You're in the kitchen, walking alone by yourself, when all of a sudden you look down and see a peach. It's laying on it's back, fully ripened. You could eat the peach, but you're not doing it. Why aren't you eating the peach?

I think I've gotten to the point where I straight-up just don't like pop music, and I'm not saying this in a cool hipster douchebag humblebrag way like I might have when I was 19, I'm actually kind of annoyed by it

I tried looking into The Weeknd because Blinding Lights is a fun song, but the rest of that album and most-to-all of his other singles feel bland and forgettable and paint-by-numbers to me but he's supposed to be this crazy madcap avant-garde artist dude and he had an undead army of zombies dancing with him at the Super Bowl that one time. Am I listening to the wrong stuff or am I just old now or what gives

The I Hate My Husband webcomic making the Twitter rounds is an interesting case study to me. Having kids makes your life much more stressful instantly and irreversibly, because all of a sudden most of your free time doesn't actually belong to you, and this can lead to both partners in a marriage feeling overworked and underappreciated (because your spouse probably isn't super vocally appreciative of you if they are ALSO feeling overworked and underappreciated, which they absolutely are). This is a well-documented phenomenon. My wife and I read multiple books which touched on this subject as a way of surviving the newborn phase.

In this case, apparently the husband works two jobs, cooks all the meals, does all the dishes, and still does a decent amount of parenting, but the wife is also feeling an intense amount of stress, and the kids themselves are obviously not a valid target for her resentment, so the husband gets the full brunt, and she of course gets tons of reinforcement from her Instagram audience so she sees no reason to reign it in.

Also, I don't have numbers on this part or anything, but my impression is that women (particularly those of the professional caste) are generally socialized to research and prepare the hell out of everything, and men are socialized to improvise more -- you see this in schools, where the smart girls study all the time and make flash cards while the smart boys cram the night before the exam if they don't already feel confident they'll do fine. This is why Comic Husband does stuff like eat a peach without Thinking Of The Children or take the kids to a playground without six months' worth of field rations on his person and so on and so forth, and she once again doesn't have any valid target for her resentment over this other than the husband himself.

The only Take My Husband Please webcomic I saw reposted on Twitter that really screamed "red flag" to me was probably the one where she was patiently explaining to the husband that she is like a star basketball player carrying the team and he is a no-talent bench catch-and-shoot guy that needs to step it the gently caress up or they'll never make the postseason, using sports terms because his stupid male brain would never understand her magnificence if she didn't

The rest of it was standard stress-overreaction stuff that would get worked out in two weeks of couples counseling

It's partially because there's a ton of dead musicians who's catalog is either in the hands of their failsons or an investment group and they're constantly suing anyone that releasing music with even a passing resemblance to any song in their catalog. So to avoid litigation just don't release anything with a strong melody .

Like Radiohead's back catalog got sold to like XL holdings and then a few years later they sue Lana Del Rey for "ripping off" Creep (despite that song itself being a ripoff of The Hollies). Difference is the Hollies just sued for a writing credit, Radiohead sued for all the royalties for Del Rey's song

This is an awful take, a remake isn't a sample and if you look at the credits of that song Giorgio Morder is listed. There are thousands of samples in music over the past ~40 years, it's ok for Ice Cube to sample The Isley Brothers, both songs can exist.

much worse than sampling is the fact that it's increasingly difficult make a song without a courtroom full of people who have literally no music knowledge deciding that nobody can make a "do do do do do" sound anymore without paying royalties to the estate of poo poo Simmons

A large part of the programme established for the formation of a Soviet society was the building of communities to the extent that childcare would be socialized, and even cooking would be socialized. Ergo, it doesn't make sense to have a family of two to four people have to cook their own meals when you can Harness the Forces of Production and have, say, four cooks prepare meals for four times as many people in one go.

I bring this up because we tend to conceptualize women as having to provide "unpaid labor" in the household, as well as childcare and whatnot, but it's a sort of orthogonal approach to think of the solution as "and therefore the mom needs to be compensated for the work", rather than "the mom shouldn't be doing that particular work in the first place"

recipes for large groups used to be a really common way to cook food and a lot of people find when they dig deep into classic family recipes that the portion sizes are absurd for this exact reason because eating in large groups also used to be a lot more common

it super frustrating how the only time this ever comes up is in a feminist context is to say wow how awful it was that women had to do all this cooking because for fucks sake people have to eat the patriarchy didnt invent the concept of food

Without going too far off-topic, extremely felt mate. We have a 4 1/2 month old right now and while we're keeping it together without any nearby family, I can think of few things that would piss me off more than my wife telling people that I'm not doing enough, much less writing a web comic about it (and she would feel likewise, I'm sure). You live together and have hosed at least a couple of times, just talk to each other about how you feel!

To bring it back, most of our rare alone time involves the TV and my wife signed up for a free trial of Starz. Anything worth watching on there that I'd have trouble finding otherwise?

I loving love sampling but using basically the entire backing track and hook and chorus and then still calling it a different song and not a remake is stretching the definition of sampling/creativity to me. That's all I'm saying.
And especially when it comes to the perfection that is "I Feel Love" if you're gonna chop and screw it you should do something interesting with it which that track really doesn't so much.
