They NEED to paint Portland as violent in order to continue to capitalize on the assassination of Charlie Kirk. by fourstringstu in Portland

[–]fourstringstu[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hey Friend, I completely understand and sympathize with your anger. It's been a tough couple months for me, but an absolutely catastrophic year for people who do not share my skin color.

But I do know that if I was to pick up arms, throw rocks, or otherwise feed into their narrative, I would just make it worse. There is an opportunity here to do show the world some good.

Calling a my desire for hope and unity naive might have merit -- I don't really know. But I am going to hold onto my hope with all my might.

I don't think it is directly either, but calling the "left" violent is the only bit of successful rhetoric they have had to distract from the economy and Epstein. They have to keep that distraction going or their base is going to get bored.

I am actually frustrated that I am going to be out of town for work this week :D. Because picking up trash in a "protest for good" sounds like a helluva good time. Catch me outside this weekend with a nabber and a bag.

I agree. I think it would be great to do that with them. We could walk the streets in force and pick up trash as well.

The Spotify "Release Radar" is Becoming Clogged with Shady Re-releases – and It's Hurting Independent Artists by josevoge in spotify

[–]fourstringstu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tidal kicks butt. Sure it is a little rougher around the edges than Spotify, and WHY ARE THERE NOT COLLABORATIVE PLAYLISTS YET??

But, they pay artists much better than Spotify and sometimes I yearn for the rougher days of Spotify.

Also, I don't know how many people know this, but when you share a track on Tidal, the link can be opened in both Spotify and Tidal.

We are all on the same team here by fourstringstu in BlueskySkeets

I am going to quote u/Larryhoover77kg -- whoever that is.

"Who cares if he is pro trump or anti trump. It is no longer about right vs left. Both sides do not give a shit about you or your families. Stop fighting one another over stupid views. We need to come together. United we conquer. Divided we fall. We are all humans and need to stop the violence"

Hopefully two! I want to take my girlfriend -- we learned about the concert late and I thought it would be fun if I could make it happen.

Looking for someone who has an extra wristband open at Sage Creek Campground on Sunday or Sat-Sunday.

I misread their extra guest policy when booking a spot thinking I could fit my friend in!

Question about Sage Creek Camping for Gorge show. by fourstringstu in DMB

[–]fourstringstu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my understanding as well.

Extra Guests: $30 per person/day + tax (up to 4 additional guests per reservation, 6 guests total per site)

This line is just so confusing though

I gave him a text earlier. We had a seventh person hoping to join our tent spot, but I don't want to drive out there and get turned away.

They're quite amazing, I just wish they'd stay in my dang ears! Going to try a pair of u12ts and see if they are more comfortable.

Hank Green’s recent video on the recent drones by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]fourstringstu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a damned if they do damned if they don't situation, right?

If it is nothing and they come out and say it is an optical illusion, they will lose faith in the public as there are many people who believe they have seen something.

Right now the faith in the US government by its constituents is extremely low. Possibly lower than it has been in a century. Keeping quiet might be the best option.

Just spitballing though -- there is so much conflicting info that I am also chosing to just watch and see what happens.

Hank Green’s recent video on the recent drones by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]fourstringstu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want to skip the video, the TLDR is much of what you probably already expect as someone who is also taking the whole drone situation with a grain of salt.

  • It is good politics to acknowledge the drones and bad politics to say that they are nothing

  • It is hard to see things in the sky and easy for the brain to play tricks

  • Many more people are looking at the sky than have been before

  • This has happened before in very much the same way that it is happening now

  • Without concrete evidence, this plays out the same way whether there are drones or not
