  • Trump receives ‘first ever Presidential Commemorative Inaugural Diet Coke bottle’ from Coca-Cola CEO

  • You know every time he does something, someone in the comments makes an idiocracy reference and we all roll our eyes because "Yeah, theres the low hanging fruit guy coming to farm votes" like its an original thought.

    Well... Its my turn.

    "This Inauguration brought to you by Diet coke. DIET COKE, IF YOU DONT DRINK IT FUCK YOU!"

  • Honestly, the only thing marketplace sucks for is cars.

    Ive only ever had luck selling cars on platforms that require you to pay to list. Marketplace just gets you an endless string of time wasters and people who want it for half the asking price.

  • CEO of Song-Generating AI App Says People "Don't Enjoy" Making Music With Instruments

    Jump

  • Honestly I kind of get his point.

    I fooled around with some basic beat making software back in the day and was having a lot of fun, so I stepped up to entry level producing software and HOLY SHIT there was a learning cliff I had to climb. It sucked all the fun out of it and I got bored really fast.

    People do still want to create and make music not learn how to use a piece of software.

    What are your thoughts on people who didn't vote?

    Jump

  • As an Australian I do have a bit of a problem with mandatory voting. Mostly because it forces the uninformed to go vote too, so we get the same breed of fearmongering and sensationalist headlines on the newspaper front pages that are all owned by the same billionaires and the same idiots on social security voting for the party that would abolish social security because Facebook told them the other party wanted to let muslims rape their girlfriend.

    But the voting on the weekend and the democracy sausage we definitely got right.

  • Your assesment of that era of rap is 100% spot on. That was a very braggadocious and flashy era leading up to the financial collapse in 08. Dj Khaled was music for nightclubs, it was "gangster rap" for the masses, it was radio play accessible without being edited to death... and it sold.

    I dont know the man but I think it was a lot like what happens to a lot of people in entertainment, you have to fake it till you make it. Nobody wants to hear songs about how you're going to climb to the middle. But eventually at some level of success you need to stop huffing your own farts and show some humility and I dont think he ever has.

  • You said it yourself he is very good at generating hype in an industry that survives on hype. He was a flashy obnoxious tool when everyone was wearing Ed Hardy jeans and 3 inch round Ecko watches studded with fake diamonds. He was Mr Miami when the south was blowing up rap wise. He was the right personality, in the right place, at the right time with the right skills and right connections and he hustled.

    I know I'm repeating myself saying "I think he is a tool" but that being said, I was really into rap and the scene during the era he had his come up and I know he didnt stumble into success.

  • I get especially annoyed when people act like because their great great grandparents on one side of their tree were Italian that they have some innate knowledge of pasta and sauce.

    Like even if nonna learned from her nonna and you learned from her, theres still a non zero chance that great great nonna was a SHIT COOK.

  • Dj Khaled is kind of the posterchild for egotistical dickhead, I will never dispute this. However, his skill is bringing talent together and he is pretty damn good at it. He's more like a movie producer/casting director than a music producer in how he does business. He hears a beat, thinks "Who would destroy on this?" Buys the beat, Makes some phone calls, gets some artists onboard to do a verse, pays the artists for their work, mixes the track or pays a producer who he thinks has skills to do it for him and releases it.

    He is the child of Palestinian immigrants and built himself his dream job and is worth an estimated 70 million, have a look at his wikipedia for the sheer number of awards he has been nominated for... Talentless hacks cant do that. Raging egomaniacs with annoying personalities sure can tho.

  • The truth these days is that damn near every car has reasons why you shouldnt buy it.

    The Germans are still fraudulently trading on their rep from the 80s, the French are always being different just for the fucking hell of it wether the customer likes it or not, the Italians love needing bespoke tools for simple jobs, everything British is now chinese or german, the Americans would be burned at the stake for suggesting the next model be smaller, Japans "reliability" rep is mostly being upheld by Toyota and Honda who charge accordingly, China is coming along in leaps and bounds but still cant figure out "supply chain logistics" for spare parts and Korea just keeps dropping the fucking ball over dumb simple shit.

    People ask me all the time "What do you think about CAR" and Ive honestly resorted to "If you like it, buy it. Ive known people with reliable Fiats and unreliable Toyotas. The only unhappy people are the ones who bought a car they didnt WANT."
