Wait is using "/handy" as a shorthand for Deep Thoughts with Jack Handy... Is that a thing?

Well I think we're due for another installment then!

Okay, you didn't have to put so much mustard on it.

You like dags?

Yeah but the first season of most shows, especially sitcoms, is usually rough. If it feels like it has any potential at all, I think you should give it at least a second season.

"I am gonna get you so many lizards!" Whenever my wife has already done a chore/task I was intending to do.

What if some moistened bing lobbed a scimitar at me?

I've never been able to watch past Rita dying. Colin Hanks as a villain sounds amazing, but whenever I get to her death it just feels too shitty and I can't bring myself to start that season.

You must mean plane-et.

14 years myself. More than a third of my life. Your bad relationship analogy is a pretty good one (the analogy, that is). I was in a real life one of those about the same time I joined reddit. Glad that one didn't last nearly as long!

It's worth noting though that the shitty music of yesteryear doesn't persist in the public consciousness. When we think of music from previous generations, we're thinking about the stuff that was good enough to last (or bad enough, I suppose, if it's notably bad). So the popular music of today may seem to be dominated by shit, but you'd have to examine what else was on the airwaves of a given era to really make a good comparison.

I also think there's two major factors brought on by technological advancement and they both have a positive side. There are a lot more avenues to discover music than there have ever been. Musicians no longer have to be extremely talented and have broad appeal to reach an audience. From the listener's point of view, it's much easier to find good music that fits your particular tastes. And I think that in turn leaves more room in the mainstream avenues for lower quality but broadly appealing music.

The other factor is the accessibility of the technology to make and share music, which I think makes it easier for both "good" and "bad" music to find it's way outside of the artist's bedroom, so to speak.

I was just thinking yesterday I hadn't heard that phrase in a while...
