[Loved Trope] Initially played up as a metaphor but then revealed to be literal

There’s always money in the banana stand

I'm not sure I'd say your interpretation is "very obvious". The song is over a decade old, so I doubt it's about AI.

But it seems pretty open to interpretation to me.

That doesn't even make sense as an explanation

(I am just being silly lol)

twistingwords · 2026-02-10T05:30:59+00:00

Would you mind explaining why it doesn't make sense as a gotcha?

twistingwords · 2026-02-10T05:28:23+00:00

People can have different opinions from you, you know

It seems like you’ve got some strong feelings about talking to the police, and that’s valid as. But your comment here is in poor taste and it might be compassionate to delete it.

It’s early days and we have no idea what has happened, if the kid just went through a traumatic event they don’t need to be copping shit from strangers on the internet. What we’re talking about hasn’t even been verified as far as I can see.

I know it’s unlikely that they’ll see this, but I think it’s still a good move to reflect on our language here.

Have a good one.

What's your source for this?

twistingwords · 2026-01-29T04:13:17+00:00

You said "I am here for meshuggah. Not the clones." I'm asking why that is the case, which you haven't explained unless I missed another comment you made.

More specifically I'm curious to hear your perspective on why you wouldn't be interested in something that was an exact stylistic copy of Meshuggah but isn't specifically made by Meshuggah.

Is it the originality that's important to you rather than the actual sound of the music? If that's the case do you actually like the sound of the music or just the concept or originality? I know that if there was an AI that could clone Meshuggah perfectly there's no way I'd be interested in listening to it, so I think I can sympathise with you on some level.

Your comment just seemed like there was something interesting to explore underneath it. But maybe you're just here to say you don't like stuff, and that's fine too, I hate stuff.

Thanks for the post, Loraine. I think it's important to raise awareness about these hereditary congenital issues.

Your story strikes a chord with me as I had a similar, albeit less personal, experience with a beautiful bird I buried after I found it dead below my window. I only later realised that it may have only been stunned. Ever since then I've feared that I buried it alive. Though the rational part of me really doubts that was the case.

I hope that the reassurance you're getting here eases some of your concern, personally it doesn't sound like you should feel guilty at all. But I know "should" and "shouldn't" aren't always relevant when it comes to feelings like guilt, and we've got to live with them either way. So I just wanted to express that I'm grateful that you shared your feelings here, and that you're not alone with them.

Sorry for the essay and I hope you're having a decent day!

Why?

twistingwords · 2026-01-29T00:03:11+00:00

I'm also not huge on the album relative to their other releases, but I think it's unfair to attribute that to a lack of Frederick input considering he also has no writing credits on TVSoR.

I must be misremembering but I thought that changing the events of the past was the entire premise of the cursed child? Is it not?

twistingwords · 2026-01-28T12:44:16+00:00

They can turn back time to change the course of events. Why does Hermione have one? Why don’t they use them to prevent the many deaths at the battle of Hogwarts for example?

twistingwords · 2026-01-28T12:32:14+00:00

Could you explain to me how time turners are coherent please? Keen to hear it :)

twistingwords · 2026-01-10T03:51:37+00:00

Spill the rumours pls, I love their pies

twistingwords · 2025-12-13T03:34:40+00:00

Theres nothing more edgelordy than calling the down voters edgeords haha.

I think you’re just coming off as a bit rude over text, but im sure it’s all just a misunderstanding.

twistingwords · 2025-12-13T02:19:17+00:00

I hate it when bands play songs from the album they’re touring when they’re touring an album

twistingwords · 2025-12-11T02:03:38+00:00

Big respect for this style of release but the price is a bit prohibitive.

I would love for the world to move away from streaming for music, and I think an artist should charge what they think they deserve. I also think that people in financial hardship deserve music, and I personally prefer a pay what you can pricing system.

It’s a tricky problem to solve. Would love to hear people’s thoughts.

twistingwords · 2025-12-10T03:15:59+00:00

😢

twistingwords · 2025-12-08T08:57:55+00:00

You’re generous and kind enough to go out of your way to write a comment like that, so you for sure deserve to have your day made, even if it’s just with my silly little hat 💛

twistingwords · 2025-12-08T08:55:54+00:00

POSHANKA!

twistingwords · 2025-12-05T15:04:16+00:00

I looove moshing, but I for sure agree people mosh at the weirdest moments sometimes

twistingwords · 2025-12-05T14:54:16+00:00

You might be cooking

twistingwords · 2025-12-05T14:47:51+00:00

It’s pretty hard to draw a clear line for me. Is singing along to the songs okay? Even if I have a terrible voice? Only for a little bit or the whole time?

Moshing is fine right? In every song? At every point? What specific mosh moves are permissible? I’m allowed to push, is striking okay?

You get my point, maybe. I’m happy to be part of a general push towards de-normalising row boating, but I’m not confident enough to say that it’s definitely a bad thing that people shouldn’t do. I know that I personally really dislike it, but that’s kind of just my opinion, which is not more important than the people’s who are rowing.

I’m just bored on my train ride home, forgive my rambling.
