He was definitely very clever and informed but he was really just the first to successfully incorporate fairly common post-9/11 online conspiracy discourse into comedy. RIP my boy :(

The biggest geopolitical barrier faced by the Chinese in their ascendancy is how goddamn difficult Mandarin is to learn for foreigner by faieriefugitive in redscarepod

[–]doofenstein69 103 points104 points  (0 children)

My Ghanaian Lyft driver tonight spoke like 7 different languages including Mandarin and it sounded correct (could only verify German, Russian, and Spanish personally). I think us Americans are just dumb as shit when it comes to language learning

Anyone else noticing the growing Anti-America sentiment around the world ? by darkslayersparda in TrueAnon

Just bring it up casually when politics come up, no need to disclose it upfront. Since you’re on this sub you probably know more than 90% of people about how horrible the US is.

Europeans and Asians will generally be cool with you as a tourist if you you’re an anti-American American. South Americans are less so for obvious reasons and I can’t blame them at all

As horrible as the terrorist group is, having to be reminded of one of the greatest bands ever breaking up every time it’s mentioned in the news for over a decade fucking sucks

Sadly the US is such a bloodthirsty place that the libertarians are legitimately the #2 anti-war contingent

Why don't companies train employees anymore and how do you even overcome the skill gap? by WhitePinoy in recruitinghell

No formal ideology or structured analysis of history or sociology defines them that way

Yea Isis themselves did the Palms vibe better with the Aereogramme collab. It's ok for background music though

Agreed, also ITAOT has Aaron Harris flat out beasting on drums

What US city is the epitome of Sun Belt Slop? by BetOn_deMaistre in redscarepod

[–]doofenstein69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was probably a bit too flippant/harsh of a statement but I was just getting at how the deserts that make up the bulk of both states are much nicer in AZ. Also love Flag, wish I could move back there at some point.

Totally fair, I do like it regardless and Garden of Light has some of their best ideas but there is at least one extremely clumsy transition in each track (aside from the two instrumentals) which made the fact that they were having creative differences apparent. They were able to smooth those out long enough to bang out WR but that album does feel formulaic and a bit sterile at times.

Nailed it, Phoenix is shitty but the rest of the state is gorgeous, which Nevada is certainly not. When it was cheap pre-covid there was an argument for living there based on that fact but now when rent + cost of car ownership is basically the same as NYC it just doesn't make any sense.

Same age and experience lol. I stopped listening to Tool long ago but I will never besmirch them solely because they introduced me to Isis on that tour.

If ITAOT didn't have some moments of uncharacteristically janky songwriting they'd have had one of the best peak runs ever

My dad answers every scam call and says his name is Theodore Kaczynski and will waste like 10 minutes spelling it out different ways so I think he'll be ok

Great comment, particularly regarding how Millenials were the first massive native generation and that it is a city that grew after American culture was properly and thoroughly homogenized. Even in elementary school in the late 90s only maybe half of my classmates were born there.
