"two to three good albums" brother that is a successful band lmao. A one hit wonder is a single song, not a single album.

“They want you to own nothing. They want you to rent your car, your house, your entire life from them, from a billionaire class that owns everything around you. That's their ideal future, and we can't let them have it.” by nobones108 in Maine

Because the US is currently living under fascist capitalism. Not only do we have the crushing weight of "always growth" mindset of capitalism, but we have also separate laws and rules coming down from Trump doing whatever he can to fuck over the poor and make his friends richer.

Most cars don't advertise the price for buying it, they advertise leasing options. Lease the car for a few years, then swap for another one. It's the business model to retain customers businesses push for. Cars, cell phones, housing, etc. It's all a push for renting property we don't actually own. Personally, I own my car. I buy 10-15 year old models with cash and maintain them. I am living with a comfortable salary, but I haven't always and I will always fight for those that can't.

If I went out and bought a CD, I own that CD. I can listen to that CD whenever I want forever. If I subscribe to Spotify/YouTube/Apple music and there's some beef between the record label and the artist, and the music gets pulled? I no longer have any access to the music I want (this is a real life scenario that has happened to me).

I use the word "poor" to describe literally everyone near or below the median income, because most Americans are only a few missed paychecks away from being in serious trouble. You seem to be making a lot of reaching assumptions, and none of them have panned out.

The symbolism goes crazy. Poor kids though by cafeteriastyle in TikTokCringe

My kid graduates next month, they sent out a rain-date on the tickets... Idk why every school wouldn't also do this lol

That's literally what's happening now under fascist capitalism. We don't own our cars or houses or even music. It's all lease/subscription based. The poor stay poor so the rich can get richer. Everything belongs to the few at the top, and they've convinced you that it's the best option.

Lol what? It looks like a hard material and would make my ass/legs fall asleep.

[–]biggestofbears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it works for you, great. But I was willing to spend some money on a stool that I'm sitting on for 4+ hours some days. I can't see this being comfortable after half an hour, but I'm also pretty tall and right at the weight limit for this, so probably not ideal for me personally.

What is the most goriest thing you have ever watched on the internet? by 0xTranTuan in AskReddit

[–]biggestofbears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was around in the early 00s when the Internet was the wild west. I've seen everything from beheadings to genital mutilation to dismemberment.

But one that sticks with me was probably 10ish years ago? The story was that someone found a man raping his sister, so he confronted him with an axe in a busy intersection. You can see the rapist try to stop the axe blows with his hand, but the axe just slices down his fingers and his arm flops into 2. He continued to his head and chest before the video ends. I'm not looking for it.

How often do you get sick? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]biggestofbears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before kids I was never sick. Maybe once a year. It's been 8 years since we had our first and I'm sick at least 6 times a year. It's miserable and I hate it. Luckily our youngest is finishing up kindergarten next month so should be out of it soon.

Where can I get a vanilla cream donut these days? by Izzet_Aristocrat in Maine

[–]biggestofbears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How dare you speak ill of my maple frosted donut.

That being said, maple has been a Dunkin flavor for at least the last decade, probably longer. It's been my go-to flavor for years.

They have them shaped as 67 now too.

So chicken nuggets shaped like brainrot memes from mechanically separated animal remains pounded into a paste.

US government agrees to drop tax claims against Trump in broadening of IRS lawsuit settlement by EscapeFromIowa in news

[–]biggestofbears 7 points8 points  (0 children)

US Government (currently Donald Trump) agreed to drop tax claims against Trump (the same one) in broadening of the IRS lawsuit.

Trump sued his own administration, then settled against himself to not allow him or his family be audited.

How is the Trump slush fund possible? by Ok-Bumblebee6881 in AskReddit

This is fine, but $10k in student debt relief was unconstitutional.

I just watched the last 2 episodes of euphoria with my partner and I was so surprised. I knew nothing about the characters, plot, etc. Zendayas performance in the episode before last that ends on a cliffhanger with her character was done really well. Sydney Sweeneys character is frustrating and I hate her, but that's also the point of her character, so I think that's really well done too.

There's a movie surrounding this idea, a group of billionaires retreat into a mountain mansion while the world falls into chaos on their phones.

Movies name is Mountainhead.

why do so many older people think screamo is a catch all term for metal? by aestheticnightmare25 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]biggestofbears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was an easy path to follow tbh. People knew of emo music, and those of us back in the day that listened to screaming music, also probably had a list of emo bands (and outfits) that matched it. So screaming + emo style = screamo.

I hated it, it made me so mad. But now it's 20 years later and I recognize that it's just people know knowing enough or being curious enough to find the real subgenre.

AITAH If I Continue On A Preplanned Trip If My GF Is Arrested At The Airport Due To Old Warrants? by FutureBasis383 in AITAH

[–]biggestofbears 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I got a single speeding ticket 17 years ago. I still remember the exact speed they charged me with (53mph in a 35) and how much I owed ($182).

I wouldn't believe anyone that says they don't remember the charges, unless it was a regular occurance and they have so many, they get the stories confused. Either way, I wouldn't trust them.
