I wonder if they’re a publicly traded company. Given the choice between this company trying to compete in the marketplace against Apple versus a guaranteed revenue stream from licensing and royalty fees (and likely a lucrative one at that), I’m pretty sure I know which the shareholders would pick. If this company ends up doing the former and going under, I can just smell the shareholder lawsuit that would ensue.

At least the NYT came up with an accurate headline this time.

The Wang Gang strikes again!

Very disappointing not to see an #if 0 (my personal go-to for decades) in this meme. 😞

I am also interested in the answer to this and which service the author is using.

No way these motherfuckers are uncircumcised.

This is fantastic work, and anybody who downvoted this clearly did not get it.

Quick, someone should ask President Dukakis how he felt about the polls, putting him 15 points up on George H.W. Bush in the summer of '88.

You mean like a politician should do?

This is good too.

I thought OP was looking for minced oaths that could be used in its place, and this is the first thing that came to mind for me. I use this one all the time because I try not to drop the big one around my five- and three-year-olds.

This is one of the stupidest things I’ve seen online in a very long time, and of course I laughed for a solid minute. Well done, OP.

I’m not super familiar with a lot of 3EB’s work, but I do like “How’s It Gonna Be”, and you’re absolutely right, they lean on that third pretty hard as a melodic element. The third tends to be sung a lot against the ii in that particular song (so yielding a ii9), but when they do use the IV, I notice the melody will often do the same, and it serves as kind of a tension breaker given how much emphasis is given to the third against the other chords leading up to the IV. The bass line is also great in this song, not just using the root of the chord, but different degrees and transitions between them for interest. That said, I can’t speak to the rest of their catalogue.
