Hinds are from Spain https://hinds.bandcamp.com/album/leave-me-alone - they did a great show when I saw them
Arguably not rock or punk, but
I adore this doom from Australia. Holy serpent - Endless. https://holyserpentband.bandcamp.com/album/endless
More doom, from Belgium: https://wolvennest.bandcamp.com/album/the-dark-path-to-the-light
I feel like most of the people with money would just play it up to be super cool instead of a dystopia. And given the Epstein stuff, not lightly edit it so the girl is of appropriate age.
These fines need to increase by like a factor of 100, or key decision makers need to see serous jail time.
One time a former partner and I were doing it in the morning. Sunlight streaming through the window. They’re on top. Everything’s great.
They’re on their period. They dismount. Some combination of biology and physics made my dick like slap back toward my stomach, and flick a huge splatter of blood into the air. In my mind it went in slow motion, shimmering and roiling through the sunlight until it hit the wall. I was like “holy shit that was amazing!!”
They were really embarrassed and ran off to the bathroom.
I don’t pay for any of them. There’s the public library and other options. Fuck em.
It seems like a lot of this comes down to “the bike and pedestrian stuff is better for everyone, even drivers. But some people just don’t believe that, despite all evidence”
We are ruled by idiots
I cleared inner isshin without getting damaged in Sekiro , so I thought I’d play a charmless run. Then I died like 10 times to the chained ogre. So maybe more sekiro.
Cool. I don’t go upstate much, but good for them.
Capitalist hellscape. One of my pets scratched me in an awkward part of my leg. ICE horrors. War. Genocide. Other things removed from my immediate, personal, experience but make me sad or angry when I think of them.
just say i don’t know enough to have an opinion on this
It would be so nice if people could do this.
Also admit that they were misinformed or that they need a moment to think about what you’ve presented. Sometimes it seems like we expect everyone to have an immediate iron clad opinion.
Many reasons, all of them stupid and/or depressing.
Many are downstream from racism.
I had a partner for a little while that would do the “good morning!” texts. Didn’t especially enjoy that. I like some actual content. Even if it’s fluffy like “the dog saw a squirrel and I had to carry her the rest of the way home because she was obsessed”
Give me something to work with.
I also had a partner for a few months that wouldn’t respond for days. That was bad. Glad that one ended.
Saw No Men at a tiny show once. Great energy. Friendly people. Chatted with them for a while.
Saw screaming females a few times. The singer crowd surfs while doing guitar solos.
This year saw Caroline rose at a tiny packed venue. That was great. Love good crowd banter.
I don’t think “friends” works well as a binary yes/no. There are many different kinds of friends, Some people are like cacti and only need to be watered once a year. Other people are like… I’m not a gardener, but some other kind of plant that needs frequent watering. Some are weeds that will take over your entire home. This metaphor got away from me a little.
Personally, I follow a strategy of “when you have the energy, demonstrate the behavior you want to see.” So if you have the juice to handle an unsatisfying outcome, reach out to them like you’d want to be reached out to. Invite them to a party. Send them a funny meme. Whatever. They might flake. They might not respond. But you only do this when you can handle that disappointment. If someone’s been real flakey and you just can’t deal with it, you don’t have to go the extra mile for them.
It doesn’t help that the right infiltrates and murders left wing movements.

I’m not a historian so I’m struggling to remember specific details. “People’s History of the United States” by Zinn includes many examples that went like “People wanted to organize for something better” -> “Capitalists said no, and had the police beat up and arrest people”
I already felt pretty good about not eating meat*. I think this would have have been a big motivator if I wasn’t already on board
*Ok, I’m kind of a half assed vegetarian. I generally don’t buy meat but if I’m at like a dinner someone else planned I might have some they cooked. It’s easier than going all the way to 100%, and has reduced my meat consumption by like 95%.
Fines gotta scale with wealth or some scumbags will think it’s just a $600 fee
The assailant should have their life ruined. Certainly lose their car and license.
The other person who just watched and walked away should suffer, too.
Natural consequence of capitalism.
Can we play an RPG that’s not DND specifically? Fate is cool and light weight.
