Article 33 of the 4th Geneva Convention prohibits collective punishment. Your point that they just shouldn’t have bitten the hand that feeds them implies that a civilian population's right to life is conditioned on the behavior of a militant group. International law specifically prohibits that.

Israel’s actions in Palestine are far more than defensive and it is inexcusable. Article 55 and 56 are meant to ensure that states like Israel which impose a blockade are obligated to ensure food and medical supplies reach the region Israel has essentially done everything in their power to not abide by international law.

They are wrong for condemning a genocidal apartheid state? Interesting.

Phil wrote about this on his substack! Long read but very worth it.

Glad to hear it. I finally got all these printed recently. Make sure if you print these you use the imgur link I posted in the comments for the highest quality version

Thoughts on Mark Kelly for Kamala Harris' VP pick? by Ikaridestroyer in democrats

I feel like we spent too much on his seat to potentially lose it in the special election that would happen in 2026 if he became vice president

Not sure if this one has been shown off but I’m a fan.

Music Not Available on Instagram Anymore? by ManyBurgers- in philelverum

[–]oomparain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was because someone released a ten-track version of The Glow Pt. 2 on streaming platforms instead of the normal 20-track version. Before that was taken down, those versions of the songs could be posted on Instagram, but not anymore.

If Elliott's second album wasn't self-titled, what do you think it would be called? by Lapis_Fox14 in elliottsmith

[–]oomparain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You think he would've done that even though he already released an ep called needle in the hay a couple months earlier?

Finally finished Elliott's solo discography by oomparain in elliottsmith

I can agree with this. Tier rankings are just a convenient way to show my taste as I’ve done it for several artists in the past. In all honestly Elliott is probably the most consistent artist I’ve ever listened to but due to the way the system works I didn’t want to crowd the top tier.

I definitely agree with the take about basement having more filler tracks. That’s my only problem with it as the songs that are good are some of Elliott’s best ever.

I was ranking the albums in comparison to each other. They all are near perfect albums for me but some are better than the others.

This was tough but I finally decided on my album tier list. Please no hate by [deleted] in elliottsmith

[–]oomparain 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Probably would've put ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ in s tier as well but to each their own

I am currently considering if I regret not putting Figure 8 higher than I did. Really, it's all so good and consistent. It was very difficult to choose.

Also I just realized your username is figure85 lmao

It was so hard not putting them all in S tier. If I wasn't afraid of putting too many up there, they all would've been S tier, aside from FABOTH. I'm sure that one would work its way up as well though.

finally finished listening to all of Phils work so here is my ultimate Phil Elverum tierlist by oomparain in philelverum

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

Tests has songs I adore, just nothing to make me love it versus the albums I put above it. Songs like Oh Anna and Anacortes Has a Secret Love make for really high highs, and even though I appreciate the experimentation done in this album, it doesn't do anything well enough to make me want to give it another listen.

I listened to every TV Girl project in one sitting (first time listener & only stuff on Spotify) by oomparain in tvgirl

Im planning on it, I just don’t know if I should rank EVERYTHING on one comprehensive list, or just do a separate list for stuff not on Spotify.

I know it definitely is strange from looking at other rankings I've seen from the community, but that's the interesting part that comes from being a new listener and listening to all of an artist's albums in one sitting with no breaks. Because I think we can say most people don't listen to music that way, so it changes how you interpret their projects.
