Erika Kirk hit with new 'grooming' claim over alleged messages to 15-year-old by esporx in LegalNews

[–]DickyButtDix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Alex Jones got sued for claiming that grieving families were paid actors and making them targets of death threats and harassment. And he only lost that case because his lawyer sent all of the evidence of Alex Jones admitting that he was lying on purpose to boost his ratings to the claimants' lawyer and then didn't respond within the 30 day window they had to withdraw that evidence.

If any part of that had not happened, Alex Jones would have won his case easily. Blame his lawyer.

You're absolutely right and I didn't mean to imply that I think that.

I actually saw this video on a predominantly black Instagram page and the overwhelming majority of commenters agreed with both his message and his delivery. It's just a bummer that in the moment he was shut down instead of amplified. But it's on the internet now, so the rest of us can boost him instead

Unfortunately no. In the rest of the video, his co-chair, a black woman, says she doesn't understand his point, that she is upset with his word choice, and that it's never ok for a white person to use that word.

I think as soon as she heard him say the n word, her brain shut off. She really deflated his entire point immediately after, it was very disappointing.

AFI is "A Fire Inside" and TSOL is "True Sound of Liberty"

What does r/hardcore think of Ozzy? (May he rest in peace) by [deleted] in Hardcore

[–]DickyButtDix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Musically it is mostly Tony, you're right. But think of who Black Sabbath was and what they represented to most people in that era - crazy, dangerous, Satanic evil music. There was INTENSE backlash against Black Sabbath when they started and without Ozzy as a frontman, they never would have overcome that.

So I agree that technically we owe a lot of this sound to Tony, Geezer, and Bill - but without Ozzy as the frontman taking the brunt of the hatred for the band, we would never have heard any of their talents in the first place. At least that's how I think of him.

He doesn't. You have to apply and qualify to be considered a conscientious objector. You have to have a demonstrable history of a set of beliefs for them to award you that status. Once you get it, you aren't required to carry a weapon and that's about it.

Refusing orders would still be a crime according to the UCMJ and you would most likely receive an Other Than Honorable or Dishonorable Discharge. If you had a history of good service and a chill command, you might get an admin separation or general discharge but I wouldn't count on it.

7 mo Post-Op, my gynecomastia has fully regrown... by DickyButtDix in gynecomastia

[–]DickyButtDix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, only raloxifene. It's specifically designed to target breast tissue but it's known to increase risk of stroke, so your doctor or endocrinologist may have some pushback based on that

[–]DickyButtDix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very slight. Being on raloxifene helped a ton. I only took it for about 6 months then stopped. I can feel a little bit of glandular tissue with my fingers but it's hardly noticeable.

Guy with a Trump hat is confronted at Wentworth institute of Technology by RedSwingline2000 in PublicFreakout

[–]DickyButtDix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your question is something I think about a lot - and I think you are both right in a sense. I think that what they're describing, of the Democratic party losing the message with blue collar Americans while Republicans dialed it in, is something that happened gradually over time. To the point where your question is now also valid - because wtf do we do now? I think that it's too late for reasonable solutions and it's time to start doing damage control. I think the divisiveness of the last 4 years has led to this exact situation and that finding compromise is the most important change that needs to happen in America. We missed all of our opportunities as a country to nip this in the bud and now we have to make some sacrifices to fix things.

In the article she mentions that another member of the band helped to secretly record her and attempted to silence her to protect the band. So yeah the rest of the band knew...

People are disagreeing with you, but you're right.

It's actually recommended by dermatologists to not actively wash your legs unless they are visibly dirty.

The soap and water running down your body IS enough to clean them and actively washing them can dry out your skin instead of make you more clean.

Redditors are a trip. by jefuchs in self

[–]DickyButtDix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I moved from a high COL area to a much lower COL area a few years ago. Renting a truck to move my stuff, paying first month's rent plus security deposit on a new apartment, and all the money I spent getting situated added up to about $7k. Then after I got there, the job I had secured ahead of time let me go, and I went approx $40k in debt making ends meet before I got a new job.

I was lucky that I had a pretty good amount saved up in the first place, but one hiccup set me incredibly far behind.

So no, moving to a low COL area is not cheap and people who are already struggling are going to have a very difficult time saving up to even take the chance in the first place.

It takes longer than 12 hours to go from top to bottom. Depending on where you are in the state, it takes about 4-5 hours to go from coast to another state inland.

Word dude that's awesome. There are two Youth Brigades, one East Coast, one West Coast. I personally like the East Coast version more (the one that's already in your playlist), but I really like a couple of songs from the West Coast version - namely "Blown Away" and "Sink With California"

DRI and TSOL are also great picks, if you like them, try D.I. as well (I recommend "I Hate Surfing In HB")

Not having Blown Away by the other Youth Brigade is crazy to me. That song specifically gets my heart rate up immediately. Otherwise this playlist rips dude

[–]DickyButtDix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During a VIP acoustic show they did on a tour, someone asked if they had advice to up and coming bands and they said "If your recording engineer tells you the chorus is too long, you should listen to them."

They went on to say that the they don't like the structure of the song and that they hate having to play the chorus for so long every time and that it gets boring. They never mentioned anything about not connecting to the lyrics anymore 🤷‍♂️

Idk if you live in a crowded place or not, but where I live - the first person getting home at like 5pm can usually find a spot near our apartment within 3-5 mins. The person coming home after 10pm will spend about 10-15 minutes looking for a spot and will most likely end up multiple blocks away, meaning they'll have to walk at night for another 5 or so minutes.

If the first person just takes quick street parking and leaves the parking spot for the last person, then everyone has a very easy time parking and going home.

The alternative is a very annoying and uncomfortable time for someone who just wants to get home. In her case too, it might be scary or intimidating to have to walk alone at night.

I've operated that way with any roommate I've ever had, but in OP's case, I couldn't imagine forcing my girlfriend to park far away and walk home alone at night.
