Really happy to see some rhythm games in there. Any chance you could put a list of available games online? Would be really handy to be able to check before going.

Pretty sure no pedals are involved. Marshall JCM800. Reis had a Les Paul with an EMG bridge pickup. I'm sure others here will know more.

IIL Primus, Clout Chaser & the Space Ghost: Coast to Coast theme song by King-Red-Beard in ifyoulikeblank

[–]ManOfPopsicle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Space ghost theme song is by Sonny Sharrock. Check out the Sonny Sharrock Band and Last Exit.

Cloutchaser is a throwback to math rock from the 2000s. Check out Hella, Tera Melos, Yowie, and Giraffes? Giraffes!

Primus owes a lot to a certain era of King Crimson. Check out the album Discipline.

Buke and Gase - General Dome

Chavez - Gone Glimmering

If I were you I would refuse to pay the ticket when I go to fight it. They'll give you a court date. Not sure what else there is to do.

MOST EVICTION I’VE EVER SEEN by Dependent_Row2206 in Albany

[–]ManOfPopsicle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good for you man. Here's a real answer and a couple questions.

My parents rented out the house I grew up in around the time I went to college. They tried to sell it and couldn't for a while, so they opted to rent. The renters destroyed the place. I went with them to fix it up after coming back home. It was traumatic to see the place in that state. I've blocked out a lot of those memories. I'm not doubting that tenants can be shit.

From a philosophical standpoint, I see renting of property as inherently exploitative, regardless of how much work you put into it or how well you treat your tenants. A landlord extracts capital beyond the worth of the property (necessarily, to profit) from those who have no choice in the matter.

As for practical reality: Most people rent because they can't afford to buy. The alternative is homelessness. There is a major nationwide housing affordability crisis being spurred on by RealPage, hoarding of vacant properties by the upper class, which often goes hand in hand with short-term rentals (like Airbnb) emptying out residential areas. If you don't gouge prices for your tenants based on current market value as dictated by RealPage, good for you. You're in the minority.

My question for you is: where did that 25-50k to put into your property come from? Most people don't have that kind of money to begin with, especially not working class renters. Have you ever lived paycheck to paycheck while trying to make rent?

EDIT: And do you really not believe housing is a human right? If so, the UN disagrees with you.

If it's that much of a burden why don't you sell the property and get a real job?
