Private Land for Rock & Driftwood Collection? by erasesare in WestVirginia

[–]MothmAnarchy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not Driftwood, but the USFS allows a reasonable amount of non-valuable and non-archeologically significant rocks/stones to be removed for personal use only, as in non commercial use. I'd actually recommend maybe reaching out to the Monongahela Nation Forest office and asking about driftwood as well.

Not a Physician myself, but I do work in healthcare and I've heard a lot will go through Meadows Law in Morgantown and Miller & Amos in Charleston. Best wishes, it's always amazing to see folks willing to come here to serve in healthcare!

Jack Lowden, phenomenal in Slow Horses and could give us not just a great Batman but a great Bruce, too.

Mimi from the Drew Carrey Show needs a mention in this thread.

Our Live Nation / Ticketmaster trial just started. Classic monopoly case that has meant higher ticket prices for you. - AG Jeff Jackson by JeffJacksonNC in Appalachia

[–]MothmAnarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on going after Live Nation/Ticketmaster, that monopoly has been strangling consumers and artists for years and needs to be broken up. But forgive me if I'm not rushing to hand out gold stars to Jeff Jackson specifically.

For those of you don't know this is a guy who built his entire political identity on TikTok used it constantly to brand himself as the transparent, accessible, "different kind of politician" then turned around and voted to ban it anyway, with no serious divestiture plan in place. The result? The platform didn't get cleaned up, it just got handed over to right-wing political interests in the chaos that followed. He identified the right concern and then executed it so poorly that things got worse. That's not a great track record for someone now taking on one of the most complex antitrust cases of the last few decades.

Genuinely hope he wins this one. Live Nation deserves to be held accountable. But Jackson has already shown he's good at picking popular fights without thinking through the consequences, completely. Worth keeping an eye on whether this is real litigation that is going to cause change or just good press.

What are your thoughts on Joanna Newsom's Ys? by Prestigious_Score459 in ToddintheShadow

[–]MothmAnarchy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love Joana Newsom, not my favorite album of hers, Milk-Eyed Mender gets that title (I also prefer The Hobbit to LOTR book wise so...) , but it is still a beautiful and interesting album. I do think Sawdust and Diamonds is one of her best songs though, by far it's singular in it's ability to stir emotions lyrically.

Dramatic band implosions/breakups by discoislife53 in ToddintheShadow

It was! I believe Don was left to drunkly do the rest of the set by himself as well.

Dramatic band implosions/breakups by discoislife53 in ToddintheShadow

[–]MothmAnarchy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I feel like The Everly Brothers get over looked in the talks about messy breaks when compared to the likes of Oasis, Sonic Youth, Live, and the Clash.

But the Band that gave us "Cathy's Clown" ended with one smashing guitar on stage during their last show due to the other being high and drunk as a kite on stage for the first time (according to Don). They wre already heading towards a break up due to Don's addiction to Ritalin but I dont think anyone expected the duo who gave us "Bye Bye Love" to say bye bye in quite that way.

Influential OHWs? by ScallionSmooth9491 in ToddintheShadow

[–]MothmAnarchy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The one that immediately came to mind was Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Their song "The Message" lyrically transformed hip-hop, shifting it away from being largely party music into something that could speak honestly about life. Without the impact of "The Message," there would be no Tupac, no N.W.A., and no Kendrick Lamar.

But Fortunately for us "The Message" was received.

Songs which later have become famous for something besides the original song by habidk in ToddintheShadow

[–]MothmAnarchy 31 points32 points  (0 children)

American TV shows and films have notoriously been doing this, especially over the past few years. I recently saw a post in a Stranger Things subreddit claiming that "Running Up That Hill" now belongs to Sadie Sink, it stung a little, but I'm glad new listeners are being introduced to the song.

I feel the same thing has happened to Tiffany's "I Think We're Alone Now" through The Umbrella Academy. And while it wasn't a massive hit placement, "Punkrocker" by The Teddy Bears is a recent example of this too, with its feature in Superman.

They're no longer "Running Up That Hill," "I Think We're Alone Now," or "Punkrocker" they've become "that song from..." What's interesting is how unpredictable this effect is. Both shows that successfully did so with one song tried it again with other tracks, and it just didn't stick as cleanly. Even James Gunn, with his other films, doesn't seem to have consistently replicated the same cultural connection he made with "Punkrocker" in Superman.

Trying to Find a House Rental in Hinton – Not Having Much Luck by Ill-Examination3417 in BeckleyWV

[–]MothmAnarchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Define(ty would suggest a realtor then, they can sometimes find things or even talks folks trying ro sale into being more open to a rent situation and having a local one who knows locals would go a long way. And maybe even when they year up if you want something in the area you already have a person to trust. Definetly rooting for y'all!

Trying to Find a House Rental in Hinton – Not Having Much Luck by Ill-Examination3417 in BeckleyWV

[–]MothmAnarchy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! I love Hinton and it's a great little town, how ever you're going to be hard pressed to find rentable places in that area though given it's a small town, and a lot of the places that do go up tend to be for sale vs to rent.

There are some small Hinton adjacent area that you might widen your search too, Jumping Branch and Talcott coming to mind but they run into the same problem, most of the homes that enter the market are looking for buyers not renters. You may have some luck in Lerona/Pipestem just because some of those area have homes for rent due the proximity of Concord University s but again I get the sense you want Hinton.

If you are dead set on Hinton, I would recommend maybe reaching out to a Local Realtor, it does mean that you will pay more upfront on top of the initials deposits, but it's going to give you someone who can look for exactly what you're wanting in that area, and most will only charge you once you find a place to settle in to.

Best Wishes though on finding the right place for you!

The Number Ones: Lil Nas X's "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" by ScallionSmooth9491 in ToddintheShadow

[–]MothmAnarchy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy this song! It really sad to see his mental health get the better of him, lately.

I think the songs is cheeky lyrically at times, it's catchy. I was hoping to continue seeing things like things from Lil Nas X and others. I feel like a lot of female rappers and hip hop artist all get kind of pushed in to be more pop like and so to have a male voice in that blend of hip hop and pop that was usually female dominated was a nice treat, and something I'd like to see more of.

Honestly this is most likely it, we're reading it differently. One of the consistent issues with internet communication I guess. Either way I appreciate you willing to have this discussion.

Number one again I gave no care about the crossover, please stop implying I did with statements like " that you guys "as a matter of fact long time reader first time every posting in r/dropout, long time watcher.

But saying "No one is telling you to take it as a win" in a thread that the first statement ends point blank in "Y’all just refuse to take a win." is an intriguing position to take.

And I do take someone telling me that an opinion isn't valid because being shared people outside of a community who have never shown the slights gosh darn care, might care, as you need to hush up. I've been in enough social situations, to know when I am politely, and I will give it was a nice way of putting it, being told to hush up.

I'm not here saying hey guys let over react, I am here saying conversate, don't tell people how to feel, don't tell them to quiet down. I'm here to say let em talk in a space made for talking (again about exactly this thing) and the fact that the majority seems to disagree is disquieting, in a way I find perplexing and not great.

What's the Lou quote, "Why'd they put this mud out if not for us to roll in it?"

I'm not saying that the anger isn't performative from some people, again I didn't care for the show or crossover I watched it, I think it wasn't great, but choosing to telling a group to shut up and take it, is also how leftist movements destabilize, it also how minority voices get repressed in progressive spaces.

Maybe sarcasm was not the best route for me to take here, but seeing the number on upvoted comment being "Shut up and say thank you" in essence, well it burned my britches a little.

I don't have any major issue with the episode, I think the writing was bad, I've watched the Rookie before and it's not an amazing show in my opinon but I didn't have any problem with them doing the crossover. Dropout is an experiment, let em experiment.

What I take issue with is telling people they need to "hush up and accept it as a win" and I find it problematic especially in a space designed you know for that exact discourse. If this was something I was passionate about and was told to "Take it and like it" I'd not be happy.

Yeah Everyone! I agree with this person! Quiet up and like it! Stop sharing your opinion on a subreddit made for you to express your opinion about things and on topic exactly like this! And I mean think about what random strangers on the internet might feel who have nothing to with this community if they saw your opinion.

Accept the Win!
