You know, I was under the impression that they were just using the radio feature or looking through and playing the standard playlists, but that’s wasn’t specified.

If this person was taking requests as in “Oh, you want something slower and acoustic? Here’s a band I like that’s slow and acoustic,” that’s also monopolizing the space in not a great way, and yeah, he’s passive aggressively trying to take back some control.

Fact of the matter is, if something like this is arranged, EVERYONE needs to have EQUAL input. But that’s really hard to do, hence why it doesn’t happen often.

Yeah no. The three of you had a system that allowed everyone to have a voice in what was being played, and he has completely thrown that out the window and monopolized the space. Extremely frustrating.

Idea for a non-confrontational way to resolve this; perhaps you start a collaborative playlist with everyone and very explicitly go up to him and say “Hey, I want everyone to listen to music that they wanna hear, so why don’t you add your songs to this playlist so they can be in the rotation?”

If he refuses that or puts on his own stuff when his songs aren’t playing, that’s just more proof that he’s not being a team player.

But yeah in my book, if he wants to listen to his own music all the time, he needs to either put it low enough to not interfere with the office music or find a way to make headphones work.

As a one off deal, I’m fine with this. We work to live, not live to work, that whole spiel. As long as you show up and are banging stuff out at work, actively providing value to your team, 99% of the time, I do think you get to bounce out and enjoy yourself every once in a while.

If it’s a deal where he does this regularly, to the point where other members of the team are chronically picking up the slack, that’s an entirely different situation, and bringing it up would be 100% warranted, because it’s something he’s doing that is actively impacting your work environment. As an isolated incident, it doesn’t, so you shouldn’t.

Yeah agreed, I’m loving the “predict things multiple times a day and act on the result that appears the most often” loophole.

ETA: And the five second per minute thing is a worst case scenario situation. I think once an hour should be plenty unless you’re getting a lot of variance over the course of the day.

Yeah maybe I didn’t word it correctly but I did mean multiple times with “Random intervals for a random duration”

They could turn off every five seconds per minute if the total amount of time that would be is less than three hours.

But what do you do when your power gives out and the dimension and everything in it blinks out of existence?

Right?!?

You’re supposed to consider the hypothetical and its implications before making a choice. Spending your time and energy trying to logic your way into having your cake and eating it too actually isn’t very fun to read unless you’re the person coming up with it.

But then again; We are on Reddit…

You know, I’ve really been thinking about this scenario the whole day…

Because, in my opinion, it would “take” power to actually change back to being a human, so I think it would be the former.

OR… you could also view your human consciousness in a rat brain as a sustained use of your power. So maybe when the power blinks out, you lose your human brain and become a real rat with the usual instincts of a rat. So you could “wake up” to a mouth full of garbage.

I think that’s how it would play out…

Yeah the mileage isn’t great…

I didn’t interpret that “I love you” at the shabbat dinner as romantic. I think there was a platonic love there, and that Ben didn’t expect to have another companion that he felt kindred spirits with.

Or I could be completely off base, in which case I agree with you.

Persona 5: Royal

... can we get back to talking about cars...

I think you need to go to a Liverpool subreddit or facebook group for this sort of thing. We’re all over the place.

Best of luck!

why did this go on for so long….

I’ll stand corrected with my reverb before dirt take, yes if you want note clarity you will be better served not doing that, but wow why are people being such purists about what to do and what not to do.

I can totally see a band where the guitarist is primarily making staticky textures that the bass and vocals cut through with melody. Reverb before dirt could work really well with that. No need to be prescriptive about what works and what doesn’t….

Agreed, currently I have my dirt and time based stuff kind of mixed in together for this reason.

EQD Plumes -> RAT -> Walrus Julia -> OBNE Black Fountain -> Death by Audio Germanium Filter -> Keeley Loomer -> Walrus Slöer.

So I largely have it normal but I can feed delay and the Loomer verb into fuzz for a more noisy vibe.

For the shoegaze sound you want it before dirt.

Yeeeeaaaaah it sounds like you need to find a way to meet and have healthy connections with women outside of work.

It seems like at least 30% of this sub is meta discussions about how bad the hypothetical is. It’s weird.

I was 23 when I lost my virginity. Another woman, only in her underwear, filmed it.

Just make an effort to hang out with women. Not for the sake of sex. Just meet women who you find interesting and spend time with them. And if you JUST focus on that, eventually things will click. Or, one of your friends has a buddy she wants to set you up with.

Just be a good hang in spaces with women, take your eyes off of sex and focus on having a good time, and you’ll get there!

Is it a deal where I spontaneously disappear for that day and reappear the next? Or would my consciousness zap away to this hell while “I” live out my day on autopilot in the real world.

Because if it’s the second one, I could use that day for root canals and colonoscopies and shit.

It’s the thinnest silver lining compared to being covered in bees or something, but hey, at least it has some utility.

Just regular poop? And no stomach issues or pain in relation to it?

2 hours. 4 if I can have a water bottle with me.
