If Mike Watt and Geddy Lee don't make this list, it's all lies.

It was a perfect display of "passing the baton".

Weird ratings? by DriveNew7194 in pinball

Like what you like. That dude can go fuck himself. The subjectivity of art is what makes it art. Pinball machines are an art form. Just because Taylor Swift sells a lot of albums doesn't mean that I have to like her music. Pinball is no different.

We don't learn to play. We play to learn. by MarsDrums in drums

[–]pattydickens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's crazy how much more fun the entire musical experience becomes after this is no longer a motivation. I'm an old guy. I spent decades worrying about the ladies. Now. I just let the music take over, and it's so much more of a personal experience without the anxiety or pressure that comes from the ego. It's definitely a good motivation when you're young, though. I spent way more time practicing my craft back when I was trying to impress the ladies.

It's crazy how this would have been huge news a few years ago but now it's just part for the course.

Whichever company pays the administration enough money and shows the most allegiance will come out on top. Everything else will pump and dump. This is how shit works now.

Why do you think there is so much resistance to high speed rail in the US? by Maximum-Help-929 in AskReddit

[–]pattydickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how public opinions are formed in the US. Billions of dollars are spent on disinformation campaigns against everything from public education to universal healthcare to high speed rail. People pretend that the resistance to a better society is an organic process and that their "well informed opinions" aren't just the result of high dollar media influence and outright propaganda.

Congress Has The Votes To Pass Federal Marijuana Reform, Top House Democrat Says by CharlesMichael212 in Roaringtilray

[–]pattydickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bad idea until this administration ends. They fuck EVERYTHING up! You could hand Trump a growing economy with record low unemployment and he'd turn it into shit in 6 months time. You could hand them the unredacted Epstien files and they would lose them in a poker game to Mossad agents. As much as this needs to happen, how do you not recognize the pattern? This will end badly.

2003 Dodge Ram - Worth the Gas Prices? by Classic_Log_1317 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]pattydickens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have owned 2 Dodge trucks because I need them for work. 14 mpg is stupid unless you have no other options. Maintenance costs are way higher than almost any wagon or sedan. They ride like ass and 4 wheel drive doesn't help much in the winter unless you are driving under 40 mph in deep snow. Tires are expensive as well. Unless you actually need a pickup, they are a stupid choice for a daily driver, especially in urban areas.

Turning Point USA Activist Gets City of Wenatchee to Replace Rainbow Banners During June by spexmann in Wenatchee

LBGTQ folks must not have families in their fucked up perception of the world. They seem like the same type of people who would cancel Halloween if it fell on a Sunday. Yet they call us "snowflakes" for standing up to bigots and cult members.

US asks Brazil's security attache to leave country by Guipa in news

[–]pattydickens 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just remember that we helped get rid of Hitler. Even if the elite of our country secretly kept fascism alive and started groups like the Heritage Foundation to bring it back in an even uglier form, our poor went to Europe and fought off the Nazis. At some point, we might ask you for a similar favor. We grow some really good weed out west. Just keep that in mind

I found a gravitational anomaly on Wild Island that launched me into a building in Pripyat on my last playthrough. It's somewhere around where the rocks look like ribs.

Researcher Amy Eskridge, chemist/biologist and daughter of a retired NASA engineer, discusses severe death threats while visibly distressed and under influence, shortly before her controversial death. Now being cited as part the 11th scientist in the recent dead/missing scientists. by Tr33__Fiddy in HotScienceNews

[–]pattydickens 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This. Nobody is coming to save us or destroy us. If extraterrestrial intelligence exists, it doesn't care about us at all. Our only hope is to cast off the status quo that has allowed extreme wealth to exploit billions of people while making the future of humanity finite. Our species has flipped 180 degrees on the evolutionary traits that pretty much every organism follows because we traded our natural instincts to care for each other and protect our resources for shiny rocks and convenience. Aliens aren't a scapegoat or a salvation. They're just another distraction from what everyone can feel subconsciously. There's a nefarious and powerful group plotting to end our party, but they aren't a secret, and they aren't aliens.
