Wow, fuck that guy, seriously. I, on the other hand, parked in short term parking at Newark last time I had to travel for work. I was really proud to expense that $370 parking charge.

That kinda stuff happens all the time. Happened a few times when I was living in a townhouse development in NJ 2011.

I'm not trying to take the piss or anything but sincerely asking how much of this was due to Biden and how much was due to a competent administration / cabinet / advisors / etc. I get what we're up against with orange T, that backing his challenger is important and the situation is different because we have a 1-term incumbent and so forth... Even if the answer is that a lot of it was due to the administration, that's still not a reason to vote against Biden, just want to be clear and honest about all this.

They played three new songs, pretty good stuff. There's a decent recording of one of the few shows they played this week.

Nice! I was lucky enough to see them twice in 2022 and once in 2023. Always a great show. Their projectionist is throwing some great stuff up there.

I think the really hardcore Trumpers don't think he is being disruptive in a "benevolent" way. They hate the system and don't care if it is damaged. This voting bloc likely has never or rarely voted in the past, which is why the polling missed them in 2016. I think it's important to say that a lot of these people want to change what they see as "the system" and they don't care if it is done in a violent way. See Jan 6th. Again, I don't think these people feel tricked. As far as they see it, just by fucking with the system like he is and will continue to do, he is fighting for them. Doesn't matter that he's a billionaire. Doesn't matter what he says about them. Doesn't matter if his policies directly benefit or hurt them in the immediate term. If he's helping to destroy the system, he's for them.

GYBE is touring Europe twice in 2024, and they're playing a handful of dates in the NE USA right now. Supposedly they are playing 3 new songs. I'm going to see them tonight in Delaware. https://cstrecords.com/pages/godspeed-you-black-emperor 24 Feb 2024 - New York, NY @Outline at Knockdown Center (with Alan Sparhawk, Marina Herlop and Maria BC) 25 Feb 2024 - Wilmington, DE @Arden Gild Hall (with Mat Ball) 26 Feb 2024 - Homer, NY @Homer Center for the Arts (with Mat Ball) 27 Feb 2024 - Oshawa, ON @Biltmore Theatre (with Mat Ball) 28 Feb 2024 - Kingston, ON @Grand Theatre (with Mat Ball) 07 Mar 2024 - Mexico City, MX @Pitchfork Music Festival CDMX 10 Apr 2024 - Tampere, FI @Pakkahuone 11 Apr 2024 - Tallinn, EE @Kultuurivabrik 12 Apr 2024 - Riga, LV @Hanzas Perons 13 Apr 2024 - Vilnius, LT @Loftas 14 Apr 2024 - Warsaw, PL @Progresja 16 Apr 2024 - Gdansk, PL @B90 17 Apr 2024 - Kraków, PL @Kamienna 12 18 Apr 2024 - Bratislava, SK @Majestic Music Club 19 Apr 2024 - Prague, CZ @Meet Factory 20 Apr 2024 - Vienna, AT @Arena 21 Apr 2024 - Budapest, HU @Dürer Kert 23 Apr 2024 - Zagreb, HR @Tvornica Culture 24 Apr 2024 - Graz, AT @Dom Im Berg 25 Apr 2024 - Ljubljana, SI @Kino Siska 27 Sep 2024 - Dublin, IE @National Stadium 29 Sep 2024 - London, UK @Troxy 30 Sep 2024 - Glasgow, UK @Barrowlands 01 Oct 2024 - Manchester, UK @Ritz 02 Oct 2024 - Bristol, UK @Marble Factory 03 Oct 2024 - Coventry, UK @The Empire 04 Oct 2024 - Tourcoing, FR @Le Grand Mix 05 Oct 2024 - Esch-Alzette, LU @Kufa 06 Oct 2024 - Paris, FR @Le Trianon 08 Oct 2024 - Nantes, FR @Stereolux 09 Oct 2024 - Nancy, FR @L'Autre Canal (Jazz Pulsation Festival) 10 Oct 2024 - Zürich, CH @Volkshaus 11 Oct 2024 - Lausanne, CH @Les Docks 12 Oct 2024 - Frankfurt, DE @Zoom 14 Oct 2024 - Berlin, DE @Huxleys 15 Oct 2024 - Amsterdam, NE @Paradiso 16 Oct 2024 - Brussels, BE @AB 18 Oct 2024 - Athens, GR @Floyd

I think what Satans Little Helper is saying is that it seems like the lion's share of Trump voters don't care about facts. They don't care about what's true and what's not true. Your dismantling argument would have almost no effect on them. IMO, hardcore Trumpers are deeply selfish, first and foremost. My theory that conservatism is built on the bedrock of selfishness stands beside this, but these people are selfish to the n-th degree. Many of them also feel they have been screwed by the system. They are low-income earners, and they blame their lot in life on "the system". Then someone charismatic comes along who is truly outside that system. Sure, your argument does show how, technically, Trump is not an "outsider" by some metrics, but you have to admit he is an outsider in that he is playing the game his way. His voters don't care what way that is or how he does it, they just care that someone is screwing with the system in ways that are novel. And they will support that no matter what. They will disregard facts (easy for deeply selfish people), and vote for him just to fuck with the rest of us who are trying to play the game within the previously established rules. It probably wouldn't matter if it was someone other than Trump, as long as it was a super-charismatic leader who does nearly everything in a selfish way while fucking with the system his/her own way. Try and get into the mindset of someone like this, someone who is supremely selfish and feels like they have been screwed / held down by the system. Then read your argument back to yourself. Has almost no effect. All they care about is that someone who acts / feels like they do (or like they aspire to) is getting into power and screwing with a system that they despise.

I'm surprised it's taken KenTacoHut this long to do something like this. Why not go balls to the wall and stuff that shiz inside a taco or gordita shell?

Yeah they totally needed to hone their focus a bit and choose one or perhaps 1.5 main struggles, but instead we got like 4 protagonist / antagonist struggles, all half-baked and ALL revealed in the final episode. Calling back to S1, sometimes less is more.

Mostly agree with all of this, and furthermore I have 3 gripes about the reveals in the finale:

I'm waiting for a hot-dogging spree...

My wife went through medical menopause at 28, so I honestly don't even remember what that was like.

Wait wait, is this a plot hole on True Detective S4?

lol

Depends on the age / maturity level of the woman. Less age / maturity generally means they just wanna have fun (like men generally do at any age / maturity level ). Next phase is they're probably looking for a "project", i.e., a bad boy who every girl wants, but they themselves want to be the one for whom this bad boy will change. (Of course these are gross generalizations but are probably more common at younger ages.) If you're talking real, serious relationships, then you got a lot of the points. Of course it depends on the woman on order of importance, but in my experience: Be honest, don't lie about anything even if it is stupid and mundane (guys, you're not as convincing a liar as you think you are; she can often see right through you) Losing trustworthiness / credibility by lying even about stupid stuff is a cancer in a relationship If she calls you out for acting stupid or doing something that was objectively wrong, swallow your pride, immediately own it, and apologize Communicate your feelings as soon as you realize them and have honest conversations about both of your feelings toward important things If you are having an issue with her, don't wait to have an honest conversation at an appropriate time, don't let things fester; and let her know that you want her to do the same Listen when she's talking and internalize, don't be afraid to ask for clarification if her feelings are not clear to you (they often aren't clear to me ) Do things that make her feel loved and important, even little things can go a long way here Always putting effort into the relationship is very important, especially after marriage Devote a fair amount of time to doing things that she likes, and hopefully she'll do the same for you (I don't know how many times my wife has gone with me to shows even though she doesn't really care about music that much) Take care of yourself, physically and emotionally; nobody wants to be with someone who is a mess In the bedroom, don't be selfish. Either read her cues if you have that ability or just ask her what she likes. If she's a good partner, there will be times when she gets to be selfish in the bedroom and times when you get to be selfish (all within your respective boundaries) and times where it works out for both of you, hopefully all relatively balanced.

Executive producer credits don't necessarily mean that the person has anything to do with the show currently. They could just be creators, financial backers, or could have written something that the current show borrows heavily from or is inspired by.

I've found myself rooting against the Chiefs (with whom I previously had no beef) just for wanting to avoid being bombarded by shots / mentions of Taylor Swift during every fucking game. The super bowl is going to be more insufferable than usual by at least an order of magnitude.

That's a lot of cosmic assholes.

Yeah for anyone interested in that "new Tesla model", you might wanna wait a model year or two. The Model 3s are just now starting to come out consistently at acceptable quality, inherent faults with "gigacasted" parts notwithstanding.

Agree. I just found those albums and love them all.

I guess this could be considered vaporwave? https://ojerasdedamita.bandcamp.com/album/withered-roses-for-eternal-lovers
