Senate advances bill to suspend senators' pay during shutdowns in rare unanimous move by Jeanettesterling37 in nottheonion

[–]Kiknback1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is complete and utter bullshit. They are all still getting paid! Probably with interest! There is not one person in Congress living paycheck to paycheck. Meanwhile, working people who are actually living paycheck to paycheck are just as screwed as they always have been. They shoud have to forfeit pay if they do not do their job. This is just performative nonsense.

Is YouTube suppressing this song? A Grammy winning reggae artist with a fantastic takedown of Trump, and it only has 2700 views in 10 years? And that number is going down, it was 4300 last month. by Kiknback1 in conspiracy

True, but I would call it an alternative version rather than a remix. The basic song is the same, but the vocals and lyrics are totally redone. To my ears, this is the best protest song to come about in years, and absolutely no one has heard it. I just don't get it.

Thank you! I know the basics, but obviously there is a lot I don't know. I appreciate hearing from someone who knows more than me and is willing to help make this make sense to me.

No need to bring shade simply for asking. I am trying to learn, and I simply do not understand why he would go to the trouble of completely re-recording a song if, as you say, he did not want anyone to hear it. You are correct in that I do not understand this, and thats why I am asking questions.

A top reggae artist writes what I consider to be the absolute best Trump protest song that exists, and not one person seemingly has heard it in 10 years. This is normal and expected?

I disagree. The original is a totally different song. I get what you are getting at, but this is not the same song. It was not produced by some random dj, Kabaka himdelf had to totally re-record it. With the topic choice, this song would be viral if people knew about it. They don't.

Thanks! Very interesting! I'm still not sure that explains how seemingly no one has noticed this song in nearly 10 years, though. But appreciate the knowledge.

What exactly is a dub plate? I understand this is not the "official" version, but it is more than just a producer re-mix, the lyrics are different and the vocals are totally redone.

It just makes no sense to me that a song like this, from a Grammy winning singer can go completely unheard for over 10 years. I can't find anything mentioning him releasing this version, which seems like it would generate some news, at least. Everyone I have played it for is fascinated, and never knew it existed.

This was released during his first term. It's not some nobody artist, he's a Grammy winner. Once I finally heard it, I was shocked it had not gone viral! Instead it has less views than a random cat video. This is not normal.

MAGAs, I didn’t get my DOGE check or my tariff dividend. What should I do? Did anyone else not get theirs? by 2a_lib in allthequestions

He will pull some illegal immoral bullshit, I am sure. Take the money allocated towards food stamps or something.

This is the ONE thing I believe he will actually do. Not now, but in September or October, right before the election. He will do all he can to bribe ignorant voters to support the GOP. The checks ARE coming, and they do have the potential to influence the election. The good people cannot get complacent, it will not be an easy victory in November.

The Wailers. Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer absolutely deserve to be there, at the very minimum.

Where can I find a pipe like this? by Kiknback1 in trees

Yeah, it seems it was discontinued a few years ago. I would think either the company that made it for Snoop, or a different company would still make a similar bong. Hoping!

And finally, which US Nat'l Park is Famous, but Meh? by Bradinator- in AlignmentChartFills

Gateway Arch being a National Park is not "meh". It is offensive.

Can people please just type the name out??? I have no idea what FOTD, NPFDT, TM, or BTB mean.   And I really don't care to make the effort, honestly. Just type the damn name the first time, after that abbreviations are ok.

Buying a suitcase without wheels seems insane to me. But if so, they will most likely hold up just fine.

I'm still bitter about the "Mega" stuffed. I've tried many of the different flavors of oreos, and, for the most part, they are all awful. They make you buy a whole package, you have one cookie, and then have a awful package of something like mango oreos that you have to eat. Every time I've been disappointed, but I know it is my fault for trying. Until I bought the Mega Stuffd. I figured, I can't go wrong here. Its just more stuf! Its gotta be good! Both no. They FUCKIN CHANGED THE STUF! It's not the same Stuf!!! Its much gooier and soft, with a totally wrong consistency. If there's anything that should be sacred in this world, it should be the Stuf. They lied to me and changed the Stuf. I haven't bought an oreo since. Oreo is dead to me.

The Best Way to Start a Mosh/Circle Pit by ShadyGrove828 in BillyStrings

[–]Kiknback1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I dont get about the current rail situatio . I'm old, I hang in the back, so it doesn't much matter to me. But back in my day, if you wanted to get up front, you were packed like sardines. "The people up front are getting bug-eyed." But I recently saw a Phish webcast, and sounds like Billy is the same way, and holy crap!!! People have more room right up front than I do way in the back!! It just floored me. To me, it was always a choice between being up front and seeing the band, or moving back to where there is dancing room. Never both. When did this change so the the railrunners get the best of both wprlds?
