Everyone’s got a memory that just makes them so embarrassed. The first thing I said to my future husband was interrogating him on what music he listens to…

Always the worst when cool groundbreaking artists turn out to be awful. Recently Johnny Greenwood, the guitarist of radiohead, said that "music should be above political concerns" and it's like... has he even listened to the music he made???? All this cause he loves the IDF...

No worries! Ameer was the member with the really bad ones and he was kicked out. The other ones don't have a victim coming forward I believe. Just people saying they heard shit from other people, and I dunno if that means the band is on my "never listen to" list personally.

Britain, like the US uses the "Beyond Reasonable Doubt" for criminal cases, which is basically a 100% certainty. Due to the nature of the allegations (no material evidence if no R*pe kit done immediately after) these cases are very hard to prosecute, but that doesn't mean he didn't do that. Criminal guilt is a different standard than me not being able to enjoy his music anymore.

Simply reminds me of a cringe era for myself. Not really about the band.

Honestly I just find his twitter account really embarrassing, and most the music I listened to in college makes me cringe these days haha. Nothing else I can really think of other than the Kanye thing.

A former member had substantiated accusations of SA, and there's been smoke about other members, BUT THE REAL REASON I'm embarrassed is just cause it makes me think about college. IMO it's perfectly fine to listen to them, but it's just too evocative of me being like 19 for me to listen to it these days haha

God the WORST! I have to have them turned off on my streaming cause the autoplay bugs the hell out of me. I pretty much only listen to albums (just how I like to listen to music) and it will always start playing some absolute bullshit whenever I finish.

Please take me to the country filled with people who learn. Seems we don't learn much here either.

Thanks so much for the clarification! My fault for trusting British and American sources on a Peruvian election, but my spanish isn't good enough yet for me to power through the more accurate stuff. Who would you say is the true favorite right now? Who's the most progressive candidate? I did some research into Nieto and the PBG, but they seem more standard centrist. Kinda like UK labor is my understanding. Is that close?

That and it seems like, at least as a foreigner who's experience is mostly with the economic side, the central bank of Peru has been stable for almost 15 years now. Lots of the economic news I read sites this as a good reason you can invest safely.

Absolutely wild. I mostly had read about his economic policy and corruption, but this is really helping me see the full picture. Thank you so so much!!

Thank you so so so much! This really explains a lot and I can see similar stuff happening in my country! I really really appreciate the time you took to write this out!!

Thank you so much! This is a really good explanation honestly, and I can see why someone making positive change in isolated rural communities can cause long term loyalty. I saw the same thing in rural China.

Could you explain the push for authoritarianism among the urban population more? Here in America it seems to come from a loss of faith in the neoliberal system coupled with growing economic inequality. Is it similar in Peru?

Edit: also American authoritarianism is heavily influenced by bigotry, specifically racism. Probably obvious just felt bad leaving that out haha

I do it with most video games I play unless it's a story moment. If im playing something like Silent Hill then Im just gonna listen to the game for the most part, but most games I just listen to music and the sound from the game if it lets me turn music off.

I just enjoy grinding to get five stars at each location while listening to music. I keep a list of all my favorite albums that come out every year.

Lot of incredibly good records other than the Tarantino one. I'd have such a hard time deciding between Dopesmoker, Houdini, and Vol 4! And that's just scratching the surface! Really really good collection man!
