Movie looked like total garbage based on the trailers.

Super weird, just bought a Nord Grand and this pops up in a feed that rarely posts music tech stuff

On first viewing it was awesome, then the reality set it after awhile

Ugh that scene TFA derailed it in microseconds. So much stupid hand waving by JJ. That movie started on such a high note, then every minute following the opening act was like watching a bouncy house slowly deflate.

I’m on 5mg ER and had minor side effects. Initially I couldn’t get a boner, but it also made me insanely horny almost in a deviant way. Masturbated like 4-5 a day in the first few weeks. That all went away thankfully. Some teeth grinding and dry skin stuff, that all seems to be getting better but those side effects lasted a lot longer, probably about a year or two. Haven’t upped my milligrams, still works three years later

Anyone remember OnLive?

I have perfect pitch meaning I can hear a note and be able to tell you witch note it is and at which octave

Then it should be even easier to unionize

Except for all the stupid MLP shit, I agree

Oof, going way back here. The first time I fell in love? It was insane. I was 16 and so was she. It was crazy stupid love. So much passion, but it was ugly too. My favorite part was losing my virginity to someone I cared for deeply and visa versa, second favorite part was finally getting over her years after the breakup. It was an awful one, embarrassing and cringe inducing in a lot of ways, but it also made me a better person. Wouldnt give all that happiness and pain up in a million years, and this is 25 years later.

Southwest is entirely fucked CMV

Open, to let my stupid cat out otherwise he cries.

(I love him)

Also the amount of work that it puts on IT, implementing new tech and not providing/approving the training (which only goes so far)

Addiction is defined by repeated behavior despite repeated consequences.

My little cousins stole my aunt’s credit card and spent $10k on digital goods. This wasn’t the first time this happened.

There are legitimate concerns about how these services are shaping the minds of children, constantly poking the reward center of their malleable brains and wiring them a specific way to open pathways to addictive behavior. YouTube channels promoting desperate consumerism by featuring kids opening endless “presents” for an hour as an example.

I will admit that as someone who is a bit more tech savvy than the average person this stuff is pretty alarming. I’m planning to become a parent soon and it seems like keeping their usage in check will be an endless game of whack a mole, and that screen/game/content addiction is now the default outcome because they’re all built to be so predatory and addictive by nature.

As someone who is contemplating becoming a parent soon, what’s a good solution to managing screen time? I’m an IT guy so managing their devices will be standardized, but ethically I’m a bit worried about going too far with it. I really want my kids to grow up being creative and a bit bored sometimes so they have to make their own fun, but I also want them to game a bit like when I was a kid. It’s going to take quite a bit of work to restrict access to certain services at certain times of day, plus I’m considering absolutely no social media until they’re in high school but I’m worried that it’ll make them rebel and get desperate

It’s really not as extreme as this guy implies. I guarantee you he has habits he’s not mentioning, it’s just that adhd have more of a tendency to forget them because we’ll get distracted by something else. I think about brushing my teeth, yes, but once I get started I day dream through it. I’m diagnosed ADHD and medicated.

Endless fun.

I got a nice hit:

Trauma

It’s 10:35 pm here in Chicago. Just had a lovely summer thunder shower. Cubs lost because they’re fucking losers. Had a nice bagel today. My cat is curled up in a ball next to me sucking on his tail (its just a thing he does)

I went to the UK for the first time back in Dec 2021, it was amazing but Big Ben was half covered up. Stayed in Shoreditch, had a great bagel there too (you know the place). Couldn’t believe the graffiti was everywhere but I guess it’s a thing. I felt like Sherlock Holmes or Jack the Ripper the whole time (didn’t act like it though).

I saw my first firefly yesterday and it was amazing.

How are you? Hope you get some sleep.

Chicagoan

I got to work on the set of Inception! It was super cool, hung around Ken Watanabe and flew Leo to set. His mom was in the trailer with him
