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.
Well that not fun...jeeze.
Yall had fun names. Ours was just ding dong ditch.
Ahhh, nilbog...
I barely remember the first troll, the only one that was ever worth it was troll 2

I was missing a bunch of comments up until recently ... the must check English language box in a brower on instance site, not in app, issue...
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.
I saw this last night while searching for an answer to a totally different question
I know this post was a month ago, but maybe this still applies.
Yeah...
point is they didn't even catch it the first time...
Or they run every test under the sun and then ignore, misread, or plain refuse to treat the results.
The blood work shows that your blood sugar is borderline diabetic, your kidneys are failing and the xray shows a fracture... your fine, go home.
Cause well, fuck your diabetes, we won't give dialysis until your number of 16 gets to 14 even though the normal is 60 and all the rest of what's off relates to your kidneys, and we can't do anything for that fracture in your sternum anyways, nevermind, that we didn't see it until you came back complaining of chest pain...
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.
All I ever get is the damn album cover, offical audio, and some live stuff. I have to scroll a few down to find the actual video, and by then I've ended up on so many stills I give up on thinking there's a video...
Maybe they've been getting back at me all these years for turning off my history. Or maybe my google fu is poor. Oh well.
Edit: that's why I'm happy to have found this community of fine folks.
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.
