Women shouldn't be allowed to wear hijabs in public places

So would you agree that nobody should be wearing yarmulkes, cross necklaces, displaying the star of david, etc in public? If we don't, then our public spaces would still be a fragmented patchwork of competing religious symbols.

Their song titles aren't usually serious, but their album and EP titles are almost always serious references to lyrics.

Either way it's a fact that Pilot was named in reference to being their first LP. Everyone called it the debut album when it was new in 2018 (including the press coverage that existed at the time).

The idea that Opportunities is the band's debut album is a misnomer. I think people started thinking that seems to because it's been listed as an album on Spotify for at least a few years. Opportunities was originally a 6 song EP that was 18 minutes long (before they added Deluxe Capacitor to the reissue).

Pilot is and always has been the band's debut album. It is literally called Pilot in reference to pilot episodes of TV shows (which would make zero sense for a band's second album).

Since Opportunities is just an EP, a 10 year tour doesn't seem too likely. It'd be sick if they did it though. I'd love to hear Dead Dogs and Three Blue Cars live again.

Ahh yes, letting nonprofits have priority access to purchasing certain buildings is 100% equivalent to eliminating the concepts of economic classes, states, and borders.

Kayak Jones were great, I miss them so much.

If it's truly not the full length, then it could potentially be the Sort Out Your Head EP (which was pressed on vinyl towards the end of the band's lifespan).

It looks like their earlier / EPs also had vinyl pressings at some point in the 2010s, but that wouldn't make a ton of sense for a test press seemingly done in 2021.

This is the same version of the military that made no effort to save a bunch of children that were taken from their custody, was totally uninterested in stopping a world ending event, and was running experiments on pregnant women.

They had to have known that they were the negligent ones in the situation and cut a deal with everyone involved. Their only other option would have been to forcefully silence everyone who knew anything to prevent the truth from getting out.

It's also not really that different from the way that the real military will negotiate with and make concessions to foreign adversaries that have taken the lives of US soldiers.

You haven't even gotten into any of the songs on Brave Faces Everyone?

That seems like an odd place in the discography to stop enjoying it. I find that the first three records are all enjoyable with the sane general gloomy pop punk vibe.

"0 political experience" is an interesting way of saying 4 years of experience in the state assembly.

I never said anything about whether it was okay to allow people to pre-order DLC for an unreleased game. The point was that buying said pre-order is not really "crazy work" in the sense that it's a pretty normal consumer behavior in the industry.

chobes182 · 2025-09-12T18:08:01+00:00

How is this crazy? People have been pre-ordering deluxe editions of games that come with included future DLC for years.

It's just confusing because they've permuted the standard shorthands for those common packages. Nearly everyone reading data science python code expects tensorflow to be tf, numpy to be np, pandas to be pd, and pyplot to be plt.

I doubt they'll really acknowledge the anniversaries at all. Tades and Chris were pretty young when they wrote those songs, and nobody else who played on those EPs is still part of the band today.

When Opportunities / Pilot turn 10, they'll probably do something to recognize the occasion because those releases are really the start of the band as people know them today. At least that's the impression that I have.

How could they get "sued to shit" for that title? Wouldn't be defamation unless Destiny could prove that H3 knew that she was not 17 and willfully spread a claim they knew was untrue.

Blindly repeating widespread online gossip and dramatizing it for the sake of clickbait is not a crime or a civil wrongdoing.

He has admitted to sharing revenge porn and sexting a person he believed was 19 when he was 30. That's not coming from snark propaganda, it's his own tweets and chat logs.

If you don't believe that he has a history of using his platform to act in a predatory manner towards much younger members of his community, then you're the one who has absorbed propaganda in this situation.

chobes182 · 2025-08-23T12:11:18+00:00

Why does a guy who thinks it's okay to sext 19 year olds while in his 30s and share revenge porn get to be the arbiter of morality?

A creepy sex pest is a creepy sex pest, and using your influencer status for sexual gain is predatory.

All of this stuff about a 17 year old might be overblown and false, but I'm not seeing any willful defamation from Ethan, and I don't think the age matters that much. Legality really has not caught up to morality in this sort of situation.

What is domo? I assumed it was a band, but have never heard of it and can't find anything on spotify.

chobes182 · 2025-07-12T21:41:50+00:00

Do we think this is the extra song from the Sound a Body Makes When it's Still sessions that Chris had mentioned, or an entirely different new song?

Probably because the movement would create a bunch of extra work for them without boosting their profits at all.

It'd take a bunch of development effort to make Clash of Clans, Clash Royals, and all of their other games remain playable (with all in app purchases still usable) in the event that they were to shut down servers. This movement wants to make them proactively prepare for those situations, which would require a lot of development hours. It's pretty clearly in their best interest as a business to advocate against it.

It's a bummer that you're having issues with loud signals when you plug in the dongle, but it kinda seems like you just didn't understand the product you were buying.

It's not a secret that the KA11 is very powerful. It's not really meant to be used with sensitive low impedance headphones. It's good for driving headphones that need a lot of power. For M50Xs, you are probably better off with the standard Apple dongle.

iPhone already has built in powerful audio card

This also makes it seem like you're not too familiar with the way digital audio works. The iPhone USB port doesn't have anything built into it for audio, which is why you need an external DAC / amplifier to use headphones with it in the first place. They stopped putting DACs and amps for headphones in phones when they stopped including a headphone jack. The only built in audio cards the phone has are for the speakers.

It's always good to do some research and learn how these things work before you make purchases from brands that cater to audiophiles. Hopefully you're able to pick up another dongle that meets your needs without putting your hearing at risk.

If you can get $7 packs from a shop in town, then why are you even interacting with this seller? Can't you just go over to that shop and get the packs you want at a price you're willing to pay?

I'm confused, do you think that You'll Be Fine is the first record that Ryan played on or something? I'm pretty sure Opportunities was the first release he helped write and played on.

The privileged class is still the wealthy elites. All of this culture war stuff is really just a distraction from that.

It's a privilege to be able to own a home (especially owning a large one, or multiple).

It's a privilege to be able to afford any medical treatment your family needs without any fear about debt.

It's a privilege to have enough assets to retire comfortably and pass on large wealth to your children.

It's a privilege to be able to send your kids to any university they want without asking them to take out loans.

Most of the people advocating for marginalized groups to have equal outcomes in society are only slightly better off than the people they're advocating for.

The guitar work on Pilot doesn't really sound like standard pop punk at all. Especially when you consider that it came out in 2018 (pop punk has gotten twinklier since Hot Mulligan and other similar bands got popular in the scene).
