Anything by Ed Sheeran but especially Shape Of You. Can’t believe it was the most popular song for a long while. It’s so repetitive and grating, and the lyrics are cringe af at best, objectifying and creepy at worst.

An article about how the song was written: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/20/arts/music/ed-sheeran-shape-of-you.html

Mr. Mac and Mr. McDaid weren’t convinced. “‘I’m in love with your body,’ on its own with no addendum, with nothing at the end or no preface, felt objectifying to me,” Mr. McDaid said. “It felt like that’s the thing — it’s just physical, it’s nothing else.”

yup

Mr. Mac gave the collaborators a challenge: to use the same four chords throughout, not switching to a major key for the chorus.

Being bland and repetitive was an intentional design decision. That’s why I hate it more than anything else.

After about 90 minutes, they had recorded the complete song.

:margot-disgust:

Absolute gross slop.

I’m 80% sure this reddit post itself is written by chatgpt, it’s way too chirpy and nobody actually talks like the last paragraph

I love you too TC69

Yeah, that’s how I feel. I post on here to chill out, not to start a revolution. If I’m putting in effort, I’m putting it into irl organising.

It’s good to see you again. I can tell you that I would CERTAINLY not be here right now if you hadnt made the impact you did on the site’s culture and its overall acceptance of trans people. I’m so happy for that. 🖤❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Love going downhill cause I’m fast and I hate going uphill cause I’m slow, so it’s a mixed experience living in one of the hilliest cities

software development in most shops is just duct taping problems because there is “never time” to actually fix the problem or address the root because we have to sprint on to something else.

At my workplace I am the duct taper. I’m not a real developer myself - I’m a person with development skills whose job is to clean up the mess that the real developers mindlessly create in their rush to get cards from one side of the screen to the other.

The cruelty is the point

Wow, that’s so close that it’s basically a toss-up. Of course, the outcome I’m really hoping for is the <1% chance of a 270 split…

Jill Stein. Vote for her to make liberals very very very annoyed

GOOD post

the system utilizes artificial intelligence

Four years ago this might have meant something. Now it just means sending the photo to ChatGPT and asking it to hallucinate a diagnosis

I don’t get it
