I don't really like Tidal, but this is why I have stuck with Tidal instead of switching back to Spotify. At least the artists get more money, and I get my higher bitrate. Now it seems that prices are getting even closer to parity, so that's less of a reason to switch back.

I considered trying Qobuz or Deezer, but I'm too lazy to switch right now.

Just to let you know, Tidal is not that great either.

Frequently having issues with downloaded albums, where I go into offline mode, pull up an album, and it says "can't connect" despite being in offline mode and the album taking up storage space on my phone.

Also, the discovery and new releases sections aren't very well made.

Lots of people in the comments self-reporting their habits in games with voice chat... yikes...

Having witnessed teenage boys moaning into a microphone for an entire 25-minute match because my friend (a woman) spoke twice, I would say that it has nothing to do with growing thick skin.

My friend has thick skin. They heard it, muted everyone, calmly asked me to be the middleman for important callouts, and we played out the match. That is just normal there, unfortunately.

I believe they were making a joke about your use of the word "collage."

I heard people got respiratory cancers specifically from being in the military and having been instructed to burn piles of trash without proper safety equipment.

And then they got discharged, fucked over sideways by the VA, and died. Welp.

I'm not that young, but sometimes I see people here refer to their childhoods, and then I feel like a baby.

I suppose that makes this guy the most bandit-y bandit Image of Nigel Thornberry, with his gloriously large nose and pointy chin

Yeah, seriously. Did the person you were replying to think the energy that's powering datacenters was all clean?

A woman fell to her death right before the graduation ceremony... and then this guy did sing-a-longs, crypto powerpoints, and ayahuasca speeches?

I checked my throwaway/spam account. Apparently, I'm a high-wage tech employee at a large company, and I'm also a homeowner.

Damn, they think too highly of me.
