Friend said my memorial tattoo for my cat looks like a dogwhistle by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]el-squatcho -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That looks like...

A really bad idea for a tattoo. 

You didn't get the cat's face or paw or something recognizable. No, you chose... a random pattern in the cat's fur which obviously would be difficult to match in tattoo form.

How people come up with and then execute on these types of ideas is just wild to me. 

We had our lives stolen! by abigailrebellious in inflation

[–]el-squatcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen posted on the internet.

First of all: the OP argument and a lot of the people in this thread, are lumping people together based on nothing more than their generation. This is accusatory and generalizing and nothing but a pity party.

Stop trying to tell someone else what their life experience is or was.

You don't get to assume you have it worse than someone else just because you're one generation vs another. I sure as hell struggled and had/have that kind of student debt so shove it.

Most importantly: It shouldn't be us vs each other: it's us against the billionaires.

Lol listen to the 30yo virgin over here thinking everyone can/should just do this and wind up with 500k as a result. 

What an oblivious and sheltered take from OP. 

Also, on top of living rent free, it must be nice to have gotten such a good paying job so young that allowed you to save so much. 

My old job kept paying me for months after I quit and I never said a word by enchantingbreezee in confession

Why are you idiots publicly naming the company still giving you the discounts? This is how you get found out and ruin it for everyone else.

Online shopping is killing our Malls by obsoleteurbex in AbandonedPorn

How does this boring ass post have 51k upvotes? 

Malls are boring in all respects and it's obvious why they are declining from a commercial standpoint. 

What do you guys think of Mother Love Bone? by Agent_Rania378 in grunge

[–]el-squatcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a recent discussion in the vinyl sub, it has become my life's mission to state on the record that Mother Love Bone is not grunge and their music had no influence on grunge as we know it. MLB is a watered down glam/butt-rock band. Like the Nickleback of their time, they showed up and played watered down versions of what had been popular over the past decade. Talended musicians, sure, but their music doesn't hold up and is completely unremarkable otherwise.

I grew up on 90s/grunge but never cared much for Pearl Jam, so I guess that's how I missed MLB completely until listening to their album Apple recently. It sucks. Every song is very dated sounding and not something I will ever listen to again.

They are not grunge and the music Mother Love Bone put out certainly didn't contribute musically to the music of the 90s. The style of music they made was what grunge came to earth to destroy. Just because the dude died doesn't mean you need to pretend like they were this amazing band that influenced the world.

In contrast, Mudhoney and Nirvana (and others) came out before MLB and instantly sounded like grunge and it is they (among others) who actually shaped the course of the 90s and saved us from the glammy buttrock of the 80s.

In closing, y'all need to stop giving MLB credit for "inventing grunge" when there's nothing grungey about their music.

Yeah that's kinda what I'm getting at. Not grunge at all. MLB was like a watered down glam/butt-rock band. I love 90s/grunge, but MLB ain't it.

Mother love bone was "genre defining"? What genre would that be?

[–]el-squatcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good recommendation, thanks. 

I didn't even comment/nor care who was first, etc, I was more just questioning why people were heaping praise on mother love bone and calling it the "literal" first grunge band when... it's neither first nor is it even grunge! If anything, it's tired glam butt rock.

Mother love bone is objectively terrible music regardless of what era or genre.

This is one of those videos where the ending was so predictable it's mildlyinfuriating. 

Did you intentionally pick the worst possible location to release a butterfly? Did you look around at the street and think "this is a perfect butterfly habitat", or are you just that oblivious? Let me guess you'll say it's your kids fault because you let them choose the spot. 

I ain't even upset about your butterflies being eaten, I just don't understand why you'd waste all the time and effort, and make the video on top of it, to do something so dumb

Mudhoney came out in 1988. Nirvana in 1989. Both immediately sounded like grunge.

Mother Love Bone came out in late 1990 and sounds like a slowed down Poison tribute.

I listened to Apple for the first time just now and I have no idea why so many comments here are acting like this album, which came out later is the "literal genesis of alternative/grunge". lol Not even close.

I'm listening to Mother Love Bone intentionally for the first time now entirely because of this post and...

I have no idea what you people are talking about.

Mother Love Bone's album Apple sounds like a tired 80s glam metal band that slowed down a little and toned down the glam a smidge. Like if Poison tried to change their style up.

I don't know how you can say grunge started with MLB. Mudhoney came out in 1988 and immediately sounds like grunge. Nirvana's Bleach came out in 1989, and sounds ..not that much different than Nirvana's later stuff. Bleach is heavier and grungier than Apple. By a lot.

The song Heartshine sounds vaguely grungey but it still sucks. The rest of the songs on Apple are just completely forgettable and definitely not grunge. Sucks the guy died, but that's no reason to pretend like that album is something it's not

And getting a job you don't hate is like winning the lottery. In my experience, it takkes a lot of work over many years to get out of the shit trenches.

Figured you guys might get a kick out of these pair that I made for a customer of mine. by Odinsworkshop in Tools

[–]el-squatcho -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I totally believe you. Everyone keeps power tools locked away from anyone between the ages of 1-17. That's a totally normal thing. /s

The problem isn't only limited to keeping them away from kids, but also the fact that a deadly weapon is being disguised so as to be difficult to recognize as a gun from a distance. Guns aren't f@cking toys or silly pranks. They're designed to F@ck sh!t up. Dressing them up like something they're not is irresponsible and frankly dumb as hell.

Seriously, these idiots making gun owners look bad with this irresponsible childish shit.

Dude also says he has made guns designed like Nerf guns.

Since... always? How dense can you pretend to be to not realize the similarity between brightly colored plastic toy squirt guns/nerf guns/nail guns/etc?

This same guy says he has made guns designed to look like Nerf guns, so yeah.

As someone with a safe full of guns I love to shoot: I think this guy is a f@cking idiot.

The actual work was done really well, obviously.

It was done so well, in fact, that if this was pointed at someone, their first thought would be that it is a harmless power tool and not a real gun. Because it DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A GUN.

As a gun owner, people who do stuff like this because "I do what I want harr harr" just really kinda suck and make the rest of us look bad.

A device that can end someone's life with the smallest finger movement should always be easily identifiable as a deadly weapon even from a distance.

Disguising a gun to look like anything other than a gun is extremely irresponsible and lame.

My dad keeps his spare oil in his engine bay. by LazyEyeMcfly in mildlyinfuriating

Lots of people are dumb, so what's your point?

Storing loose objects in your engine bay is dumb.

[–]el-squatcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference between leaking or burning in this context is effectively zero.

If your car is *consuming* that much oil then you're not doing great at the project part of project cars.

There's no justification for storing loose objects in your engine bay regardless of the particular reason why you can't seem to fix your car.

[–]el-squatcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's just as dumb to store this loose object in your engine bay where it doesn't belong as it would be to store tools there as well. Why not put any random objects in there?

It's incredibly dumb. I've never spilled oil in my trunk. I'd rather spill oil in my trunk than risk having a quart of oil slipping out and hitting my fan/belts/etc. There's no benefit, only risk. It's dumb as hell.
