nobody will want to shop online, nobody will trust online banking, nobody will want to carry around a cell phone all the time, nobody will embrace any new technology. Most products fail, but technologies don't disappear. VR has persisted for decades, it's finally starting to see real mainstream investment and products appearing at consumer price points. If it was going to fail, it would have failed when it cost 100k to put a VR pod in an arcade 20 years ago. Not after the development of a wireless $300 headset capable of hand tracking.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X84muuaySVQ\n\nThat is a video of a man paying $30 an hour in today's money to dial a phone to connect to a computer that will download a plain text file of a newspaper with no images over the next two hours.

"Theres not really a firm definition of metaverse so we are really just debating our own interpretations, even if mine is the dumbest. \n\nMy opinion of it is that it is a reference to our shared reality. As technology has allowed our existence to branch out into more and more abstract things, the need for a network to connect those nonphysical things to our physical world became more and more desirable. To me the metaverse is the integration of a global society into a personal life. \n\nBut maybe I'm wrong and it's just a dope VR work from home app.",

"> Just a few years and decades ago, we would never have accepted this excuse that silencing, firing and canceling people for their opinions was fine, as long as it wasn't the government doing so.\n\nYes, we would have, and we did, and still are, and always will. It's an evolutionary trait innate to human nature.\n\nAnd China using technology to assign all its citizens social credit scores that it uses to restrict their freedoms is very bad, but the Chinese government imposing limits on the amount of screen time for toddlers and internet access for citizens and setting up \"economical wedding zones\" is very good?

The January 6th insurrectionists were not all stupid and poor but they were all inherently angry because Trump lost.

At CPAC 2020 they didn't even list any policy goals for Trump's second term. Pretty much all they are interested in doing is political grandstanding, gutting public services so they can farm them out to private corporations that they hold stock in, packing the courts and passing more unsustainable tax cuts to enrich themselves and bankrupt the country.\n\nAnd while I'm not happy with the Biden administration for not delivering on their promises, a lot of that has to do with Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema refusing to vote along party lines because they are fucking corrupt. At the end of the day though, it's still better than the clusterfuck that was the Trump presidency where we would have some dumbass scandal every day.\n\nMy speculation that Republicans are going to take back control of the government is based more on the effectiveness of the conservative media propaganda machine and misinformation campaigns rather than Biden's performance. Even if Biden was a perfect president, conservatives would still rally to the polls over bullshit cultural non-issues like Critical Race Theory, the tyranny of COVID-19 mandates and 'Socialism' because Fucker Carlson rants every night about how military vaccine mandates are making us weaker because real men won't get vaccinated (yes, he really said that) or some other insane shit.",

But thats a shitty reason imo. Thats basically just making fun of someone for being neurodivergent, not for any specific thing.",
"Not really.\n\nYou do realize that VR/AR by their nature are simulation platforms, right? You could take the absolute best workstation in the world and simulate that directly in VR/AR, and then improve upon it as a physical workstation has limitations that a virtual workstation does not.\n\nTherefore it can only ever be better if the tech advances enough to make it feasible.",
"Or Facebook is bad because its algorithm is designed specifically to make people upset because that drives engagement. Research has shown time and time again that Facebook and other social media is bad for your mental health. Facebook's own internal research shows that it's particularly bad for the mental health of teenage girls. And let's not forget the time they got caught doing experiments specifically to make their users sad.\n\nThat's not to mention all the times it got caught specifically spreading conspiracies and lies about the election and Trump, because Zuckerburg met with Trump multiple times.\n\nBut yeah, sure, people hate it because it's big. Let's go with that.",
"To be fair, it's a complex solution to a complex problem the company has faced. The company is constantly facing backlash from the dog and pony show we call our government as well as the public users. Users expect privacy because that's how it operates in reality, laws dictate privacy and demand it.\n\nHowever, in a fake reality or virtual reality the laws are made by the creator. Just think about this, if the conspiracy people are right and one day a new world order is created the old laws of the united states and other governments would be nullified by the new government who now has control. It's no different with this, except instead of replacing a government he is replacing the \"reality\" in which people live and experience. In doing so he would be replacing the government and laws we abide by in this new \"reality.\" Especially if the economies within this new reality are thriving more than our current reality.",
"There wasn't enough use, not enough availability, not enough quality. Those are easy things to list years later. There were also important network effects - you needed enough people to use it, so enough developers make apps and app store can distribute them. \"Devices didn't perform well and were expensive\" is what I would say about the first iphone. Their usefulness was very much in question. Again, there weren't many apps, mobile websites didn't work well.\n\nI'm not saying meta will succeed, I'm not cheering for them, I'm just giving you reasons why they could. They have network effects, apps that can be made for everyone to use.\n\nEVE couldn't do the same. They have a game and can take some small percentage of people playing it to interact in different way with each other. Who will then create new features for this tiny niche?\n\nMeta has grandmas that may want to interact with their grandkids living far away. They have insta chicks posting softcore porn for thousands of thirsty followers and advertisers happy with it. They have businesses like wedding venues and women using the platforms for boasting about their engagements and planning weddings, messaging businesses and their guests through the platform, setting up events on fb.\n\n\"I'm on this 3d chat and you can join me\" is hard to sell. Meta might change it to \"We're both talking here already and I created avatar recently when messing around with my mom, and also we can talk in VR version of my store that I got created anyway for my business page.\"",

It cannot check every statement on any liked or bought post. In my time girls magazines were bad. Now Instagram is. Next will be whatever they start reading next. Once big ass was bad, now it's good. Trends with body qualities always changed. People always were insecure. I think it's standard to test out features on specific or target area and then measure the results and decide whatever it's worth implementing or not?

No politician wants to force people to wear masks or get vaccinated, but the minority of relatively good ones are prepared to take the political hit in order to protect public safety, yet somehow people who want to deal with big problems by pretending they don't exist suddenly arc up and claim this is politicians being controlling (even though the same people stayed silent with all the genuinely sinister opaque anti-terrorism and cyber-surveillance laws were being introduced).",
"I wasn't even talking specifically about politicians - there has been an enormous shift of wealth during covid, moving even more money away from the poor to the wealthy. And pharmaceutical companies are making so much money now they won't even know what to do with it all, and considering the records of the main vaccine manufacturers, I don't see how you can believe they won't do anything to keep the profit flowing, they are absolutely not above exerting political or financial influence to get what they want. Does it honestly not concern you that Pfizer have tried to hide the safety findings of their vaccines? \n\nI don't agree that not taking a covid vaccine makes you a public health risk, and clearly that's where we differ. We don't cut people out of society for not taking any other vaccine, and those are the ones that have typically been around for many years, so potential long term side effects are more likely to be known.\n\nPeople should be allowed to choose for themselves - and yes I appreciate you can still 'choose' the vaccine or not, but if you're being threatened with being cut off from society, is this still really a choice?"

The fact that Earth's atmosphere contains free oxygen is an unmistakable signature of life \n\n...and that signal has been available for anyone to see it for almost 3 billion years!\n\nYou're probably imagining that Earth only became noticeable when we started broadcasting radio waves - meaning, you probably think SETI will find a civilization that doesn't have any clue we exist yet. You're wrong.\n\nAny civilization out there has surveyed every star around them for 1000s of light years, and they have found every exoplanet, and they've determined the contents of their atmospheres.

"What has changed? The digital realm has changed quite a lot in terms of using an interface to record directly into your DAW (which I acknowledge in my comment). But even back in 2006 you could plug your guitar into a Line 6 POD XT and go direct into your camera or a Tascam and get an MP3 audio file to attach to the video. If he was slightly more tech savvy he could take that output directly to a USB interface and go into Pro Tools, Garageband or Acid Pro or another DAW (which was not as widely available option as it is today but still definitely available and doable to regular consumers in 2006).\n\nThat's not really so spectacularly different from what's available today. The big difference (that I already acknowledged) is today you can plug directly into your computer and use an entirely digital audio rig without having to spend thousands of dollars. Hell Garageband offers this for free now. But **again**, even digital guitar rigs existed back in 2006, they were just really pricey, difficult, and didn't sound as good as the stuff from today.\n\nVideo on the other hand, I can't think of a widely available consumer digital camera that could take high quality videos that don't look potato quality in 2006.",

"It hasn't changed **a ton**. All technology changes, but the comment said they were surprised how good the audio sounds compared to the video, and I think that's because consumer audio tech really peaked and hit diminishing marginal returns a lot earlier.\n\nI mean, just as proof I'm looking at all my audio equipment right now. My U[SB interface is from 2007](https://www.musicradar.com/reviews/tech/tapco-link-usb-24-bit-usb-22386) and I still use it, paid $149 for it. My amplifier is from 2005, a Fender Blues Jr. All my audio cables have not changed, my guitar is from 2007, etc. etc. The only thing that I've changed over the years is my DAW and plug-ins. So things *have* changed but what I'm replying to and trying to say is that even in 2006, a regular consumer could record their guitar and get tone/audio quality that sounds fantastic 15 years later. Whereas, my cell phone for recording videos of my playing I took in 2006 vs. today is a **colossal difference.** One looks like a potato and the other looks pretty damn good.\n\nHere are some comparisons for you:\n\n1. [Video I recorded in 2010 using equipment I bought in 2007](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BmEFUikIus)\n2. [Video I recorded in 2021 using equipment I bought in 2007](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q4C8keKPAs)\n\nMy playing sucks in 2010, but the equipment is almost the same (except the guitar). I use the same interface, the same mic, the same cables. All that changed is my playing and tone sculpting improved and my DAW :-). I'd say there's a starker difference in video quality than audio quality IMO - again, if you can get past the fact I recorded in mono and sucked at guitar in 2010.",
"Your screen resolution is (maybe) higher, also the default view frame on YouTube is much bigger these days - if you resized the window to something more akin to 2006 YouTube it'd look better.\n\nBut yeah, 240P video looked shitty. I think maybe the current YouTube player also might do some sort of filtering - things don't just seem pixelated but also blurred.",
"Kinda - I mean it was 2006, 1600x1200 resolution 19-21\" CRT's were pretty normal amongst the geekery around then and even the average consumer LCD was a 1024x768 resolution at least.",
"It was also referenced at the beginning of everyones favorite original Youtube meme music video by Weezer.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQHPYelqr0E",
"Thank you. Weirdly, I was thinking of this video and the post video today and wondering who actually wrote the guitar version.",
"Google video had a star system too?",
"There's another video for this that's at 90-ish million views (blocked by Youtube for many years until recently, hence why it's at 90-ish for like ten years if you take a look at it on Wayback Machine).",

"Ah ok. I stand corrected, thanks!",
"https://reddit.com/r/videos/comments/rr2svy/_/hqftzzn/?context=1",
"Research checks out.",
"Okay let me try to clarify OP's meaning, he's not saying that there haven't been some fairly fairly significant changes, and maybe he misspoke a bit when he said \"I don't think audio recording tech has significantly changed a ton since then\"\n\nRemember, this whole discussion started in response to someone saying \"wow, this sounds great for 2006 audio\", and /u/CleanAxe was pointing out that it was already pretty easy to get a high quality digital recording of your guitar input.\n\nThat's really the important part that OP was getting at: there have been some advances in technology, but back in 2006 you could already get high quality guitar recordings pretty easily, so in that sense not much has changed. The end results that you will get from recording a guitar into a computer today are about the same results you would have gotten 15 years ago.\n\nAnd that becomes pretty remarkable when you contrast it with how much advancement there's been in home video recording. It was simply not possible to record as good quality home video (with a webcam or digital camera) as you can record now. But it was possible to record the same quality guitar output that you could record in 2006. So that's one of the reasons OP is saying that there weren't significant changes to audio recording: home video recording has moved forward by leaps and bounds, but home audio recording has stayed very similar in terms of what level of quality you can get, because you could already get high quality recordings even in the early 2000's.",
"OP's video and this one get a watch at least every year for me.\n\nBusking in Chester. This was before Lindsey Stirling blew up and before most people even knew electric violins even existed.\nhttps://youtu.be/vUO6kYLb6As\n\nIt must be weird to have your home videos you put to a random song you heard in the streets become this damn popular.",
"Man, I loved that video. It made Pachelbel's canon so damn interesting to me; something just clicked watching his rendition.",
"wow",
"It's not your imagination. On top of the resolution being extremely low, Youtube downgrades the quality of older videos now.",
"It still rocks sooooo much.",
"That sounds right yes",
"That's one of the dumbest comments I've seen in a while",
"It's a different guitar player though, so not about versions.\n\nThe funtwo original is also online and doing fine, this would be the one OP should have (and maybe wanted to have) posted:\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF6cnLnEARo\n\nWe're good. Funtwo even credits JC as the arranger.",
"One exception. Rock music didn't age well at all on the mixing aspect. They still rock but should be played on large high-efficiency speakers. Most get butchered on my equipment which isn't that expensive.",
"> The end results that you will get from recording a guitar into a computer today are about the same results you would have gotten 15 years ago.\n\nhard disagree again. \n\nloving the downvotes though. this is fun.",
"We're not talking about audiophile quality \"using $3000 headphones so you can listen intently for small details\", the bottom line is whether you can get a clear, direct recording. If you're arguing that something can't be considered high quality just because it isn't lossless, that is a foolish position to take.\n\nWhen I said \"The end results that you will get from recording a guitar into a computer today are about the same results you would have gotten 15 years ago\", that is completely accurate and I stand by it. If you 'hard disagree' then please explain how lossless audio is so much different from a decent quality MP3. Most people can't even tell the difference when comparing them."

Perhaps this dude is the only one doing this in the west, but Japan has a concept of [living national treasures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_National_Treasure_%28Japan%29) which they award to people doing crafts like these. Basically they get funded to keep doing their craft and keep it alive. While there are limited number of these government funded positions, point is that Japan cares about preserving traditional crafts, as they should.\n\n[Here's](https://www.youtube.com/c/aoyamasquare/videos) a great YT channel which uploads short videos showing some of these skills. There are others which host far longer videos, but you'll find them in recommended videos.\n\nAs for tapioca glue thing, it should vary. These hand-crafted things are usually passed down the line knowledge. Glue might be specific to the region, used in combination with specific water, etc. I watched video about cloth dyeing which used locally iron rich mud and then rinsed with tea and some other herbs to produce specific tint of black. Not even close to standard way or even easiest way of producing color, but that's what they do and consider high quality."

"Yeah, now ads aren't the only reason for that. The US actually produces a good bit of oil domestically, plus there's the subsidies for it.\n\nBut most gas stations could not survive selling only gas here. The average profit margin on gas sales is only [2.5%](https://www.reference.com/business-finance/average-profit-margin-gas-station-gallon-gasoline-c213b7da9c487ce5). So they make about 8.5 cents per gallon.\n\nSelling gas and only gas, they would need to sell 88 gallons per hour just to cover a single gas station attendants wages. To say nothing about other expenses like property taxes, electricity, water, etc. And this is *before* they even make profit.\n\nMost gas stations in the US make their money on the convenience store items inside. Cigarettes, beer, candy, soda, lottery tickets, and now, those pump ads.",
"One of the gas stations near me has the annoying TV, but no actual ads for it. So it just plays the default sound clip over and over and I hate it.\n\n[I found this post of another pump doing it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/8yfg5h/with_paymedia_you_have_the_power_of_fuel_success/)",
"Chip is more common now, most Americans don't have a PIN on their credit card. That's a debit card thing. We also have those NFC (Near Field Communication) readers in more and more areas. the \"Tap to pay\".\n\nBut even with those they sometimes still ask for a Zip code. I don't mind, it's just one more layer of security to prevent fraud. It also can help keep their payment card processor fees down. By requiring a PIN the chance of fraud goes down, so their payment card processor charges a lower fee because of the lower risk.",

"The US implemented the far less secure chip-and-signature system, not chip-and-PIN for credit cards. We only use chip-and-PIN on debit cards. If you use a PIN on an actual credit card (with the exception of a handful of a VERY rare specialty credit cards that only a few banks offer), the transaction gets processed as a cash advance and not a credit transaction, with way higher fees and interest rates.\n\nAlso, gas station pumps were exempted/extended from the deadline for implementing chip readers, so the zip code thing was a security compromise.\n\nThe banking system in the US is decades behind the rest of the world.",

Encoded in the card is a national identifier, it can recognize it as a non-US card and then won't prompt for a zip code.\n\nFor example the [first 6 digits are the IIN](https://www.cardrates.com/advice/7-things-you-didnt-know-about-credit-card-numbers/) or \"Issuer, Identification Number) and are the same for all cards issued by that authority.",
"Other than commercials that play in the breaks, ads in shows are usually product placement. That is, the scene may just be two people drinking coffee, but what you don't see is that they're holding Starbucks coffee cups with the logo facing out.

"Makes sense (that's the same thing that usually forces the multi-language prompts too IIRC).",
"Well paying for fuel before pumping, you input a hold on your card then pump, it will either charge you the max hold amount if you reach it or the amount you stopped pumping at. If you use cash, you'd hand the teller $40, they'd set the pump to $40 max, then you return in to get your change if you don't use the full $40. I live in Ottawa but find a lot of places in the Southern Ontario require payment before pumping. \n\nI'd also recommend getting a credit card for use in foreign countries.",
"Works for me as well",

"Also, after pumping: would you like a receipt?",
"Yep, payment card processors don't charge the same fee to all places. Riskier industries and businesses tend to have higher processor fees to account for the risk of fraud. \n\nSquare being one of the largest payment processors charges the following (ish)\n\n* Visa\n * 1.43-2.4%\n* Mastercard\n * 1.55-2.6%\n* AmEx\n * 2.5-3.5%\n* Discover\n * 1.56-2.3%\n\nAnd part of that is what the card issuer charges the payment processor. AmEx tends to charge the highest fees, but is also extremely customer-centric. Great for card holders, but it's why some places just refuse to accept AmEx.\n\nNow the more security controls in place, the lower the processing fee. Some places don't even allow \"swipe\" anymore, has to be chip or RFID tap.\n\nSo square may charge you 2.4% on a visa, but if you require a zip code on your transactions, they drop it to 1.9%. Half a percent isn't much, but on say $10M over the course of a year, that turns into $50,000. And when the average profit margin on a gallon of gas is only 2.5%, that .5% is 20% of the profit margin.\n\nIt's not about you, it's about keeping their fees lower.",

How am I supposed to know how much gas it will take to fill up ??\n\nLike other commenters have mentioned, you're only charged for the amount you fill up. The reason why the ask is that the authorization might stay on your card for a few days and eat up your available balance. This isn't really an issue for a credit card where your credit limit is $3000 or something, but if you're paying by debit and you have a low balance that could be a death sentence (eg. the pump authorizes you for $200, but your account balance is $250, now you only have $50 available in your bank account until the authorization drops off).",

Whereas chip and sign had the liability for fraudulent charges fall to the *merchant*. \n\nSo if someone steals your chip and sign card, you report the card stolen and you are not liable for the charges.

"When i worked at a gas station, basically 90% of our work reviews, and the main thing you could/would get in trouble over was the store card \"Scan rate\". Everybody got bonuses on meeting scan rate percentages, especially management and general manager (huge bonuses for them mind you, general manager was making 4k per month in bonus). It was somthing like 80% scan rate to get bonuses and since those bonuses ended up being like 50% of the GMs pay, they were taken really seriously (for us at the lowest level it was 10% bonus of what we made for the month). You probably spent around 20 hours total going to classes to learn how to push these store cards and other quotas (selling the \"sponsored\" candy at the counter we had to sell 20+ per day of EACH employee) \n\nStory time: I ended up getting fired over using tatics i was taught in the classes and told i committed fraud. My tatic was \"Hey do you have a store card?\" if they said no i would scan one immediatly and just stick it in their bag or slide it to them if no bag, took 0.5 seconds to do. Now if their reaction was to give it back, i would save it for the next person to say no. Well i did this, and since the card had already accrued points from that guy buying a 2$ energy drink when i gave it to the next customer they claimed i was giving away real money since the points had a monetary value (you could use them to buy merchandise, or even visa prepaid cards along with a billion other things, they were actually super worth using as a free gimmick) and fired me on the spot after working there for 3+ years and quite literally risking my life for them (i was robbed at gunpoint just like a month prior). I wasn't a bad employee, but nobody worked for \"years\" there at the bottom level, the whole store is a revolving door and they dont want to pay people above base entry price if they dont have to. I have a lot more to say about how crappy the environment was there but that was my getting fired story.\n\nIf you want to help relieve the stress of gas station employees who are slaves to this system, use the store card, it just made things so much easier for us and you really were giving up a lot of potential rewards, they arent a scam but rather a psychological incentive to get gas exclusively from them.",

"Well, credit cards don't get passed through the banks in Canada, even if you got it from the bank. They go through the issuing credit card company and go through different strategies to decide how loose their requirements are.\n\nBut the same logic applies, and it could also depend on the gas station too I suppose.",
"Why would you even go to a shell? The one by me is like 3.39 after saving 55 cents with a membership.",
"Calling the bank would be something to do before traveling. You know, like planning?",
"I have cancelled and left many a time. Ill just go to the closest competitor.",
"The ads aren’t common in most states as far as I know.",
"You know what they say about assumptions, right?",
"Depends on the pump. Costco? Beep and pump. Others can be a choose-your-own-adventure novel.",
"I dont live in America. In Australia tho. All you do is fuel up. Walk in. say which one, or just point. and pay.",
"Second button from the top on the right side mutes the ads at Exxon/Mobil/Chevron.",
"Interesting.",
"Ah.",
"Ah, ok. thanks for explaining.",
"Yeah probably don't assume that your card should be used anywhere in the world without proper verification? Or don't assume your country does payment the same was as every other country?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf I were visiting Australia I'd take the time to prepare and not make assumptions, absolutely",
"You guys have to pump your own gas? Weird.\nI hand out my card within about 10 seconds of stopping, and a friendly person does that for me.",
"Now you are just being stupid. You know full well I meant the you were assuming that I had not prepared, discussed with bank etc. I had adequate cash and travel cards as well, so was never really in danger. It still does not change that the US credit system was relatively primitive in its security controls compared to the rest of the world. For example, I went to a supermarket in Fremont California and the teller had never seen anyone use the chip reader.",
"BTW, life pro tip. Usually the second button from the top on the right side will mute the ads or TV or whatever it plays. At least in TX it's worked on every pump I've tried it on.",
"The US government heavily subsidizes fuel.",
"You should have seen it in the Vine days.",
"In the end it was just a sales pitch perpetrated by ai. This will be learned later by our grandchildren in school, after the ai took over the world.",
"what about that 70's show?",
"You're forgetting many people don't carry their credit cards with them. So many times I've failed to purchase something online while on campus or at work because Chrome will autofill CC's but not save the CVV. With ApplePay I only daily carry one 2% back CC as a back up. I might want to use other cards for a certain purchase because they have specific rewards or benefits.",
"Nice upsell",
"she broke ya in less than 30 seconds...more effective than water boarding",
"I've covered a lot of ground in Canada and haven't seen live ads on screens in Canada yet. At the end of the day its not a big deal though.",
"I've had about 20 comments in my inbox talking about this button. I've been just head butting the screens every time. Where were you guys in 2019?",
"That gas station owes him a Mars bar for his inconvenience.",
"Oh I will be back. I love visiting the US. But when I am mildly annoyed by things like this, I just spit in their general direction and move on.",
"Whoa whoa whoa. I failed trigonometry.",

"Things they don't teach you in boot camp.",
"You enter the numbers from a Canadian postal code which should allow you to use your Canadian credit card. Then you slap the attendant in the face with a beaver tail to assert dominance.",
"Strong ads every two days are how the terrorists win.",
"I bring my shooting ear plugs when i buy my fuel.",
"I pressed the button and now my dog doesn't like me.",
"I don't know who that is but she can suck a lemon.",
"As a Canadian, I have decided to travel to the US via blimp from now on.",
"Bitching about fuel prices is the gravy that goes on our turkey every Christmas.",
"I'm Canadian and the pumps always ask for my zip code. There's a method to it, but it does ask.",
"Take your postal code, separate out the numbers, then add zeros.\n\nIf your postal code is: H2M 5T2\n\nYou would enter: 25200",
"As a fun: It boils down your brain to the extent where you just want eject yourself from this AI BOT trap and you just selected the random service 😁. This scenario showed that The Chatbot was just controlling the brain of that guy efficiently..😆",
"Can't blame you when basically everything in this country is monetized. Allow me to ask, if I were to make the opposite road trip, is there any locations you suggest I make a visit to in Canada? Have not had the chance to visit much before",
"> Zip Code (if you use a credit card\n\nWait.. You can use credit cards at your fuel pumps? IS THIS THE FUTURE?!!",
"Many do down here, especially chains and big ones, but smaller mom and pop places often just have you sign.",
"I'm from northern Europe and ignoring the few very American specific things like sports teams and the such, it's very relatable to me too. Much more than the more mainstream American comedy, this is more subtle, dry and deadpan.\n\nMakes sense, really, the region was heavily influenced by migration from around these parts.",
"Must be different in Canada, sorry bout that",
"reaching too far, dumb skit",
"Gas pump sounding like feminists gaslighting men.",
"Fuck off with that voice. Literally any other TTS would be better.",
"Yeah well, no other gas station comes close except for the odd trucker stop.",
"Its a big country. You can drive for hours and hours without seeing anything. Where would you be entering?",
"\"Do you want a car wash?\"\n\nNO! This gas station doesn't even have a car wash. Why the fuck are you asking me this? Has anyone ever said yes to this? I came to a GAS station to buy GAS!",
"Maybe it doesn't matter then, because I always used the numbers from the zip and end with 00.\n\nM9N 7J6 would then be 97600.",

"This is a great example of why we are all having a mental breakdown. The only positive things in this video were people celebrating retribution. Can we spend some time looking back on the good that came out of last year? \n\nHow about the insane success of the ocean cleanup project: https://theoceancleanup.com/\n\nPerhaps the most successful conservation program saving the Monarch population, with an increase of 50 times what it was last year. https://www.businessinsider.com/california-monarch-butterflies-make-promising-puzzling-rebound-2021-12\n\nEh... I was going to list off the best stuff from the year but I'm at a loss, sure the vaccines hit but that made for more controversy...\nThere was some pretty good media that came out, despite the lock down. \n\nI'm not going to lie, this whole trying to stay positive thing is fucking me up. Video games are redundant and playing online you are jumping into toxic waste. Even when you work up the courage to call a loved one, they are also depressed and the conversations are forced and vapid. I would delete what I wrote but I've spent two hours trying to list off good news articles and it would just add to my list of meaningless tasks I didn't complete.

"Not really. Bad people can make great art (and do it all the time.) and their personalities don’t debase the art. \n\nLet me prove it to you: when you hear a song that you like for the first time, do you reserve judgement on whether it was a good song until you do background research on the performers? \n\nDo you have to look in to the background of an artist before appreciating a painting? It doesn’t make sense.",
"Blanca, no es Azul.",
"If it doesn't for you, that's great, but for me it makes the art hypocritical, inauthentic, and meaningless. I don't consume art or media in a vacuum. If you're going to preach at people, you should at least be a halfway decent person and not doing the literal opposite of what you're preaching.",

"That’s bizarre. The music is still good. The message is still real, even if the artist isn’t strong enough to maintain that message in their personal life. \n\nOr, for instance, The Pianist is still a beautiful and powerful movie about Polanski’s experience in the Warsaw Ghetto, despite the fact that he’s a rapist. It’s an irrelevant personal anecdote to the film.",

"you fullavit!",
"what is this from?",
"I guess we’re calling “inability to articulate a consistent argument” just “going in circles” now. Just say “I’m not interested in having my preconceived notions challenged.”",
"But then value what you want about the *art.* the art itself is a separate thing from the artist. Refer to my Pianist example",
"We just have a difference in opinion. \n\nSometimes I can set the person aside but sometimes I just can’t. The artist themselves can certainly amplify or diminish how I feel about what they’ve made.",
"Both of your standpoints can be true at the same time. You both are being obtuse. You can simultaneously understand art is free of it's creator and have social/ethical constraints separating the two.",
"One argument is literally an ad-hominem. It doesn’t make rational sense.",
"Lol",
"And fortunately we don't simply live life by just reason alone. We utilize ethics and morality and substructures of formulized societal rules, governed by reason, which we can then apply to art and artists. Therefor, art can be affected by its creator. You can recognize charles manson made some dope ass songs AND state the music has been ruined by the creator. Fucking Duh.",
"What dope ass song did Charles Manson ever produce? He made trash, and even if he *had* made a good song, it wouldn’t be any less good because of anything he did. A song is a song, a painting is a painting, a movie is a movie.\n\nYou can’t undermine the argument in a movie or in a classroom by attacking the person making the argument. A good point made by a bad person is still a good point.",
"Lol the Beatles never played together again after they broke up.",
"Except art isn't an argument. You can't remove ethics from a piece of art. If I were to murder a bunch of kittens and use their brains to paint something, you couldn't sit there and tell me you can remove the art from the artist. Serial killers literally view their murders as works of art. You are stuck in logistical thinking and need to branch out and combine, as art is not stuck in deductive reasoning. \n\nObviously subjective, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PX82gJrENU",
"Remember when you were in The Beatles? That was awesome.",
"Apples are the oranges of the world.",
">\tExcept art isn’t an argument. \n\nI’ll revise: *good* art is usually an argument for a certain perspective. So yeah, it totally is. The Pianiat is 100% an argument for a certain worldview, and that argument is not delegitimized by the director’s past. \n\n>\tIf I were to murder a bunch of kittens and use their brains to paint something, you couldn’t sit there and tell me you can remove the art from the artist.\n\nHow do you know what the paint is made of unless you go out of your way to find out? I’m talking about the moment you see or hear something, devoid of context. It either bangs or it doesn’t. \n\n>\tSerial killers literally view their murders as works of art.\n\nSo? The opinion of the artist is just as irrelevant as their context. Wonderful directors *constantly* go back and re-write their histories of involvement or intention of a project, even if it’s obviously a bald faced lie. You have to take art at face value.",
"Now *that's* New York!",
"Grab my camera through the fence",
"There's a well-known anecdote about Paul visiting John in New York at this time. Lorne Michaels had put a tongue-in-cheek offer to pay $5000 or something for a Beatles reunion live on SNL. Apparently they were on the verge of heading downtown to crash the show for an impromptu performance, guitars packed and everything, and decided they were too tired at the last minute.\n\nA Beatles reunion in the 80s or 90s was a certainty IMO if John was alive.",
"It's not one or the other. It's both. I'm not arguing art can't be removed from the artist. I'm saying you remove it, understand it, then combine it with the creator at the end of analysis. You are stuck at the first part.",
"No it’s just that your argument sucks.",
"Why would you go out of your way to add unnecessary elements to a piece of art that have nothing to do with those things?",
"Sounds to me like you are looking for reasons to reject other people to make yourself feel better. Even the most evil person among us is not evil *all the time.* Every person has good in them, and for those people who struggle to find love in their hearts, their artistic expression may be one of the few ways that they can express what good there is inside them, even if that good is, sadly, fleeting. I am a person who has done good things and some bad things - more good than bad. But if I were someone who did more bad than good, even much, much more bad than good, that would in no way diminish the good in whatever good I had done.",
"Who said anyone here wants to argue with you?",
"Ok? No one has argued with you",
"It's hilarious that you don't see the irony in this comment.",
"I like that you're incorrectly labeling an ad-hominem argument while also making an ad-hominem argument.",
"Ironic? There is both nothing in my post indicating a rejection of you — and your response to my post is to insult me. There’s irony in your comment, but unlike you, I don’t find it funny - it’s sad. It’s too bad you feel so antagonistic all the time.",
">There’s irony in your comment, but unlike you, I don’t find it funny - it’s sad. It’s too bad you feel so antagonistic all the time.\n\nStill don't see it, huh?",
"To feel antagonistic all the time is not the same as being evil all time the time.",
"What? Haha",
"Hopefully one day you’ll come down from your high horse and join humanity with the rest of us.",
"Again, it's hilarious that you don't see the irony in this comment.",

If I said feminism is wrong because I think John Lennon is a hypocrite, that would be an ad hominem. I then went on to say hey we disagree on how we appreciate art, that's fine. You went on to say I'm wrong because I can't form an argument and I'm unable to change my preconceived notions. THAT'S making an ad hominem argument, haha.",

That was kinda rude, I’m sorry, but it wasn’t the foundation of my argument, it was an aside. \n\nAnyways, it is at least akin to an ad-hominem to discount the messages in John Lennon’s music because of his personal life. They’re separate things, unrelated to each other.",
">\tWhy would you go out of your way to remove ethics/morality from your experience?\n\nWhen did I say this? I said the opposite- I’m in favor of taking the message of a piece of art at face value. If it discusses or is related to ethics / morality then the art speaks for itself. I don’t need to go out of my way to ad-hominem the artist for their personal failures. \n\n>\tThe experience of the art does not stop at your first glance of a piece of art.

Okay, wish you told me that at the beginning, but fine. Still about a minute and a half. \n\nFinally I decide to take out the intro, because on a platform like tik tok/instagram the title is right there above the video anyway so having to waste 30 seconds introducing something you've already read is fucking redundant, *PLUS* now that one of the solutions was taken out the guy presenting to camera saying \"here are 5 ways to _\" didn't make sense because it was only 4.

"I am a senior engineer with 15+ years of experience spent primarily in UI/UX. It has been my experience that engineers that complain that customers don't know what they want, or that they want impossible things, are generally just bad at talking to customers. This is the entire reason Products departments exist.\n\nFunny enough, I actually used this exact video as a teaching tool with junior UI developers I've mentored over the years. The point I always make is that this skit, despite being humorous in nature, can also be used as an example of how communication mistakes on everyone's part can lead to confusion, wasted time, and crap products.\n\nFor example, from the get-go our beleaguered expert declares the task impossible, gets hung up on details and spends the rest of the time insisting on strict adherence to terminology. The very first word out of this mouth -- \"no\" at 0:45 -- is a wrong choice. \"What are you trying to accomplish with this?\" or simply \"tell me more\" are much better options that keep the mood light and don't sweat the suits.\n\nNevertheless, he recovers and does a pretty good job deconstructing the color requirement in order to demonstrate why it is not a reasonable ask. By approx 1:30, he explains his case in simple straightforward terms and actually gets the room to listen. And then he fucks it up completely by speaking again.\n\nWhen you've made a solid point and the room goes quiet, let the silence sit. It is now up to the customer to either withdraw, relax or explain the requirement and you should not move on until they've done so. There is a very good chance they actually want something sensible and just suck at getting their vision across. Help. them. Don't drag more complexity back in.\n\nFinally, by approx 1:55 he asks the crucial question: \"can you describe the end result for me?\" Few questions in our industry have cleared up more confusion than this one. And, of course, this is the exact moment where his stupid PM gets weak in the knees and tries to project confidence, killing the discussion. Don't let people do this. Take the floor back and ask your question again if you must, because five minutes spent rehashing the seemingly obvious assumptions in the present can save literally months of wasted work in the future.\n\nThis brings us to the next part, perpendicularity at 2:15. It should be painfully obvious to anyone who is not a socially awkward engineer that the customer really wants something simple. They are not asking you to break the laws of geometry, they are obviously just struggling to describe their vision in proper terms.\n\nA simple tic-tac-toe grid, for example, can very easily be described as \"4 perpendicular lines\" by a layperson. Yes, that's technically \"wrong\", but you're not paid to be \"right\", you are paid to give the customer what they want. If their way of describing a grid with 4 lines down and 3 across is \"7 perpendicular lines\", then what you should be doing is trying to figure out the actual arrangement they want, rather than arguing that the problem, worded precisely, is impossible and putting them on the defensive.\n\nOnce the fact that you're obviously talking about different things becomes this apparent, you can't just keep retreating into semantics. I mean, the customer straight up draws a fucking triangle for him! If that's not a great blinking red sign screaming \"FUCK TERMINOLOGY, START OVER FROM SCRATCH\" then I don't know what is.\n\nReally, this whole thing is a giant example of the [XY Problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem) and the bit where the \"design specialist\" asks for a line in the shape of a kitten just drives that point home. She doesn't actually want lines in the shape of a kitten; she wants her engagement metrics to go up and the whole kitten thing is likely the first idea that popped into her head. Keep hammering recursive \"why do you want this?\" questions until you get to what they \\*actually\\* want.\n\nTL;DR: customers are not loony morons, they just suck at explaining what they want. Learn how to help them instead of shutting them down, and you'll likely have a very successful career.\n\nP.S. Sales people can straight up burn in hell tho. Motherfuckers sell you a bridge, dump the work on engineering, collect the commission and fuck off to their next gig. Gah.",

Normally people eventually describe the idea behind their proposed solution, and I often end up saying that it's not worth spending the experts' time to address it like that when it can be solved by adjusting the process slightly. \n\nSometimes, though, people will insist on their very specific solution, so I will spend a few weeks gathering info on the complexity of the proposed solution, projected impact on maintenance and provide a very rough worst-case estimate on how long it would take to implement it. When I get questions like \"But we were told it was so simple. You're the expert, surely you can you implement it in a shorter time, can you?\", I come back with \"Well, *as an expert*, I have provided you with an analysis of the risks and complexity of this change. If you want to ignore my advice, why do you need me at all?\". This usually gets people startled and scratching their heads, but they actually start listening to you.",

"War Pigs is great but are you seriously saying it's better than ever other metal song ever created? Like Nemo by Nightwish, The Divine Conspiracy by Epica, Hellfire Thunderbolt by KK's Priest, The Trooper by Iron Maiden, Painkiller by Judas Priest or a ton of other songs i could list?",
"I can, but only because those songs have elements of war Pigs or other black Sabbath songs. I feel like black Sabbath are the blueprint for what metal became, that and that their work only got better as it's aged. But again that's just my opinion.",
"Horseshit. If Black Sabbath were the blueprint then many metal bands of the 70's would sound like them but most bands of the 70's were more like Judas Priest and Deep Purple. Whatever sound you think you hear in those bands isn't from Black Sabbath, the will be examples from before (Blue Cheer's Summertime Blues comes to mind) or they use the same make of guitar or drums.",
"> Like Nemo by Nightwish, The Divine Conspiracy by Epica, Hellfire Thunderbolt by KK's Priest,\n\nThe other songs you listed might be suited for that title, but these? Come on...",
"Metal had a spectrum that went from hard rock to heavy metal. Not everybody pushed the heavy side all the way as much as Sabbath. They were the most popular on the heavier side of metal.",
"Yes, these are better than War Pigs for a variety of reasons. I love Black Sabbath, i even saw their last ever gig in Birmingham, but they aren't the best babd ever, Nightwish have a ton of songs better than War Pigs i just chose Nemo at random, i could've easily chosen I Want My Tears Back or Whoever Brings The Night but i didn't have to choose their best, only something better than War Pigs. As for Hellfire Thunderbolt you've clearly not listened to it and for The Divine Conspiracy it's my favourite song from 2000-2010, it's just awesome.",
"My jimmies were a little rustled when I read Nightwish and Epica, but then you got to K.K.'s Priest and I knew you were trolling.",
"But they weren't that heavy and while they were, and still are, popular they weren't the blueprint for metal, if they were there would be loads of 70's bands that had their sound and not loads of bands that sound like Judas Priest.",
"I take it you've not listened to their album then? Because everyone i know who's listened to it is blown away by it's awesomeness, it's a superb album and Hellfire Thunderbolt is probably the best song on it l.",
"Nightwish isn’t heavy metal, though, it’s symphonic metal. It’s something else entirely.",
"Lmao. Nemo sounds like a generic goth metal song. I don't even know how you could arrive to thinking it is a stronger song than War Pigs. Not surprised that someone who would take a \"greatest song\" opinion so seriously would have such trash taste.",
"Bro being a blueprint doesn't mean successors are carbon copies. Hell, Venom pretty much started the black metal scene scene based on lyrical and aesthetic concepts alone.",
"Oh. You're one of those, look metal is shorthand for heavy metal, symphonic metal is symphonic heavy metal, it's the same thing. It's just like his rock it's shorthand for rock and roll and all genres with rock on the name are just subgenres of it. \n\nIf you don't think Nightwish are metal then try opening your ears, i only picked out Nemo as it was the first one that came to mind but if you want something heavier check out I Want My Tears Back.",
"Symphonic heavy metal is still a sub genre. Heavy metal exists as its own thing as well, distinct from its sub genres.",
"Awesome drumming - but I think the special touch was that he tagged each section of the video",
"😏😏 it's definitely the special touch",
"Guy posts awesome drum-cover of an epic metal song. \n\nElitist metal-dorks start fighting amongst themselves about why everyone else's taste suck",
"🤣🤣🤣",
"Because War Pigs is, by your definition, a generic doom song. I love it, i defend it when my mate complains they lazily rhyme \"masses\" with \"masses\".",
"No a blueprint is a blueprint, it's what others base themselves off, if a band is unlike another then it's not based off the blueprints laid down by another.",
"What? Heavy metal is the genre, everything else is a subgenre of it, each subgenre is not totally distinct from the genre otherwise it becomes another genre. \n\nMetal is however fairly unique in that it has more subgenres than other genres, i often discuss with friends about what subgenres should be spun off into another genre with a name like \"diamond\" or \"adamantium\". Having bands like Saxon or Twisted Sister being in the same genre as Anaal Nathrakh or Old Corpse Road is something that requires much contemplation. Obvious the similarities are there and more so between Twisted Sister and Old Corpse Road than there are between Twisted Sister and Stereophonics, but obviously it's something that sparks debate.",
"According to my definition of what? I wasn't arguing that every song from a genre is a generic song from said genre. You're just pulling ass arguments out of thin air. I was just pointing out how lifeless and non-interesting Nemo is. War Pigs is far from the typical doom song if you actually listen to doom.",
"\"Heavy Metal\" is sometimes used to just refer to all metal, but it also refers to a specific subgenre in common parlance within metal communities, that is the traditional or classic brand of metal.\n\nIf by \"Heavy Metal\" you mean \"Metal\" then yes, Nightwish is that.\n\nBut if you mean in terms of reference of Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath etc, then it isn't.",
"Music has evolved because artists copy other artists but add their own spin to it. Idk why you seem to be so fixated on the word \"blueprint\" when it's about the general idea of inspiration creating new music. Kurt from Nirvana was pretty clear how he stole the \"quiet, then loud, then quiet, then loud\" song structure from the Pixies and Nirvana's songs wouldn't be the same without that structure. Yet Nirvana songs really don't sound like Pixie songs. It would be ridiculous to not claim that the Pixies were a huge influence on Nirvana (or a blueprint in your words)",
"I just listened to all the songs you listed. War Pigs beats every one of them easily. I’m not even sure you are serious.",
"I was going to agree with you but then you came outy with all that symphonic bullshit and now I want to say War Pigs is the greatest metal song ever just to spite you.",
"I am not here to debate musical tastes but there's no way that symphonic metal is bullshit, it's got the big, bombastic sound of power metal with bigger and better vocals. It hits hard and with such power I can only assume your will is too weak to handle such glory. I mean I like a lot of metal, from Mayhem and Watain to Twisted Sister and Ratt and the sheer energy and emotion from the likes of Nightwish and Epica is just beautiful, it's like they are inside every one of my sensory organs. \nThe fact that you cannot appreciate this as far more engaging and musically proficient than War Pigs suggests your musical appreciation is seriously lacking. I like War Pigs, it's definitely one of Black Sabbath's best songs right up there with Heaven and Hell, Cornucopia, St. Vitus Dance and Fairies Wear Boots but it's not got the power, energy or emotion of something like \"I Want My Tears Back\" \"I Wish I had an Angel\" or \"Turn Loose the Mermaids\" and those are just Nightwish songs. \n\n\nIt's even more egregious that you'll put personal preference over what is stated fact that War Pigs is great but there are better songs out there, I could've listed Her Ghost in the Fog by Cradle of Filth or We Will Rise by Arch Enemy but I didn't, the first ones that came to mind were by Epica and Nightwish, followed by KK's Priest as i've been listening to their debut album a lot recently.",
"> it's got the big, bombastic sound of power metal with bigger and better vocals\n\npower metal is also bullshit, you have the musical taste of a 15 year old.",
"Lol, says the person who is just criticising every metal genre they disagree with. Dude it's metal, have some fun you moody bastard. \n\nI'm not the world's biggest power metal fan but you can't disagree that it's such a narrow genre that you can pretty much see any power metal band and have a great time. I mean look at Helloween, loads of great songs and fairly unique, Power Quest always put on a good show and Manowar are just superb.",

"Andrew nailing that dudes Philly accent was the most clutch thing I've ever seen in my life. Fuckin' nailed it.",
"Similar experience. The first time I saw something like that was after a shpongle show in lower manhattan. As everyone is leaving after the show, a white sprinter van screeches to a stop outside the venue and the sliding door flys open. It was like a fucking movie. A couple of dudes with a 4’ tall tank jump out, wearing ski masks, and dozens of people line up immediately. $5 each. The next 15 mins or so was just chaos. The high pitch of the tank filling up ballons, with 1/20 of them popping when they were filled too much. And dozens of people huffing, laughing their asses off and stumbling down the street. \n\nI’ve also been at psytrance warehouse parties in Brooklyn where they had a tank behind the bar, selling balloons all night. It’s mostly in the rave or jamband scenes.",
"From the interviews Andrew has done with other creators and outlets, the Channel 5 crew definitely have a lot of fun off-camera, no doubt in large part due to their fame.",

You can also obviously die from other things with it. Was talking to a coworker 10 years or so ago and he said he hasn't done it since his buddy did some alone and passed out taking a hit and suffocated (think he was taking hits from a plastic bag or something and passed out with it on his head) I mentioned my moms ex and apparently he was the guy the coworkers friend got his stuff from.

"Sounds like a mirror of the JRAD after show. I had no idea the 'whippet mafia' and had only recently learned about whippets as a substance in general so it was pretty shocking. \n\nI've moved to mostly raves these days but whippets are just the essence of jam in substance form to me hahah. I always joke that the whippet mafia shows up 3 hours too late since I would want them FOR the music so that warehouse party sounds great! How was Shpongle? I really came around on them after experimenting with DMT and can only imagine their live stuff would be wild! I saw Jade Cicada a few weeks ago at Kings Theatre and it was prob my favorite crowd of the year",

"The biggest difference is that Daily Show was always laughing AT their subjects - winking at their audiences, \"Hey, we're smarter than this fool.\" I don't think that's true with Andrew - I think he genuinely enjoys his subjects and feels like he's playing with them, not at them.",

"They’re great. I think that was when I saw them a couple nights before going to Camp Bisco, where they were also playing. Shpongle did a set, then Hallucinogen did a solo set, then Prometheus. \n\nI havnt seen them in a while, recently they took a more theatrical and dreamy kinda turn. I like their old stuff more. I think my favorite song by then is [Levitation Nation](https://youtu.be/mtG4cIvw9BI). This song is one of the songs that really turned me on to electronic music in about 2008. All of twisted records is fucking awesome though, check em out-\n\nPrometheus (Benji Vaughn) is some of the best psytrance I’ve ever heard. It’s hard as shit but also really easy to listen to. [One of my favorite Prometheus songs](https://youtu.be/ZuKVC9Dxq8E)\n\nYounger brother is really good. They are a side group consisting of Benji Vaughn and Simon Posford (one half of shpongle) [One of my favorite Younger Brother songs](https://youtu.be/9pCRGk3P57M)\n\nOtt is fucking sick. Kinda psychedelic dub music. [One of my favorite Ott songs](https://youtu.be/ptai6LVI3DA)\n\nA lesser known side group, The Zap!, is really interesting. The Zap! Is Benji Vaughn and Raja Ram (The other half of shpongle) [One of my favorite The Zap! songs](https://youtu.be/q7MYzsC2W38)\n\nIf you wanna go 90’s style psytrance/goa, [check out 1200 Mics](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9csgJkEG86s).

"Also Andrew specifically targets the weirdos and strung out people because it's more entertaining. I was at this show and actually bumped in to him on the lot.

"That's a sweet hat",
"Phish shows would really be great if it weren't for the fucking audience. \n\nThat said, I used to hang at Dead shows in the 80's and there was a much better class of hippy back then, at first. Friendly, laid back, they enjoyed hanging out with everyone, toss you a beer or some water if you were thirsty (we had some really hot and dry summers). Never shy about passing a joint to strangers. By the late 80's/early 90's the shows were more popular and all these other people started showing up, and they were for a lack of a better term, poser assholes. That's where commercialization got out of hand, it became more about hanging in the parking lot than going to the actual show, it literally became a football tailgate.\n\nThen Gerry dies, then next thing you know Phish is the new Dead. Now their music itself is phenomenal, but yes, it eventually morphs into one really long song with a really long jam (Think Moe, SCI, Umphrees McGee). But this is a show you go to to let loose and dance, actually experience the music. To most people that just means endless pharmaceuticals, which I don't necessarily disagree with, but the primary purpose should be the music, and secondary, altered states.\n\nSo I look at this and my first thought is, yeah, been to a lot of Phish shows, and they were great, if only you weren't surrounded by so many annoying people. And when did huffing nitrous become the drug of choice for concerts (or is that all they were allowed to show on Channel 5)? I mean, it lasts 30 seconds, and it does rapidly kill brain cells (and in excess will knock you unconscious), seriously, what happened to acid and shrooms?\n\nAnd forget vaccination requirements, we need to instill bathing requirements!\n\nMy rant about annoying Deadheads and Phishheads.",
"My wife's cousins go to 2 or 3 shows a year and have since the late 90s. We were at their house once for a family get together and they were all bummed they were missing a show that eas somewhat close by that all of their friends were at. Theoughout the party they were getting texts from their friends about the order of the setlist and they kept getting excited kr upset that certain songs were being played in ancertain order. It was wild. Like 4 grown adults were huddled around a phone discussing songs they had heard 100 times and the specific order they were being played in.",
"The scene has dropped off somewhat but in the 90s and early 2000s Phish had overtaken the Dead as the main drug and jam band scene people followed, with Widespread Panic following a close second in terms of fans base. Phish is my favorite band by far. Had many good times with their music. I've seen them I think like 15 times, my brother is well past 100 shows at this point.",
"I think they're fine, I really like that song of theirs. I might check it out later. :)",

"Phish did a festival a few years ago called Curveball. Due to some septic water issues in the town they were forced to cancel last minute. We had already arrived to the campground begged the news hit but we were allowed to stay until morning. The nitrous guys set up right next to us, so we’re sitting outside or camper surrounded by balloons. I was just grumbling about the scene and these fucking losers and so on and so forth.

I was gonna be like \"that albums not old\" but they've had 3 since and that one came out very shortly after I got into them over 17 years ago lol.\n\nI had the immense privilege of getting to go to the last 2 Shpongle LIVE! shows at Red Rocks in 2019, and it set a concert bar I'm not sure i'll ever top without it being some absolute legend shit. Tipper, CloZee and 2 nights of Shpongle with the live band (featuring Joe Russo and Tom hamilton of JRAD/Ghost Light + Many more). They had full on acrobats, an interpretive ballet performance, the highest quality stage lights and visuals you can imagine... There's some ripped copies of the live stream on youtube I HIGHLY suggest checking it out. They did some really cool remixing/jamming on the songs with lots of improv that's not on the albums. The Beija Flor (the first part of Nothing Lasts, that features Levitation nation) with the horn and string section was something else.",
"I know he is, he still sounds like it though",
"Phish played in my city this tour for the first time in their career. We've had other big jam acts here at the venue and others nearby. NEVER have I EVER seen nitrous in our scene except for the random tank or two someone has in their car for funsies. After their show the vans flew in, dropped off the guys literal inches from the concrete sidewalk that makes up the exit of the venue. Basically a few steps from being in the gate. They tapped tanks at a rate fast enough to be moving with the mob, leaving stragglers and almost empty hissing tanks in their wake. After 15-30 minutes of sheer chaos outside the venue the cops started to roll through. They had kept the lot mostly contained before the show only shutting down realy brazen stupid shit. After the show they started coming up to the customers holding the balloons as well as the dealers... because this was literally our police dept. first experience with anything like this. Nitrous Mafia has avoided our state for a long time but the last 3 events i've been to in my neck of the woods, they've been sending a few guys out to do business and we're not having it.",
"The cops let it happen for long enough for the crowd to disperse. If the crowd lingers too long they usually step in. I've seen it in almost every city i've seen a show in that also has a big jam scene with a nitrous game. They let it happen because catching the rando stragglers is still something to show for it, and anything more would be sending their officers into a literal mob to stop hundreds of people from doing it. It's safer to corral the crowd further and further away busting the people stupid enough not to move with it or pack it up. In NOLA they had tanks in the breezeway between smoothie king and the Superdome, like literally on private property. The cops had squad cars blocking the road from incoming traffic, and the first tanks were inches from them with officers standing near by watching. Nobody got touched until the bulk of the crowd had moved out into the streets surrounding the venue.",
"JRAD is def worth your time if you ar particularly into the jamming side of the Dead. I am a huge fan of the entire thing, from the songwriting/lyrics to the insane improv. JRAD is Joe Russo (the drummer that was in RatDog and Furthur as well as tons of other post Dead bands and one-off's with the OG member) as well as Tom Hamilton (who also has a strong history of playing with the OG's) Marco Benevento (an insane piano/key player) Scott Metzger and Dave Drewitz who are both tied to Joe and Tom deeply through past projects. They absolutely do some cool new things with dead music, playing songs in different arrangements and setlist placements, incorporating other songbooks that compliment their playing etc. Lots of jazzy touches.",

I think that’s deceptive and not very helpful to the world.”",
"The people doing nitrous are usually on acid, shrooms, mdma, the classics. It synergizes with them EXTREMELY well. If you only do a bit here and there it's pretty harmless and for most of us we can do it and leave, it's definitely a problem all the same becaus a lot of people get stupid with it, on it or about it. Working live events when peopel show up to sell it, our crews immediately have to start paying a lot more attention because it can turn fast. people get in fights, people hurt themselves, the dealers come prepared to take no shit and defend their stash. They harass people who want nothing to do with them there, by hiding out in their campsites to do quick fill ups and take back out on foot. It's not a good scene no matter how fun nitrous is. If it were just friends selling eachother balloons or chipping in on a tank it's a whole different vibe.",
"Oh the old nitrous dude was def a hot mess and the kind of person that brings the whole thing down. But also hilarious in a way I can't deny. The other dudes selling it were mostly the kind I don't mind. There's some seriously rude and \"serious\" people in that business and it gets REALLY shady when they show up. The dudes that let him film them and got him to try it, are the fun ones for the most part more carnival barker than gangbanger. The really serious dudes will straight take your money and not give you anything, they'll short you, they'll fight you if you push back. I'm sure the dudes in this video would defend themselves in most situations too but they're not aggressive about it which makes a HUGE difference in the scene around it.",
