@el_redd @balancedoutt @uncledoomer Yeah that was interesting I’ll try to listen to more to get a better feel for it. Not against the genre or anything just not really my thing usually.

@NorthFultonJP @balancedoutt @uncledoomer Understood. Sturgill plays a little of everything tho. Check out sound and fury album

@meeralSnakbar @EiratheIntern Also I think everyone figured out that you can stage a massive protest that fills the streets with a number of people that is electorally insignificant.
English
@EiratheIntern It's harder to get the average adult to go outside to do *anything*, political or not. Apathy and learned helplessness also has a role.
English
People are misunderstanding the reason why mass protest worked in the past, why it became less effective, and what purpose it has now.
Benjamin Kunkel@kunktation
The absence of huge antiwar protests from the US probably deserves to be placed in this context

@balancedoutt @uncledoomer I haven’t had any luck with this unfortunately. Back in the day we used to have a lot more confident snobs who could recommend things that were objectively good.
English
@NorthFultonJP @uncledoomer It is entirely subjective for what is good but if you know what genres you like you can simply explore those genres through the streaming service of your choice and find tons of good stuff.
English
@ghosttown2026 @lfitzmaurice I listened to a few songs and imo Geese sounds like AI slop.
English
@lfitzmaurice They are like a unicorn but it’s up to the stupid music industry taking a break from AI slop and investing in other good indie bands and artists like Geese
English
Very funny how people endlessly theorize over the popularity of Geese, a band whose appeal is so mind-numbingly obvious that every time a music writer over 30 tries to "explain" them it comes across as a humiliation ritual
English
@balancedoutt @uncledoomer What’s good then? I find that despite the increased availability it’s difficult to find good stuff since there’s so much bad stuff crowding it out.
English
@uncledoomer you have to be beyond retarded to think music is bad right now. its easier than ever for good artists to distrubute their music. worst take ive seen on this account
English
@sacklunchfan @iJordanMoore You’re right. Lucky hits happen in baseball all the time. There’s an ok chance that someone gets lucky once in 100 tries.
English
@iJordanMoore 300 swings. Not one makes contact and drops for a single?. You’re saying no person would ever get a hit? Bullshit
English
It’s so funny when people ask a normal everyday person — “if you had 100 at bats in the majors, how many hits would you get?”
The answer is zero.
English
@ChicSheri @gkneuman @ResistWire All of these concerns are fake. It’s just like the water on fire from fracking or WMDs in Iraq. You’ve been duped I’m afraid.
English
@NorthFultonJP @gkneuman @ResistWire It is harming communities with:
1. Noise Pollution
2. Excessive Water Consumption
3. Raised Electric Bills
4. Pollution
I could go on and on. You could've just Googled this.

BREAKING: 13 shots fired into home of Indianapolis councilor; note reading “No data centers” left at scene.

@xLeslieErin @SamAdlerBell Small towns and cities have the same two cultural pillars: drinking and complaining about people who aren’t from here.
English
@SamAdlerBell Small town culture: Let's all get together on the porch, drink beer and eat apples that fell from the tree while we watch the kids do cartwheels on the lawn.
City culture: let's all dress fancy and get together and drink champagne while watching scripted performers on a stage.
English
There is culture in small towns. Where I grew up, we had a drinking spot in the woods called “The Falls,” which I assumed, before going there, must be near a waterfall, but actually it was just near a small cliff, next to which was a sign that said “the falls” with a bunch of tally marks
Basil🧡@LinkofSunshine
Small towns are almost complete devoid of culture because everyone interested in culture inevitably moved to a big city
English
@ChicSheri @gkneuman @ResistWire It’s not harming any communities in any way. This is a stupid satanic panic like when a bunch of parents in the 90s thought Pokémon was causing demon possession.
English
@gkneuman @ResistWire They’re talking about the ones that are coming now allegedly bc of generative AI. It’s harming communities and ppl literally cannot take it anymore, especially in this economy.
English
@rakeau @theSurlyBiker If cars had been invented before trains no one would have ever built a train.
English
@theSurlyBiker Perhaps, but that’s because:
1. It was available to cars prior to being taken away
2. Drivers are more heavily taxed and end up subsidising a reduction of infrastructure, which makes no sense
3. Riders don’t use them and keep using the fucking roads anyway.
English
People who equate car ownership with freedom are hilarious.
They forget all the costs associated w/ cars: insurance, maintenance, repairs, registration, personal property taxes…
But don’t equate the freedom to chose your method of mobility (bike, car, bus, train) with “freedom”
Aruma@ammnza
@theSurlyBiker America is about freedom and freedom involved not relying on public transport
English
@NorthFultonJP @Dlea100 @berkie1 A. For a clientele who all own cars and drives everywhere. B. With full parking capacity. Now, I don't think it takes a genius that A is obviously not the case for foreign visitors, particularly from European nations, and B isn't true from the first tweet in the thread.
English
The World Cup is being played in many North American stadiums designed for cars.
Take away 50-75% of parking for FIFA ops & security buffers & you're asking underfunded transit systems to plug the hole with a 5-10x increase in ridership with limited infrastructure & no FIFA $$$.
English
@NorthFultonJP @berkie1 You both completely fail to understand how football works in every other country, absolutely no cunt cares about a shopping centre next to a football stadium, we want a pint, then transport to the ground and arrive 5/10mins before the game kicks off
English
@berkie1 Then its simply not fit for purpose to hold a major international competition, especially one around a sport that goes hand in hand with public transport to get to venues
English
@expert_frowner Prince sounds the best when the air is crisp do you know any seasons at all

@NorthFultonJP why are you talking about them like they're Prince lol get a grip

The Strokes are fundamentally not a summer band. Like they just are not.

@aGuyOnMyPhone @morallawwithin Complaining that it uses too much electricity is a solvable problem. They want an unsolvable problem.
English
@morallawwithin It’s such an annoying myth too because like, ai doesn’t use a ton of water but you know what it does use? Electricity! A lot of it! Like a LOT! That’s a big deal! Do we not care about carbon emissions and climate change anymore? Why are we making stuff up?
English
i don’t get it, if they dislike wasting water so much, shouldn’t it make them happy to find out AI isn’t wasting a bunch of water?
Andy Masley@AndyMasley
The decline in couple formation seems to be explained in part by confusion about how much water AI uses. Got these messages from 2 different people in 24 hours
English
@expert_frowner The strokes music sounds the best when it’s so hot that you’re sweating through your clothes at midnight. Maybe you just don’t know summer.
English
Some of yall responding from cities without seasons. I need not hear from someone where you wear the same clothes in January and July.

@PatchBandana @ww2enjoyer @eris_nerung You have to understand that when you are paying for a service you are the employer

@danceyrselfdean @yaynarcissism They sound like a “what Cake sounds like to people who hate Cake” joke video on IG.
English
@yaynarcissism I've seen like three clips from this band now. they're all just ungodly bad. I don't understand how they played KEXP. it sounds like fake music for instagram reels
English
nah I think people just watched the video with sound on for five seconds
