Did this on a bus once. My college roommate and I went to London for spring break. We randomly got on the bus to see what the suburbs were like. We only planned on staying on for an hour or so, but fell asleep and 3 hours later ended up at the end of the line in who knows where.
Thankfully there was one last bus that was headed back to Central London, or we would have been screwed. Of course it was express, so it only took 45 mins to get back.
Pretty sure they did us a favor.
So what your saying is that one of the very tools that people used to protest, is now being used to perpetuate the very thing they were protesting?
Why am I not surprised.
Looked into moving there close to after everything opened up. Yeah...those prices are astronomical.
Sounds like it would be a great time to buy up countries in default, just like in the American housing market.../s
This is also true, but that true across most industry in America at this point.
If pay is even across the board than why would one person want to toil in the sun vs sit on thier bum and deal with angry customers. Most pick the angry customers...
Even when the more manual labor jobs do pay well, a ton of people quit after a day or two, granted they're usually younger people who didn't realize what the job would entail.
To be fair a couple of states cracked down hard on illegal immigrants and millions of dollars of crops rotted cause there was no one there to pick em. The states reversed course pretty fast.
Americans are pretty lazy at this point, and I speak as an American.
Ahhh, nilbog...
I barely remember the first troll, the only one that was ever worth it was troll 2
Nah, I like the stuff that gets posted on here. Brings back memories, and honestly I'm sometimes surprised when I see stuff that I didn't think anyone else even heard of. I think there was a dovetail joint song on here a while back that I was surprised anyone remembered, much less listened too, lol.
Thats good advice. I do check out the college radio from time to time. I used to be in the car alot more, which was where I got most of my radio time. Checking labels is good advice. I never thought of It really. I alot of times I would just start checking chart archives for anything that would catch my attention then go find playlists and stuff with that artist in it. Lots of time, esp. with user playlists, you can find some off the beaten path artists on it.
I have a couple of subfocus and chase and status tracks in my playlists. And this old Adam freeland (not adam f) cd from that time i went to Bonnaroo and loved the live set. I cannot dubstep though.... ambient is OK. They have this radio show called Chillville on our local alternative station on Sunday mornings I used to listen to on occasion. It can be nice depending on my mood, but typically it's too liable to induce sleep. I can do like straight techno that sometimes is thought of as ambient, since it's just the music, but I drink way to much coffee to handle anything that doesn't match my caffeine level.
It's almost like you started reading this Time Article but never finished.
Or maybe this sciences times article
While the consensus is out about whether or not or attention spans are really shortening, most sources say whatever is going on, isn't permanent...yet.
We still have the ability to unplug and find something that's truly interesting to us, something that we care about, and focus on it. We just have to find it, and then, actually do it.
This might be a loaded question, lol, sooo...
Traditionally, I like alternative / rock from all eras, although im probably most familiar with the late 90's - 10's. With some typical pop and hip hop-ish stuff sprinkled in.
A few years back i started getting frustrated with, what i percieved, as a lack of everything. Simple beats, dumbed down lyrics, grating voices... i got snobby. It got to the point where everything new comming out, was actually annoying me. I figured if it had to lack substance, at least it could have a good beat. So, i ended up listening to alot of electronic music. I'm pretty up to date with dance and house now.
Really, I'm good with most genres, save country, classical, and jazz. Although, some "country" from the early 00's can be ok. More popular Keith Urban or Kenney Chesney songs are fine, although, i guess i consider that more pop crossover.
I used to be up on all the new music and go to all the shows, but the shows stopped after marrage and my snobby self has fallen behind with the new music, although I recently discovered free vevo and xite with my Samsung TV and I've been impressed enough with some of the newer stuff to want to maybe give it another go.
Taken with my phone. The sky was overcast. As if smoke was radiating out from the sun.
