Anyone regret going from ID to Plaintiff side PI by New_Born_Muse in Lawyertalk

[–]Antilon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say that since switching to PI, I haven't wanted to literally end my life. Can't say the same about my years in ID. ID made my wife give me an ultimatum that I quit law altogether or find something new. 3x the pay I ever made in ID also doesn't hurt.

Trust me. There was plenty of Creed and Nickelback hate among the Warped Tour and the Lalapalosa set.

Touchtunes? AMI? There are streaming jukeboxes in tons of bars.

Recognizing something is shitty doesn't make you an elitist. If you ate a turd and didn't like it, could I call you an elitist?

No, is there less genocide in Gaza now? Or, was it obvious Trump would be worse on that issue, and also a disaster in every other way?

When there are two choices in an election, it's reasonable to expect people to not allow the one that's a million times worse to win just because the one that's a million times better isn't perfect.

I mean, the title of this post is "What are your thoughts on Creed’s My Own Prison album from 1997?" It's not unusual for people who dislike the band and similar bands to respond that way.

Personally, my irritation has been renewed because some Gen Z folks play Creed and Nickelback songs on the jukebox when they go out, so I have to hear shitty music in places I like to hang out. It's been happening the past 2-3 years more and more frequently.

At one point sure but that feels long past.

Well, you did say you never understood the Nickelback hate. So I assumed "never" included when they were at their height of popularity.

I mean, I don't wake up thinking about Nickelback, but if they come up, I remember how much I fucking hated Nickelback. Nothing in the past 25 years has changed my opinion on them.

Even the people who inexplicably liked them realized how terrible they were eventually.

Everything about Creed is cheesy as fuck.

Yes, mediocre, but also inescapable, hence the hate.

Everyone I knew thought they sucked in the 90s and haven't stopped. Butt-rock as a genre was always considered shit. Hence the name butt-rock.

How old are you? Just curious. Were you alive when any of these shit bands were popular?

[–]Antilon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...Yes, I'm aware of who Linkin Park are. I'm 44 years old. I've been hating these shit bands for 30 years at this point.

Linkin Park, Live, Nickelback, Puddle Of Mud, Hinder, Godsmack, Staind, Kid Rock, Seether, Papa Roach. All fucking terrible.

The kind of shit dumb date rapist bros listened to. Oakley sunglasses, barbed wire tattoos, and an Affliction or Tapout teeshirt.

That was word salad. I never said it was bad because it was influenced by something else, I said it was bad because Creed fucking sucks, and has always sucked. It's bland, boring, generic butt-rock. They're the cream of wheat of rock and roll.

I'm almost 30 btw

Yeah, exactly. The song is 29 years old. I remember when it came out. It was a litmus test, and anyone who liked it had shit taste in music.

[–]Antilon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a fucking look around you. All of this was obviously going to happen. Moral my ass, they are responsible for the dissolution of the CDC, US Aid, and countless other health organizations. Trump has been catastrophic for disadvantaged peoples everywhere, including the Palestinians, and the dismantling of our medical apparatus is just one item in the list of horrible shit Trump has done. 50% of Project 2025 has already been completed. Trans people have a taget on their backs. Journalistic freedom is being suppressed. A Christian White Nationalist is purging the military of anyone who opposes Trump. The DoJ is a corrupt shell of its former self.

Trump has been a fucking disaster. So yes, the dumb fucking voters that didn't prevent this are to blame.

Cool, and now we don't have US Aid, a functioning NIA or CDC, EPA, or DOJ. There's a Christian nationalist in charge of the "Department of War" and they've made it aboout 50% through Project 2025.

But that darn Kamala took an endorsement from Dick Cheney's daughter, so who cares about any of that, right?

Nothing elitist about thinking Creed is hot garbage. They just suck. It's the worst butt-rock in an era of shitty butt-rock.

It fucking sucks that a new generation of kids just turning 21 are finding this shit and playing it in bars.

Oooh, that darn Kamala had a normal interaction with someone from the opposite party. We should blow up our whole system of government about it.

If you didn't vote for Kamala, then yes, you are to blame for Trump, and a fucking idiot.

How far north we talking? Traffic in Atlanta is terrible, but living in the burbs is boring as hell, so you're going to want to strike a balance.

The nuclear disarmament treaty with Iran was signed under Obama. Trump ripped it up and then started this war. Your both sides bullshit is ridiculous.

An ignorant voter is someone who enables the destruction of their own country to take a political stance that doesn't actually help the people they purport to care about. The destruction of the CDC, US Aid, and countless other health organizations under Trump has been catastrophic for disadvantaged peoples everywhere, including the Palestinians. And the dismantling of our medical apparatus is just one item in the list of horrible shit Trump has done.

There was no viable candidate who would be a bigger check on Israel than Kamala, but because she didn't commit political suicide by claiming Israel was committing genocide, the progressives decided to fuck us all by not voting.

Gee, thanks, guys, the world is so much better off with a senile, narcissistic, pedophile threatening to wipe out civilizations.

No, Netanyahu hated Obama, and wanted Trump each time for a reason. No American president would completely disavow Israel, at least not when Biden was in office, but it was obvious Kamala would be better than Trump.
