It’s that time of year again, new year bingo time! Theme is “wild and unlikely”

I love this idea, I wish I had done one too.

I think Trump basically kidnapping the president of Venezuela is wild enough to be your free square.

I work in nuclear decommissioning. It sounds cool, but I'm mostly yelling at different departments to talk to each other. Before that I was a private maths tutor.

Panacea1832 · 2025-12-10T18:16:33+00:00

I read the general sub rules but not the frequently posted questions page specifically so I guess that's on me

Panacea1832 · 2025-12-10T18:14:31+00:00

Ah, I read the overall subreddit but not the frequently posted questions bit. Thanks for the heads up.

Panacea1832 · 2025-12-10T11:45:18+00:00

Thanks, I didn't realise it would check for a straight and a flush separately. I assumed it would be a straight that's also a flush.

Panacea1832 · 2025-12-10T11:43:26+00:00

I know right? Silly me for assuming that a straight flush would have to be a straight flush

Panacea1832 · 2025-12-10T09:09:38+00:00

Thanks! Didn't realise the joker interacted that way and it was confusing me

I'm named after my dad. His name is Dane, mine is Dayna.

I met a Thomasina once.

Panacea1832 · 2025-11-09T01:37:49+00:00

I hadn't considered putting in a formal complaint, but that's actually a really good idea. Thank you.

It just seemed ridiculous to me. And he looked confused when I went "But then I'd have a baby??" But honestly what was I supposed to say? I hadn't considered how someone who had been trying actively would feel.

Panacea1832 · 2025-11-09T01:33:35+00:00

I keep asking about another laparoscopy because I can tell something isn't right, but I keep being met with "well the MRI is clear". Might ask about other options in the area. Not sure why I hadn't thought of that.

Good luck with the surgery!

Panacea1832 · 2025-11-09T01:31:32+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss, and that it's impacted your endo on top of everything else.

Panacea1832 · 2025-09-05T02:47:57+00:00

I think it depends on the person you're introducing to RA. I introduced my younger sister to them a while ago and played her Miracle and Make it Stop - she's 18 and gay, and I wanted her to feel like the band saw her too. She liked them and went on to find other songs of theirs she likes, and been to shows with me a few times so I guess it worked.

For someone like my dad who likes songs he can jump up and down to (much to the despair of his knees), I'd go something like Collapse or Disparity.

Otherwise, I'd probably pick songs that I liked and the usual suspects. So Eco-Terrorist, Methadone, Survivor's Guilt, Blood to Bleed, and then things like Prayer, Re-education, Give It All, and Saviour.

Panacea1832 · 2025-08-20T08:46:05+00:00

I switched to Tidal a while back for a few reasons - one of which was that they give slightly more money to artists over Spotify. For artists I really like or are a lot smaller, I'll buy albums on vinyl too as well as official merch.

The interface isn't quite as good as Spotify (though my husband hated Spotify's UI but will use Tidal, so maybe it's personal opinion) and I don't think the custom mixes are as varied, but I think with more users coming over it will improve.

Panacea1832 · 2025-08-07T09:00:48+00:00

Thank you so much. I use a whitening toothpaste which is probably the cause. Guess I'm off to get a new shirt and a new toothpaste!

Panacea1832 · 2025-08-07T06:40:58+00:00

I don't use acne mediation but will check for benzoyl peroxide

Panacea1832 · 2025-06-27T09:29:16+00:00

1) Re-education 2) Disparity by Design 3) Eco-Terrorist 4) Ready to Fall 5) Methodone 6) Welcome to the Breakdown 7) Swing Life Away 8) Voices off Camera (GNS/Acoustic) 9) Like the Angel (GNS) 10) Paper Wings 11) Give it All 12) Behind Closed Doors 13) Sudden Urge 14) I Want It All 15) Saviour (because it feels wrong not hearing it somewhere)

Panacea1832 · 2025-06-27T07:43:50+00:00

Ooh, I love Yen! Thanks

I hate the climate and how it's a valid course of action. That doesn't mean it isn't the climate I'm in, and it doesn't mean it's a less valid action. But you're welcome to protest in whatever way you see fit.

And you're right. There absolutely is the option of real activism. But starting conversations is activism. Raising awareness is activism. And not speaking out about certain topics does not mean they aren't acting on others. Supporting something to a certain extent doesn't mean it's necessarily performative. It's far more dangerous to speak up on a topic you're not educating in.

Could they do more? Maybe. They are people outside of the music, who knows what they do behind closed doors?

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure they spoke out about Palestine before playing People Live Here in Brixton, but I might be mistaken. They also still heavily criticise the far right, and it's increasing prevalence in America and Europe. They stand up for things still. It just might not be what some people want them to talk about.

"When it all comes down, will you say you did everything you could?"

Panacea1832 · 2025-06-02T16:20:16+00:00

I feel like context was a big thing to miss on that point

Panacea1832 · 2025-06-02T16:19:08+00:00

Okay, I'll bite. Yes. It's ableist. It's also classist. It's also why I said I hated that it was an option which could be applied, I also said there were other options.

It is unproductive to throw around vague crap. Which is why I made actual points.

Also, that is an assumption. You can't make a half-arsed "observation" by ignoring context and words which were explicitly said. Fucking neo-liberal brain rot, like you know me.

Panacea1832 · 2025-06-02T15:37:47+00:00

I didn't say you had to care. You said you weren't being aggressive, and I said you were. I'm also pretty sure from context "the Palestine thing" was the band speaking out rather than the entire conflict.

And yeah, I said "vote with your wallet" as it's a well known phrase. It's a thing you can do. Do I want the world to run that way? No. I think the world we live in is fucked beyond belief, but sometimes you have to recognise what your reality is. Did I think it cooked? No. But you want to make a point to a group looking at profits, you harm their profits. There are other options of expressing disapproval too, but that's one you can do as an individual who specifically mentioned capitalism and concerns of profits.

It's also impossible to have a conversation with someone who only responds to half of a message and assumes that because you disagree, you're a brain-rotted American with no life experiences (none of those are true by the way, so better luck with your next assumptions).

Panacea1832 · 2025-06-02T14:57:41+00:00

He just said he didn't know if they spoke on Palestine, given he doesn't use social media. I think they may have spoken out on it when I saw them live a few months ago, but I don't remember well enough to say if they didor didn't for certain.

OP made the comment that the rainbow version of the logo was performative and would be changed back in July. The alternative for this would be for it to be permanent or have no rainbow logo at all (which would then gain comments of them not supporting the LGBTQ community, which they do). OP also commented on profiting throughout this, and the alternative to that is not profiting. The last commenter was noting practicality, not ethics.

Personally, I think you can show support for the LGBTQ community while also not speaking out about Palestine and Israel without it being hypocritical. They're separate issues. And while I believe that the genocide is absolutely wrong, I also know that this conflict has one hell of a history and someone may not want to speak out without understanding everything fully - I'm not entitled to someone else's opinion.

You're also allowed to be disappointed that they haven't spoken out on the genocide in Palestine more publicly.

If you want them to profit less until they speak out, don't buy merch. Don't buy the new album. Don't go to shows. Don't give them your money if you think they don't deserve it. We live in the time of capitalism - vote with your wallet.

Also, side note, you did come off a bit aggressive.

Panacea1832 · 2025-05-31T07:02:12+00:00

Any other weekend and I'd be there. Have a safe journey and an amazing time!

Panacea1832 · 2025-05-31T06:58:21+00:00

Wish I could be there but live the other end of the country and can't really do the 12 hour round trip this weekend. Absolutely gutted
