Oh, I didn’t mean the content, I meant the purpose of it. In my experience, it wasn’t just about testing the interviewees, it implies having to ‘sell’ the company as well, to give the interviewees reasons to want to be hired. That’s the bit which generated the guilt.

Having to hold interviews was the worst part of the job, by far… Brings about a certain kind of guilt, to sit there and try to sell battery acid as ice-cold lemonade.

Well, to be fair, the whole thing has become a sick joke, although nobody’s laughing anymore…

The freest speech of all!

Well, found the one downside to not knowing what day it is, thank you!

What the actual fuck… Really? Fucking really, MatchGroup?!

Yyyep, that sounds pretty standard fare (no pun intended), I’ve lived mostly in abstract neighborhoods in terms of infrastructure and had to chase rides in a grand majority of cases.

Plus, honestly, even the way it handled the construction jam sounds acceptable, reminds me of my first days of learning to drive. As long as they stop and stay stopped, that’s way better than deciding to ignore the sensor data and just go for it, like… some other models…

Genuinely a relief to hear, thank you!

As snarky as my initial comment may sound (even to me, I have by-proxy distrust of contemporary models due to their knobhead owners), I’m genuinely glad to hear they figured that one out! At least there’s less danger for everyone around, at the VERY least.

Suh-NAP!

How are they with parking lots, tho’?

You’re very welcome! Word of warning, though, the rest of their stuff varies greatly. They do have a couple of songs I like a ot though!

In addition, if you’re looing for something similar to this song in particular, I recommend checking out Subcarpați - Pe Deal, În Văi, for instance. They follow that dark, heavy beat and the trippy progressions closer than most of everything else produced by Șuie. They also base a lot of their lyrics, structures and sampling on folkloric music from around our parts, can find something from each region!

This one’s back from 2003, Șuie Paparude were the most innovative Electronica act in Romania at the time (and for many years after, tbh!)

As for the message, it’s basically a highly articulated jumble of metaphors and Cool technobabble expressing a general sense of “lose yourself with us, ours is next-level shit.”

I’ve attempted a very, very rough translation below - started with an automated translation which I’ve edited for accuracy and tried to account for language-specific idioms, so it’s close-ish, sorta’:

“Level I is passed from the start The starting block’s only for those who dedicate themselves to a new wave Digital, transient-ambient, vibrato-fatal For those who do not have mental agreement With two-zero-zero-three subliminal Come here so I can teach you not to forget To differentiate between sitting and participating To what, to what is heard, to Paparude, to Șuie His is the sound that forms the soul from white to black From white to integral, integral or better said Ready for a dream a bit too real, not at all subliminal Nothing is accidental, it’s a digital exercise Eloquent, insane, super-elastic Straight from the world of music drawn on plastic. Straight from the world of music written on plastic Junkyard and Șuie intervene technico-tactically You have 10 seconds to start moving If you don’t do that, it’ll suck for us. Straight from the world of music written on plastic Junkyard and Șuie intervene technico-tactically You have 10 seconds to start moving If you don’t do it today, it’ll suck tomorrow.”

For further context, Junkyard’s the dude providing the vocals, and Șuie’s the dude who does the track.

Heh, sounds like what one of my exes used to do when she wanted some alone time, she’d throw me an informational rabbit hole and let me dive right in it for a couple of hours=)))
