It does sound clickbait-y and I guess that's why there are butthurt people in the comments. I guess its meaning is "literally everyone is raising prices, while Tidal is lowering them". TBF I also had to read the title again because it's pretty strange to see prices decrease

I can't tell you if you should read William Gibson instead, but I can definitely tell you that you should read William Gibson

BNPL ("buy now, pay later") is definitely amongst the worst problems

Is it strange that I have absolutely NO idea what you're talking about?

[-] ominouslemon@lemm.ee 16 points 9 months ago

IDK, I just love the fact that this is basically implying that web3 is already dead

That saying has no attestation anywhere, apparently.

Love the idea, but you should really ask someone who actually speaks english to check the whole questionnaire. It's filled with spelling and grammatical errors.

I don't know what a "gravy seal" is, but I'm trying to picture it and I'm kinda laughing to myself

Dan Harmon once responded in a similar way on an AMA. It was about writer's block, but I feel it's the same principle.

My best advice about writer's block is: the reason you're having a hard time writing is because of a conflict between the GOAL of writing well and the FEAR of writing badly. By default, our instinct is to conquer the fear, but our feelings are much, much, less within our control than the goals we set, and since it's the conflict BETWEEN the two forces blocking you, if you simply change your goal from "writing well" to "writing badly," you will be a veritable fucking fountain of material, because guess what, man, we don't like to admit it, because we're raised to think lack of confidence is synonymous with paralysis, but, let's just be honest with ourselves and each other: we can only hope to be good writers. We can only ever hope and wish that will ever happen, that's a bird in the bush. The one in the hand is: we suck. We are terrified we suck, and that terror is oppressive and pervasive because we can VERY WELL see the possibility that we suck. We are well acquainted with it. We know how we suck like the backs of our shitty, untalented hands. We could write a fucking book on how bad a book would be if we just wrote one instead of sitting at a desk scratching our dumb heads trying to figure out how, by some miracle, the next thing we type is going to be brilliant. It isn't going to be brilliant. You stink. Prove it. It will go faster. And then, after you write something incredibly shitty in about six hours, it's no problem making it better in passes, because in addition to being absolutely untalented, you are also a mean, petty CRITIC. You know how you suck and you know how everything sucks and when you see something that sucks, you know exactly how to fix it, because you're an asshole. So that is my advice about getting unblocked. Switch from team "I will one day write something good" to team "I have no choice but to write a piece of shit" and then take off your "bad writer" hat and replace it with a "petty critic" hat and go to town on that poor hack's draft and that's your second draft. Fifteen drafts later, or whenever someone paying you starts yelling at you, who knows, maybe the piece of shit will be good enough or maybe everyone in the world will turn out to be so hopelessly stupid that they think bad things are good and in any case, you get to spend so much less time at a keyboard and so much more at a bar where you really belong because medicine because childhood trauma because the Supreme Court didn't make abortion an option until your unwanted ass was in its third trimester. Happy hunting and pecking!

You've got them backwards: roasting dries stuff out (think of coffee beans, for instance). Baking does not (think of a cake)

That's gonna be quite difficult, unfortunately

Lots of people in this thread bitching and moaning, not realizing what it means working with hundreds of gigs of video data a day
