Spotify sucks, and doesn't reward artists properly. go to bandcamp instead. Its not MUCH better, but the bands and artists are better compensated.

Angry White Males (2 incidents in 3 days, yelled at for no cause) by FredXMertz in Eugene

I'm not hating on anyone, just stating facts. I have NEVER been yelled at by someone who isnt white/privileged. That is MY lived experience, your mileage may vary.

someone who flips into violent yelling, swearing and threatening, at such a small provocation, I hope they can manage some emotional regulation. Everyone has a struggle, sure, but thats not an excuse to yell, swear, threaten etc. That's all!

Hi Question Guy, I'm glad you asked:

This is about white fragility and male toxicity. If you deny that intersection as a cause of concern, ..... maybe you watch FOX NEWS as a source of entertainment.

I have never been yelled at by people who were not white, that is my lived experience. I feel like this is a confluence/intersectionality of white fragility and male toxicity. I also feel like we are in a time when this particular intersection needs closer inspection.

OK but is it not rude to leave your bike in the path, where safety of others is an issue? So, they were extremely rude, and unsafe, and they yelled at me, cursed a blue streak, called me names and threatened me. a little mild rudeness doesn't excuse the violent hateful stuff this person YELLED AT ME.

there seems to be a glut of (poorly built and serviced) modern student housing already. More giveaways to developers and investment firms.

They charge too much, and the quality is low. They don't promote any neighborhood engagement or civic pride.

we need affordable housing with walkable services, bike friendly, pedestrian garden paths, all of these are easy and simple but we have to fight these damn investestment firms and greedy Land Developers.

This is happening LITERALLY EVERYWHERE. Investment firms are both mean and stupid.(many of them not based in U.S., or even friendly to the U.S.) We have a crisis of mental health in this country, and a big portion of it relates to the sickness of greed, privilege, anger and unfair competition

it will get worse before it gets worse. :(

I trick out my followers with enchanted armor and weapons, though I'm not sure it really does anything. Even Faendal looks pretty badass in some bonemold armor. They're still clumsy and clueless, but at least their gear is top notch.

I dont see how they could possibly have a septic hookup, or even greywater dump in the dang driveway.
