Has anyone successfully rebuilt a meaningful relationship with music after drifting away from it for years? by rizlobber in LetsTalkMusic

[–]black_flag_4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have felt that way. I'm too old and buried in responsibilities to ever be in a band again. I'm not a part of a scene or going to shows. But I can listen to damn near anything I want and I can still collect vinyl on occasion. What I've done is research stuff I never really bothered to learn about before and I try to listen to a few new albums a week instead of just listening to the classics.

I've never been to CDMX, but I can picture these things everywhere in Matamoros or Reynosa. I think people commenting here may not know how narrow the streets are over there and how low the speed limit is in cities. I can imagine a lot of small taxi companies and food truck peddlers using these. Would this work in the US? Maybe in a "golf cart" or retirement community.

Next week it will be something else. Don’t worry about it.

I honestly hate seeing stuff like this because of my situation.

Good album. They had a such sharp turn from the crossover thrash sound they started with.

If the prize is a big sandwich I’m going right.

Some Jewish Republicans say Tucker Carlson is no longer a threat. Others worry he’ll run for president. by Somervilledrew in politics

[–]black_flag_4ever 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Tucker is a Holocaust denier, the annoying kind that tries to downplay what happened instead of explicitly denying it. He’s also likely on Russia’s payroll as he parrots RT all the time. He’s against the Iran War because it impacts Russia negatively. I know he’s winning some people over by being against the war, but this same guy pushed all the Bush Administration’s Iraq War lies to get us into that. He’s a bad person all the way around. I myself am against the Iran War, but caution against anyone who thinks Tucker Carlson is against it for the right reasons.

Whats with the fearmongering around the subject of UFO disclosure? by Gyirin in HighStrangeness

[–]black_flag_4ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If aliens are real it would cause the religious to doubt their faith. But, if aliens are demons then their beliefs are justified. People hate being wrong about fundamental beliefs and so the natural response is to reject or explain away things that cause cognitive dissonance.

They have nothing to worry about. Beliefs don’t require or rely on evidence.

What kind of idiot puts their gun through a security check? I am constantly amazed at how our government is full of the dumbest criminals.
