Dude/Dudette, it was just a gag comment. Not only am I not really dismissing a massive body of work just because it uses quantization, as someone who’s spent more than half his life writing software synthesis applications, I’ve literally made a career out of quantization.

That being said, music that is not quantized definitely has a more natural feel to it, although putting that “feel” into sequencing software is surprisingly difficult.

Quarter-notes lol

I mean this is true but not about the '70s as the original post states. Even by the '60s they had sophisticated stereo audio mixers - they just cost hundreds of thousands of dollars instead of running on people’s phones like today.

You mean quantized, snapped-to-the-grid instrumental music? Sigh.

The Birdcage is definitely a romcom. Two for one, in fact!

I imagine he’s worn the fuck out ridiculing Melon Husk’s bullshit.

Bros kept trying to imply it was the first gay movie, or even first gay romcom, but it was the first gay romcom that was created and released by a major studio whose initial release was a “wide” release in more than one country.

Torch Song Trilogy (1988)? The Birdcage (1996)? I don’t know about “more than one country”, but they were major studio movies with wide releases.

I sure wan’t expecting this.

It would have been even more if the Pope could draw a straight line …

Lol at the Photos icon. How does that in any way represent a photo or a camera? I guess it’s an iris shutter but that’s not something you notice too often on a real-life camera.

Unless the enemy has a pointy stick.

Thank god they don’t live as long as fruitcake.

Your “username” is awesome.

She’s gonna grape you in the mouth!

Having worked for Comcast, I can also say they’d win gold in the “most coders jammed into a one-person office” competition.

Or Las Vegas crowds. It’s pretty wild how the Vegas lobby has completely suppressed the memory of the worst mass shooting in US history.

Don’t worry, they will figure out that without humans releasing gasses they have no purpose, so they will cull most of the human population but keep just enough to justify their existence to manage it.

Unfortunately this statement also applies to the 1%. And the “just enough” will get smaller and smaller as AI and automation replace humans.

6 cans of Coke (Sam’s cola ftw) a day

Damn, that is 960 calories a day of soda. If you’re an average-sized man, that represents 40% of your daily diet (around 2500 cal per day).

There’s something I don’t understand that maybe other unicycle riders can explain to me. I can ride a unicycle and I can even juggle while riding one, but I cannot go more than 200 feet or so before my thighs completely burn out and I fall over. How do people use these things as actual forms of transportation?

I made the mistake of giving Churu lickable cat treats to my cat. She used to come to me all the time for affection and scritches - now she just wants Churu and expresses her supreme dissatisfaction with my existence at every point in time when I am not giving her Churu.
