Not really. Some people think feeding a person is enabling

Brother and I are up shit creek more than we already are if he files for divorce. Mostly my brother because I'm already fucked to hell

It's actually about fighting for no reason other than a bunch of treaties got invoked after a prince was shot

It's your right as a website owner to ruin the website

Good luck with your website that requires a user manual because of the byzantine rules

In the general population of the United States?

Edit: it was dumb to tag you guys. Sorry

It's been about a year since I listened to it. Not a lot is fresh in my mind. But I can't imagine how scary it would be to go to an insular city of nazis

I read an article from the National Review of all places that outlined the charges and a lot of them are based on the mindset of the defendant. In the moment granted but I feel like this is really bad for him. But good for people who don't like vigilante murder

I exaggerated but yeah

Mansquitoes is the obvious answer

I'm pretty sure I'm on your side and I maybe wasn't clear

tacocat  ·  1330 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Suspect Charged With Murder After 2 Shot Dead At Kenosha Protest

He's a 17 year old who crossed state lines to defend buildings with a semi automatic weapon. I have no doubt he wasn't just minding his own business trying to keep people from attacking a grocery store

There's probably multiple people being Q at this point. 8chan guy might be one. Not saying you're wrong because I think you could very well be right

tacocat  ·  1331 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: This year's Russian interference is brought to you by the letter 'Q'

Some rando on Twitter said Q got doxxed and is the owner of 8chan. The new one not the kid in a wheelchair. This makes perfect sense to me and I hope there's validity to this but I haven't found additional sources

I've seen this channel. It's lovely that the dude never judges anyone. I think it's easy for even well meaning people in our society to casually display a lack of sympathy for a person who made mistakes

tacocat  ·  1332 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Long videos don't do well on hubski but I teared up multiple times watching this

Part of the sadness for me was how everyone accepts their lot. There's no reason things can't be better. No good reason at least

I live with a racist homophobic Trump voter in a program for the homeless. We contain multitudes

Your comment about the Germans observing us also has something to do with it

tacocat  ·  1332 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Long videos don't do well on hubski but I teared up multiple times watching this

That sorta pissed me off in a way. Conservatives don't think people can work together and are motivated by greed but their solution to healthcare is things like volunteerism. Make up your damn mind or just admit you hate the poor

Didn’t he remember your name or one of your friends' years after doing some sound work for him? He seems about as grounded as you can be while being insanely wealthy

tacocat  ·  1336 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: I have no desire to reconcile with my father but this song devastates me anyway

Not like a memorable riff but that's about the definition of a pounding one. They should have done something with that

tacocat  ·  1336 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: I have no desire to reconcile with my father but this song devastates me anyway

I'm pretty salty about Born in the USA being a Nebraska track but being turned into a stadium rock anthem. The Nebraska version is objectively superior. If your message gets lost by the addition of synths you fucked up

tacocat  ·  1337 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: I have no desire to reconcile with my father but this song devastates me anyway

He absolutely did that after spending some time in introspection after his success. It's almost pitiful how much I know about Bruce Springsteen's inner life

tacocat  ·  1337 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: I have no desire to reconcile with my father but this song devastates me anyway

Even the story behind it is unbelievable. You recorded it on a four track tape player in your bedroom? Get the fuck out

tacocat  ·  1336 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: I have no desire to reconcile with my father but this song devastates me anyway

I lost a Twitter debate about this article because I approached it from the wrong direction. A bunch of Swifties who couldn't name three Springsteen songs thought they got the better of me after I was unclear about the number of horny boys in his oeuvre. I don't hate Taylor Swift but I hate this article

I was trying to say that you don't understand the material conditions of the lower class but if what you said makes you feel good that's your deal

tacocat  ·  1342 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: In Historic Pick, Joe Biden Taps Kamala Harris To Be His Running Mate

I wish I was privileged enough to be excited about the gender of the person who might cast a tie breaking vote in the senate instead of being worried that vote might limit my food stamp allotment

You run a VC funded startup that might make some millionaires live longer. I am on food stamps because I decided I wanted to be an artist when I was 17. I understand poor people better

I guess there's one in a new book by Michael Cohen but I don't care enough to look into it for the reason you mentioned

He's not even consistent on who gets the payment. I'm not super into arguing for things I basically support by way of political feasibility so I'm not going down that route. I support Yang insofar as he brings some interesting ideas to the fore but dude is just not anywhere near me on the political spectrum

tacocat  ·  1345 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: 'bl00's Reviews: The War on Normal People by Andrew Yang

I'm ambivalent about the guy because he seems squishy about details regarding existing social programs under UBI but the DNC dropped the ball not having him speak next week, as is their tradition when making decisions larger than catering
