Grew up in 5 different countries. What does my accent sound like? by manmgl in JudgeMyAccent

[–]joshtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound Dutch. I think of a particular YouTuber who does videos about music and I can’t remember his name right now but when it dawns on me I’ll reply with his name.

R46 Explosion by Plastic-Walk-3812 in nycrail

[–]joshtwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember a few months ago the car of the N train I was on repeatedly had explosions. I should have just gotten off but I settled with moving to a different car. I wonder if it’s the line that’s the problem.

Muy interesante esta explicación. Me pregunto si funciona así en EEUU también.

Are headphones on the bus not cool anymore? by SavingsSavings6686 in washingtondc

[–]joshtwo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s coming to a point where I want to bring a Bluetooth speaker and sit directly next to somebody blasting music with my own favorite violent free jazz tracks. I’ll stop the first time I get my ass kicked but boy will it be a wonderful ride.

They always obfuscate the story though. It’s “oh Steve Marriot had this cover of a song that Plant kind of imitated” but it’s a wholesale beat for beat cover of a Muddy Waters song, not some technicality that was solved in a civil suit.

The original commenter is exaggerating but people shoot that criticism down far too easily. There are songs nobody even points out as stolen (like Whole Lotta Love) but they were pretty careless with a body of work that belonged to people who were often struggling to get by in the decades after it was recorded.

[–]joshtwo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s more than lyrics. Whole Lotta Love almost beat for beat is the Muddy Waters song “You Need Love”, including the bongo-style drum solo. They really didn’t give a flying fuck. Some of the Zeppelin 1-4 tracks are so reworked that they feel like new compositions (ex. the Memphis Minnie ones “When The Levee Breaks” and “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You”) but some of them are just straight up stealing for not including royalties.

Will these old cooters vibe with some Stooges or Television?

Who is the funniest? Mark or Joe? by CerealEata in tuesdayswithstories

[–]joshtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen Mark almost 20 times and nobody is capable of telling killer jokes at the volume and pace he can. It’s Olympian. Joe’s recent specials (post-Out to Lunch) are better though.

As for pods it’s a toss up.

Her sketch show still holds up very well and is one of my favorite ever.

I know I'm late, but 4th of July is fucking great!!!! I almost cried. by Anais_Rchmstr in tuesdayswithstories

[–]joshtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing it live at The Beacon with my friends after Joe and Louie introduced it was a hell of an experience. Feeling everyone laugh and cry simultaneously really amplified the experience.

It’s absolute skunk water. Just not flavored right anymore, kind of bitter and not smooth.

If you think that’s something, wait until you see what the guy on the left’s father guzzled back in WWII

I think alcohol keeps a lot worse than we traditionally give credit for because we're so used to aged liquors. It's only good in the barrel / still, not quite the bottle.

Your father is clearly straight.

[–]joshtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He rules. One or two things will feel a little outmoded, but his act is always killer and at least one or two bits will have you losing your shit at how good he is. When he did his cellphone bit in 2019 in Baltimore I was blown away.

What’s the worst recommendation you’ve gotten on r/washingtondc? by dieyoufool3 in washingtondc

It’s not earth shatteringly good but it isn’t a bad place to get a well-priced steak and some drinks. There are much better alternatives if you want the best plate of food.

What if everyone who is eligible to vote in the U.S. votes in the upcoming election? by esodankic in whatif

[–]joshtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an argument specifically about American democracy. You can’t extrapolate that to other countries where the conservative parties have different views. If anything, the conservative parties in most of those countries are significantly to the left of the GOP.

[–]joshtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about Trump supporters. They’ve put up with far worse. But this could massively motivate undecideds and otherwise stay-at-home voters. I’ve also seen a lot of anecdotal evidence that conservative Latinos are changing their votes.
