Bob's Burgers covered this perfectly when Tina discovered there was a convention for her favourite toy, it turned out that it was attended entirely by middle-aged men, and a group of them scammed her favourite doll from her. I believe the line was "middle aged men ruin everything."

It seemed like Episodes II, and III were both set up as the film that would redeem the fact that the first one fell flat. It also seems like Episode III got way more acceptance than it deserved simply because it was only thing left to cling on to.

As far I'm concerned it is very unhealthy and a huge red flag relationship wise. These people seem fairly tuned out to the adult world where there are movies for adults, books for adults, philosophies for adults, music for adults, and collectables for adults. Unfortunately they think X-Men is for adults because it's…

As if the idea of a pre-Lemmy world wasn't absurd enough.

Actually, it's perfectly normal for the victim of any kind of incident to identify everything they could have done differently. Anyone who walks knows that part of being safe is making sure drivers do what they are expected to do.

Tanya Tagaq. She played a music festival and I had no idea who she was and didn't read the program. I ended up in a seat that was center and third row from the floor and she she was playing performing with a violinist, and a drummer. The entire show was mind blowing. For the first 10 minutes she bounced around to…

I find amazing how many not-so-musical people in their late 20s pick up an acoustic guitar and start attending open mics like that's how you practice. Like, not knowing when a song does not work is their daring originality.

I used to hang out at a bar that was slowly taken over by a couple regulars who had absolutely no business performing in front of an audience, and no self awareness at all. It might have been fun if there was any sense that they weren't totally serious.

Saying a song changed a person's life is rarely anything but the worst kind of schmaltzy hyperbole that your brain doesn't want the job imagining.

The trouble is there are fine lines between aggressive behaviour that is best ignored, aggressive behaviour that requires a snappy come back, and aggressive behaviour that is a harbinger for physical violence. You can escalate aggressive behaviour by ignoring it, or you can escalate it by trying to respond it.…

The problem goes much deeper than "whackjob." Just about everytime you see an article like this, or a woman speaks out social media, there is always a horde of men and women decrying any thought of there being a problem. a lot of surprisingly normal people just don't want to accept that women don't enjoy this, they…

It's more likely that the people getting banned are more guilty of copy + paste, than saying something overtly terrible.

Well, somebody said "misogyny" and you didn't roll your eyes.

What you're doing here is practicing a form of escapism where you avoid a topic by diverting into your own divinitions about who you're talking to. No one here has expressed any kind of opinion on christians, southerners, or how they're treated online.

It has to be reiterated again and again that communication on the Internet IS real life. You are a real life person writing real life things to another real life person.

80's synth inspired indie rock bands would more accurate. It all seems to have the same low metronome tempo and ambiguous middle-of-the-road energy that I've never been able to place in actual 80s music.

"the pummeling abrasiveness of Skinny Puppy couldn’t be more unsettling."
I've been listening to a lot of Too Dark Park and Mind: TPI lately, and it's surprising how disjointed and chaotic this band really is. You can see where all those horror movies with composers like Morricone, Pendercki, and Donaggio had their…

My mother was simply convinced that she raised me better than that, and while she was more than willing to call whatever I listened to garbage, she didn't go through my collection looking for 'contraband' either.

Wow, I completely forgot about that cover.

I always figured Filter was a band that had potential but also had a really shitty record deal.
