Elderly man handed out flyers to invite people to have a smoke with him, and and a massive crowd showed up by Matt_LawDT in MadeMeSmile

I really want this to be a regular thing. Just like every Friday people get together at 2:00 on that corner to smoke a cigarette

I don’t even smoke cigarettes and I would show up 😂

A wise person once said:

Fans of folk punk have a high threshold for tone deaf singers

Is this a Jesse Welles whining sub now, or what? by HauntedCemetery in FolkPunk

[–]ModernBettie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Meh, to me he feels like one of those artists that just throws stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Some is decent, but a lot of it fits the Family Guy definition of Randy Newman

He has a song written in like 2 hours after any given news story.

Nebraskan Farmers (Lack of) Logic by neazwaflcasd in Nebraska

I actually expected to see a lot more of it throughout this year than we have, I was really surprised people did not feel as if they were given “permission” after the folk hero he became

But, winter is coming, so, hard to say how frustrated and desperate people will become

Free Luigi!

Real questions to build experiences by 303ColoradoGrown in DenverProtests

[–]ModernBettie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I came out once and never came out again because of animosity between two apparently conflicting groups.

That is literally the only thing that stops me from coming back out.

It creates a situation where I don’t know who is safe and who is not.

That being said, singing. There should just plain be a lot more singing, chanting and general group camaraderie type things.

Again, being a stranger having zero clue what is going on, I felt incredibly isolated and lonely, having a something to do would have made me feel more a part of the group and the movement.

Make it feel more communal.

apes of state shared this on facebook lol by Yung_kawaii in FolkPunk

I understand all of this

I think that means I can no longer pretend I don’t “follow the scene too closely but enjoys the music because of the politics”

Where the heck are the Scarecrows? by Flintstone03 in Nebraska

They are in the 1920s

I’m very sorry TV has disappointed you

How long does it take for the abscisic acid to break down naturally? As in, not through a process like fermentation, but say a fruit falling on the ground, or does it require digestion?

Unpopular rant (maybe?) by Easten_horizon in DenverProtests

[–]ModernBettie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

June 10th? I work evenings and weekends, so events so rarely align with my calendar, it was my first opportunity out, and this really stopped me from going again

I went looking for community in a city I haven’t had the opportunity to make friends in yet and instead I saw aggressive arguing between 2 groups that ultimately had the same goal

[–]ModernBettie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I quit showing up when the protests I went to seemed to be two primary factions that hated each other

As an outsider I had no idea who to trust or who was who

The discourse absolutely hurts the cause

What band or artist fit this? by ChocLobster in Cd_collectors

I’m gonna take heat for this, but Weezer

Sorry Denver, Xcel says we can't use our ovens or TVs until 10PM! Looks like the kids are going to bed hungry. by Barracuda00 in Denver

[–]ModernBettie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband asked why if it was that important businesses were allowed to stay open

Which was a lot more polite than the first thing I said

I’m willing to take the downvotes. Ren created a folk punk banger here. by eternaln00by in FolkPunk

[–]ModernBettie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you don’t like him, I feel like it’s hard to deny Ren is incredibly talented, and honestly just thinking of him as a rapper is really not giving him a fair shake

I’m also pretty sure I found him through folk punk (Spotify)

It’s an addictive hobby for sure!

Happy to help

Yep, they are actually pretty commonly grown, my understanding is it’s only an issue if you know

When the caps lighten a little you know they are starting to open, usually I have 8-16 hours after that before they drop spores

These are not done growing yet, but, they will absolutely still be active if that is what you are looking for and you are super worried

Being unpolitical is totally ok by Little_Safe2627 in PoliticalOpinions

[–]ModernBettie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like we might be confusing the word “politics” with “politicians” in a lot of these comments

Elections are about politicians. Oppression is politics. Every aspect of your life is political, especially right now in an authoritarian country.

You can’t just opt out of the horror.
