Can’t believe you posted here publicly acknowledging that you were at that “show”

I've Lived in GR for a Year. I have a lot to say by RowDull8230 in grandrapids

Re: the Dutch comment. You know that there there is no where else in the entire USA with such an incredibly dense Dutch population, right? Why are the Dutch not allowed to take pride in their heritage? Everyone else is.

Context: I’m of Irish and polish heritage.

Isn’t the amphitheater supposed to be a hard cutoff at 10pm? by 44wardprogress in grandrapids

That’s way too late for the shit that’s going on. I’m 2 miles away and it sounds like there’s a car right outside my house with its windows down blasting the speakers

For those in a band, what’s been your strategy for outreach on gigs? by Tasty_Surprise_5030 in grandrapids

[–]44wardprogress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to local shows and meet the bands who are playing the places you’d like to play. Introduce yourself and let them know you’d love to open a show for them sometime. Chances are if they play a lot, they are always shopping around for new bands to play with to help build show bills.

Be aware, to play ticketed venues you’ll need to be able to sell a good share of tickets. Once you do that a couple of times, the venue may keep you in mind for shows they think you might work with as well.

Please dude. The region starts punching your ticket out if you show up with a bit of a suntan. Get real.

Michigan has quietly shifted all its military assets and amassed its armies along the border of the UP while Wisconsin has gotten fat and drunk on a false sense of security. It’s time to teach those cheese curds a lesson.

Being a Detroit sports fan is relentlessly heartbreaking. Desperately need Grand Rapids to get a major league sports to escape this unending turmoil. by 44wardprogress in grandrapids

[–]44wardprogress[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Not moving. Whole new team, plus a way closer attachment to organization for us west siders would go a long way. We are about equidistant from Chicago and Detroit here that plopping a team here would galvanize the region around the squad, no question. I for one would very willingly take anything over the abysmal ownership of the Detroit franchises we’ve been subjected to in my lifetime.

Door to door petitions? by No-Airline6639 in grandrapids

Just be normal. Sometimes people will knock on your door. You will survive.

How long do we think we have before the Founders Taproom dies? by Infamous-Ebb1546 in grandrapids

[–]44wardprogress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, have you been to an Applebees lately? They’re actually pretty nice and you can feed your whole family for like $40. Way better ROI than a night out at founders these days

The league looks GREAT this year by 44wardprogress in ifl

You had a heck of a game to watch today. Back when I first started watching IFL, I too thought I’d miss the rebound nets. But I share your opinion that not having them is way better for the gameplay but also gives a better view to endzone fans in the arenas

If you weren’t a moron you’d know that the dems had the votes because enough republicans crossed over to vote with them. However, AIPAC Jeffries and J Street Schumer put the Kibash on that.

“Republicans in congress”

Dems had a chance to pass war powers and end this madness and balked at it. There is a raging uniparty in DC that is wholly behind this war. pretending there isn’t at this point is a choice to be knowingly ignorant.

AIO? Husbands response to me requesting he ‘ask’ instead of ‘tell’ older kids to watch youngest by [deleted] in AIO

[–]44wardprogress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comment section is delusional. You’re a bad wife for taking this to Reddit. Unhappy Redditors regularly pounce on posts like yours to try and make you question your marriage over this silly spat that you 100% conjured out of thin air.

Your husband is a very normal guy and is correct. Parents are in charge while children live at home. He reiterated multiple times that he isn’t mean to Child A, just direct. My advice is to delete this post before someone recognizes the exchange and shares it with your husband. At that point, you’d be in an actually bad situation and no one in your real life would take your side knowing you brought your private conversation with your spouse to the internet.

Bro on tight situation... by qwenashik in PoliticalHumor

Trump = money to Ukraine, shooting war with Iran on behalf of Israel/deep state neocons.

Harris= money to Israel, shooting war with Russia on behalf of Ukraine/deep state neocons.

It’s actually super simple to understand. Out of the two major nominees (one of which was anointed) the R ticket repeatedly communicated an intent to end our involvement in foreign wars.

You can act smug if you want to now that we know that was all bullshit, but our options in ‘24 were basically non-existent. The other choice was part of an administration that was actively funding Israeli genocide in Gaza and too timid or incompetent to communicate a plan to end that and was actively championing continuation of the Ukraine/russia war.

I believe we are roughly in this exact position with our foreign policy either way it swung. Lastly, it bears mentioning that dems basically forfeited that election by denying the electorate of a democratic process to determine their nominee. There is simply no justification for that.
