    Social Media's Effects On Our Minds & Lives

    in General Banter

    Posted

     

    Facebook is useful for communication but all the bullshit in the newsfeed are boring and depressing (pictures of other people's kids are annoying as fuck, who cares about that seriously ?)

    Out of curiosity, why do pics of other peoples kids annoy you so much? Only asking cos I post pics of my daughter now and then, mainly for the benefit of relatives who don't see her that much. I know it annoys people though, especially my wife's middle aged spinster mates who still behave like they're 18 years old. Probably makes them feel their biological clock is about to run out or something. I've seen a few passive aggressive comments from them 'apologising' for not posting photos of kids, then posting pics of themselves making drunken twats of themselves on a nightly basis. I unfollowed them, bloody harridans.

     

    Anyway, after reviewing my post above I realise I am a boring bastard busybody and seriously need to quit Facebook now.

     

     

     

    Pictures of your kid should not be publicly displayed on the internet until they're 30 and have accomplished something worthy of widespread attention, until then you're just showing off your ability to come in a vagina and not have a retard pop out, which doesn't impress anybody but your parents. :emotawesomepm9:

     

    Do you ever think about how your kids are unable to give informed consent about this public photo documentation of their lives and, upon turning 18, may seriously resent you for it? I know that if my parents posted "just had his first poo!" with a picture of 4-year-old me standing next to an excrement-filled toilet, and it was out in the digital ether linked to my legal name forever, I'd probably be furious. Not saying you'd do something that crude, but you ARE putting them into a giant facial recognition database that might land them jail time when they get into graffiti at age 19 and are picked up by speed cameras linked to a global law enforcement AI.

    This.

     

    dude, I'm pretty young and you know what ? I don't want kids. There's no personal pictures on my account. Why do you think peoples would care about your kids taking a poop or whatever ? Now girls are posting pictures of their ecography "hey come on everyone look at my foetus !!!" I mean WTF ?

    I got introduced to him at a house party which was playing a shitty tape copy of SAW. Worked for me.

    Yes it's about sound carried by waves

    Plastic and video and cardboard is fine but not essential for music that can stand on its own

    What about remastered tracks available for download as flac/wav?

    Otoh I would just as soon be crack on with the uploading.

     

     

    I have no need for physical media, that shit is an anachronism to me. The point isn't to have a physical object with some artwork, it's to have some of the best tracks properly mastered and lovingly tweaked by the man himself (plus a bonus track or two he said he wouldn't stick on the soundcloud). If he'd rather not do it and instead concentrate on the occasional new upload and making new tracks I'm not going to complain, but it seems equally silly to complain if he does want to put out a properly mastered release. I get the impression from his recent interviews he always wanted to put out a box set or at least the best of some of his unreleased tracks, he was just never able to choose between all the tracks - this poll idea should get around that.

     

    yes music is all about bad mp3 and hard drive. lol

     

     

    it's about sound waves vibrating through the air and into my ears. if other people get off on fetishising physical objects good for them. the medium is irrelevant to me though.

    All of you have been brainwashed into thinking you need box sets and cds, why is fucking plastic so important? This is turning into a bigger deal than the actual music and thats sad, you guys are putting all of your energy into a fucking piece of plastic with 14 songs in it when a digital format alow us to have 200+ tunes. Its a waste of resources, and no wonder half the amazon rainforest is gone.
