I'm a metal fan and it's an incredibly dumb genre of music, hth.

All music is dumb, and anyone attempting to say "Aha but this particular genre/scene/band is actually really interesting and deep" is even loving dumber and their taste loving sucks.

Ah, but have you heard of third wave ska?

You see, the man with the long hair yodelling about elves in a forest while swinging a sword around is actually the purest representation of the reality of modern life.

Evening comrades!

I'm proud to announce our new terrible podcast for these terrible times has finally happened.

Welcome to Podcasting is Praxis


We had planned to go on about climate change and the g7, and most of it got hosed by the proroguing, so we ended up screaming about people who need to speak to the manager of brexit and Dom Cummies' smooth brain.

Thanks to Firos, Coohoolie and Ludic (I can't loving remember if that's your forums name or not lol) for being on the first episode with me, to Mehall for assisting with the discord, logo and planning, to Rarity for being a star with the planning side of things, and to everyone else who joined in to get this off the ground.

Special commiserations to Namesake who was in the first failed episode and then couldn't be in this one.



Hope you all enjoy it!

In fact, if you'll indulge me for a second - every time there's a crossover genre between traditionally white and traditionally black forms of music, the quality drops exponentially for each white person in the band.

Prince Buster: loving awesome
Specials: Pretty loving good
Every single third wave act: Literally the worst noise ever made outside of commercial butchery

24/7 Spyz: Just shoot it into my veins
Chuck-era Faith No More: gently caress yeah. Extra points for the fact that they moved out of the funk/metal genre as they dumped Chuck and Jim, although I'm sure Puffy wonders about it sometimes.
Red Hot Chili Peppers: Why wasn't heroin much purer, or much less pure, in LA in the eighties?

I suppose what I'm actually saying is white people ruin everything.

I'mma gone give the podcast a miss for like the first 10 episodes, but if you get something good going as a regular thing and sort out what I'm assuming are the usual audio and awkwardness issues of every fledgling podcast, THEN I will grudgingly listen and maybe buy a Casper mattress using your promo link.

They just seem close because they're REALLY big. Saturn is like over 5 times as big as earth but it's hundreds of miles away

Technically everything is hundreds of miles away from everything else, if you think about it.

I for example am about 0.000002 hundreds of miles away from my monitor.

I'm 25,000 miles away from my monitor depending on what direction you take the tape measure in.

e: 0.00002 miles is 3 centimetres - you might want to get an eye test.

Illuyankas posted:

It was an attempt to ask people to feel sorry for a man who drugged and sodomised a 13 year old girl because his life had been hard, wrapped up in a book review. The part where she described the anger she felt after reading the child rape victim's account of her rape by Polanski drain away after she read about his family and wife being murdered came across exactly like an excuse, regardless of how she phrased it. I mean, "Then you read about the life of Roman Polanski. How shameful and how pointless to punish him with violence, even in the imagination." and "This is not an excuse; other survivors have not become rapists. But it silences my violent instinct immediately and creates a sharp and terrible sympathy in parallel with the anger. A second complicating factor is that Polanski's work is filled with beauty and humanity." This is absolutely an excuse.

Her column would have been reasonable in the majority of situations it could have described, just not one where, once again, a man raped a child and then fled to escape justice to live a fabulously privileged life of luxury with no consequences and (according to details from that column I was looking for earlier and eventually found) other sexual assaults on children.

But who knows? Maybe I did misread it.

The whole point of the article is that despite Polanski's criminal deeds, the situation still has nuance, which the victim herself urges people to consider. The whole article is just arguing against oversimplifying complicated situations. Nowhere does it say the nuance absolves Polanski.
