“Fair wages, working conditions, and healthcare” isn’t the left. Those positions are centrist. The far left wants to do stuff like abolish the government. I’d still pick them over the far right, but abolishing the government is a pretty fuckin’ bad idea.

The guardrails seem to have come down

They don’t seem to, they definitely have. Remember that Supreme Court ruling that said the president can break the law?

Videodrome is a classic.

Gamers say that Ubisoft execs need to get comfortable with not being solvent.

Okay, so if nobody cared about it, and it didn’t affect Harris…why are you talking about it?

I guess you don’t listen to Democracy Now. They’ve been reporting on Palestine every day since the election. The Ralph Nader Radio Hour has been talking about it since the election, too.

You can replay it, you know.

You can

• Join the BDS movement
• Donate to groups like A Jewish Voice for Peace
• Protest in your home country, if your home country is supporting Israel
• Lobby your politicians

Not when you have a candidate who supports genocide and was trying to court billionaires, moderate Republicans, and the Cheneys. Towards the end there, I thought, “There really is nothing appealing about her now.”

Right at the beginning, there was so much hope and enthusiasm, but then the DNC and their consultants stepped in and ruined everything.

I honestly don’t know what point you’re making here.

You don’t think he’s funny, and that makes you cringe? Okay.

You have to energize your base to get them to go to the polls. Maybe the Democrats should try running a candidate who doesn’t suck.

I mean, you do that whether you vote or not. But when you try to tell people that they have to do more than vote, they don’t like it.

Naw, it’s gonna be “What did you do during the genocide in Gaza?”

I think if Voltaire took himself seriously, then he would be cringe, but it’s clear that he doesn’t.

Some people don’t think that humor belongs in music, and that’s okay. But it’s kind of like calling Weird Al cringe. It makes me think that you don’t understand the artist.

Which is crazy, because originally “alternative” just meant “underground”, i.e. stuff that wasn’t popular. Once it did become popular, though, then it solidified into its own genre

People are often poor judges about how they’ve changed, because it’s difficult to be objective about yourself. I’ve had friends’ personalities do a complete 180 and they’ll tell me “I haven’t changed at all, actually”.

Oh, really? There’s for sure some bad 90s music you’ve just forgotten about.

I’ll be watching Todd in the Shadows and go, “Oh shit! I forgot about Spin Doctors! Damn, they were annoying.”

This was also the decade that gave us nu metal ffs.

Well, there’s a random combo if I ever heard one.

They still make me cringe. But now it’s classic cringe.

Punk is a pretty broad genre.
