  1. I don’t know how many times I heard Punk Rock Girl before it even clicked that California Dreamin isn’t even a Beach Boys song.
  2. I don't know if I've ever seen one of those red or green tolex cases beat to shit, but I bet they look awesome and rate up there with the #1 case, the genuine relic'd tweed case.
  3. ok so clearly the blocking feature is somehow expensive/causes resource problems, Elon stupidly thinks he can solve that problem by just removing the feature, and that is why they are now trying to say that akshually you don't need basic functionality
  4. I fucking loved it. Nolej. Daddy Gimermo. Between you and me, shoot that one first. Cool teacher Colin’s Hamlet slam poetry. There were so many things going on in this episode and almost nothing happened. The Guillermo animals cracked me up
  5. I am confused now - are you actually saying that this is what he is saying? It looks like he is saying "blocking accounts is going to be removed as a feature because it does not make sense (except for DMs)."
  6. can anyone offer an explanation for this other than he doesn't like that everyone blocks him? wtf? it's such a basic feature - is there more context behind his comment that it "doesn't make sense" that helps understand what he might be saying that isn't mind bogglingly stupid?
  7. "the president doesn't matter and you should just turn off the news" is a breathtakingly stupid take even when considering that it's entirely about justifying head in the sand behavior caused by an inability to reconcile the cognitive dissonance caused by being indefensibly wrong
  8. not if Trump's legal team gets their way https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/17/us/trump-jan-6-trial-date-proposal.html sounds compelling
  9. uh there's basically no choice but to listen to some goldfinger bud
  10. this feels like probably the most appropriate thread for songwriting discussion I've never been a lyrics guy. Polish lyrics, workshop lyrics, sure. Write lyrics out of whole cloth? Every night I'm cranking out a few little guitar hooks and yeah it's a lot of G C D Em Bm etc but it's some stuff and I like some of it. I've got a general idea of a thing to write about based on the prompt (and actually some discussion on this board) and one line for the chorus but.... how's it going for y'all? or is this a fight club scenario?
  11. A girl touched my penis and just like that I never listened to Reel Big Fish again.
  12. similarish for the '90s (and yeah not quite for this thread) i still have a crush on Dolores O'Riordan's voice. Tough couple of years for female Irish singers.
  13. it's been a minute - I guess the snot boogie murder that opens the episode is unconnected to the kid that D killed that has him on trial for murder in the next scene?
  14. there's an interesting dynamic with Frank where he is corrupt/chaotic AF dealing outside of the union, but is lawful or adherent to the values and tenets of the union. Which to him includes fucking with the cops, doing shady deals to advance the union interests, even doing a little shady within the politics of the union so that he can finish doing his good union dirt, etc. But I think it is highly consistent for his character to be making Nicky and Ziggy sink or swim. Probably a tighter and more accurate way to describe my thoughts. You went ahead and disagreed with yourself but I'm going to jump on board with your disagreement about the morally ambiguous characters - you would have a way shorter list if you named the morally unambiguous characters from the show, cop or otherwise. And on that list, I think you'd only have morally negative characters and probably one of them would be Rawls? Rawls and Marlo? Does Snoop have any good to her? Wee Bey and Chris Partlow are some of the most brutal characters on the show and they are demonstrated as having some kind of good. Season 1 Episode 1 Scene 1 of the show is the crime scene where D murdered Snot Boogie. Actually really the thing where I think I'm disagreeing with your premise is that Frank is even painted as a "bad guy". Although even with that..... is Avon even actually a "bad guy"? Or Stringer, in seasons 1 and 2? For sure they are criming and murdering, but it's kinda within the rules of their world and maybe that's a big part of the show. The Sopranos juxtaposed two sides of Tony - he's a crime lord out there, he's a suburban family man in here. A big part of what makes The Wire great is that it takes that concept deeper - these are street junkies and criminals and they are also humans dealing with the same kinds of problems every human does.
  15. If you reached “GOP!” at the end of the best cold rational pragmatic thinking your brain can muster, you’re even stupider than the average Republican who got there by being a big pussy.
  16. Finally saw some of the Oliver Anthony discourse on social media and got thrown on a Bottle Rockets stroll I’m so curious what the thought process was with this song - let’s see if we can do 5 second verses and play the chorus 8 times in the first 90 seconds. I like the song, it’s just so fast to throw out the chorus
  17. i spent quite a bit of time with/around them right before they had a hit with this and it was difficult to not creep on the I believe underage singer
