It limits you to 12 contacts.

What do I do with the other nine contact spaces?

Yeah, I was trying to be a bit funny. But honestly a hit among the highschool crowd over 20 years ago is exactly what I’d consider a low level performer to be. He plays golf tournaments and community festivals on the strength of an award nomination for a hit? Strong Verve Pipe vibes. https://youtu.be/1umEXpGHc0E

Lemon Pound Cake is new lyrics over top of “Under the Boardwalk”, one of the most important Motown singles ever. That is not the work of a musical innovator.

I’m old. I know of him because of the court case. I have never heard of those songs until then. The clips I see of him performing are at community style events. What’s the saying? “A man is the room he is in?”. I’d say the same thing about Styx (who I saw recently 😄). They had had multiple platinum albums but are now playing casinos in fly-overville.

eta: I just looked him up for real. I was a post-doc when he had his hit. A Grammy nomination 20 years ago. It puts him in the same category as Eddie Blazonczyk’s Versatones who were nominated for their polka hit Live and Kickin’ during the 2002 Grammy’s.

He is a low level entertainer - golf club and non-corporate commercial style work. He is moderately successful. A few years ago the police got a tip that he was dealing weed and was involved in a kidnapping. They raided his home and found nothing. His home security cameras recorded the raid and he turned the raid into music videos that went viral. The police sued him for a bunch of bullshit. The trial was last week and Afroman won the case. The picture is him on the stand. In court.

We don’t usually remember them. We have dream fragments but don’t usually remember entire dreams. And you probably only remember one when you will have 5-7 full dreams a night. You can train yourself to remember if you dream journal ( I did this for a while in my teens) and gave it up.

Number one they weren’t all that interesting in aggregate. Just bizarre and disturbing (most dream content has a negative emotional quality to it). Second you can get really good at remembering them, and it was taking an hour every morning just to write them all down.

I think they are suggesting it does not appear to be drawn by a human.

It would have no effect whatsoever. All of that learning stuff is forebrain function. It’s hard to acquire, and the first thing to go when under stress or intoxicated. People make all kinds of bad decisions when they know better. They splurge on vacations when they are already paying interest on credit card balances. They sleep with strangers while they want to keep a stable home life. They buy too much car or spend to much on clothes for little hits of feel good when they would be better off saving money.

Knowing something doesn’t equate to action. And the impulse to gamble can easily over ride some school lesson on poor odds of winning.
