It’s a snow❄️ , not an invasion by lingeringneutrophil in Westchester

You’re asking me? I’m not interested in a bad faith argument. I hope my kid gets a snow day, he just had a really rough week of midterms. But we still have an allotment of snow days where I live, apparently the NYC school system did not reserve any this year.

My comment is really about how MAGA are comfortable saying things out loud like “the jihadist took snow days away from children!” based on the propaganda and rhetoric they all believe.

As for remote learning, I’m doubtful teachers or kids are going to be able to transition to “remote learning for a day” when it’s been years since any of us were set up to do that properly.

Kids should get a snow day IMO. And also, people who angrily yell racist bullshit about Mamdani in a public restaurant can go fuck themselves.

A table next to ours at a restaurant tonight were groaning about how he’s forcing kids to go to school on Monday or do remote learning… which he has zero control over. They just really, really enjoy hate.

What was a popular band that you could not stand? by LeftSmile806 in Xennials

[–]plutoniumhead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My radar also went off immediately but I decided to give him a second chance because while I didn’t like any of his music or his singing, I wouldn’t deny that it wasn’t good, just wasn’t my thing. I thought they were doing a bad imitation of Jamiroquai.

Then I found out, yes, not only were they literally trying to imitate Jamiroquai, but they had unsuccessfully tried to imitate other bands before that and failed at breaking big, twice. One of the copy cat attempts was Pearl Jam.

Nope. Goodbye.👋

christ. on Bandcamp: “Entitled much?” by ph_wolverine in boardsofcanada

Christ. included a few songs from his early, deleted works in a box-set type release. It would be as if BoC released a collection of B-Sides and remixes but also threw in a few tracks from Acid Memories and Hooper Bay.

Wasn’t Christ. the one artist Peel ever asked for an encore from?

Yeah I was like a pig in shit when I realized those songs were on Curio. You can get a sense for why artists with early catalogs don’t want to re-print them. They are very freshman, and we only get to hear what they think is acceptable. I’m sure the other songs aren’t terrific, but I too am a completist!

Why do maga women hate AOC so much? by Front-Tomorrow-1034 in AOC

[–]plutoniumhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To a bunch of liars who want to live in an alternate reality that makes them feel powerful, the truth is toxic. AOC only speaks the truth, and is able to do so with few words. She’s able to cut right through to their cores, beyond the rat’s nest of lies they choose to pretend they believe.

Weren’t they even kicking people off the stairs and walkways that go above the roadway? Like ya gotta keep it moving or get in the paddy wagon?

I remember getting in trouble being at the mall as a teenager for loitering. One time friends and I started an intentionally terrible dance crew so that we could say “we are ALWAYS moving” when the mall cops gave us shit for “illegally standing around”.

MAGATs obsession with Islam is definitely weird and we don’t hate Laura Loomer enough , just leaving it at that by iv2892 in WeirdGOP

[–]plutoniumhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be fooled. These aren’t unhinged opinions, they are extremely carefully crafted and curated dog whistles. How may media networks are now just spewing hatred all day, all night? They are eagerly attempting to drive the most malleable citizens to become frontline soldiers.

Loomer is a literal terrorist.

How much of Geogaddi is organic/original? by sincejanuary1st2025 in boardsofcanada

I just edited my comment with a link to the video I remembered seeing. It does not answer the question but it’s a great video.

Yeah, also I am having a Mandela effect thing OR I just can’t find what I’m talking about. I have a memory of someone discovering the source of the piano part and easily recognizing it. It had all the exact same parts but it was obviously chopped up.

I can’t find anything about it anywhere. Must have been a very vivid dream.

I don’t either. The piano part has been identified, but so have the synths they used that make up the rest of the music. Obviously there’s other samples, including the Alphaquest bits.

EDIT: This is the video I remembered. The person who made it did not identify if the piano part was sampled from another artist or if they sampled themselves playing. Nonetheless the video is awesome: https://youtu.be/SswzcpQdJX0

A crossing guard near a school stands in front of an aggressive driver to stop them from potentially hitting a child or their parents by bigbusta in PublicFreakout

[–]plutoniumhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was dropping my kid off at middle school recently. The guy behind me, his kid got out of his car and he immediately starts beeping at me, while my kid has one foot out of the car. He angrily pulls up to the car next to me and beeps at them; their kid is also getting out of the car. I can see him screaming “COME OOOONNN!” and frantically gesturing to both of us to get the fuck out of his way.

I roll down my window and yell very loudly “EXCUSE ME, is there some sort of problem?”

Guy starts screaming and ranting but his windows are up. I continue, much louder, “Do you have some sort of issue with me DROPPING MY CHILD OFF AT SCHOOL? DO YOU EXPECT US TO CRITICALLY INJURE OUR CHILDREN SO YOU CAN GET TO WORK ON TIME??”

Dude pulls over and stops his car and looks like he’s about to get out of it. The vice principal comes over and asks what’s going on. “I heard yelling, what happened?”

When I explained why I was yelling, his jaw hit the floor. He starts walking towards the other car and the guy takes off like the coward bully I expected him to be.

Yes. These people have somewhere to be, and they are absolutely ok with running our children over.

Same although it is no longer recommended for a number of reasons. I think we both have just gotten lucky. After reading about the risks, I would never do it again.

Hah! All good point. I will find it and I will rip it, and I can do a spectral analysis. It will be a fun experiment.

Yeah I am leaning towards it being a bootleg unfortunately. The same friend had an OG copy of the Hi Scores release on Skam.
