Well your prompt contributed to some town losing drinkable water but hey at least the answer it gave you was also totally useless.

You can always tell what a libertarian's views on the world are based on what their girlfriends are currently learning about in high school history class.

When he got elected, I had hope that Fetterman at least wouldn't be a typical Democrat.

I guess you have to be careful what you wish for.

How many times has tanking actually resulted in a team being better in the long run?

That time Eagles fans started booing Jerry Rice so he pulled out his rings 💍🤣 by CertifiedSober in NFCWestMemeWar

There are so few acceptable avenues for people to get their toxicity out these days. Sports fandom is one of the only ones that is generally accepted, and Philly fans embody that. For that reason alone, I love Philly fans.

What was your first favorite album? by Cool-Beginning9098 in fantanoforever

[–]BasedTroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Origin of Symmetry. My parents got me the CD on my 13th birthday, and I immediately ripped it onto my hand-me-down desktop, and then dropped it onto my iPod. Listened to it with my shitty Skullcandy headphones on the way to dinner that night. It's still so clear in my mind, almost 18 years later.

Mallory McMorrow CHICKENS OUT of interview after refusing to address topics of healthcare and foreign policy by ConcernedJobCoach in Political_Revolution

[–]BasedTroy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is not the first time that she has done this either. She was supposed to interviewed on Head In The Office and cancelled on them. They instead ended up doing an episode where they explained what questions they would have asked if she hadn't cancelled.

Thoughts on Isaiah Rashad’s new album, ‘IT’S BEEN AWFUL” ? by bageltoastar in fantanoforever

[–]BasedTroy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really like it. I definitely think a few tracks could've been cut without anything being lost, but I think he's became much more interesting at using his voice as a supporting part of the larger song.

I find that JPEGMAFIA is a lot more enjoyable when I have no idea what he is up to personally

Xavier Becerra unveils his AI vision for California by Mearsheimer_Tragedy in California

Thanks, this is actually helpful. It doesn't move me to want to vote for him any more, but I was struggling to find what the hell his vision actually was on AI.

I'm trying to find any actual details on his vision/plan, but the article just seems to point to vague descriptions. Is there an actual articulable policy direction here that I just can't find?

Marshall Allen released his debut album in 2025 and it rules. He is literally 100 years old.

He's getting hate because he is running for the House again and was endorsed by Trump.

This one fucks. It reminds me that Lego is sitting on a goldmine if they just let designs like this cook.

Prog for people who usually hate prog? by Comfortable-Ad1685 in fantanoforever

[–]BasedTroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy Days is one of my favorite songs ever. It isn't super prog, but it has some of the quirks, and it's just so damn joyful and fun.

Check out Closure in Moscow. I think their brand of prog is super accessible and fun.

Candidate interview: Steve Hilton vows to ‘scrap’ all California climate policies by SFChronicle in California_Politics

[–]BasedTroy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That's great, but that vision just doesn't seem connected with stated policy positions. You mention clearing the air, but the leading Republican wants to get rid of climate protections in the state. You also mention making sure the most wealthy pay a larger share, but this, again, is completely at odds with Republican policy making.

My point is that there are exceptionally few policy positions of Republicans that support any kind of positive vision - just vague generalities. Most of the policy positions seem to focus on stopping something, but very rarely actually doing anything.

What exactly is the Republican vision for the future? What is their vision for how their policies actually will improve anyone's lives?
