    ah shit, you're right, I misremembered. I must have tried logging into my online account, which had been removed at that point. looks like they wiped out any points not used by 2017.

    I just checked and no, they don't expire as long as your credit card account is open. if you close the account, you have to use them in a certain period of time or lose them. when I lived there I had an air miles card. only ever used it when going to the lcbo. collected points for over 10 years without ever using them. I totally forgot about it after moving back to the states. then one day I randomly remembered and wanted to look to see how many I had. turns out they had shut down the whole program and all points not used by a certain date were gone. so I pulled that stupid thing out for 10 years handing it to a cashier to scan, all for nothing. probably had enough to get a free microwave by that point lol.

    can confirm those types of credit cards with cash back rewards, points, etc. are very common here in the U.S., and have been for a long time. we get bombarded all the time with TV commercials advertising them. I have a credit card with points I can redeem for either cash back or gift cards & discounts toward certain items. I don't use the card enough to get too much back from it though. I usually take the digital cash and apply it toward the credit card balance.

    super late to the party on the haircuts for men thing. I listened once awhile back and thought it was ok, but I've now fallen down the rabbit hole and been consuming his stuff non-stop lately. IMO the releases he's done with a year in the title are the best (1982, 1985, Beat 1995-1999, etc.). and there's a "barber beats" genre, which is essentially other bandcamp artists copying him. which apparently is all good in this scene... this one is pretty good tho: https://macroblank.bandcamp.com/album/--13

    yeah man, most people at this current point in time are probably going to be slightly more sensitive to the fact that a huge chunk of the workforce out there are probably still working from home, and therefore the odd technical snafu is bound to occur. I had to give a presentation over microsoft teams awhile back and had no clue that the whirring of my laptop fan could be heard loud and clear by all on the call. one of my co-workers on the call was messaging me like wtf dude...are u vacuuming right now? that taught me to disconnect my monitors before using my laptop on teams calls, since the laptop struggles sometimes pumping out all those resources to make them images on screens occur. and in my experience, most people when doing b2b stuff are pretty reasonable anyway, and would be a total dick move to end a working relationship over a stupid technical glitch. besides, look at that asshat Toobin, who got caught whacking it on a zoom call, and is now back in the good graces of the American cable news programs.

    I was one of those who thought Kurt was singing "it's okay to eat fish, 'cause they don't have any feet," which I interpreted as him saying if an animal has feet on it, then we shouldn't be eating it. then I found out he was actually saying "'cause they don't have any feelings" and I felt silly for thinking about the feet thing.

    looks like Arnie's bodybuilding bros didn't appreciate his candor here. hopefully he doesn't lose too much sleep over it: https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/569148-sponsor-drops-schwarzenegger-over-anti-mask-rant

    Now Reading

    zero replied to a topic in General Banter

    ha, read that like 20 years ago. I remember it made quite an impact on me at the time. I used to go around spouting AI/futurist type nonsense back then, and would use some of the ideas he put forward in the book as points for discussion. this was back in the days not too long after The Matrix was released, and AI was having its moment in the spotlight (coincidentally, peak IDM was around then as well lol). I was also like early 20's when I read it, and truly believed a lot of that stuff. now I'm middle aged, bitter, and hate computers.

    I've been watching a lot of '70s/'80s movies that are considered "classics" that I've seen bits and pieces of on TV over the years, but have never actually watched the whole thing. you know, the ones where you think "wait, haven't I seen that? I mean I think I've seen that at some point, right?" and then you dive into the memory banks and realize you actually haven't. and all these streaming services have made it so much easier. back in the olden days, you'd either have to commit to renting it, buying it used on DVD, or go internet hunting looking for some illegitimate copy. Raising Arizona (1987) - I had definitely seen quite a bit of it, as many parts were vaguely familiar. zany is probably the word best to describe it. many lols to be had, but definitely not the Coen Bros best. The Warriors (1979) - NYC classic. much goofier than I expected. I'd always heard it was a disturbing, grindhouse sort of film, but hardly compared to some of the schlock out there. and all these years, I had in my mind that the movie dialogue sampled in Beastie Boys "Professor Booty" was from this film. but nope, had it wrong. looked it up and that was Wild Style.

    bought the CD the day it came out. was living in non-hipster Oklahoma back then, so had to drive across town to a smaller indie type music shop that had probably ordered like a grand total of 2 copies of it. put it on in the car on the drive back home and was like wtf when I first heard the vocoded hymnal like voice on Music is Math. by the end of the track I remember thinking huh, this is a little darker than MHTRTC. by the time Gyroscope came on though I was like aw shit...this is f'n rad. can't remember exact emotions for the rest, but it did take a minute for the whole thing to click. Alpha & Omega was an instant favorite.

    fear definitely motivates people to take action. fear of getting sick, and possibly death, caused just about all of us to stay inside and avoid all contact with others roughly 1.5 years ago. but that type of fear is fear of the unknown. no one really knew wtf was going to happen in the next few days, weeks, ahead, and what exactly this virus was capable of. the type of fear you are alluding to (I think), is misdirected anger caused by non-factual bullshit being spewed over the internet. this is the problem we are faced with now. people are trusting snippets of internet posts as fact. they are drawing conclusions (incorrectly) based on what others are passing around on social media. hardly any of it is rooted in reality, but one little bit may make sense to someone, and then it snowballs from there. IMO this inability to filter out the BS from the truth is due to a lack of critical thinking ability, reasoning skills, and as I've said many times before here, a lack of general common sense amongst large swaths of the population. how did we get here? rise of internet/social media. how do we fix it? well, a start is to try and stop the BS from being shared, like what twitter/FB, etc. have attempted to do. but that is only a band aid. the bigger question here is how do we change people's ability to better filter and disseminate information...

    until they find a way to shut down the 'ol tweets, facebooks, or whatever tf platform they're on, then highly doubtful, my friend. social media is what kills people living in echo chambers.

    watched the first episode of The Deuce and thought it was great. I am struggling to get through the 2nd episode. don't think I've lost interest in a show this quickly before. I see all the reviews saying this is an amazing show and makes me think I should stick with it, but...or maybe it's just that I find James Franco slightly obnoxious. I think the problem with most David Simon productions is they introduce way too many characters very quickly, so you have all these names and faces continually thrown at you, and you're left struggling trying to make sense of it. I remember feeling that way with The Wire when I first saw it. didn't really click for me until maybe the 5th or 6th episode, because then I could remember names and character types, motivations, etc.
