Ah, shit.

Which feels like important context as to why there were so many Puritans in the new world, considering that after Cromwell died, they brought back the son of the dead king and disinterred/hung Cromwell’s corpse for treason.

Same! Wish they’d gotten bigger.

Wanted to come back to this, as it’s on point. Particularly in working class white communities I’ve been part of, the scrappy mentality is just (sometimes literally) beaten into you. It’s “That other guy ABSOLUTELY wants your shit, you gotta take it FIRST” energy.

I watched some short retrospective on that, recently. One of those “Legit HOW did this make it past multiple people?” things.

Haven’t performed in a long while, but yeah, hecklers ruin shit.

I’ma need a cover of “In A Big Country,” by Big Country. Criminally underrated song that any number of bands can make some quality hay with.

Yah but they were tempting men tho. Fairsies squaresies.

Damn! I’d say there’s something to that!

Bigger issue is housing, IMO. What was the old percentage/rule of thumb? You should only spend about 30% of monthly income on housing? Yeah, that BEEN fucked for a good, long while now.

HEH! Yeah, I remember watching that “All Gas, No Brakes” documentary a couple years back, and most of the people interviewed at Trump rallies were like “We need to TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY and LOOK HOW MANY PUSHUPS I CAN DO!”

Yeah, race swapping can be meat for conversation, but only if the counterpoint isn’t “NO I DON’T LIKE IT.”

It’s funny/tragic just HOW DAMNED MUCH we cribbed from Puritanism, right down to our notion of “justice,” because the Puritans (and I cannot stress this enough) were dangerously insane. In a way that almost - *almost* - makes our national firearm fetish make a certain kind of sense.

Yep.

...Good gravy, I’ve become my father.

Once again: if you’re at a live performance, barring an emergency that generates a cry of pain or some other kind of involuntary noise, your task is simple: shut the fuck up, and watch the show.

Yah but dipshit trolling in hopes of a comment section race war tho.

The mirrored shades-wearing walking thumb set sure does get into their feelings about this shit.

It’s funny, because in other threads you see apoplectic dipshits proclaiming that queer visibility and incremental increases in queer representation in media amounts to a fucking takeover.
