I see you missed my point.

I can’t believe I’m on the music industry’s side on this. It’s a sad day when I have to root for the team that’s made it hard for me to make a living while they fight against the team that’s trying to make me obsolete.

That 15 yr old cracked CS5 I have on an old hard drive is looking mighty scrumptious right now.

The sheer amount of accounts I don’t follow and/or adds I DO see already do this for me. It’s a nice “feature” they added for me. Way to go Meta. I get bored fast now and close the app.

It’s almost like I’ve heard investing advice say this for my entire life. Can’t imagine why’d they tell us that over and over and then corner the market. Couldn’t be that they lie to us. That just, like CAN’T be. Right? RIGHT?!

Seems like you’re hearing it perfectly, but not listening.

That’s funny, cause I say the same thing about him.

Yo, JK, it’s SO EASY to NOT say anything. Just stop saying things.

The convenience you required is now mandatory.

This record was released in 2001. A few years pre-iPod.

As a musician who has been following this closely for a while, it keeps getting worse and worse. Musicians of my status have less and less opportunities to make a living off of our art in a world that is becoming increasingly easier to produce and distribute in. I’ve done this a long time and have had moderate success in the past. It’s to the point now though that the ways I THOUGHT musicians made money was never available to me, and the way we DID make money when I started almost doesn’t exist anymore either.

The premise is really cool which is what interested me enough to read the first book (Startide Rising) which I enjoyed.

Future human race is entering a galactic civilization, where all the space-faring species were “uplifted” by a previous space-faring race. Uplifting essentially means educating, breeding, and enhancing species to the point of our intelligence. Humans in this universe have done this to dolphins and great apes. The other alien species in the series looks down on humans as no one knows who or even if humans were uplifted. The main characters in Startide Rising were humans, dolphins and one chimpanzee, all on a spaceship crashed on an alien world.

I would suggest at least giving the series a shot.

It does, but I’ve seen these and they are nice but not what I’m looking for. Thanks either way!

Yeah that’s the thing, search results seem to end up just melting into every key cap ever after a couple of pages. I get that’s the nature of searching for something I want to purchase but hot damn is it annoying.
