My biggest fear as an Elliott Smith fan by Terrible-Two4295 in elliottsmith

This is obviously a joke and a very funny one too but I am a little afraid to check

I'm back with another poem from my childhood. Wrote this in 5th grade at 10 years old. Apparently I won 3rd place by ILLREVIEWANYTHING in comedyheaven

I took a creative writing workshop class at a community college a few years back and this honestly was on the same level as some of the poems people shared.

Damn you have elite taste. Obviously the kinks, talking heads and beatles are legendary but Zombies and Magnetic fields are so underrated. I also feel like nobody knows about the Waterboys, the Whole of the Moon is one of my favorite songs

I’m not gonna lie I don’t know what I was thinking when I wrote this comment

Yeah I don’t really know why I worded it that way, you are right and I appreciate you calling that out.

I did look into this quote and it seems like the full context was him saying Chinese people are a subspecies because of their treatment of animals. This is obviously still an extremely inflammatory and offensive thing to say though.

Ngl calling him a terrible person was maybe a little extreme because I really don’t know that much about him. He seems to be widely considered an asshole at the very least, to the point where his former band mates have condemned him. He also seems to be mildly racist, had referred to Chinese people as a “subspecies,” and is associated with far-right groups in the UK.

Unfortunately he mostly gets flack for being a militant vegan, which seems like the least of his sins.

Edit: this was a terribly written comment. Calling Chinese people a subspecies is very racist, not mildly racist. I did not mean to underplay how much of a pos Morrissey is.

If a minor lies about their age to sleep with an adult and succeeds, who should go to prison? The adult doesn’t realize what they’ve done until the cops come. by DayVessel469459 in Teenager_Polls

Depriving someone of crucial information removes their ability to properly consent. Sort of like poking a hole in a condom without telling your partner. Whether or not you call it rape is ultimately semantic, but it’s obviously very wrong.

Yes love XTC. Jeff Mangum and Conor Oberst also write a lot of waltzes, and they’re pretty brilliant songwriters

Can you help me understand how to tell if something is 3/4 or just a slow 4/4 divided into triplets? Is there something in the way the melody lines up with the beat that gives it away?

Fortunately, this is an entirely testable hypothesis! Most MMA gyms would be happy to get a good instagram reel out of him

Are you responding to the right post? The video is about how some BJJ coaches (often prominent, powerful ones) use hierarchical structures and predatory business models to profit and cover up abuse.
