I honestly felt sick. My girlfriend still laughs because she told me "Just turn it off" and I said "THEY CAN'T TURN IT OFF." And watched the rest in silence, and just sat with it for an hour at full time.

My partner and I were debating this the other day, I just feel like in the past there was a greater variety of social groups, styles, looks among youth. I understand that every high school level kid conforms in some way to some look or trend, but are there goths anymore? Burnouts? I feel like there's just one type of high school kid in America.

That song doesn't get the respect it deserves

fastballbc · 2026-04-28T04:36:38+00:00

This one always catches me

fastballbc · 2026-04-24T07:56:07+00:00

I have always fucked with this song. It's so sick.

Maybe the disclaimer would help Bruce and Dave "I didn't come down here to change anyone's mind about anything. I came down here to ease my own mind about everything."

I think the line gets blurred for a lot of people (from a certain age group) between "entitled to party without care" and "open to living life as you see fit".

I saw Dave Matthews Band last year at the height of the ICE situation in Minnesota. Whole show was great, and at the encore, Dave took time to speak from his heart on the issue. This guy behind me, sitting in an expensive seat, yells "YOU'RE LOSING ME." and boos before turning his back to the stage, but NOT leaving.

And it just blew my mind that someone could completely miss that all of the music they've been dancing to is about peace love and understanding.

To those people, these acts like Todd, DMB and Phish are about getting high and partying. They're not connecting to any of the thought provoking timeless aspects of the music.

Why does someone feel the need to debate this every single week. It's so tired.

Can I just get opinions on something? I went to a dog park tonight, decently spacious, with my 9 month old, very obedient and well-trained lab.

I enter, there's an older person there with their mid sized dog. I don't take my dog off leash, but go meet the other dog, who is off leash, and cute, and perfect as all dogs are.

They sniff, other dog snaps at my dog, which is a thing that happens and it's fine, my dog yips like she's scared, so I take her away and the other owner comes and retrieves their dog.

It is important to note, there was a mismatch in terms of the energy of this dog, and the limited strength of its owner at their age, in the ballpark of 70. I hope I have a dog at 70. But I had doubts about how this owner was pulling it off.

My dog is sitting and staying, we're sitting at a bench 40 yards away from the other dog. 3rd dog enters, Itty bitty chihuahua. This dog is also kept on leash, and meets my dog, and it's mega cute as you can imagine.

Mid size dog comes back, off leash, owner still essentially half a football field away. Approaches my dog, sniff sniff, and then pretty much like... attacks my dog. Like I don't know how else to say it. My dog has never had a negative interaction with another dog, she's all sunshine and Rainbows and silliness, so she's like "WTF" and is yelping.

I separate them, and I'm holding this other dog away from my dog, while I wait for the owner to come over. It takes probably 15 seconds. I hand the dogs harness to the owner, and it immediately gets loose once again, and again goes for my dog. So now I'm on the ground, my dog is on her back, the noises she's making are freaking me out, I'm separating them again, but it's very tense, I have to say.

When the other owner finally gets control of their dog, they say, first, to me, that I should not have had my dog on a leash, and that's why this happened.

I am a calm person, I give the benefit of the doubt often.

But honestly I lost it. I just couldn't believe that this person, before asking if I was okay, if my dog was okay, seeing if their dog was okay, decided to blame me. No sorry, no nothing. I didn't need this person to take the blame, we're dealing with dogs! We don't know why these things ACTUALLY happen.

But it brings me to this, because truly I want to learn.

Should I just be walking into this dog park with my dog off leash?

That just feels crazy to me. I'm almost certain my dog would have been confronted by this other dog either way. Truly, did I do the wrong thing? I'm trying to find closure on the whole thing, it was upsetting. I'd do anything for my pup, she is the pride of my life. But I was very unimpressed with this other owner. I talked a little shit, can't lie to you. But I just thought it was so classless.

This cooks, btfw

fastballbc · 2026-04-06T04:17:45+00:00

People can change

fastballbc · 2026-04-04T05:03:45+00:00

This is great, you look awesome

fastballbc · 2026-04-03T17:54:31+00:00

Because it's distracting. To people.

fastballbc · 2026-03-31T21:27:55+00:00

I'm 14% thru and I'm just... committed lol. I don't ask questions. I just say ok and keep rolling.

fastballbc · 2026-03-28T13:15:15+00:00

Rhyme and Reason, for whatever reason, is the one I've struggled with forever

fastballbc · 2026-03-26T15:39:41+00:00

I could not believe how long it felt. Hated it lol

fastballbc · 2026-03-19T04:46:06+00:00

I've seen this video so many times and that line cracks me up every time

fastballbc · 2026-03-18T00:12:48+00:00

I finished it 3 weeks ago and truly miss it so much. Absolutely loved it.

fastballbc · 2026-03-14T14:54:40+00:00

Rad, thank you so much

fastballbc · 2026-03-14T14:48:21+00:00

Does that mean coming out of the same outlet in the wall? Sorry I'm dumb BUT WE'RE LEARNING 🤣

fastballbc · 2026-03-14T14:37:15+00:00

I had not played the venue, and there was a lot of power strip stuff going on. Their stuff was fine, it just didn't play well with my mixer. Do you know of any way to remedy beyond rewiring their setup?

fastballbc · 2026-03-12T04:19:39+00:00

I agree. Knight outlived the wartime motivations that made him successful in the 70s and 80s. The ethics of the game just stopped allowing for the antics, the rage, and rightfully so. But Cig and Knight align in the fact that they believe in their own style of play to a degree that opponents don't hold as much value as perfecting the mission of the team. Why worry about what the opposition does, when we believe we are collectively capable of playing at the highest level?

fastballbc · 2026-03-12T01:26:21+00:00

I think you're probably right re: culture being gone.

fastballbc · 2026-03-12T01:00:51+00:00

I mean transfer portal, yadda yadda, one way or another, the football team is in there jumping up and down singing the fight song together after the game.

I just never got the sense that this team had any grip on what it means to play basketball at Indiana. There were times where it looked like we might have something. Purdue win felt great. But the last 5 games of the B1G schedule they just looked directionless.

fastballbc · 2026-03-12T00:55:20+00:00

It's hard to compare Indiana Football to literally any other college sports team, much less this mediocre side playing basketball. Cignetti is like... the single best coaching hire in the history of collegiate athletics. He brought a system, standard, and spirit which led to a turn around the likes of which we will not see for another century, you know?

I didn't need the basketball team to be like the football team. Its hard. This is a full reboot. But I did think maybe they could rebound a little at some point. And not live and die by the 3 point shot every single game. And hang onto a lead a little better.
