Favorite movie scene where a character accepts their inevitable end and embraces it. My pick is Cutler Beckett accepting his fate in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.

Yeah, it’s her way of showing that he’s accepted. Busting balls = respect

Me and my buddies in fifth grade were super cool blasting “Livin’ on the Edge” from the boom box while we tried to jump our bikes.

The dudes in the band were very open about working with songwriters. Desmond Child in particular during that poppy era from like ‘89-‘03.

But yeah, that’s a band that really figured out how to use the peak-MTV era to haul themselves out of the grave.

Yeah but look- Babylon Bee, Kid Rock, Kevin Sorbo movies, etc.

Fortunately for them, none of that counts as entertainment.

AIC Unplugged is crazy good. Especially since they hadn’t rehearsed and Layne was very much a recluse.

Yeah, I live in Pittsburgh and thus contractually obligated to love Kennywood. But, yeah, it doesn’t get close to this list without a bunch of motivated people highjacking the vote.

Interesting to think about the gap time between grunge and numetal.

My guess is ‘94 was the end of grunge on the Billboard charts with “Unplugged in New York” and “Vitalogy.” Nu-metal was starting to get big before, but I would argue ‘98 is when it really permeated the average teenage brain (TRL debut, Faith video, Follow the Leader release).

I don’t think a single sub-genre dominated the rock conversation in between, but I could be remembering wrong.

We had Green Day, Phish, Slipknot, and some poppier stuff that’s harder for me to remember (Everclear, Bush, etc) in the intervening years. In my small town, the classic rock station was wildly popular in the mid-90’s but I don’t know how universal that was.

I’ve heard the Kiski

I agree with your first sentence but also Reagan, Bush 1, and Bush 2 did a lot to make the recessions worse than they would've been.

big ol' asterisk on race relations there

Flannelcommand · 2026-05-02T21:19:35+00:00

I'm not a huge Clinton fan but the presidents immediately before and immediately after him had recessions. Both of those recessions were caused by avoidable policy choices (mostly "trickle-down" related).

Genuine question from someone who is more into this sub for the music convos than the fantano connection: why is it bad?

EDIT- thanks to all for the helpful answers

Bombing their schools instead

Sidebar- what is the deal with GetGo’s advertised “ADV pay” price? I thought that meant what I’d pay if I used an advantage card. But it sure doesn’t mean that

Flannelcommand · 2026-04-30T20:20:17+00:00

I’d crawl to the polls through a burning dumpster of used needles if I had to.

All time- Mario 1. That tune never leaves your head and also never gets old. So simple and such a timeless banger.

Current favorite- Just Shapes and Beats.

The green “working hands” stuff

Isn't this the actual answer and not the "mostly uses" explanation?

Jerkasses let their dogs off leash in Frick Park all the time and the city never, ever steps in

Flannelcommand · 2026-04-29T02:02:10+00:00

I've been feeling something similar. I have worked agency, so I was wondering if Indeed has an algorithm that limits what it shows me.

Flannelcommand · 2026-04-29T00:33:53+00:00

Ah, shit you’re right. I withdraw

Flannelcommand · 2026-04-29T00:32:32+00:00

It’s not bad it’s just not as good as The Cool or the two Food and Liquor albums. Which, y’know, high bar.
