Well they don't work as hard...

When you factor in things like getting ready for work, commuting and even just the emotional labor that goes into dealing with workplace idiots face to face and keeping up appearances, it makes perfect sense

Westboro Baptists are Christians, Christian is also a religion, ergo...

You're still a bigot. There's probably racism in the mix, but I'm kinda done with this exchange. You're legitimately using white supremacist talking points and you probably don't even realize it

Wow. Worse than Lulu?

Israel and the Jewish people swore that the holocaust would never happen again

Except it is with Israel as the perpetrators

Hamas is ISIS and needs to be eradicated

So what sort of solution are you proposing? A final one perhaps? Daesh and Hamas are not related, but I guess to racists all vaguely Muslim people are the same, eh?

To drive Palestinians further off the small amount of land allotted to them?

Same shit they've been doing with their settlements, but at a quicker pace this time.

Best be quiet when adults are speaking

I'm aware that you can't caucus and get anything done as a frothing at the mouth socialist in today's climate, but the compromise approach is a slippery slope

Unfortunately for her she is the left's poster child, so gets it from both sides. I'm still largely a fan and agree with her a lot more than I don't, but some of her recent decisions rubbed me the wrong way

Doing one thing at the tail end of a public career of fuckery does not a good person make.

I'm sick of people white washing her because she sucked slightly less than the rest of the GOP on this one issue.

Like her father before her, she is dangerous and awful.

I mean... democrats in aggregate are conservative as all fuck. Biden stated "things will not fundamentally change" which is as conservative a sentiment as anyone could say. Anytime anything that doesn't directly benefit the rich is proposed, democrats are lukewarm at best.

Seeing the Republicans self destruct in culture war garbage and just straight up bafflingly spiteful "policy" is amusing, but there's another effect of the Republicans' dick measuring contest to see who is more reactionary: They've gone off the rails moving right and democrats have been more than happy to shift into the moderate to center right voids that have been freed up. There is no viable left in this country. Bernie and AOC are not only outliers, but AOC in particular has blunted the more prickly parts of her platform and conceded quite a bit when it comes to votes and stances on policy.

Beggars can't be choosers

If only they'd put his name in the freaking headline. Give him some easy name recognition...

Russia also got their dick kicked in in Finland under similar circumstances during the winter war.

Anyhow, i made an offhanded comment and went to sleep and wasn't expecting it to gain traction, so I feel the need to clarify:

I'm absolutely not pro Russia or defeatist towards Ukraine, I'm just saying that historically speaking Russia generally has no issues throwing a sickening amount of bodies at a problem to see if that fixes it

Counterpoint: Russia lost something like 30 million people in WW2 and still won.

You're gonna need a lot of bullets

I worked for a few labels back in the day. Bands could make money depending on if they're discerning with who they signed with. Some indie labels split profits down the middle after costs are recouped

Problem is each and every revenue stream is a fraction of what it used to be

Daniel Ek (Spotify CEO) is 3x richer than Paul McCartney. If that doesn't bun you out enough, he uses his fortune to invest in sketchy AI for military applications., plus you know... Joe Rogan and all that shit

Fuck that guy in the face

Nah. My band's releases that I have the rights to are not on Spotify on purpose. I'm not going to give you free use of my art so you can pay myself and my bandmates almost enough to get a sandwich every quarter.

Fuck right off with that insulting shit.

I worked at labels for years... that's not the way it works

If an artist is enough of a dummy to blow their entire advance unwisely quitting their job, spend months in the studio, and get an elaborate tour bus: the label will pay for it but those expenditures are weighed against your royalties. Scummy labels exist, sure, but often the artist went on a spending spree with what anointed to a loan the label was paying them.

Spotify also pays absolute garbage and fucks bands harder than most labels were ever able to

Laura Loomer is an opportunistic fascist. Nothing she writes should be taken seriously

Which is also further befuddled by bragging teenage boy foot long which is around 5"

You kiss your dad with that mouth?

I never said it was a good thing, dummy. Today's world of music by and large sucks with artists catering to streaming. The "album" as a concept is largely ignored and don't get me started about atrocious sound quality... I can rant about it ad nauseum but that will change nothing

It's kind of like how discourse has also gone to shit in the age of the internet: you get smoothbrains trying to dunk on you with a quip because they are outrage tourists looking to feel clever in some one sided "argument" they manufactured
