It's sad/funny you say this as I just made this meme today in regards to a similar topic...

When I worked for the old Buy-Low in White Rock, we could set our own prices based upon our costs, but had to adhere to flyer prices.

One time a flyer price was higher than our regular price, so the sale tag read "You save -$0.50!"

Rock Band's not dead! It happens every month on the last Friday* at The Rec Room Brentwood in Burnaby, BC presented by @bonusstagevan.bsky.social and featuring my ungodly huge song catalogue which is now over 1600 songs!! :P

*(assuming doesn't conflict with holidays or special events)

Old Smart TV (with usable features/integrations) > Dumb TV > New Smart TV that thinks its smarter than me, but is actually dumber than a Dumb TV (Oh, like that isn't seemingly relfective of our current state of affairs...)

And there it is, another of the many reasons I swore off LG. :P

I said in another post to a friend, I would pay any reasonable amount of money per month to have full digital access to any and all art and media for convenience.

But that's with the understanding that it goes towards preservation, not product peddling.

And $1/day for a single "service" ain't it.

Something something, technically Apple products can only have worms, not viruses. :P

I have said I would pay any reasonable amount of money to have access to any and all art and media that has existed.

However, that would never work under our current failing capitalism because they want products, not preservation.

But I would never pay $1/day for just one single service like this.

The eyes say "What are you going to do to me?"

But in the bad/fearful way, not the bratty/sexy way.

Also, at least the art was appreciated by the patron. Now it's just traded like hockey cards in order to launder or hide money.

Everytime I hear "Famous art piece sold at auction for $50M, previously sold for $30M five years ago" I cringe very hard, they just see monetary value not an artistic one.

Travis Duncan Stewart @travisdstewart.bsky.social · 7d

It's kinda always been that way, art as a product. But at least once upon a time, an artist was funded by wealth to just create art, the trade-off was it became the property of the patron.

Not perfect, but a seemingly better system than grinding for hours in hopes of selling prints to compensate.

Jeez, and I thought that cringe as fuck Walmart nostalgia slop video was bad. :P

I've still been on edge about him since the SNL Monologue "New York is back, baby!" in regards to Rick Moranis getting sucker punched.

Like my brother in christ, Rick Moranis is a comedy legend who's shoes you could only dream to fill and he abandoned those shoes to walk the path of being a father.

I'm 99% sure this guy only "hunts" in the aspect that he goes out and shoots some wild animal, but then has his buddy load it into his Truckborghini and drive it to a butcher shop to break it down for him.

Safe bet if he tried to do that himself he'd waste half the meat, and likely taint the rest.

Did you make tactical reload sounds in your head? Or a bunch of spell incantations? :P

And of course, special shout out to Modern Viagra, a band who got up (pun intended) and who were Born This Way (pun intended) to play the Secret Song! They won 4 free Game Bands provided by The Rec Room! We'll be at The Rec Room Granville on October 10th if you want to come play and maybe win too!
