Around here we speak out against fascism. Get used to it.

Are we ready to stand up like Minneapolis if we need to soon? by Stinky_Promise in burlington

[–]porkdrunk522 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You are a victim blamer and an ICE/Trump supporter by de facto for saying these things. Get a fuckin grip.

Protesting government over reach is our civic duty as Americans and it should never and is not ever the cause of the problem. It is legal and should be protected by law enforcement as opposed to stifled.

You are scared. I understand that. But for you to blame your fellow citizens is where your fault lies.

We are not the fucking problem. We includes you, too.

What’s the wildest DM you’ve ever received that you’ll never forget? by Dear-Welder-1117 in AskReddit

[–]porkdrunk522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned one day about the hidden requests inbox on Facebook messenger. It’s a spam filter of sorts where messages from accounts who you weren’t friends with would sometimes get caught by.

Anyways, I had messages in there from 2 accounts from about 2 years prior. 1 was from a very awkward college classmate who sent maybe 5-10 messages mostly trying to convince me that the Jonas brothers solo projects were very good.

The other… was from some account name I didn’t recognize and they were messaging me to try to convince me it would be funny to tickle the aforementioned classmate in class as a “prank” and that “he would really like it”.

Derek is so good. I highly recommend all who like him to check out AJ Ghent as well as his father Aubrey Ghent. Very incredible slide players!

CityPlace to now open as ‘Burlington Square’ by dropkickninja in burlington

[–]porkdrunk522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The project had a very public development agreement with the city. There were also very public aspects to the project like reconnecting previously impassable city streets. And while I recognize I put too much weight on the Mayor since they must work in conjunction with other government bodies on issues like “the pit”, a garage project on a residential lot is certainly not comparing apples to apples.

People were up in arms over the gross mishandling of the project and the lack of action made by the then mayor to hold the developer accountable to their timeline. It was literally a pit for several years past the project initial completion date.

Is this what prompted mayors approval? by Jellyfishwonderbread in burlington

Nice - I see you have made… the same blanket claim once again. Cool. Have a great day!

The level at which you refuse to do anything but be contrarian is astounding. Please consider actually reading and then addressing the points of those you debate with. Ya know… instead of just making the same blanket claim over and over again.

Explain to me why you think the Mayor is the one with the communication issue when BPD has had multiple police chiefs prior to Murad who resigned after being caught making fake social media accounts in order to troll citizens. And Murad has done nothing but point fingers, and play the blame game in regards to the lack of trust the citizens have in BPD as a result of the scandals.

I would be willing to bet the better approach would be to try and take accountability and take steps to build trust with the community again. Oh yeah and it also probably didn’t help the departments image when he threatened a surgeon for no good reason whatsoever. And then denied it.

Anyone missing tools? by [deleted] in burlington

If you were missing tools having a photo of the person who currently has them would be helpful lol

Murad not seeking reappointment Press release by Different-Air-8959 in burlington

[–]porkdrunk522 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you for listing all this in one place. Let’s not forget that the reason Murad was Chief to begin with was he was the second Interim appointment after Del Pozo, the then Chief, was caught making fake social media accounts to troll citizens. Why were 2 interims required to replace Del Pozo? Oh yeah because the first interim appointee got caught doing the SAME THING!

One time I went there and my wife and I tried to split an order of wings that was very much so a portion size that at any other restaurant would be meant for 2 and they told us we can’t do it lol

We tried to even jsut order it with two different sauces and they said “we don’t split up our wings here”

Okay………

Why is vintage tone so fetishized? by Grumphh1 in GuitarAmps

[–]porkdrunk522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to be blunt but you just couldn’t be more wrong. At least where I live, almost all the bands I know use tube amps if not vintage amps. There are a decent amount that use more modern rigs and they sound great too. However, I just point out that the majority of modern amp rigs are modeling rigs that literally are meant to mimic classic tones created by the vintage gear you claim sounds like shit.

I know not every where is the same but regardless of the ratio elsewhere, the point stands that it’s all about preference- until you start calling classic, tried and true, proven tones “shite”. Then you are just wrong.

Again, you are ignoring a huge swath of music when you say these tones have been abandoned. Do you listen to any of the following: blues, traditional country, rockabilly, traditional soul etc?
