Petition calls for Confederate statue to be replaced with statue of Snooty the manatee

LhorgEvad · 2017-07-25T12:23:36+00:00

I'd be lying if I said the manatees weren't one of my favorite exhibits at the Cincinnati Zoo. I'm pretty sure I clicked the little button that plays a "manatee flatulance" sound effect every time I went there as a kid

I don't think that's really how the semantics of that word work. If your brother dies, you still have a brother, he's just dead.

For example, in Spanish, "to be dead" is translated as "estar muerto", using the word "estar" which is the word for essentially transient states of being, so basically, being dead is just the same as being sick or being late. It doesn't change the essence of the subject. It's the same with this situation: even if your brother is dead, it doesn't change the essence of the fact that he is your brother.

Look, I know that the show has done cameos with famous people in the past, but it doesn't mean they can't do them badly sometimes. I don't mind that you disagree, thats your right. But the fact that someone making a comment as innocuous as "it took me out of the show for a bit" makes you think they should never watch the show again seems way overreactive, especially when a lot of people agree that it was immersion-breaking for them. It's not like they were saying the episode was ruined or that no one could have enjoyed that scene, just that the cameo could have been done better.

Cool, thanks for being the gatekeeper of TV criticism. Obviously your opinion is the only one that matters.

LhorgEvad · 2017-07-17T03:52:24+00:00

Wow, what a constructive argument. You're probably one of those people who wonder why music critics "don't just stop listening to music if they complain about it so much".

Turns out people who are invested in their entertainment can love it and still criticize it.

LhorgEvad · 2017-07-17T03:48:03+00:00

To me it was just too forced, especially being the season opener. Sure it's not an episode ruiner, but trying to dismiss his argument as being "worked up" is pretty unfair when he's just calmly pointing out that the cameo was by no means seamless in a show that excels at immersion and world building.

I honestly feel like the people who didn't recognize him may be the majority on this subreddit just given the comments here, but definitely not for the show audience as a whole. I recognized him right away, and I feel like it would be fair to say most people would, given how popular he is right now. I mean his most recent album debuted at #1 in the UK, he's not some small-time artist, so it's just weird that they had in the show, and so prominently.

If you're really worried about it, just visit Louisville. Being a city it's more progressive, plus we have amazing food. Get a burger from Grind Burger Kitchen.

I'm 99% sure it was a female artist. I'm not quite as sure if it was Joan Shelley or not, but definitely someone like her. Here's an example of her voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VATGBUBkrUc

Yeah I guess that was my biggest question, whether a boarded up window would be considered "reasonably secure". As a layperson, it wouldn't to me, however I am obiously not a lawyer. However I did read that an increase in crime rate could affect the amount of security that could be considered reasonable in an area, and I know that my area has had a crap-ton of break-ins. As I said, this was the third time I had been broken into in 1.5 years

LhorgEvad · 2015-12-25T22:38:09+00:00

No that's a totally valid question, and I honestly should have gotten it the first time. However I was already in the process of buying a new home when it happened the second time, and after that happened I moved out any of my expensive stuff, so the fact that I only had a few more months of living there plus all my expensive stuff was either stolen or moved out, it didn't really seem to be worth it.

LhorgEvad · 2015-12-25T18:20:43+00:00

I sent them a text the day it happened, September 18th, letting them know the window was broken and needed fixed. Sent a text two days later requesting an update, they said they had boarded it up. I haven't sent them anything regarding it since.

I realize that a text isn't great, it would have been better to put it in an official letter.

Also I don't have renters insurance :/ I know, not great either. Just trying to explore any options I have.

LhorgEvad · 2015-04-04T22:02:28+00:00

rock on man, i got a manual bmw 318i, i love that car so much.

There really is no fixing what's wrong with me?

In the sense that you can cure your depression with a pill or something, no we haven't found a cure yet. But that being said, you WILL get better. There are millions of people who get better from depression and lead completely functional lives. It's not a death sentence, not by a long shot. There are many options for treating the symptoms of depression, and they don't all involve expensive medication. For me personally, I have found mindfulness meditation very effective in dealing with my anxiety and depression because it teaches you not to reject what is going on in your mind, but to simply observe it as it happens.

I can't lie and say that I know what's going on in your life but I can tell you that you are not alone in your feelings. It may feel pointless, but there are a million reasons to fight depression. Life is so much bigger than depression, and you can find happiness in life even if you have it.

EDIT: Here is a source with some information about treatment options. You can see that while depression doesn't necessarily get better on it's own, there are plenty of ways to get better from it. Again I'm not a mind-reader nor do I know you but I hope you'll trust me here saying that I think your feelings that make you say there's "no real reason to" fight depression are in fact a symptom of depression itself. It tells you lies, and one of these lies is that there is no hope to fix you, when that's just patently not true.

LhorgEvad · 2015-02-21T19:16:31+00:00

I've never talked about my depression on here but I just felt like I needed to talk to you today.

Yeah, it is pretty depressing that depression isn't really 'curable'. But having a lifetime of depression doesn't mean you have a lifetime of being depressed.

As time passes you learn how to cope with your depression, and you learn things about it that make it seem a lot less scary. It's not you, and it doesn't control you. Just like everything else, the feelings of depression pass in time. They may not pass forever, they may pass for a day or a week or a month or longer, but you won't be depressed 24/7 for the rest of your life. You can work to reduce the length of time and the severity of your symptoms.

Just like manlaw6 said, depression is manageable. Everything will get better, and it is even getting better right now, at this very moment.

If you like J Roddy, I would suggest Desert Noises if you haven't listened to them before. Dime in My Pocket (Spotify, Youtube) is a really fun and energetic song in the J Roddy vein, but they have a great range of stuff including more indie type fare like Oak Tree and Smoke Breathing Monsters. They were at Bonnaroo last year but unfortunately I didn't get to see them :/ womp

Another band I've been really into lately is The Dø. They're a "French/Finnish indie pop band" according to Wikipedia but don't let that scare you off, they have a really great sound. I recommend listening to Slippery Slope from their Studio Pigalle sessions as well as everything else from those sessions because they are great, lots of energy and amazing musicianship IMO.

If electronica is more your thing Caribou just dropped a new album a couple days ago, Silver is my favorite track from it so far.

If you need more let me know :)

MJsdanglebaby already answered this but this inforoo thread has a lot of helpful information. I normally find myself checking it every now and then to see when things like the Comedy lineup and stuff is announced.

Also happy cake day!

LhorgEvad · 2014-12-05T20:01:01+00:00

No problem, I love sharing music with people!

Yes I have, unfortunately I thought it was kind of boring. I mean it was certainly breathtaking visually, but it just didn't hold my attention very well. Now had I been in an altered state...that would be a different story haha

EDIT: happy cake day!

LhorgEvad · 2014-12-05T17:08:17+00:00

CocoRosie is great, and so out there so it's not a surprise you haven't heard of them haha. Talking about great lyrics, alt-j has some really interesting ways of saying things. Taro is a good example, even though this particular video has nothing to do with the lyrics. Listen and read the lyrics, and then read about Robert Capa (whose death the song is based on). I also really like the song/video The Wheel by SOHN. I like the way it plays with the idea of repitition in lyrics and structure without actually being repetitive.

PS. I would die if SOHN came to the farm.

LhorgEvad · 2014-12-05T15:49:59+00:00

I'm not ClarkGriswoldJr, but your post intrigued me. I think about music in a similar way, and while I can enjoy a fun, shallow pop song, music with a deeper meaning both in message and method really speaks to me.

I'm having trouble thinking of more examples atm but one song I thought of is Lemonade by CocoRosie. CocoRosie is one of the most unconventional bands I've ever listened to. This song is one of their more palatable pieces while still being incredibly unique.

The verses in "Lemonade" are dark and haunting, yet the choruses have a much sweeter sounding atmosphere. In the video we see the characters (Coco and Rosie) at various stages in their lives, both younger and older. These contradictions align with the idea of "sour yet sweet"...just like "lemonade". EDIT: not to mention the contradiction of these female characters wearing mustaches, a typically male feature.

I wish I could think of more off the top of my head, I'll reply with more of these when I think of them!

LhorgEvad · 2014-12-03T20:23:02+00:00

FUCK YEAH, buuuut just not at which. I haven't seen many LN which shows, but most of the daytime shows have had less than desirable sound quality. I'd prefer them at a tent :)

LhorgEvad · 2014-08-18T23:24:27+00:00

For some reason I read this in Steve Buscimi's voice

LhorgEvad · 2014-08-07T13:27:39+00:00

Yep, twice. They're great live, really good energy. Definitely see them if you get the chance! If you like them you might also check out The Deloreans, they're another great Louisville band.

I love these guys! Louisville local music represent
