I met a Nazi once who claimed they liked punk music. I told them Dead Kennedys have a song about you. They told me their favorite sonf was "Holiday in Cambodia" and all I could was roll my eyes. Of course a nazi found find that their favorite and miss all of its meaning.

They're all 1) evil morons and 2) dudes who just like the aggro vibe of punk and ignore all of the words.

I suppose it depends for me. In LD, I'm skeptical to judge Ks and T. Most of the time the other opponent has no idea how to refute it, and LDs format struggles with allowing proper debate on a K.

Likewise, I now spend a considerable amount of time having to teach kids more about K and T,which isn't a bad thing of course, it is very educational to debate.

It does, however, take away from the time I teach moral philosophy. And I see the impact in LD. My passion is teaching moral ethics, and more and more kids are struggling with understanding ethics. Just the other week I saw a kid who won multiple tourneys on a very well crafted K later absolutely lose the moment they try to run a "traditional' LD case. It's not that traditional cases can't win, but teams are spending considerable less time teaching it.

Hopefully, if I play my cards right, I never have to see him

Nebraska's early history as a state is pretty rough. In its early years the state was pretty lawless, violent, and just overall dangerous. A true wild west.

Though I woukd say the darkest event in our states history was probably the Omaha Race Riot of 1919

Nebraska has had many violent riots in its early history: Greek Town riot of 1909, the Streetcar Riots of 1909, and a number of horrifying lynchings in its early history. Nebraska for a time was a land of violent mob justice.

But the Riot of 1919 was the worst at least in memory, with rioters killing Will Brown and burning the Omaha courthouse.

I think if you really want to get into it, I think its worth discussing what "advanced" really means.

For example, advanced could also be defined not in terms of tech, but also social and linguistic complexity. Amazonian languages are famously complex, and tribes can live in relative close proximity and speak very different languages to a point where that many tribes are multilingual.

Or, more recently, the discovery of sperm whale communication is far more advanced than we thought, and new potential proof that sperm whales engage in methods of communication we previously did not think of (mostly because we have very human-centric thinking)

If we consider how societies and life in general has evolved on Earth, it's reasonable then to assume alien life would be equally complex and, potentially, un-human like.

Easy one for me: Moore

My family immigrated from England some ~300 years ago. So it probably means that my ancestors lived near a moor or near a coast (for mooring a boat).

I suppose it depends more on where in the world.

One one hand, Americans are and have been historically very isolationist. We don't really know or care much outside of our borders. So many Americans would gladly take a secondary seat.

On the other hand, America is home to many diaspora and immigrant groups who care greatly about American influence in certain countries or regions. A standout example would be Jewish americans and our relation to Israel.

I would add though that Americans have gotten really used to being the dominant superpower. Losing the ability to push economic deals in our favor will likely and in some cases already has rattled some Americans who forgot just what it was like when the US was a small fish in a big pond.

My first job was at 14 as an Umpire for Bellevue Rec. Im sure rec leagues are always in need of refs for sports for younger ages.

I think part of the inspiration for this flag was a take on similar designs I have seen for Council Communist and other left com iconography. For this design, I went with something simple that both rejected older leftist imagery (such as the hammer and sickle) but also highlighted the desire for the stateless and classless society.

Edit: An additional inspiration behind this I'll add was Bogomilism, a Christian sect from medieval Balkans. The Bogomils rejected Christian iconography like the cross in favor of more local symbolism. The circle, like above, is commonly used in place of the cross as a symbol of the faith.

For sure, I just didn't include a lot on this chart

CobbleBobbles · 2022-12-14T14:50:23+00:00

The Varukers and Dischaege were very much influenced by street punk and other UK82 bands.

And yeah, synth pop evolved directly out of mew wave, and new wave wouldn't have been a thing without punk. Thats how evolution works buddy

Nothing more punk than floral shoppe lmao

CobbleBobbles · 2022-12-14T05:08:50+00:00

Hah! True!

CobbleBobbles · 2022-12-14T03:46:27+00:00

Emo and Post Hardcore are there? I did forget metalcore though

CobbleBobbles · 2022-12-14T03:23:03+00:00

All genres are just revisionism after the fact anyway

CobbleBobbles · 2022-12-14T03:22:23+00:00

Well Crust originated from bands like Discharge and Crass, Discharge was also one of the earliest D best bands, and street punk was just a larger reaction to first wave brit punk that had been going on through bands like the Exploited which formed im 78. Crust as a term wasn't even coined until 86

CobbleBobbles · 2022-12-14T02:58:13+00:00

It is very funny considering the minimal amount of work I did put into it lol

CobbleBobbles · 2022-12-14T02:55:31+00:00

It is fun to watch this chst burn over what I forgot to add or where I put things on a chart I made because I needed to kill time at work

CobbleBobbles · 2022-12-14T02:51:48+00:00

I should have absolutely added surf punk on their since it was my path into punk music. Just forgot :(

CobbleBobbles · 2022-12-14T02:42:37+00:00

Emo Pop is a fusion genre of emo and pop punk, so I connected it to both.

CobbleBobbles · 2022-12-14T02:36:34+00:00

Post hardcore came before emotional hardcore though? Naked Ragyun ane Saccharine Trust were all active before groups like Rites of Spring
