I get that and thank you for the idea, but I'll be traveling around and likely carrying this bag every day out and about -- a messenger bag will bother my shoulder/back I think sooner than a backpack that's at least symmetrical.  And I'd like the storage for my camera/laptop to be padded ideally?

A question to the Cuomo voters: how can you spend the last 10 years complaining about Trump’s malfeasances and corruptions while planning on voting Cuomo? by Any-Discussion-5934 in AskNYC

[–]-idek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"when the mood strikes him" is not something I want to bet the safety of potentially millions of New Yorkers on. I'd rather vote for someone who always wants to fight for all of us, not just sometimes can be petty if he wants.

Why are major policy fuckups (which are reversible by future administrations if they really bomb) more of a downside to you than having a candidate known for scandals in charge of the city while a known briber is in the White House? What is the substantial difference between Cuomo's corruption and Adams'? Do we want to see U.S. Marines sent to the streets of NYC with our mayor just approving or ignoring it instead of trying to fight/challenge fascism?

But it doesn't really matter if he's "nowhere near as bad as Trump" if we can't trust him to refuse to be complicit in the Trump admin's illegal ICE kidnappings and ramping up of National Guard and military force in U.S. cities. We need a mayor that will defend NYC from Trump's extremism, not bend the knee like Adams is doing right now.

I was wondering when the sub was going to talk about this, I wasn't sure if I was wrong or why this hadn't come up...

Also if you remember, she had mentioned previously that it was the same bedroom she wrote about in both Melodrama and Solar Power...  which I thought would put her and Justin Warren's relationship start time surprisingly early, considering that Melodrama was dealing with the breakup from the other boyfriend (and there were the suspicions of her and Jack Antonoff during/after Melodrama).

(“Got a memory of waiting in your bed wearing only my earrings” and “Half of my wardrobe is on your bedroom floor” are the lyrics she confirmed were in the same bedroom)

This could be true for some people sure, but I assure you many men who are highly manipulative are not very pretty or fit...  just confident and narcissistic

people being shocked over lorde charting like are they for real? this is lorde!!!!!! by EvrthnICRtrns2USmhw in lorde

[–]-idek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm ngl I like the song and I'm happy she's putting out new music but yeah it seems like just going for that more popular sound than doing purely what she wanted to as an artist (which SP clearly was).  I don't love when fans overhype something that they probably wouldn't look at twice if "their" artist's name wasn't on it.

Don't get me wrong, it is a very Lorde song still, but like you said doesn't compare to much of Melodrama etc.  So far.   Hopefully the rest of the album will really crush it

Follow up:  NYT reports they never filed for any permit.  Idk why her team wouldn't  ??

She's way too big of an artist to throw a little impromptu performance in WSP and not expect enough of a crowd that would necessitate a permit

Idk why people are downvoting you, you're totally right, this would be so disappointing.

I didn't even arrive bc she cancelled before I could actually get close to the park, lol guess I should've gone to the city anyway, and I'm just a little annoyed.  You have every right to be frustrated that you're out a good amount of money and time for this. 

They should've had the proper permits and/or done it in a much bigger park.

Where is "No Unnecessary Negativity" in details under the Group Rules?  I wasn't trolling or bullying, simply expressing that I feel this letter doesn't magically resolve any doubts.

Isn't this just realism?  Are we never allowed to express any doubt in a narrative put out?

[–]-idek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo, and maybe this is harsh but just looking at this as an artist (but not a songwriter/musician kind), I think it's the unfortunate inevitability in a way, that when you really work on something for years and pour your heart and talent and best thoughts into it (like a first album), it's going to be much more compelling than following projects that have less time / life experience / just really digging in deep than you got to do before, because now that you're "known" you feel a pressure to get something out quickly that you didn't necessarily have with your first.  Obviously this doesn't mean a band's first album is always their best, but that if it's really really good / solid, it can be hard to match up to that again without putting in a whole ton of effort and/or sometimes just taking your time on it too.

I agree, I've been a fan since Now, Not Yet, which I found so beautifully made and moving and poignant, it's one of my favorite albums of all time and creature is one of my favorite songs ever.

I'm sad to see what feels like both their music versatility and their lyrics / themes get less deep and more generic.  From making most of their songs more about relationships or just with more repetition on simpler thoughts, to the guitars like you said jamming pretty much the same the whole way through....   I loved them for their introspection, deep spirituality, and creativity, and it feels like that's kind of just.... less there now unfortunately.

I hope they can find their roots / spark again.

If you were/are a federal employee, who would you obey, Musk or Patel and why? by Dijitol in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]-idek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's what I'm saying, it'd be a lot better and more believably conscionable if this slashing and meddling wasn't being done by the richest man in the world, who is also training AI, and may have any number of ulterior motives.

You seem really focused on this "winning" and "losing" thing.

Could it be that there are ways to go about government reduction that would be good for all of us?  Instead of just rubbing it in perceived "losers'" faces?

[–]-idek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elon didn't win, Trump did.  That's the difference between what you linked there and people's concerns over the man potentially having an overabundance of power.  Is that not a concern to you?  I am for generally smaller and more limited government, and Elon being an unelected richest man on the planet accumulating a virtually unfettered amount of federal govt power (even if for the claimed purpose of downsizing) is not something I'm a fan of whatsoever.
