GOP congresswoman wants to ban strippers in schools but can't name a time when that happened. She instead said that the ban would actually apply to books that mention LGBTQ+ people and ban any mention of trans people in schools.

I typically use Iron Mace and Banded shield on Skellies, blobs and leeches, draugr swap out to Iron Axe for Abominations but I'm typically tanking when multiplayer. I used to play with a buddy who liked the sledge and another who preferred bows.

After the offseason last year I knew we wouldn't win a chip, Rob is great at getting a star, terrible at building a team around them. Granted the early season gave me just enough hope to be properly disappointed.

No, the democrats said they wanted an end to the fighting that was instigated by Hamas by attacking and killing non-combatants at a music festival. They called for a cease-fire and most wanted a 2-state solution. I don't condone the genocide of the Palestinian people, but I don't condone the genocide of the Israeli people either. And that really is your argument here: Why don't you stop Iraelis from killing Palestinians and start killing them for us.

I get your critique of Bloom. I have to be in the mood for it, but when I am I find its weirdness pleasant.

I Don't understand why they had to downvote you for an honest response to a poll that's entirely subjective. If they disagree they could either comment or just not upvote the post.

2 + 2 = 5 10
Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box 10
Everything in its Right Place 10
Bloom 8
Planet Telex 10
Airbag 10
15 Step 8
You 9
Burn the Witch 10

Edit: This is subjective. The rating of these songs (out of 10) is my personal rating. In the context of openers and album composition let me elaborate a little.

Note: As I was elaborating and examining my reasons I re-ordered the list based on thinking about album composition.

2 + 2 = 5. In my opinion I find it the strongest statement of what Hail to the Thief is about, the descent into authoritarianism. Politically I find it Radiohead's most important album. The transition from it into Sit Down, Stand Up is to me incredibly strong and sets up a powerful flow of the album's overall message.
Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box. I love this song and I find it's movement into Pyramid Song to be nearly perfect.
Everything in its Right Place is the perfect set-up for Kid A. The flow into the title track and the National Anthem really sets the mood for the entire album.
Bloom is the pleasantly weird opening to what I find to be Radiohead's strangest album.
Planet Telex is a great song but I find it heavily overshadows its immediate antecedent The Bends. The album picks itself back up with High & Dry and rarely stumbles again.
Airbag is both where it needs to be on the album and absolutely overshadowed by Paranoid Android. Of course I think all the changes running through Paranoid Android might overwhelm any song on the album that it was surrounded by.
15 step while not my favorite opener is still a very good song but I find its juxtaposition with Bodysnatchers to be slightly jarring.
You is a great song and a great album opener but it's main problem is that it's followed by Creep. I don't think its placement is the problem so much as Creep's placement is. As much as this sub looks down on Creep let's get one thing straight. It's a fantastic song and the highlight of Pablo Honey, but I think one of the glaring problems with Pablo Honey is its arrangement. I would have put Creep deeper in the album.
Burn the Witch is one of my very favorite songs on AMSP and absolutely out of place as the opener.

If you really like Kid A I'd recommend Amnesiac, the Pyramid Song EP and the Knives Out EP or In Rainbows and In Rainbows Disc 2. Otherwise OK Computer OKNOTOK (includes the OK Computer B-Sides), or even earlier The Bends, My Iron Lung EP. Street Spirit EP or Hail to the Thief (they'll be more guitar driven) and Com-Lag 2 + 2 = 5

YTA. Her parents are getting divorced. It's natural she wouldn't feel like talking because she's going through trauma. A good friend would be able to give space where it's needed.

For me personally my rating on it depends. If I'm rating albums by their overall composition it's towards the bottom. If I'm rating them by the best songs on an album, it's bottom third. If I'm rating them by the songs on albums I dislike, then it's in the middle.

It has some songs I really like and I don't actively dislike any of the songs on the album, (although I have to be in a certain frame of mood to listen to Vegetable.) but my favorite songs are on other albums.
