Do you two have some kind of beef that predates this thread? Of all the slang slung throughout this comment section, why is yours getting so much heat? *mind boggles*

Right. His lawyers just filed, and won, a lawsuit for almost 13% (!!) of the royalties.

I mean, Sam Smith blatantly ripped off Tom Petty and no one claimed they were ~feuding~. Smith just put Petty in the credits and everyone chuckled and footnote it as interesting bit of pop music trivia.

Oof, I really hated how often male friends would grab me when I told them I was taking a self-defense course, and then laugh at me if I didn't break free. Like, I'm choosing not to do the moves that would get me out of your grip, dude. Do you REALLY want me to use these techniques on you? Really? Because they will…

Dude, I took a three-month defense course that didn't use padded attackers — because it gave us a wider target to hit, which reduces your ability to correctly aim — and I still froze up when I was jumped by a white supremacist shithead a few months later. A day is dookie!

The chorus isn't so bad. That bridge though. Good heavens. It's on par with Madonna's rapping:

Yes! This!

OMG! That reminds me of the day my dad told me my mom had been fired. — since I was maybe four year old, I thought she had literally been set ablaze. I was pretty sure I was supposed to feel sad that my mom was dead, but my dad didn't seem all that fazed, so I kept my festerign grief to myself. You can imagine my…

Aw. I was weird and proto-OCDed as a kiddo, too. There was a long line of pop stars I insisted could see through my eyeballs, culminating in a year of thinking Trent Reznor was filming music videos through my eyes. I wrote a whole thing about it (sorry, I knwo this is spammy) here.

Thank you!

Are they though? Best Artist of all te artsy arts?

Dude just keeps upending our expectations of what entertainers owe us, SNL keeps giving him a platform to irritate us, and I luffs it I do I do I do.

I must be doing something right because that is notttt my experience.

Well I want neither of them in me, so...no.

I like saying the Buzzcocks made really great pop songs.

Does it reflect poorly on you that you don't know how to use the machine? Like, "Wait, you can't make coffee? What else can't you do?"

And try to explain continuums of oppression and how microagressions pave the way for bigger atrocities and they just fucking explode. Not explode and go away, though — oh hell no. They they melge back together all Terminator 2 style and we have to keep dealing with them. HERBEDEEDITTER
