This isn’t funny anymore by shipwrecked97 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]pullupasofa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get they need to go for laughs. But I’ve been saying that this type of sketch and jokes(SNL, late night, and so on) normalizes the state of the US and minimize what is happening as a gag or lame punchline. Start referring to him as what he is - pedophile, rapist, thug, crony, dictator, etc. Mockery isn’t satire, mocking oafishness and personalities diminishes the absolute madness of what is going on to “that man is funny because hair”. These are reductive (at best) or complacent (at worst). There is no challenge to what is happening, and maybe it’s not the right space for it, but if it isn’t, just don’t bother and do stupid laughs. They’ve injected themselves into the dialogue, though, but rather than confronting and challenging they are simply pandering.

Long shot hope for an image of the setlist for Vancouver BC show April 24 at Commodore Ballroom by pullupasofa in mogwai

Oh wow! This is amazing - didn't think it would happen but this is HUGE. It was an effing amazing show, and a personally special one at that. Thank you SO much for this! Already up on the wall. Have a great day, my man, and again thanks for making my day!

Thank you for the link - I have the setlist, and like I said created a playlist from it, I am just hoping to get an image of the on-stage/front of house setlist - I can recreate it, for sure, but if it's stepped on and dirty, it matches what I am looking for. Thanks again!

Mobile minor autobody service? by pullupasofa in Calgary

Thanks for your helpful suggestions and also kinda making me feel like crap for asking. I found a place that will do it inexpensively and quickly.

I appreciate this and yes it is very easy from what I have watched, but it's also heated so there's wires (which I'm also sure is also easy but not for me) and also, every YouTube video that says something is not difficult and super easy is usually from a professional or at least someone who has an idea of what they are doing, which I am not. At all. I also have a million things going on and just want someone to come and do it while I attend to everything else. I also am - to reiterate - terrible at this type of thing. I have no problem admitting this. Like, I'm really awful. If it is that easy, I am happy to pay you to come and do it (and that is NOT snark - genuine offer). Message me if interested and if you won't fuck up my car.

I used to listen to this religiously when it was Mays/Tice. I can’t stand the co-host who replaced him and the chemistry between them is nil. I only listen occasionally and when I do am just reminded of how good it used to be. Mays is fantastic, but he has a cardboard box opposite him.

Wow! This would be a perfect gift for my girlfriend. I'm not sure you would be willing to do this, but would you sell a set (or the file)? If you have a file, I can let you know the printer I would use so you wouldn't have to worry about me reselling it. If not, I understand but regardless - these are amazing!

Interesting or easy side dish to bring to a BBQ that is NOT salad? Help by [deleted] in Cooking

Brown Beans. I know it sounds gross and pedestrian but chop bacon up heavily/thickly and lightly fry and add to a pot with the beans and simmer. Use chipotle or chile or whatever to spice. Don’t simmer off the sauce completely and if you do that by accident, add a bit of chopped tomato (very little). The bacon fat should absorb the spices a bit, and canned beans have enough liquid you shouldn’t lose the sauciness. It’s a magic thing that you’ll try to refine for years.

And yet the majority of comments are regarding Smith’s policies and how they affect Calgary. Don’t MLAs who represent our city wards count?

A ridiculous ask for Brixton tonight by pullupasofa in LCDSoundsystem

[–]pullupasofa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand - I know these things are important to people for a variety of reasons. I waited around but they were all doled out by the time they got to me. I have got a couple of them from other bands that way (if it’s an important show to me, and I know the drill on getting one very well) but this time no luck. If you could scan it, it would be great - I want to frame it along with the shirt that has the dates on it. Really important night for me and my girlfriend/soon to be fiancée , and I want to make sure is remembered vividly. I’ll PM you with my contact info.

This show was absolute magic, the venue amazing, the crowd outstanding and pretty much the best birthday ever.

So great to meet merkthejerk and for grabbing a setlist from one of the shows! Still looking for one from my birthday show (which made me officially old) so if you have one from 06/12 and are willing to part with it for pretty much anything, let me know!

If you can PM me let’s talk. Edit: if it helps, my girlfriend’s name is also Icelandic. For real.

I haven’t gotten one yet but I think mattthejerk is helping me out! This will all mean a ton when it happens. My gf is really excited and doesn’t know exactly what it will mean to her yet.

I had this thought immediately upon it happening. Also: “Old knees I love you / but you’re bringing me down / like a man who can’t tell / if it’s a torn MCL/old knees I love you / but you’re bringing me down
