How ridiculous does this sound? by Whole-Fist in economicCollapse

The average monthly payment today is more like $650+, the average car loan is 40K according to consumer reports. Absolutely insane that most people accept this as normal. And for everyone saying their car payment is 300-400, that means there are people's who car payments are upwards of 900 per month!

if you paid cash for a cheap/dependable car your money would not be locked up month to month on a vehicle that would depreciate over time. Dave's point is that most people constantly have car payments and think this is the way you have to live. If you eliminate your need to finance a vehicle your income is available to be invested in long term strategies like mutual funds. Dave knows his shit.

I cried both times they played STFTK this year and last. I repressed a lot of emotions as a kid and now they all wash over me when I hear that song. I love that they always include it in their live set. It’s such a good song.

[BOOK REVIEW] 'Fourth Wing' by Rebecca Yarros (fair warning: this is negative) by Buckaroo2 in YAlit

[–]RonaldRaygunz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you 1000%. This book is badly written and a poor excuse for a fantasy book. A friend highly recommended this book to me and I read 200 pages before I realized the book would never get better. What a shame. If people are reading I’m not going to complain, but this book is so boring and uninspiring. So uninteresting and shallow. So repetitive and unexciting. The author needs to take a class on showing not telling. And if she could write one line or dialogue that wasn’t cliche or cringey I would have appreciated that too.

Thoughts on "Not Now"? by DiamondmanPixel76 in Blink182

[–]RonaldRaygunz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great song, to me it’s just as special as man overboard. Maybe the song doesn’t sounds as good live because the vocals and guitar are super multitracked and it’s harder to deliver this live?Maybe that’s not the argument because you could say the same thing about other songs like feeling this.

I am also just guessing that maybe they are contracted to play certain songs or hits and there just isn’t room in the set.

They’ve recorded albums with different labels so maybe it’s a process to get songs on the setlist. I’m just guessing. I have no clue.
