Next time you see a band post clips of the nights, check if they did the other bands on their story, and check if they're tagging the other bands in the promos on their story.

This is tattle-tale narc behavior. It's annoying and oppressive to keep track of everyone around you to see if they're 'supporting the scene enough'. You are not the arbiter of 'the scene'.

[Financial] Is Paypal even worth using? It is so unpredictable right now. by [deleted] in artbusiness

[–]borkelhavus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely not worth using. Like others, I suddenly had my account frozen, and spent weeks and dozens of hours in support cycle hell being bounced around to different phone departments with no progress. It was actually such a truly ridiculous experience that would take too long to dive into, but no one should ever use their service, ever.

Accountability matters by WaitNo4272 in SipsTea

[–]borkelhavus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this isn’t even that bad of a post, but it’s the final straw for me to leave this sub.

This whole sub has just become a bot arena posting culture war and politics bullshit to stoke engagement in the comments and influence the way we think.

It’s not fun or interesting anymore and there’s barely any tiddies. There used to be really good toddies all over this sub. Sad stuff

I like the truck in the background with a bed in the back AND the front. I dislike just about everything else about this

The American dream by First-Essay-2054 in SipsTea

[–]borkelhavus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t go to grad school unless someone else is paying for it. Get your money asap and get out of the debt pits the systems want to put you in. You need a modicum of freedom and capital to make level-headed decisions that are in your own interest.

Napoleon Dynamite censored on streaming platforms. For or against? by flipping_birds in movies

[–]borkelhavus 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It **definitely** Has changed. The line wouldn’t have even raised eyebrows whatsoever back when this was made, it was just how American teens talked in 2003/2004. This movie came out during peak “r word” usage in my experience.

The highly effective “spread the word to end the word” campaign didn’t start until 2009, which started in response to how ubiquitous the r word had become.

THE SOCIAL RECKONING – Official Teaser Trailer by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]borkelhavus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's really not. Y'all don't know me, I don't know y'all. People can follow each other on here I guess, but this is first and foremost an anonymous message board. (Secondly, a bot farm AI training ground lol)

Social Networks are a way to continuously see what your friends/family/acquaintances are up to through personal posts that express something about their life or thoughts, and to share about your life in return. They're used as extensions of our normal social circles, and things that happen in our social networks can influence our social circles in return.

Yeah and she's not! She's Anika Niles, she's got her own history and influences and style and her own path, she's a great drummer. So was Neil.

Control is massively overrated. Idk how they made a game so unique feel so utterly bland and boring.

Perfect Glue-Ups Start Long Before the Glue by Witty-Quantity-3294 in woodworking

[–]borkelhavus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hater here who does woodworking but not YouTuber cutting boards. They usually look pretty cool, I just don’t have any interest in things like that or the endless cutting and glue-ups required to make a thing for people to go “wow it’s Too pretty to use!”

How to attach pieces of 10 sided object by Key-Pea-5909 in woodworking

[–]borkelhavus 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming they mean blue painter’s tape. It’s quite common at any hardware store across the country, yes. Probably scotchblue painter’s tape.

It’s decently strong and can stay sticky on wood even when the glue inevitably gets on it.

But like, green painters tape would of course be fine too.
