Thanks, I do find teaching to be very rewarding. Very fortunate that I get to do things I genuinely enjoy for a living!

I play and teach bass for a living. Been playing for over 12 years and making my own tunes on the side.

Probably referencing the upcoming Great Meme Reset of '26?

Silence, bot

Some reccs I would classify as “Jazz Noir”:

Goodbye Pork Pie Hat (Charles Mingus)
Blue in Green (Miles Davis)
Cry Me A River (Dexter Gordon)
Sugar (Stanley Turrentine)

Communication is the most important thing- I was feeling stuck in this pattern I my relationship of many years, feeling like all I could do was “give” the physical intimacy while my partner “received” it. After some conversation and a couple of false starts, she is doing a wonderful job at taking the initiative more and now it feels like more of a 50/50 thing. My point is, it’s definitely out there but you may need to work with someone to tell them what you want And be patient while your partner is trying something that may be new and unfamiliar.

Not a traditional pick, but “The Pink Phantom” by Gorillaz does a good job with themes of nostalgia.

You’d be surprised at how not online most people are.

Duolingo has been systemically firing their workers and replacing them with AI.

Pretty sure literally nobody here said that

Nah, man

Bass and bong

AI art bad

Scandalous!

These memes are expanding my dong brain

AI art bad

Okay, I read it years ago and forgot that necessary context, so that one’s my bad. I still take issue with the AI art/media that has been creeping in here lately.

At least they’re not actively stealing ideas from other commenters and passing them off as their own.

Stop posting AI slop, this doesn’t even make sense
