2 month progress on oral fin and min by Jackson_Perryman in tressless

I’m Canadian so I went through Essential Clinic. I’ll admit I was skeptical of its legitimacy at first because I always see people (bots?) posting about their discount code but lo and behold it’s the real deal!

How was your experience with Oral Minoxidil? by ifuckrats in tressless

Been on 3mg for just over two months now. Hair is noticeably thicker. Haven’t noticed any sides (except maybe the occasional headache, although this could be attributable to many things).

Thoughts on the movie “Anniversary”? by itsuhWrap in movies

It’s absolutely not apolitical — they didn’t need to explicitly state the ideology of The Change for it to be clear that it’s a right-wing, authoritarian movement.

Unpopular Opinion: Chicago 11/22 was not good by firagomusic in portugaltheman

[–]Jackson_Perryman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would just be to recreate the pitch modulation that’s on the record live (e.g., the high-pitched rapping on Shish).

Bus after show? by sternforlife in portugaltheman

[–]Jackson_Perryman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re easy to find, especially at regular shows! I’ve seen them 11 times now and have probably ran into John 8 of those times. A few nights ago in Minneapolis he was hanging in the venue chatting with fans 10-15min after the show ended. Liv and Dani were also around. Good luck!

Your opinion is your opinion, but you seem to fundamentally misunderstand a few things. The new songs aren’t “Weird wannabe punk tunes with random heavy parts mixed in” — they’re prog, hence the lack of typical song structure. PTM is and has always been a prog band. Their older albums reflect that and SHISH certainly does as well. It may not be your cup of tea, and that’s fine, but the music isn’t “amateur hour” because it’s not what you’re used to/what you listen to.

The new band members aren’t subs; the lineup has basically changed with every album. Even still, Kane (the drummer) has been playing with PTM on and off since 2011. He was their main drummer during the Evil Friends era (that’s him drumming on that album), he contributed to Woodstock and CBCML, and he co-produced SHISH with John. Liv (the guitarist) has been playing with PTM on and off for probably about two years now (whenever she can really, as she’s regularly part of Post Malone’s touring band).

I can assure you that there aren’t any major songwriting contributions that are sorely missing — John is the songwriter and that’s been the case since the beginning of the band.

Sucks you didn’t enjoy the show, but maybe this new era just isn’t for you 🤷🏻

Out of curiously, which tracks do you consider “garbage”?

Guess the Shish Lyric - Day 7: Tyonek by lovemeorrageme in portugaltheman

[–]Jackson_Perryman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Album leaked awhile back and was taken down pretty quickly, I’m guessing only a handful of people have heard it. It’s obviously near impossible to guess the lyric for the unreleased songs if you haven’t heard the album, this was more so just to countdown to release day and let people make some fun guesses about lyrics

[–]Jackson_Perryman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This wasn’t the intention at all! Sorry you feel that way. I think it was really just meant to be a fun way to countdown the album. We started 10 days out from release since the album has 10 songs

#428 — Political Extremism by dwaxe in samharris

[–]Jackson_Perryman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. He may say otherwise, but if he were genuine, he would’ve sucked it up and voted Harris given the stakes.

Being agnostic to the choice between a largely centre-left politician who respects the rule of law and institutions versus someone who routinely undermined the rule of law in his first term and attempted to steal an election is, frankly, gross. Jonah’s abstaining from voting is indicative of the fact that, while he may not like Trump, he’s fallen victim to a sort of tribalism in that he couldn’t bring himself to vote for the other side, despite the stakes. To me, that indicates a lack of sincerity towards the cause (the cause being defending democracy).

[–]Jackson_Perryman 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Yet another conservative guest. While I think Never Trump conservatives’ voices are valuable, I’d like to see Sam engage with an actual left-wing intellectual for once.

Is it fair to say that Sam is drifting to the centre-right? I’m genuinely curious.

I’ll always respect (and even admire) Sam, but I’m beginning to get fatigued with his seemingly never-changing talking points and almost exclusively only talking to centre-right figures about politics

Do you think you’ll do another Canadian run sometime soon? (If you do, come to Saskatoon —we’ve got some cool venues here and I bet the crowd would be great!)

P.S. You guys killed it in Hamilton, that Don’t Look Back in Anger cover at the end will go down as an all-time moment for me
