I absolutely adore puns but I cannot say emphatically enough how completely and utterly dreadful these are.

Ernie. posted:oh please don't be depressed about not going to space!! as someone (me) who wants to do scientific experimentation for space travel in the next ~10 years, keep in mind all the horrific things we'll have to endure. inter-generational expeditions, people never knowing anything but the inside of a space-ship, new diseases, learning the true depths of our inability to get anything right. all for the chance to escape. i always think of it like living in the 1400s and crossing the atlantic. not pleasant for anyone. and at the end of the day here we are and we ... speak, think and laugh in much the same way we always have and we haven't gained much, much from it. Thanks for this lovely post. I don't know what sorts if volunteer opportunities are available around here, but I live in a city so light pollution makes stargazing kind of impossible. I'm hoping to take a trip to Dark Sky Park up north this summer, tried to do it last year and it didn't work out. I don't play video games but I may need to make an exception for No Man's Sky. You talking about all the horrors that will come with space exploration is interesting. I think part of my fascination with space is that when I was I kid I read a lot of historical fiction and got obsessed with pioneers and explorers, and then I looked at maps and saw that pretty much everything has been found. As I grew older I stopped thinking that starting a bunch of new cities in wild places was a good idea for conservation reasons, and right around then I discovered science fiction and thinking about being a space pioneer, all struggles included, became a really solid way to sort of slip out of the mundanity of impoverished white people life. Someone really needs to just mod Oregon Trail 2 already. Just change the wagons to ships, add "freeze dried" in front of all the food items, switch up the random encounters from buffalo stampedes to asteroid belts. You have died of Space Dysentery.

EccoRaven posted:what's an album? who doesn't just buy one or two songs at a time? Yes, this is me. I've never been able to answer the album question, cause I can't think of a single full album I like. I like songs. I honestly have no affinity to any particular musician or band, which is probably why I never feel the need to go to concerts. I may like one song this person did, but that has nothing to do with liking any of their other stuff.

This is great for the fans because there's a near-unlimited catalog of music to listen to, and great for the bands because it keeps the fans coming back to their live shows. With the exception of Phish, I haven't listened to any of my favorite bands studio albums because I like their live stuff more and there's a huge abundance of it. Here are five studio albums where I know all the words, like all the songs, and have listened to them a few hundred times each: Phish - Junta Sublime - 40 oz to Freedom Less than Jake - Losing Streak Daft Punk - Discovery A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory Ernie. posted:ecco is basically a poor man's tremendous taste at this point This thread is a basically a poor man's PYF at this point

Asiina posted:No, it's a real opinion people have, not things 14 year olds say to be edgy. i didn't say that the opinion isn't real, more like the opinion is particularly charged the 'album format is dead' argument really holds up by what you consider 'success' is. if you define success as 'what's constantly shared on social media' or 'which resonates with artist popularity more the single or the album' then gently caress yeah it's dead. if you define it by literally any other metric it's still alive. super artists still hit sales records for albums, streaming services still see full albums played through at an unchanging constant rate, and vinyl is having a resurgence: one of the mediums that is least single-friendly. and even among the super popular artists who are contractually driven to re-affirm this bad culture of singles on the radio, few get their style through at an album length; for example florence and the machine and lady gaga and eminem and and and. also, i find it socially/economically careless when people regurgitate this argument, because it's a top-down approach to music, where the upper crust of society, those who could afford to buy into apple's ecosystem early on, dictated what's popular; as opposed to a bottom-up approach where people dissect albums at their own leisure and then vote to get what they're interested in on a radio station's playlist
