I had to get up for a piss at 4am every night last week because i drank a glass of water before bed. When I think fuck it and just wet the bed, I guess that's when I'm really old and living in a care home
- I don't drink anything after 10pm for this reason loldesmo
- I sleep at 10pm lolSimonFFM
- I deeply needed to pee at 7. partner had important zoom meeting at 9. didn't want to awaken her. soon as her alarm went off, I jumped like a motherfuckerNairn
- over her to rush to the toilet. she was a little shocked, I could tell. an hour and a half I lay there, like a twat. no headphones either, so no podcastsNairn
- just bladder-congnizant existential waiting.Nairn
- Bedroom is small, because LDN. if i could've just gone around the side, obviously I would've. Just realised how stupid the above thought process sounds.Nairn
- This is disturbing. Not a sign of getting old.monospaced

Being super upset that the thread title "Signs your getting old?" has "you're" misspelled.
- Yup. I've snapped 3 pencils in my right hand, had a ride in my BMW and downed a few glasses of scotch just to calm me down over this... grammatical abomination.prophetone
- If it makes you all feel better not only am I dyslexic I have OCD and ADHD! This is like the worst combinations of all time ;-)mugwart
- Now now, they're all just silly excuses for being a bit of an idiot really aren't they, let's face it pal. You're an idiot.set

Found out my wireless mouse has an on/off switch on the bottom.
I now turn it off for the night.

I can't figure out how to load my folder of random mp3s downloaded from Napster/etc in Apple Music.
- I had to google how to do that a few months ago but I already forgot.fooler
- File > Import?
Did Match a while back and it fucked up live/studio duplicates. Never went back to clean it up because Apple Music now.ideaist - There is no File > Import.i_monk
- The entire UI seems geared to buying/streaming music online; frustrating.i_monk
- /\ is it even possible to burn a cd anymore?ben_
- Lol, just found that U2 album they pushed on everyone.
File > Add to Library... Fucked up the library I had selected, but whatever...i_monk - Doesn't let you load from within the library sidebar or just drag from Finder... terrible UI.i_monk
- although I am older I made the transition to streaming immediately. It is awesome. Everything is just there...I havent touched an mp3 for years nowdkoblesky
- I haven't really listened to music in years, was just feeling nostalgic for the late-90s/early00s stuff I used to live by.i_monk
- Signs you're getting old: using Apple MusicBaskerviIle
- Step 1: delete your mp3 folder
Step 2: get a Spotify account
Step 3: make a sandwichKrassy - Music streaming services are fucking cancer.face_melter
- I love my old vinyl records and cassette tapes and CDs, but the convenience of streaming music - c'mon now, far from cancer and def better than mp3sKrassy
- Sounds like
Step 1. Dump your car in the lake
Step 2. Rent a car every day to replace iti_monk - Sounds like:
you posted in the correct thread :)Krassy - I have lots of MP3s you can't get on Spotify. Tupelo Honey (album) by Van Morrison for example.sarahfailin
- Yeah I don't use music steaming services, I can see why people like it but I find myself listening to stuff on Soundcloud and YouTube insteadyuekit
- Then just download everything I like using an app. Because while Spotify has a lot of stuff it doesn't have all of the new and random music I want to listen to.yuekit
- Also I never got on board with this idea that you don't own the music, the streaming service does. It's a terrible model for artist, they would much ratheryuekit
- you buy and download their music from a site like Bandcamp, they make almost nothing from Spotify or Apple Musicyuekit
- YouTube & Soundloud are streaming services as well. That's where I go too. I purchase vinyl albums I love and also purchase wavs to support producers.Krassy
- True I guess the difference is they are trying to lock people into this closed ecosystem whereas I see SC as more of a jumping off point to find stuff you mightyuekit
- buy on another site. I haven't seen too many artists with their entire discography on SC. YouTube has a huge amount of music but most of it was just uploadedyuekit
- by random people so it sort of accidentally became a music site.yuekit
- YouTube quality (and pitch shifting) is sometimes dreadful, unfortunatelyKrassy
- @yuekit BTW, I've discovered lots of great music from your posts on here :)Krassy
- Oh yeah for sure it's terrible quality haha. I think what is good about those sites though is that it's more of an open ended creative platform.yuekit
- Like you've probably seen that techno channel HATE right? It started as just some guy uploading tracks (probably not totally legally), now people like Richieyuekit
- Hawtin using it to promote their music. Even though YT owned by Google they took a somewhat more hands off approach.yuekit

Friend just sent a photo of him and myself at what I think was a Jeff Mills gig somewhere around the turn of the millennium.
I have something weird in my mouth, which I presume is something joint-related, not some septic growth.
Anyway, I'm wearing a t-shirt that I literally just had in the last wash. Fucking love that tee.
I realised recently that I've got a good number of t-shirts that are at least 22 years old.
lol- Apparently I had a de-beareded phase.
I don't remember that.
You can tell why.Nairn - lol @ 22 years old tshirt! Tshirt were quality back thenBennn
- My old T's are getting a little tighter these daysfaxion
- Mitsubishi ?

I think this was a couple of years post Mitzies :)Nairn - Yeah you’re cranking.MrT

I tore my lower back intercostals [ rib muscles ] picking up a bucket.
Bloody agony.
- Impressivedrgs
- is the "getting old" part the fact you're specifically referring to the "intercostals" AND also explaining what those are?Krassy

My visa was granted today so I can stay in the overpriced holiday gulag that is Sydney. I said to a few peeps in the office, I'll be chillin' like a resident.
I know it's not comedy gold but blank looks. No one had heard Know How or of Young MC.

Friday is not such a big thing.
- Yep. I'd much rather get up early on Saturday, than stay out on Friday.section_014
- same here. getting wasted on friday to be hung over on saturday is a waste now. saturday and sunday mornings are the best.capn_ron
- Friday is a big thing still! Get to stay up late binge watching Netflix in bed! ha!Krassy
- Yeah, I like to stay up late on Friday playing PS4. Sleeping in on Sat is probably my favorite thing about life. My work day begins at 5am M-F.DRIFTMONKEY
- My son has little league practice on Friday's and game on Saturdays. Friday is just another day.lemmy_k

Nobody on QBN bothers anymore to post the yearly Coachella lineup announcement! haha!
Sings QBN is getting old?
- err, *SignsKrassy
- I had heard of maybe 5 or 6 artists on this years line up and have actually listened to less than that.fooler
- I'm into most of the acts they book, I just absolutely loathe festivals. It's concerts or nothing at all.e-wo
- I use it to find new music lolHijoDMaite
- same ^Krassy
