Some songs don’t fit the vibe 🎥

#is that robert reich father of sam reich game changer man

He's also the former US Secretary of Labor and served in the administrations of multiple US presidents but yes, he is the father of sam reich game changer man

#im sorry was no one gonna tell me Sam Reich Game Changer is the son of the former US Secretary of Labor#not to take away from the initial message (even though like yeah we been known)#but like that feels like information tumblr would be more forthcoming with in their praise of that show

Why do you think the dropout cast all joke about him being a nepo baby?

The reason he's the CEO of dropout is because when collegehumor was dying and the cast all wanted to keep working together and having fucking jobs, he was the only one in a mass of starving artists who could afford to buy and try to resuscitate it. That was a massive financial risk and the fact that it seems to be working is nothing short of a miracle. Everyone thank former US Secretary of Labor and general champion of worker's rights Robert Reich for raising a son with financial security.

For raising a son with financial security and a drive to get other people financial security too.

Sam is the guy that capitalists want to pretend Elon Musk is when they talk about "job creators"

HOLD THE LINE!! KEEP PUSHING!!!!!

Sorry babes but as someone who lived lug around 500 cds they can die. To me lps are at least pretty and pretentious like a fine wine. Cds have no point

the point is cds are sexy as hell. sorry you dont know what sex is.

visual diagram btw ^

@danepopfrippery

The real point is that you OWN a CD. You do NOT own anything digital you purchase.

Google Play stole hundreds of dollars worth of music I paid them for from me by forcing me to upload it to YouTube Music (or lose it entirely) which is behind a subscription paywall, requiring me now to pay more money every month if I want to listen to MY music I PAID for without constant advertising.

You do not own anything digitally purchased. It can be taken back from you at any time and it is fully legal for big corporations to do so for some reason.

CDs can't be taken from you unless they come into your house or car in person to physically pry them out of your cold dead hands.

That's why the resurgence. As funny as that person's reply to you was, it's not in fact because they look sexy. It's because you actually own them.

Look- CDs are your friend. CD-ROMs and CD drives with the capacity to burn? Are your friends with benefits.

Can anyone teach me how to burn Digital only songs into CDs?

i can ask my dad!! i think you need a certain piece of hardware, but i dont think its difficult!

not rn tho hes asleep

I would love that thank you!!

here you go!!

My contribution to the discussion

My burner in my old desktop works like this:

Empty cd in the slot

Open cd on desktop

Drag music files in

Done

I spent so many hours burning CDs in high school. AND I STILL HAVE THEM. IN A CD FOLDER IN MY CAR. Because sometimes I drive through the mountains and lose cell reception and can no longer stream Spotify over bluetooth.

CDs are useful, my lambs.

Also this whole thread has made me feel Very Over 30.

And for reference, since they took the disc drives out of computers for the same reason they fucked with headphone jacks, you can get a CD burner drive with a USB connection for like $30.

My parents have a “Festivus” party every year and this year I found this sign on their bedroom door

certified door post

I think some of y’all are missing the point reading some of these tags

They’re not saying “wow that’s such a small amount to win.” Cause yeah to every normal person $434M is a life time of money to have.

What they’re pointing out is looking at how much the gov taxed of that $2 billion, makes it glaringly obvious how little actually billionaires are paying in taxes comparatively.

Waiting for Her Sock

LMAO THEY WERE RUTHLESS

mini Lloyd as an excuse for not posting anything on Halloween yeaaa

(If ure wondering why Kai’s is different, it’s because its my favorite, and it’s also technically my name lmfao)

Running Errands

hey. HEY. artists. writers.

take your TIME

saying it again for myself. there is no ticking clock. there is nobody breathing down your neck. this passion project is going to come out how YOU want it, in a way that makes YOU satisfied

take your time

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

Do you know how bugfuck insane the words "Unionized Starbucks" would have sounded to someone in 2005? Baristas getting union-mandated breaks could have been a throwaway joke in part of the Scary Movie franchise as something ridiculous.

RALPH NADER WAS AGITATING FOR A FIFTEEN DOLLAR MINIMUM WAGE IN 2004 AND SHIT IS MOVING SLOWLY BUT MY STATE HAS A TWENTY DOLLAR MINIMUM WAGE FOR FAST FOOD WORKERS. WHEN I STARTED HIGH SCHOOL THE ONLY OPTION FOR AN ABORTION AFTER 7 WEEKS WAS SURGICAL AND NOW THERE'S A PILL.

FUCKING. ELECTRIC CARS. SO GODDAMNED MANY PEOPLE HAVE SOLAR PANELS ON THEIR HOUSES OR IN THEIR PARKING LOTS.

WE DON'T HAVE SMOG DAYS IN LOS ANGELES ANYMORE UNLESS THERE'S A FIRE AND IT'S BECAUSE OF CARB STANDARDS.

LITERALLY MILLIONS OF FUCKING PEOPLE TURNED OUT TO PROTEST POLICE BRUTALITY IN 2020 AND YOU CAN SAY "NOTHING HAPPENED" ALL YOU WANT BUT THE WAY PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IT NOW IS FUCKING DIFFERENT THAN THEY DID AFTER RODNEY KING AND NOW PEOPLE WILL STOP AND WATCH OUT FOR EACH OTHER INSTEAD OF GOING 'NOT MY BUSINESS'

THERE IS A MALARIA VACCINE THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO OVER A MILLION CHILDREN IN JUST THE LAST FIVE YEARS SINCE IT WAS APPROVED FOR USE OUTSIDE OF TRIALS

I think it's really important to remind people that things have, to some degree or another, always been shit. The more you learn about history, the more you realize that every time has deeply sucked in some profound way. This mythical Time Before Everything Was Bad doesn't exist. The more things change, the more they stay the same. It is always the best of times, it is always the worst of times. That's Samsara for ya.

I want to reiterate how far trans awareness and rights have come. I'd never encountered the concept until I was about 20, in the very early aughts. I have multiple friends who could not get healthcare of any kind until the ACA. I remember the party when domestic partnerships -- not marriage, just domestic partnerships -- were legalized in my state.

I think a lot of the utter bullshit we're seeing now is people reacting to that progress. Don't ever forget that it's happened, and it can happen again if it has to.

When I enlisted in the Coast Guard in 1993, Don't Ask Don't Tell was brand new. My enlistment papers still had the old "homosexual activity" questions crossed out in Sharpie. That's all dead and buried now. It's history.

I grew up in the Satanic Panic. Actual, legal adults worried about the sanity and immortal souls of kids because we played Dungeons & Dragons. This summer, 2024, I bought literal actual official D&D US Postage Stamps. We went from "omg threat to children" to normal enough to be a fucking stamp.

People—assholes—have been crying about "political correctness" all my life. PC was never really about anything more than maybe treating people with some basic respect, and y'know what? Despite all the conservative tears, it DID move the dial on how people talk. It fucking mattered. It still matters.

And green energy is happening whether some assholes in government like it or not. It's getting cheaper and it's spreading and fossil fuels look like a worse long-term investment all the time, regardless of who's in the White House.

Things do get better. The world has always been rough, and many things will continue to be rough. But in spite of that, many things are way better than they used to be, and they'll keep getting better no matter how many rich and bigoted assholes throw tantrums about it.
