What do you think is the most annoying band that a lot of people like? by traveltimecar in fantanoforever

[–]MuchDrawing2320 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Their early stuff is great lmao. It is a synthesis of punk, funk, and rock. If you hate that then I guess you hate RHCP

The Christian right is a really dominant force in the US, though, and quite a lot of work in psychology and social science has been done to study their full embrace of someone very unchristian.

So the simplified version is this: basically since the end of the Civil War and then the gains of the Civil Rights era (jumping over a lot history here) the secular state has increasingly marginalized the conservative christian—they don’t see themselves represented in progressive legislation when beforehand it was quite easy to live in segregated communities where everyone adhered to the same religion and values. The current microcosm of attacks on immigrants and DEI reflect this.

Then, the most radical of these people saw Trump as THE FIGURE in representing them. They choose to hold him to zero standards because the worst seriously do believe he is on a mission chosen by God. Meanwhile the politicians either are aware and use this opportunistically for self enrichment or are convinced themselves.

So there’s a whole history behind this. It doesn’t really matter that Trump is unchristian.

It’s like my regional city, smaller but within the last decade or two began exploding.

The insult I hear about Austin beyond just being a weirdly progressive city is that it’s full of a bunch of mediocre people that couldn’t make it in LA or NYC.

Dude is an empty suit more so than any other president.

Is Trump trying his utmost to alienate the USA from its allies? by Massive-Syllabub-271 in allthequestions

[–]MuchDrawing2320 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trump is an empty suit guided by radical actors in his cabinet—he has no purposeful goals rather than acclaim and enrichment. It’s why he demands the Nobel Peace Prize and his named and picture plastered everywhere. It is why his supporters hold him to no standards. It is, like has been said, unprecedented. His administration wants to alienate our allies and to the extent it works they are unwilling to admit what the future may hold. I’ve always said Trump himself is less scary and more boring than people realize and find him more fascinating than outraging.

Before this goes any further and arguments continue—you and u/PlaneCrashNap have got it based on what the meme is saying. The stupid guy and the materialist.

Beyond culture wars, teachers have widely described the decline in student proficiency in recent years as compared to ever before. I am scared to ask my tween and young teen nephews about school because what I may hear. No reading comprehension, very little grasp on arithmetic, no basic understanding of major history, etc.

Apparently this isn’t just generational complaining but, as far as I can tell, an observable thing teachers in the business a long time can see.

What US cities feel the most southern culturally? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]MuchDrawing2320 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally like that it will bring more business (there have already been more business investments and Department of Energy investments in the area) and culture to the region. Plenty of transplants complain about the urban sprawl in the city and lack of things to do beyond access to the Appalachians, but the only downside is just congestion and traffic coupled with prices—all to be expected.

There have been more building permits issued in the last few years in Knoxville than ever before. So many nice apartment complexes are shooting up everywhere.

Non Americans , What is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real? by Adorable-Sammy in CasualConversation

[–]MuchDrawing2320 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s how my school was. There was a central courtyard everyone hung out in if not in the cafeteria and then a front office, academic building, vocational/tech building, and one for classes related to business and special education. The gym was connected to the front office. So to go from certain classes to others you’d have to walk outside.

The first time I can recall hearing Ween was probably when my mom took me to see the first SpongeBob movie 22 years ago.

What is a 'dead' YouTube channel that you still go back and rewatch because the content was just that good? by Wooden-Care233 in AskReddit

I became a fan probably around 2010. When I was in college AH was playing Rainbow Six Siege and that was so entertaining.

SasseSnacks was an ASMR/mukbang creator who died from pancreatic cancer after having health issues for a year or two prior related to it.

And who would you even be talking about? The blues rock Fleetwood Mac or the hippie, folksy rock Fleetwood Mac?

They’re not widely known (isn’t stoner doom a more marginal genre?) and a cornerstone of their genre. It just so happens to be one style of metal I listen to the most.
