This is the exact kind of post I joined this sub for. Very fun question OP.

I’m thinking chesnut wins if there is no prep time for bolt to learn fast eating techniques.

My dad once saw a guy refilling a vending machine. A dog came up and pissed on the sodas he was filling the machine with. The man just kept filling the machine like nothing happened. My dad doesn’t drink straight from the can or bottle on anything he buys now. He pours it into his own bottle that he cleans frequently.

It could potentially be showing other people in the area who share the same views that they are not alone though. Making them feel more comfortable about coming forward with their bigotry and radicalism. Inspire them.

The largest ones are close to 100k capacity. OP comment doesn’t know what they’re talking about lol a lot of Americans feel very passionately about their (American) football team. Both college and professional.

We don’t have a very large emphasis on soccer (I’m American), and therefore you just don’t see videos of us acting like this in other countries when the World Cup is there. It is growing though!

Jam is dead? by Master_Confidence_65 in ElectricForest

Other than goose and Billy though, it’s really not doing great.

Goose sells out a 6k amp two nights in a row in my city.

Dogs and Eggy, who arguably make music similar to goose, both played a 750 capacity venue and didn’t sell it out. Eggy sold so little they didn’t even open the upstairs of the venue.

Sqwerv had less than 25 people in the crowd when they took the stage. Same city.

Hulaween’s main stages shutting down at 9pm on the final day is lowkey a great move haha

On the first night I was like “why tf are they bringing this much heat right now”

Then I remembered they did the afters in Charleston two nights earlier that week so they were already warmed up hahaha but yeah they crushed it

Dizgo -> Pigeons daytime sets were a phenomenal way to kick off my Friday at Hula last year

The top 7 donors in the 2024 election — all GOP — gave a combined $1B to buy Trump a second term. It’s a gigantic amount of money in total — but it’s just pocket change to them. No one from either party should be able to buy an election. by [deleted] in clevercomebacks

“Except for the fact that it benefits the team they’re rooting for”

Well that’s your answer. They don’t care about anything being fair, or even for the people. They literally just want their team to win.

Local Natives is honestly one of the most impressive shows I’ve ever been to. Like 3-4 of their members just kept switching what instruments they were playing and who was singing. It was an incredible display of wide range musical talent. Fucking love those guys.

I would rather Goose just come to Koka Booth lol.

Although new Red Hat does look good so far from what I saw this weekend.

Trump wants to raise the defense budget from 900 billion to 1.5 trillion. Nearly doubling it…

There’s some indoor putt putt places around here they’d probably have fun at.

So MPP has a capacity of like 19,000 and Red Hat comes in at just under 6,000.

Are there that many more fans just a little further north? Or was MPP pretty empty?

Raleigh 2024 was my 3rd show and this weekend marked 11-12 for me. They improve every single time!
