You were eating cheap salmon!

Probably Greek then.

This stuff's made in New York City!

SEO has been absolutely terrible for news.

Small hands, Big Mac.

Don't kinkshame ... some of us enjoy prompt fondling.

I still did my own writing. It was just a way to be one step removed from wording of the source material. I checked carefully to make sure it hadn't gone off on a fanciful excursion.

I started my mp3 collection in 1997. Metadata was nonexistent, and online databases weren't yet a thing. (I was mostly downloading 112kbps from IRC F-servs).

It is a bitch to get your collection in order, even with a tool like MusicBrainz Picard, but worth it in the end. It took me about a week to actually complete that project. The new stuff I download already has the metadata, so it's a solved problem.

Oh my god ... they fixed Landru?

Oh, FLAC will boost your file sizes. I'm content with 320 mp3s.

OK, try buying the single you want from Tower in 1997. I actually spent $500 at Virgin in Vancouver to discover new music, but the ROI just wasn't there.

You can just suggest bleach injections and divert responsibility. It's still better than eating cilantro.

Why would you encourage people to eat soap?

God, one year at the school paper, the applicant for ad manager talked about her "wonderful repertoire with editorial." Some malaprops, you can handle. This was just like "how the fuck?"

That was the first clear sign that Lorca was from the Mirror Universe.

Elon is, as demonstrated, happy to let that sink in.

I'm not an asshole, just an opinionated prick.

OK. Listen to what you like, I'll listen to what I like, and we can go about our days.

Are you not judging me without context?

I guess that's certainly a thing to do. But not all albums are journeys, and thus, one buys individual tracks because the rest of it sucks.
