    That’s awesome you have a private dentist.

    As for mine, my local dentist knew me since 1998 since I was 6. And the fact they kept me on file for so long ever since we moved everywhere and finally back was amazing. I thought they would delete all of that to make room for others. Not keep it. 😅

    I had not gone to the dentist for about a decade, that was until 3 weeks ago; I do not like going, as my last dentist was an overly excitable bunbun dipstick.



    My new dentist is not so bad, in that she has an office Aussie Shepherd dog

    that roughly approximates a very fluffy,
    moderately friendly volleyball.




    we need to go out for walkies;
    the both of us.

    A lot of walkies

    @Grab-n-Stash: Just to clarify I didn't mean all music post-2000 was shit. There are a few good tracks.

    Don't worry about it at this point. I just took it more personal than I should've. It felt like an insult to my tastes in music that I grew up with. I'm just used to seeing the black and white/all or none mentality on the internet that it was just what I was anticipating.

    Same but change "customer" to "co-worker who threw a tantrum and resigned because they didn't like being told what to do by anyone so now I have to do their work as well as my own".

    @Grab-n-Stash: I'm not trying to make an argument start again, just trying to explain why some people may think that way. There's always trash, I won't deny that. What I won't ever understand though is trashing music past a certain point with a broad brush. I grew up with some of the trash and the gold. I can offer my personal bad music list from the 2000s to the 2010s, but it won't ever be all of it.

    I was just thinking recently, a little while after I tried to speed past the music discussion to avoid a nose dive, I've felt I had gotten a better understanding on the dislikes of some older/current music. While some of it may do with the quailty, I think a decent chunk of it may be what you hear as you grow up (the music could just be good, but hear me out). How often are you looking back at a song because you were younger at the time and it brought back memories or it was a good first impression for a genre you would grow to love over the years? I'm not saying all of it's rose tinted glasses, more so that you hold the idea of how the people back then with that genre made that music and how now it doesn't feel the same or almost hits the mark. That's why some people would call the new stuff garbage and eventually give up on listening to radio. There could be a gem among the pile if you look. I should know, I was from the 2000s and there was and still will be (some) good music.

    I think the reason may be simpler than you think. I'm guessing it's not having to be face to face or making eye contact with someone that may make online conversation easier than in person, or at the very least more appealing. I know that's the case for some people and why people may be more willing to be open online than in person. That and the anonymity aspect on most internet forums/social media.

    @W0LFB3AT5: Only listened to a little bit of it for now, but I will say that it reminds me of when people were making remixes of the home depot theme from those ads (that's a compliment). It's almost exactly what I expected so far, especially with the beginning part of the song using the theme and transitioning into the music. Vaporwave is usually a hit or miss for me though, so I might not listen to the whole thing.

    I understand that it isn’t for everyone. But still happy you took a quick listen. Thanks!

    @Grab-n-Stash:
    I'm definitely much more confident and articulate when typing words on the internet than when speaking in real life. I feel like I speak with the same amount of formality, if only a little bit more casual here. And in terms of what I talk about, I'm more open to all kinds of horny and nerdy topics when on the internet.
    Though, these are all probably just because I don't talk to people a lot in real life, unless I really need to.

    @W0LFB3AT5:
    Yay, congrats on the completion, man! The battery is fully charged!

    I think I tend to speak pretty similarly on here as how I speak in real life. also, I do try to type in such a way that it reads more or less how I'd actually say the sentence in real life.

    I think the only, like, notable diffrence is just due to the delayed nature of text posts itself. mainly, that I have a lot more time to realize that _no one_ in the room is going to get the reference I was about to make to that mid-aughts flash webseries, or that random sub-10k view YTP, or whatever other random piece of media only I remember, so I can stop myself from posting it.

    Personally, I'm probably more formal with my words here than I'll ever be in person as if this is a job I take more serious than my actual job. I usually would have words like alright or want to/going to said out loud as aright and wanna/gonna. One thing similar is that I avoid being vulgar. The only thing vulgar from me is my taste in music. Well, not all of it. And other things, but I'm sure I don't need to explain or you want to know why that is.

    Ain't it grand; my truck is just barely due for its 2nd maintenance service, and I have already had someone back up into the front, knocking the bumper a bit loose on the passenger side, and leaving a small crack in the grille :|

    My dad’s rear bumper on his BMW suffered a major bend when he had his car poking out just a bit of the garage. Soon as it closed without noticing its fully inside, the interior bolt from the garage door as it went down bent the bumper like butter. Leaving an ugly indent. Cost $800 for replacement.

    Speaking of which, that’s kinda like a wake up call for mine. Now that my car is paid off and my warranty is expired, the dealership is gonna crook me of high cost of how much oil and filter needs to change, tire rotations, battery inspection, etc.

    I gotta go take it somewhere else for them to work on my car. Probably go to Mondino Imports that cost half of what the dealership offers. 🤔

    @dba_afish: Going to be honest, I just wanted to change the current topic about music at the time, so I didn't put much thought into the implications. Also how do you mess with the text like that? I tried messing with the header thing, but I've got no clue what might be wrong. Maybe I'm misunderstanding how to do that even with the DText help page.

    you mean the small text? [sup][/sup] or [sub][/sub].

    I normally use [sub] since it reads like sotto voce, to me, at least, where as [sup] feels more whisper-y.

    you can also stack them to make text get smaller and smaller.

    If given the choice of only watching movies, tv shows or documentaries for the rest of your time alive, which one would it be?

    I would keep tv shows

    I don't want to seem like a douche, but, I have a problem with the question itself. You see, those are all categories of audio-visual narrative media™, and very similar ones at that, so giving up one of them isn't very different from giving up all of them.
    To answer the question, documentaries come in both tv presentation and movie presentation and are good to watch, but I need to be in the exact mood for it, I haven't watched one in ages, so not that one; movies are a big part of social interaction nowadays, but the good ones don't come out, relatively, very often and they're relatively short, however they can be life-changing and that gives them points, still probably not that either; many of my favorite pieces of media are tv_shows that I like to revisit

    kind of a difficult one, honestly. not because I particularly love any of these mediums, in fact I think there's five, six of each that I've sought out to watch for myself in about the past decade*. every other thing I've ever checked out is because someone in the house wants to watch it as a group, or a friend on Discord wants to sync it on call. so, this choice has the effect of potentially fucking up my main social interaction situation.

    TV'd probably be the best option, at least then I wouldn't need to make up an excuse to not go to the cinema when I don't want to, "ahh sorry, can't. I have that curse, remember?".

    *my main "me" media has really always been "weird internet garbage", all the way back to when I was but a fry browsing the NG frontpage, excited to see the new part of there_she_is release. man, kind of shocking how little my favorite genre's changed since I was in elementary. sappy furry romance back then and it kinda still is.

    Alright, since it looks like we got most of our complaints/opinions about current music out of our system, how about something simpler?

    If given the choice of only watching movies, tv shows or documentaries for the rest of your time alive, which one would it be? I'm not mentioning music or video games since the choice would be way too easy for some of you blip #126683. For me I would choose tv shows over anything else. Documentaries are very unlikely to catch my interest but there can be exceptions. Movies aren't usually my thing either since if I didn't like it the first time or had problems with it after a certain point why would I want to watch it again. Tv shows I can tolerate the most since if there's a few bad episodes I can just skip them (unless the show builds upon the last or some previous episodes so I'll miss context for how things happened)

    @savageorange: You know what, I have to agree with that. If you ask me to mention 10 bad songs I've listened to in the past year, I won't be able to answer that. Let alone songs made even earlier. But if it were good songs, then it's just a walk in the park. I think this closes the case for me.

    Yeah, I upvote pretty much anything that interests me enough to click on and I look at and go "yeah that's pretty good" or "that looks cool". I'm very loose with them because I have my favorites for posts I really like. Whereas downvoting, a post has to really irritate me to warrant it, since otherwise I just feel bad for reducing the score on an otherwise perfectly fine image. Anything I don't really have a strong opinion on I don't vote on.

    There is a real selection effect going on. Take the older stuff. Of course it seems better. Why would people bother mentioning or archiving music (or art, etc..) if it's forgettable?
    Nostalgia is a separate phenomena IMO but acts to reinforce this selection effect (because, why would we (as individuals, this time) bother remembering music/art/etc that's forgettable? That seems as if it would be positively nonfunctional.)

    Whereas contemporary creative work has only had a minimal level of filtering by the time we experience it.

    I have 458 pages of upvoted posts and only 4 pages of downvoted posts, not sure what thay says about me

    I think that's pretty normal. First of all, people uploading will have a bias towards things they like, and, as social beings, we tend to like some of the things others like, in other words, you like more posts than those you don't because it's in the nature of posts to have a higher chance of being liked. Alternatively, you upvote more posts because you're smart and you pay less attention to the things you would downvote unless the evoke a specially strong reaction, which is also natural.

Which İ guess ıs fıne, people have their own tastes. But that also means you're ıntenıonally avoıdıng fındıng the good new stuff.

    that is part of it, yes, but there's a bigger picture. Imagine you're a kid and you like music, you listen to it a lot and get used to how it sounds. But music isn't made by kids, it's made by grown-ups who, unlike kids, have an understanding of time context and the fact it changes. Because of this, what you'll see is that the music you're used to will not be made anymore, and what comes after will be different, not what you like, and you'll refuse to hear it. This is a childish reaction, yes, and someone who matures should grow out of it, but we know some people refuse to mature as well.
