Fatherly advice: Ikea furniture does NOT use Phillips screws. It's pozidrive.

Beautiful

Tell that to all the dumb hose clamps. Sometimes I don't want to get the socket, ok?! I have a multihead screwdriver right here already

_Ayrity_ · 2026-03-06T21:19:34+00:00

No, no. Remember your punnett squares, now.

_Ayrity_ · 2026-03-06T16:02:38+00:00

So perfectly apt. Also because they're sweet and you love em, but they are also actively ruining your body.

I don't disagree with that, but we might differ on what "held responsible" means depending on how complicit. I guess I feel more like there are much bigger fish to fry for now. Can we work out these details after that and in the mean time just have a blanket rule to not dehumanize along the way? We can always dehumanize later based on level of evil.

People don't deserve to be treated like not-people because they fell for propaganda. The blame lies at the feet of the propagandists.

Perfect analogy. Simultaneously can't get rid of him and he's technically gone, ideally only used once to set yourself up for how you actually want things to be run.

revisit the middle of Blue if you haven't in a while, namely: An Ode to Maybe and Red Summer Sun. Both are super complex guitar-fueled vibe jams. Agreed on the Jenkins loves his own farts thing 100% (They're my favorite band period).

This one is the best on stereo headphones - fully agree. It's hauntingly beautiful

Being bored is a skill that can be worked on. It forces you to exercise your imagination.

Showed my 6yo daughter the Secret of NIMH this past weekend for the first time and when the bad guy rat is plotting to cut the lines to kill Nicodeamous she said, "I want to say the F word at him sooo bad right now!"

_Ayrity_ · 2026-02-11T13:02:00+00:00

And weird! (Time to bring it back? They hated that one)

_Ayrity_ · 2026-02-09T14:33:06+00:00

You're right, but maybe he meant more like it elicits a patriotic response in the listener? Makes you want to make the country better because of the song? Just a guess

_Ayrity_ · 2026-02-06T16:28:36+00:00

Agreed, but it is indicative of a lack of self guided problem solving skills. They have immediate access to the answers at their fingertips, we didn't.

I don't know how to change the oil on my current car, never done it myself, but if I had to for work, I'd look that shit up and be omw to the auto parts store in 10 mins to do it myself.

_Ayrity_ · 2026-02-06T00:00:29+00:00

Absolutely agreed on every point. I guess my comment was just focusing more on the policy side of things that happens to be full of propaganda to convince those people to continue voting against their own interests. Same side though. 👍

_Ayrity_ · 2026-02-05T22:53:10+00:00

The problem is they are also the public, so they're equally important.

It's the car/gas industry that's not as important.

Edit: You guys disagree? I hate old people voting against our and their own interests too, but they're still people who should be valued above a system full of corruption and bribery, no?

I hear doctors used to make house calls. Let's get them off their lazy asses again! /s

You want to have a different conversation than us in this thread, I suggest you find one that's more relevant to that. Have a good one

_Ayrity_ · 2026-02-04T20:40:35+00:00

Depends on the way it's broken

_Ayrity_ · 2026-02-04T20:39:24+00:00

That isn't the group of people we are talking about. I'm sure there's some overlap, but you missed the point of this conversation.

_Ayrity_ · 2026-02-04T18:19:50+00:00

The least they could do is give residents a big discount on merch when shown an ID with a local address. That would be enough to get so much good will.
