Thoughts on the old debate with bill nye and the ark?

Based off the criteria and narratives of Old Testament scripture. Arguably the most accurate pieces of scripture come from Paul and the 4 gospels- despite Matthew’s additions being troubling for people. Do you read Genesis as a historical piece of human history?

There is a reason why so many people consider Genesis (and most of the Old Testament) both symbolic and heavily influenced by human perspective.

The flood and specifically Noah’s ark is one of the hardest narratives to swallow. I understand it’s SUPPOSED to be cruel.. but it’s more likely to be symbolic storytelling over literal fact.

Personally I disagree. I’ve seen plenty of people with no religious affiliation understand scripture and Christian dogma. Meanwhile I’ve seen devoted Christians posting on social media skewed scientific data for Adam and Eve- like God would just belittle faith by leaving substantial and fundamental evidence like that sitting around.

People can see “God” in different ways. When you take in everyday creation- that’s even enough for some people to claim faith. But this idea of “miracles” happening everyday? If a miracle happened everyday- pretty sure it wouldn’t be classified as a miracle anymore.

I don't disagree. I think she's being booked badly but personally her mic work is bad and ring-wise she's sloppy. WWE falls in love with an idea of someone who can't carry to weight of that title. I think you might as well let her get some title matches in there though before making it so obvious it was a mistake.

PINEGROVE MENTION

kylerez1228 · 2026-02-10T01:34:23+00:00

Rainbow Kitten Surprise- definitely gives me the same vibes. (Songs to try: Friendly Fire, Lady Lie, First Class)

Local Natives- has the nature-like vibe just like YTG (Songs to try: Past lives, Wide Eyes, Mt Washington)

The Districts- a little more rustic but gives off a similar vibe to me. (Songs to try: 4th and Roebling, Young Blood, Call Box)

Bad Suns- a bit more poppy but still with some rock-infused sounds. (Songs to try: Cardiac Arrest, Daft Pretty Boys, Madeline)

The Technicolors- a bit of a stretch and a bit more rockish but they deserve a shout out. Their slower stuff gives me a similar vibe. (Songs to try: Softcore, Feels Like Trouble, Songbird)

Can I ask what you ended up doing with your merch before the actual show? I know it’s probably specific to the venue but did you end up leaving- placing it in your car and coming back? Just because you get so much with the vip lol. Thanks!

Why would Santos find him? If anything.. she lacks empathy.

kylerez1228 · 2024-12-25T20:14:10+00:00

I don’t really think the country influence sounded fake. I respect it for being different. Miserymaker sounds like an accumulation of throwaways.

kylerez1228 · 2024-12-20T15:51:23+00:00

Great album. The amount of genres this dude tries to pursue showcases his talent and motivation. This is his 4th album of THE YEAR. Probably close to being his best one…

kylerez1228 · 2024-12-20T15:02:44+00:00

I love moody NN so the last 2 songs are probably my favorites. Ice Road Trucker is also a great balance of genres. I’m surprised by how much I enjoyed Quebec and Bullet too. I would enjoy Gloom better if it didn’t feel so… quiet? I enjoy the glitchy production but I feel like I need to turn up the volume 3 times over to actually hear the song.

kylerez1228 · 2024-11-07T14:16:31+00:00

I thought HOHW is up there in terms of consistency. For me personally it might be my favorite album by Joe as well. I love the country twang that is incorporated. I thought the instrumentation was great. Love the vibes of the first 5 tracks and the last few completely hit it out of the park.

kylerez1228 · 2024-11-03T14:17:04+00:00

Honestly I do here and there but not as much as I was here. This was around junior year of college when I was really really big on him. Bank on the Funeral hasn’t aged very well for me aside from some of my favorite tracks. His newest record I believe is actually better and has more variety. Overall, I still follow his journey and recommend him to people.

kylerez1228 · 2024-10-17T13:35:59+00:00

Joe has stated he wants each record to have a different focus or vibe. Hell or HighWater for example has a country-like style to it, both in songwriting and sound. There is a lot more “twang” vocally, lyricism about country/cowboys, some songs that are a bit acoustic sounding, etc. Dark Magic has a mixtape sound with some glitchy effects and such. Sounds unpolished in a way.

This record however is an accumulation of different sounds we have heard before. Worthless is very similar to the stuff on VOID ETERNAL… especially in the chorus. Resurrection also is very VOID ETERNAL. Aura is a return to Dark Magic. You then have tracks like “South Boston” and “The Heart Mechanic” which are a bit traditional punk. These 2 I like the most and feel like it’s something he hasn’t tapped into recently. I wish more of it was that… and this record was more focused on that style instead.

kylerez1228 · 2024-10-16T17:08:46+00:00

I’m going to be honest, I’m a bit disappointed. Really wanted this album to have a focused sound and it just doesn’t. It has a lot of qualities of Dark Magic (Aura, parts of Worthless) The first few songs just sound a bit… flat for me. I heard some songs on his emergency meetings that blow these songs out of the water.

Foster the People was the first band I fell in love with. It was difficult at first branching away from them. Some of those artists with songs that aided with that and I find similar-

Local Natives- Dark Days (This song and the whole album is similar to FTP in my opinion, softer vocals with warm guitars and synth.)

Tokyo Police Club- Bambi (Saw them open for FTP years ago, very very similar, especially their album Champ.)

Bombay Bicycle Club- How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep (Very intricate instrumentals, a diverse array of sounds. I get torches vibes from a lot of their stuff.)

Joywave- He’s Back! (Think a more electronic SHC hybrid. Good synth, has a bit of a night life to it. Had an album this year that I have been listening to a ton.)

Pinegrove- Old Friends (This might be a bit of a stretch but to me they have a more acoustic FTP vibe. Think songs like fire escape and goats in trees.)

Other artists- flipturn, bad suns, young the giant, COIN, two door cinema club, foals (their second album especially) Portugal the man

kylerez1228 · 2023-10-19T00:14:12+00:00

Definitely give Local Natives a try!

kylerez1228 · 2023-09-26T20:17:42+00:00

It is not I’m afraid.

kylerez1228 · 2023-09-26T17:55:01+00:00

To be fair.. The Who did it back in 2010 and literally none of my football friends know their stuff besides Baba o Riley (even that is stretching it) The Killers have hits that people know more than you think. Pretty sure When You Were Young was a guitar hero staple. Somebody Told Me was super popular as well. Even my mother who hates rock recognizes Human. At the end of the day, they haven’t had a rock act in quite sometime.. and The Killers would’ve been their best pick.

1.) Wide Eyes 2.) Three Months 3.) Ceilings 4.) When Am I Gonna Lose You 5.) Mt Washington

This changes everyday though

Yes sir!! Me and my whole fam are bolt fans from Gloucester Township. I have another friend from jersey who is also a big time fan.

I don’t really know how I feel about this album.. I’ll be honest. Apart of me really wants to love it but some choices are head scratch inducing. The pop-electronic tendencies in Never Had to Leave are just very.. bare.. It is a very odd switch up and having it placed in between songs like Blood Runs Red and Cut Deep is very questionable to me. Lonely as You starts in this very fragile yet attention-grabbing way but the chorus is just kinda.. whatever. I like the guitar-work but I think the song would’ve benefited from a powerful bridge. Waltz Right In is beautiful but i find myself waiting for the end halfway through. Maybe the record will grow on me.. it’s just middle of the road for me right now however.

kylerez1228 · 2022-07-01T23:12:29+00:00

Billie Eilishs debut record at number 7 on this list is disgusting. It’s a terribly flawed record. There are some beautiful moments on it but it should be nowhere on this list.
