I’ve been a paying member for almost a decade. I’ve been training it that entire time with what I do and don’t like. I’ve also been using their suggested playlists for years and further refining what they recommend. So their algorithm is a huge part of it for me. I am constantly finding songs and artists I wouldn’t have been exposed to otherwise.

That said, I’ve been holding my nose while I renewed the service for the past couple of years. I’m willing to part ways for Tidal if it’s a comparable service with better benefits to the artists.

Also the very heavy and intentional use of pronouns.

Deep Thoughts… by Jack Handy.

Lol. Sure sure.

I’ve seen photos someone in Israel with connections has of Palestinians posing as dead with fake blood, with the Al Jazeera photographer standing by to take the photo or video, and afterwards the “dead” children all get up and cleaned up.

Where? Where have you seen that?

A police officer being unable to think in such a fashion is exactly why no one could solve the see-saw riddle on Brooklyn 99.

Why?

Case in point: a number of years ago I knew a kid who was smart enough to flash Tomato on his router, enable SSH and even install a bunch of Entware packages. But he wasn’t intelligent enough to change the SSH port from 22 or leave the remote access disabled.

Fast forward a month or two and his ISP tells him that they traced some pretty serious botnet shenanigans to his IP.

Just because someone is smart enough to use a device doesn’t necessarily mean they’re intelligent enough to use it safely.

He is literally living out comedy sketches now.

The Browns tried like hell to lose the last two games but the officials just wouldn’t let them.
