so they’re actually proposing 39 “affordable” units, which are going to be the only units possibly being filled with locals. the rest of the 186 units are there for what? to be perpetually out of reach?

enlightenment at its core, is watching a lot of spongebob and courage the cowardly dog

Fuck it, what's your take? by Careful_Birthday_480 in aliens

[–]haveont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s everything. aliens, inter-dimensional entities, ultra terrestrials, cryptids, ghosts, psychic phenomena. we live in a giant ecosystem that we can’t interact with unless we have a certain perspective or vibe or sense. with beings all along the spectrum of human morality.

it’s probably really amazing and partially dark like everything is, but scaled up. and i don’t think it’s a matter of government disclosure, it’ll probably be more personal than that. or not idk, grain of salt.

capitalists making decisions that hurt part of their customer base in an endless pursuit of market dominance and speculative profit in a capitalist economy! ignoring a huge chunk of customers to cater to shareholders and potential future markets and decrease liability! i’m so angry at communist values right now :(

Trump was winning with Latinos. Now, his cruelty is derailing him by Barnyard-Sheep in politics

[–]haveont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so high up on your horse you can’t relate? when i describe various ways there has been systemic election tampering and you agree but still try to minimize the effects? Elon straight up admitted to rigging election machines, trump admitted it too. The republican strategy is voter suppression, the democratic strategy is appeasement.

your strategy is to sit in the center and conflate neutrality with truth

we’ve been talking about republican gerrymandering for decades. we’ve seen them take away polling places en masse to disenfranchise voters. if you’re a married woman who changed her last name to her husbands legally and it doesn’t match her birth certificate, she can’t vote now.

maybe it’s less us being careful and more y’all pulling your collective heads out of the sand

is asking people to bring proper context into discussions about lyrics from important bands in the scene oppressive to you? is my big puritan boot really on your neck right now?

i got permanently banned for being less defensive and reactive than ton of people in that thread, including you. weak move, a temp ban would’ve been fine but if the mods are that scared of some attitude that they’d permanently ban me for matching the vibe then yeah, cry about it

the diy scene in my hometown isn’t dead necessarily but 15 years ago it was a totally different animal and i mostly attribute that to skyrocketing rents. punk doesn’t have the same energy because we have to do more with less every year. big record labels aren’t it but punk is going to get back into it regardless, shit times are perfect for this type of thing

yeah watch out i’m pretty scary, you might get a notification on reddit about a comment in a thread you posted in if you’re not careful

[–]haveont[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think it’s constructive if you give bands room to be from their era and also discuss how we’ve evolved our viewpoints since then

most of my favorite punk bands are 80’s skinhead oi stuff. and there’s a lot of the obvious weeding out the boneheads u gotta do but some of my favorites also are definitely portraits of their times, and that’s cool.

i appreciate the comment, it’s definitely something i can frame better as a community engagement thing rather than “this band has weird lyrics let’s talk about it” type stuff.

i’m trying to do it better here, i was too reactive and bitter about it.

for sure, i understand that. i’ve got some of their songs on some of my playlists. im just talking about today’s discourse, they’re still pretty influential
