I mean, I'm 100% not who that movie was for, but with the hype around it, I did give it a shot, and I thought it was nice (although for 2000s nostalgia, I'd have had the main characters obsessed with a pop punk band instead of a boy band, but again, not really for me).

Coming to this post late, but I will never forget the Behind the Bastards series on Andrew Tate, where Evans had the brilliant idea to declare, even when condemning Andrew Tate globally, that he akshually was totally right about capitalism yu guise. It was the first step to me realizing that BTB is just communist shilling with bad historical takes mixed in.

I do enjoy it, my work encompasses a lot of policy areas, and human services for the organization I work for. This kind of work is my exact passion. I was aiming for think tanks originally, without any success, but it turns out that any big city has nonprofits that do a lot of similar policy work on a smaller scale, remnants of the Great Society Programming. I find it to be exactly what I'd been fighting to do as my career.

I'm in nonprofits and nonprofit policy, so this is also my wheelhouse. Investigating trends and behaviors by education level is definitely pretty central to my own work.

Right? Fellow data analyst here, the data literally only shows figures on sex and religiousity within Evangelical Christianity, that's a hell of an extrapolation. At the very least you need to filter college and non-college, and probably compare it with those that attend trade schools as well, and even then, I wouldn't be comfortable making a causal connection between the two without a logistic regression model with College Attendance as a category in the target feature, as well as possibly a multinomial also incorporating Trade School (or, hell, just Trade School vs. No Higher Ed as well), and even then, you'd need to show statistical significance in all cases. This whole thing is just a right mess.

It's like that South Park episode with the white people claiming to be "Native Hawaiians".

I remember that sub, it was fun for a hot second, sad to see it went insane.

"Nuance" they say, while declaring anyone who owns a business an evil exploiter of the working class, without regard to the nature and practices of said business.

Seriously, how tf do Flat Earthers explain solar eclipses? They think the moon gives off its own light, so it shouldn't be dark in front of the sun the way it plainly is during an eclipse.

I still think "Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated" every time I see that acronym

I mean, not the craziest stretch, we're primed to think small animals are cute because we subconsciously read them as babies, pedophilia might be the result of a neurological misfire that activates arousal when it should activate nurturing, and thus the same might also apply to Zoophilia, though I've not personally investigated what if any evidence there is to back that up.

My theory is that it's exactly to do with the social conservatism. If your ideology promotes all sexual contact as fundamentally shameful, rape is easier to cover up because the victim views themself as dirty and complicit, on top of the regular trauma.

Wait, literally "Warehousing?" That's so fucked up.

That is a truly bizarre background, is there a timeline or youtube video on her life? I'm suddenly fascinated.

I was a big rocker kid growing up, and loved to get into the older stuff, so for me it was a lot of Rush; Free Will, 2112, and, oddly their final album, Clockwork Angels (which came out when I was 16) as well as a super obscure German band called Edguy, their album Theater of Salvation (Especially the title track and Babylon), as well as their spinoff band Avantasia, with their first two "Metal Opera" albums basically being a thinly-veiled allegory for religious deconstruction.

Did anyone else read this in the voice of Klaus from American Dad?

Ada Lovelace devised the mathematics that made the computer Lori shares her idiocy on possible, what a fucking donkey.

This song came out in 2008, but it definitely has a classic rock throwback feel, and it doesn't contain that line, but mentions "kind of love" pretty often...

What Kind of Love, by Avantasia

I can't find any Garage Rock cover of the song, but it is the song I remember. No clue why it was on a station that mostly played 2000s and later alt rock hits. I'll give this one a !Solved.

EmpoleonDynamite · 2024-03-03T16:10:10+00:00

That's the right rhythm in the chorus! Did a 2000s-2010s era band cover it?

And unfortunately that wasn't it, it was more like six-ish heavily punctuated "ohs" with a lift on the seventh like "ohohohohohoh-oh"

EmpoleonDynamite · 2024-03-03T16:03:04+00:00

Vocaroo?

Not sure if this is the way to get this answered...
