I do own a CD player yes and that’s part of the reason I do enjoy the physical media piece.
The other part of buying the CDs is that the music is kept in-tact. I’ve had a couple of albums from my own childhood/teen years that are just straight up not available on any streaming platform for one reason or another. In those instances I’m very appreciative to have an exact copy of the music, as it was when it was originally recorded.
Apple Music has some quirks but it’s what I’ve settled on because I already own mostly Apple devices and it handles importing owned media well (after you learn some of those said quirks)
It allows me to keep my personal and streaming library in the same app but also has some segregation between the two. They also pay artists more than Spotify.
I still try and buy CDs for any music I really care about. It’s the best way to support the artist and also I appreciate the nostalgia piece.
Don’t give em any ideas
Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl
Idk? I just said words back to the words you said. What’s the point of anything?
I doubt you can find a snickers being sold that isn’t under camera surveillance uploaded somewhere at this point.
It’s 2025. If you’re outside, you’re on video.
Late 90s for me and we were VERY into music so a lot of my early internet experience was on a site called shoutweb.com. It had news articles and forums dedicated to music and tours.
It was so much better to be able to search through and find different fan websites and forums. Nowadays that’s just Reddit and Facebook groups, and although I don’t use either anymore, they were never as good or as fun and compelling as all the fan sites made back in the day.
Make a list and claim it’s 100% complete. I bet people come with all the receipts to prove you wrong. Then use all that info to build a (probably) fairly complete list lol
Wouldn’t it make more sense to either implement real vote privacy or just open the viewing window up for everyone equally?
Apologies for the completely random thought but this is the 2nd time in my life I’ve see “‘tude” written down. first time was in the “I can’t remember” song by Alice In Chains, so you’re in good company haha
I don’t know what the actual right answer is, but those frustrations you’re talking about are actually things that those kids are going to have to deal with moving forward into adulthood so operating in that context isn’t necessarily bad.
That doesn’t mean learning how to interface with textbooks shouldn’t also be a thing though.
