Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post, thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
I mean, full points for realising itās them
(my emphasis)
thatās your problem right there bud
As somebody who amateur DJāed (badly, very badly I must add, Iām not suddenly cool, more the reverse):
This is such a revealing thing. And the theorizing after it on why bars do this is even more revealing (he could have just asked). But yeah people donāt go to bars for interesting new music, they come for the socializing, which is a lot easier if everybody can dance along with the music, or just nod along with it if it is more a socializing place. Sometimes there also isnāt a plan but just āwe should get a DJā.
The whole list is a collection of āI have no empathy and I also never thought about asking people about these thingsā btw. I really hope this is a teenager.
@Soyweiser @gerikson Plus the sets of āpeople who can DJ competentlyā and āpeople who are convinced that they should be allowed to DJ in publicā do not, unfortunately, overlap completely.
Hey that one other metalhead at the bar really liked my dj style. Donāt be a hater ;).
Iād love to know what he thinks they should play.
music that is interesting, obvies! like, yāknow, maybe algoraves, or maybe things that use classical elements. unfortunately the idle masses would never go for such things, the goddamn proles!
</character>I guess he doesnāt realize that everyone has a different idea of what music is interesting, and the big nightclubs have to go for the lowest common denominator in order to keep up sales.
lmao i knew it was going to be a samuel barber remix before clicking that link, well done
I kept with the āthis has definitely seen mass consciousnessā options to really hammer down the point ;D
@gerikson @dgerard Drugs. Itās drugs.
I took psychic damage reading some of those replies (thatās 3 of them)
hopefully the OP there can find more places to find experience and feedback from than r/ssc, though
Whatās wrong with the weed advice? Seems reasonable enough to me.
The 2 page treatise on inequality which is primarily impotent faffing about from āfirst principlesā definitely hurt me though
the psychoactive effects are quite subjective (and no one-size fits all), so I find the stated-as-fact/certainty of tone there a bit of a waste
(it is also a very common enough thing in many communities of people that partake in psychoactives, but, yeah)
