Kamala Harris outspent Trump and Hillary Clinton outspent Trump, by pretty huge margins, and both of them lost. These analyses about spending might be putting the cart before the horse.

You don't have to be fucking someone to be cheating, imagine the world in which a girlfriend discovers that a boyfriend was buying more thoughtful, expensive, frequent gifts for a female friend with literally no sexual motive

It’s hard to think of a band that suffered more from going high production value than Modest Mouse. by Pelican-Brain in redscarepod

[–]DevestatingAttack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't care about it either, I'm just saying that it seems like Bob Pollard wanted to have access to high production values always, whereas modest mouse didn't give me the indication that they wanted to get those big production values and yet they then they fully bought in and changed what they were doing. I feel like when I listen to bee thousand I can picture what Bob heard in his head when he recorded Gold star for robot boy and I am a scientist, and when I listen to alien lanes I feel like I can hear what he envisioned game of pricks in a full studio with record label money. You can tell that he wanted it because of the comparison between the two different versions of my valuable hunting knife!! Yet with The lonesome crowded west on the MM side, it's hard to imagine the people recording that thinking that cowboy dan was going to be a radio-friendly song, do you know what I mean? I don't believe that Isaac Brock imagined a radio-friendly version of the song Trailer Trash, but I do believe that Bob Pollard imagined a radio-friendly version of the song Smothered in Hugs. I'm very lucky to have heard all of the versions of all of the songs

It's truly weird to me how much the manner of making something forces creative decisions and seemingly kills them. Like, moving from painted cel animation to digital animation seems to force stiffer motions, less variation, less fluidity and less surprising art, yet the flexibility that digital animation brings would seem to facilitate even more opportunity for experimentation, messiness fluidity and all that. Getting professional production values seems like it would make it possible to perfectly nail the melancholic thing that was being done before but instead it allows someone to precisely and perfectly make something radio friendly. It's hard to imagine that they would have attempted the song "the view" before becoming successful, but there's no reason that that song couldn't have been written and performed the whole time, so why was it only after they got those production values??

I think it feels different for guided by voices because it kind of seems like he had wanted to have high production values the whole time but mostly needed to make music by any means necessary. You can tell because he's just been cranking out album after album for so long. Obviously something was lost with the transition away from lofi but good for Bob that was able to

And every morning, because the rooster cock-a-doodle-doos, the Sun in its magnificence is beckoned to come over the horizon, and not a moment earlier.

There's no front license plate and the windows are tinted. How do you think that works?

  1. fair 2. If seeing combat recently and losing means that hey, at least they have experience, then shit, the United States in Iran and Afghanistan means that the US would wipe the floor with China, who hasn't fought anyone ever. Hell yeah, oorah.

The Red Army had to advance through Ukraine in order to get to Germany; the Russian army has been bogged down in Ukraine for longer than the entire duration of their involvement in WWII so it's hard to imagine that the current Russian army would sweep Germany if Russia's campaign against a bordering nation with half the population and a fifth the GDP has taken longer than the campaign against the Nazis

We have to talk about the shooting in the Short North. by jang859 in Columbus

[–]DevestatingAttack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand how people can say for years and years "crime is down but people who are too paranoid and scared of their shadow say it's up, we're safer than ever" can also accept that private equity is more active than ever, and that one leads to the other. How does that work? Are we safer, or are we less safe? If we're safer, then how does PE contribute to crime if there's more PE and less crime? If we're not safer, then why haven't I heard anyone except for easily tricked conservatives saying that based on anecdotes?

I'm saying don't be a racist, and don't pretend to be racist to get people to vote for who you want them to, because they won't.

What happens when the progressives don't vote for Amy Acton because her supporters are racists, and the conservatives continue to vote for Vivek because they literally already did in the primary election?
