It's like Canada ignored the H-1B visa outcome... or... long to learn - short to remember.

I guess my challenge to audibly understand the person making my samich, will only escalate.

Tim Horton's is doing backflips!

But where it pertains to construction of new homes should be of serious concern. Especially based on the fact that Canadians rely almost exclusively on the value in their home as their retirement plan. That home will not only depreciate from market conditions, it has a serious risk relating to wood rot and damage that will be massively expensive to repair.

To be fair, the pressure on these workers to complete a house quickly adds to the risk, not just a lack of language and communication on a job site.

Cognitive impairments due to micro-platics c/w brain rot AI-slop, is definitely Zombifying a lot of people.
I'm also noting serious decline in mental acuity in the triple+ jabbed.
It's almost as if their brain has been deprived of oxygen. People in public doing absolutely ludicrous things are now putting others at risk.
You've got to have your head on a swivel these days and anticipate monumental stupidity. The general population is racing toward full retardation. #DarwinAwards

very cool 🎻

Acid used to be my go to. Haven't used it for a minute but you can build songs right out of the gate without needing to get your head around MIDI.
FL has a bigger community while Acid was simpler IMO.

Hollywierd movies:
Expected audiences - no effort put into creativity. Rinse/repeat

The collapse of this cespool will be glorious.

As one who lives above the 49th parallel, renaming a lake as a troll meme is meh. I feel nothing.
Mind you, that's from someone who lives in a city that renamed streets into something I can't pronounce, let alone spell. So...

Totally agree. I've lost respect for people I followed with reverence during the previous three cycles and the drama that followed. Their inability to let differences go, instead subjecting themselves to piling on, was disappointing and revealing of their true character and lack of self esteem. It proves you never really know who people are until their weakness is exposed. This went beyond disagreement; the tribal collectivism was shocking and diametrically opposed to the free-thinking individuals I once thought they were.

Yes! Buy CDs and any merch that you like which supports the artist.
... but sharing is caring.

What would you rather be as a writer/performer?

100% control and distribution of all your music which no one ever hears

A popular artist/band that is enjoying a song/album that's going viral through file sharing.

LFG! 🔥

Acceptable Use: I bought the Album/CD/Tape and my friend is welcomed to use use it for free, listen to it and make a copy, while I maintain ownership of the original.

Paying a levy on blank recording media is a grift by the IMC (Industrial Music Complex).

Whenever possible:
Buy direct from the artist - share their work, encourage others to compensate the artist if not through a purchase of the same content then through a tip/donation to their Nostr account.

Copying is not theft.
Listening without compensating the creator is your prerogative.
Really digging the shit and never paying a cent for it - you will surely go to hell - but that's on you 😈 😇

Make Music Sharing Great Again!
