Neither is the hospital

Alone in your basement?

Yes, he’s used to external storage in general and instead of switching to internal storage, he went from floppy to CD to USB sticks.

I knew a guy who saved everything on USB sticks because back in the day, internal storage was negligible

That’s a source for point 3 only. Do you have sources for the other points as well?

True, the bigger the phone, the heavier it is so carrying it is sport. The good news is that since screens are getting bigger, phones are growing so carrying it is sport again

But how do you test it when you are blindfolded as well? Or is the donkey blindfolded? I don’t understand

It’s the same problem with double blind tests. Writing protocol when blindfolded is hard

Who else is in the lower right corner? 🙋‍♂️

They are actually closer related to mammals than to any modern reptile

Did the bonobo play pretend or did the scientists play pretend with an imaginary bonobo?

I might be wrong but I feel that today’s mainstream music is quite generic. Of cause there are bubbles for everything and more than before due to the internet.

I don’t know where to draw the line tho. The top level comment says it’s the early 00’s (or rather quotes Mark Fisher who said that), maybe it’s later. Maybe kids these days don’t listen to what I think is mainstream. Maybe I’m just old and “this is generic and no art” is the new “this is noise and no music”, I donno.

In my defense, I was like 12 or something. I knew the song from my older brother and liked it. My English wasn’t good enough to understand it completely but it spoke to me on an emotional level.

So the shock wasn’t that I was a huge Limp Biskit fan. I can’t name another song and had to look up the spelling writing the comment. The shock was how much older the song was than, well, than me. It spoke to how I felt towards my parent generation but it was basically written by my parent generation.

I think the point isn’t that categories hardened in the sense that they stay distinct but that there are no more experiments, nothing subversive. Stealing and mixing things you know work, is exactly that. Your kid’s diss track will be totally generic with no original idea. That’s the whole point of the comment above, not that it’s exact covers.

To play the devil’s advocate here: “music used to be subversive but now it’s all the same, nothing original” sounds just like a grumpy old man yelling at a cloud. Old people will find reasons to hate new stuff.

This isn’t to disagree. I read Capitalist Realism and think the argument works. And personally, I remember how shocked I was to find out that Behind Blue Eyes wasn’t originally by Limp Bizkit but much older and that my mom listened to the punk rock band I liked as a teenager when she was young. My question might be if there ever was anything “new under the sun” but first and foremost, I like the idea as a devil’s advocate.

“Better known for other works” can be said about Einstein’s Nobel Prize as well
