used to live in bristol when I lived in the UK and this does not surprise me one bit

I feel like a single bite of this would almost literally kill me. With that being said it sounds tasty as fuck.

I watched it last night with my roommates and it was harrowing. When Frank Sinatra started blaring throughout the streets with this flashy display going on while basically no one was there to watch it felt fucking apocalyptic.

I thought the writing was hysterical but the actual game play seemed pretty boring, haven't bought the game but would love to hear your thoughts on it

Yes they will

My parents (and my girlfriend's parents even moreso, coincidentally) are like this. Their life didn't change a single bit, and yet Trump doing much the same that Obama did (and even worse in many cases) didn't offend them one bit. They don't care. They hate him because he's loud and obnoxious and Orange like a FREAKING :cheeto:HEETO IN THE :cheeto:HIEF

I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that banning @TransComrade69 for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this @TransComrade69 is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.

You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the @TransComrade69 and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and @TransComrade69 is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find @TransComrade69 banned for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.

You're better off keeping it that way. Twitter can be fun but is ultimately the worst website I've ever been on. Absolutely nuclear levels of stupid on there.

As an audio engineer I can say that XLR cable ties are waaaay better for managing tons of wires and much easier if/when you need to rearrange them. Zip ties are annoying because you can only use them once and you have to throw them away and use a new one if you need to change stuff.

TROTUS (derogatory)

Same here. Once the chapo sub was banned I nuked my account and started fresh with one that basically subscribes to like 6 subs which are all just niche interests that have the strongest communities online for the stuff I like looking at. Aside from that I haven't actively browsed it in months.

This is how I feel. I open up twitter and my day is immediately ruined. I open up reddit and I see bisexual pride stuff and plants and analogue photography. Twitter forces me to see stuff I actively try to avoid, at least with reddit there's some amount of control.

It's still fuck both of em though

New Yorkers would defend the subway station saying it's what gives the city Character™

I mean I don't disagree with his take on music as a whole (specifically about how TTET is seen as not only the standard but the rule for western music, which is bad) but he also didn't live long enough to see how wildly freeform jazz became after 1957-ish and into the 60s. Artists like Don Cherry, Albert Ayler, Pharoah Sanders, The Art Ensemble of Chicago, etc. all made some pretty groundbreaking music. Not to mention Sun Ra making some of the weirdest most freeform microtonal jazz even back in the 40s.

Maybe I'm too stupid to understand his point and I don't necessarily disagree about popular jazz through the 40s being stupid but a lot of the best jazz ignores classical western conventions which is good IMO.

Reminds me of the chapter in Marabou Stork Nightmares where Roy talks about his family moving to South Africa after his dad ends up believing this very thing

I am a single issue voter and my cause is defending jazz from liberals who make fun of me for liking it

Literally just Felix's recent bit about Crenshaw-types starting coffee companies that put pieces of pork and shredded bits of the Quran in their coffee to offend the Muslims who "definitely know about our company"

Based Ball Bat

I mean I know a ton of the stuff that John Oliver does is performative and his jokes can be annoying but he at least has a competent research team and is able to present things in a way that makes sense to people who are either politically disengaged or who are on the fence about a lot of stuff. Bill Maher is just a dick

Sounds worth it
