I remember Craig’s face from the PBS commercials/postcredits for Dinosaur Train. Years passed, then I was force feeding my kids Hey Arnold! and saw Craig Bartlett in the credits. Had to look him up and was happy to see it’s the same guy.

I never knew wild animal mass vaccination was practiced. My mind blown today.

Nuclear fusion is only 9 more years away.

I enjoy that community as a non-participant. A user’s decision to merely interact can reveal much more than they intended to reveal - super interesting to me. Just the existence of the community pits dudes with insecurities against their own lack of self control or social tact, for all to see.

Future me might comment there too quickly after overlooking the community name. I’ll get a warranted Tsk and I’ll see myself out. No big deal. It’s not a kick in the nuts unless I make it one.

rising up against all of this

Does Rise Against count?

I am not a good gatekeeper of “mainstream” or “sellout” etc but this feels like a hostile thread so I guess criticism is incoming.

I feel like the entirety of RA’s discography fits this theme perfectly. The songwriting is part of why I can’t get enough.

(I can’t speak for their recent Ricochet album - the sound quality is poor and lots of fans hate it; we hope we get a rerecording some day. Set aside Ricochet and I feel like you can’t go wrong with anything else of theirs.)

Trying to list deeper cuts that might be good hooks:

Album / Song:

The Black Market / Bridges
The Black Market / People Live Here
Endgame / Disparity by Design
Endgame / Midnight Hands
Endgame / A Gentleman’s Coup
Nowhere Generation / The Numbers
Nowhere Generation / Sudden Urge
EP Nowhere Generation II / Holding Patterns
Wolves / Welcome to the Breakdown
Appeal to Reason / Entertainment
EP / Megaphone

And you can’t go wrong with the back to back tracks “Prayer of the Refugee” followed by “Drones” from the album The Sufferer and the Witness.

Even older albums have good stuff but I didn’t list them since idk if you’d call them “modern”. Tip the Scales + Give It All are good tracks.

FWIW I took it to be a response to OP rather than you. Perhaps they felt their comment was a continuation of yours so they replied to yours. Idk

It became a true moral thing, by letting him just say all of this, I felt like I was saying it was okay.

A thousand times, yes.

“Dishonest Harmony” is a term I’ve never heard but wow it is perfect.

I’m… lucky?.. that my dad was a shitbag for other reasons. He was already on thin ice prior to 2016. My mom “isn’t interested in politics” but even that’s feeling unforgivable for me nowadays.

My parents have gone from seeing their 2 grandchildren biweekly, to me limiting visits with their 3 grandchildren to 3-4 times a year. Even those times are intentionally with my dad absent, and are only at extended family gatherings.

Fuck. Them. Both.

Thank you for your shirts

It’s just one song, but in Only Murders in the Building, Steve Martin sings Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?

That cro can fuck itself, glad someone already banned it.

It’s tough for me to imagine having a talk about sex toys with any of my differently-sexed kids in the future.

However, on the topic of safe use I have seen too many videos of surgeons removing a football-sized orc dildo from someone’s ass. I think I would find the courage to at least mention the importance of a sufficiently-flared base, especially if I’m on the hook for their medical expenses. Also, the junk caught in the metal cock rings. I’m sure there are more examples.

These are the translation of the Morse code tapped out in the Miners Guild basement

Search “couch riser” on Amazon for some ideas. These are intended for raising the height of a couch but could work as prosthetic legs. Might need to get creative on leveling to the right height though.

Oh man, listen to Weird Al’s song Mission Statement. I love that it exists.

I’ve used an app called Precise Volume to achieve the effect of lower-than-default volume. But I’m not thrilled it takes an app to do that, so your method could be nice.

First thing I thought of, thank you
