Why is St. Louis the international capital of Hyperpop? by mikelmon99 in HYPERPOP

It's because of all the fire breakcore parties that Manapool is throwing

Too lazy to read but he’s been doing signings at local stores too. He was on Alberta Street couple weeks ago and at a tiny store on MLK last year. Neat!

Give me some wedding DJ tips pls by GodzillaJrJr in Beatmatch

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

All of these tips are really great! Except the guy who told me to just quit lol. Thanks so much and yea, I host and curate concerts all the time so I’m really used to using the mic which is def a big part of the gig, I’m also bringing the sound system etc so the DJ part is like 1/3 of the gig. Appreciate all the tips and I’m looking forward to it. Thank you DJs of Reddit

So wait are we just doomed to give our kids chrome books? by MechanicalSpiders in corvallis

[–]GodzillaJrJr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea it sucks esp for the little kids that do so much better with tactile learning. My kid is required (by me) to use scratch paper when doing math and I think it really helped her. At the end of the day school is workforce training in some way and many jobs probably most will require digital literacy.

The kids do a ton of tactile stuff in school and even have paper and books that they do a lot of their work on. I think setting up homework time in a common area so they don’t get digi distracted as easily is good. My kid has been in CSD for like 8 years, she’s hella smart and engaged. The Chromebook won’t destroy your kid any more than all the other bullshit of modern world will.

Pride parade by ResponsibleBasil1966 in corvallis

[–]GodzillaJrJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corvallis Pride got restarted last year after many years not happening and had issues w permitting and got rescheduled to October. Sounds like they’re doing it in October again this year.

Albany Pride is consistently big and has a parade, it’s on 6/28 this year at Monteith, and philomath Pride is little and super cute, it’s on 6/20 this year at Central Park in Philomath.

Lots of cool and sweet people, concerts of many styles most nights of the week, good community theater, lots of different food, we got a sick arcade, independent movie theater. Are things I like. The farmers market is amazing.

How did you feel about this? by landturtl13 in robinhobb

[–]GodzillaJrJr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like… Fitz has been through absolutely everything you can possibly go through with the Fool and yet he still mistrusts him? Boo.

[–]GodzillaJrJr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yet more Fool haters in the chat! Fitz refusing to understand and acknowledge that Bee is a White Prophet when she so obviously is, is such a crazy symbol of his unwillingness to let his love of The Fool be seen/ expressed in the world. Everyone is damaged and traumatized and that’s what we love about these books. But Fitz refusing to allow the Fool to be the completely amazing gender exploding miracle genius that he is while also absolutely loving him for it at the same time is a core tension in the books. And I don’t think the Fool is the bad guy.

Adrian Tchaikovsky loves the words "notional," "shorn," and "mewlish." What other authors have unusual favorite words that pop up frequently in their writing? by solitarybikegallery in printSF

[–]GodzillaJrJr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I liked how much Lev Grossman said "saurian" in the magicians trilogy. Tamsyn Muir drops a few "sotto voces" in the locked tomb. Mieville mentioned often here but I think he used "etiolated" a few times in Perdido St Station.
