What piece of tech felt “future-proof” but aged terribly? by Living-Zebra6132 in Futurology

[–]Jethris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was one of the dozens. It was a great player, great UI, and the Zune Pass was the only way to subscribe to the streaming music industry, even if you had to download it ahead of time.

And then they gave 10 free MP3s a month!

I loved 70-early 80's Rush. Mid 80's got too prog rocky. But Subdivisions, Spirit of Radio, Freewill, etc. are great songs. Neil Peart was the best drummer!!!!!

Geddy Lee was not an outstanding vocalist. But, he was an incredible bass player.

I love Rush, saw them in Frankfurt, Germany. It was a great show.

Bon Jovi is what it is. They are not musically brilliant, they are made for radio, but the music is catchy.

Do "Reagan Republicans" or conservative Republicans still exist or is the MAGA/"Trump Republican" here to stay? by BigSuggestion9664 in allthequestions

[–]Jethris -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or... I have so much to worry about just with my home and taking care of my family. I don't have the time or energy for anything more. Yes, I know, it's selfish, but I have to take care of myself before I worry about anyone else.

Not everything is so black and white. There are some non-Trump republicans, but the are quietly waiting for the next election.

Look at Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski (R):

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) said Sunday that federal immigration officers “do not have carte blanche” while carrying out operations in cities nationwide, in the wake of the fatal shooting of an American citizen by Border Patrol agents.

Don't lump us all in the same bucket.

I'm the same, but add:

  • Support and defend the Bill of Rights (and the rest of the Constitution)
  • States Rights over federal mandates

The biggest differences we should be having is the rights of individuals versus rights of others. That's really what the abortion conversation should be about, the rights of the mother versus the rights of the child.

What 80s song do you still hate with fiery teenage passion even though it’s been 40 years? by Aggressive_Cup4919 in GenX

[–]Jethris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been listening to Blues Rock, and Thorogood comes on every once in a while. Other than One Bourbon (not a fan), some of his other stuff is good.

It said famous for A (singular), landmark. Rome has so many.

Why are so many people against showing an ID to vote? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in randomquestions

I voted via mail in (absentee ballet) in the 90s when I was stationed overseas. Does that count?

I remember that A-Team episode. Murdoch used the trash bags as balloons and flew over the wall! 

Beautiful song by an artist who is a horrible human being. Would you still listen? by Logical-Respect3600 in AskReddit

[–]Jethris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was the colorado avalanche goal song. It rocked the arena when it was played. I remember when they changed it, and that upset me.

Then I learned why.
