The answer is money and eliminating competition for money

It’s an awareness thing. Everyone uses it because everyone else uses it, because it’s the main one people know about, because Meta has unlimited money to market it and scale it, which are exorbitantly expensive.

I think it’s an honest question, which is a respectful thing to ask if you don’t know. I myself haven’t been sure, because I’ve heard it pronounced multiple different ways even by news pundits.

My first concert ever was Fall Out Boy in 2006, when I was 16 years old. I saw them again this year, 18 years later. The time between those 2 shows was longer than the time between my birth and the first show, and to me it felt like only a few years had gone by. The next time I blink I’ll be 50.

One of the first times I smoked weed I did it wrong and swallowed a bunch of smoke. I proceeded to get sick in the back seat of my friend’s car and started believing that my windpipe was made out of glass and if I turned my head it would shatter and slice my throat open. I still think about it sometimes, never knew it had a name!

Yep and I like to read the lyrics and any additional content or art that comes with the album while I listen to it. I also like that it forces me to not skip any songs, as when I stream stuff I tend to skip even some good songs in order to get to my favorites faster. The sound quality isn’t really the point for me with vinyl, it’s more about immersing myself with the album and enjoying it like a movie.
