Is all criticism an attack?

My father owned a restaurant, and used to complain about the people who complained, particularly when they ate the whole thing and it couldn’t be fixed.

I get very tired of people saying “well, I’m offended by the Yankees!” or slightly more reasonably “well, I’m offended by Notre Dame!”

Also, for that line, Jay-Z is from Brooklyn. Do you guys know who factually owns most of Brooklyn?

So, I watched this before reading. I’m a white guy. A white politician going to a black church and interacting with black people seems like what we want. She’s learning. Experiencing. Getting out of her bubble. In a shallow way, a cloying way, but trying.

I listened to over 8,000 different tracks in 2017. I can’t even imagine the cost of buying that. Yes, I could have really cut down on how many I listened to, and only listened to many once without paying attention, but... I could do that with Spotify. I cannot do that with paid downloads.

For the record, this has nothing to do with declining sales or competition.

Even beyond that, my issue is timing. I don’t need to listen to the host ramble on for 5-7 minutes before beginning, then 1 minute between questions. They’re all awful, except Jimmy Kimmel, who was great because he did the whole thing in the time other hosts simply set the game up.

Again, see the Wikipedia definition and try to tell me it doesn’t fit FNM.

It isn’t about being remembered. People only heard 1 song. The radio only really played 1 song.

Yes, note that I keep pointing out “in the US.” They were MUCH more popular in Europe.

Sorry, general consensus is FNM is a one hit wonder in the US. You can fight it, but you can’t turn that tide. Just google “’faith no more’ ‘one hit wonder’” and see the millions of hits.

Do they have a dedicated, long-term base? Yes.

Faith No More was a one hit wonder in the US, so I’ll pick their song From Out of Nowhere. But most of their songs, really.

Plenty of places in NYC use paper straws. Honestly, they’re not a good substitute. While they get the liquid to your mouth, they also make the liquid taste like paper. There has to be a better solution.

And while not the best Random Roles as far as great stories go (I’m blanking on who was best, but definitely not Steve Guttenberg), this was still a really good read.

I find “why don’t we teach men not to rape” to always be a great question. Any time discussion of date rape comes up, it’s scary how few men, or at least college men, seem aware of what is and is not rape. No one ever taught them, and they’re stupid enough to not figure it out.

You don’t even need to ask “is this ok?” There are more subtle ways to ask the same question. “Does this feel good?” “How do you like that?” “Do you want more?” Questions that feel more like dirty talk, or looking for feedback on an action, than consent. But, ultimately, they’re still questions about consent.

He never, ever implied she couldn’t leave. Or had to follow him home.
