I think "dislike" threads should also encourage people to talk about who they like. Otherwise it's just a hatefest and it doesn't really go anywhere.

how about a day's profits? okay, a half-day's profits, final offer.

Yes and they also want to dominate the "absolutely everything else" market ; if not now, eventually. If they could just own all the world's data and all the worlds operating systems and all the world's gaming platforms and all the world's everything-else, that would be just ducky, I'm sure.

I enjoy Coldplay as much as most people don't enjoy Coldplay, which is quite a lot considering what I've heard some people say. They have, how shall I put this, "refined their sound" extensively over the past decade. Parachutes, A Rush Of Blood To The Head, X&Y, Viva La Vida: that's a remarkably solid group of albums. And then there's been a string of albums that I admit I enjoy rather less than those. Those younger than me still seem to enjoy them, so they must still be doing something right. So you can call that what you will. I wouldn't call it selling out per se but they certainly have taken a direct route to commercial success and aren't afraid to change with the times.

I went to see the original Pirates Of The Caribbean movie knowing almost nothing about it and having no expectations other than air conditioning and cheap popcorn (a bit of a miracle to begin with). I think one of my friends said they heard good things about it. Turned out to be remarkably fun, so that's a pleasant memory right there.

my first instinct was "oh great another site that makes me create an account" but I have to say that feature-set looks impressive.

Give them time. It takes a while to foster a vibrant community.

definitely Take On Me by a-h_a._
You want a music video? Any music video? One of the best of the 1980s? One of the best of all time? One of the catchiest songs ever? Something that will never go away?
Take On Me.

I was able to subscribe to discussions on Beehaw using Kbin ; I wasn't able to do that using Lemmy, for whatever reason (probably me, but who knows for sure)
Anyway, Kbin works, so I'm using it.

shameless self-promotion : my band The Three Leonards also do covers that re-imagine the song. Our first album starts with a cover of One Headlight and we got some great response to it.
