after reading and watching a bunch of true crime stories in which some creepy little shithead meets his wife at church and goes on to be a control freak and diddle his kids or murder his wife, I'm starting to think church singles mixers are not worth it, and they should just let scrawny little gross dorks remain alone forever as nature intended

Behind the Bastards sucks now. I tuned in for Hitler’s dating life and all that crap. Tell me about how Cao Cao was a dick. There are better outlets to hear about the unending tide of modern dicks than Robert Evans and friends. I keep trying to listen to current episodes but I can’t loving stand it. He’s great at reporting from Portland nowadays and nothing else.

E: and when he put those Pete Seeger songs at the end of a few episodes, like they were unknown to anyone who hadn’t listened to his podcast, earlier this year, like no, goddam, gently caress off

E2: And he apparently has lived in half the country, which is fine, talk about that, but he doesn’t. He’s from St Louis and also rural Oklahoma and also rural Texas and also was in LA by 20 ok that’s fine tell us your life story, but don’t pretend you actually understand rural Texas or, probably, any of the other places you proclaim knowledge about.

Someone turned me on to that show about a year ago. been listening on and off and I have mixed feelings about it. It sounds really good on paper and there's been some good eps. But most of it is just so loving drawn out and the guests/co-hosts are almost universally completely unfunny and uninsightful and feel like they add nothing but time. Almost all of their episodes are 90 minute two parters, so 3 loving hours, and I feel like they usually have about 30 minutes worth of poo poo to say about a subject.

And most of the subjects I find interesting are just a rehash of stuff I already know.

Billy Wayne Davis is practically the only good guest, and it's basically what I want about the podcast: Robert Evans reads his essay about a historical dickhead we might not have heard of, and a comedian dunks on them. Prop episodes are also good. Prop sucks at being on a podcast but actually brings a ton of insight and experiences that most people in the podcast realm can't and don't.

I'm pretty sure "suomi" is the country & language and "suomalainen" is the people, but my knowledge of Finnish does not extend far past Korpiklaani/Teräsbetoni songs.

If you're not already aware of it, you might like The Dollop. To quote the intro: "I, comedian Dave Anthony, read a story from American history to my friend, Gareth Reynolds, who has no idea what the topic is going to be about." Sometimes Gareth reads a story to Dave, and when they go to other countries, they do stories from those places. Live episodes usually have a guest, and usually cover lighter/weirder stuff and people (notable exception: The Animal Horrors of MacQuarrie Island). Baseball episodes are good, too, even if you're not a baseball fan (I am not).

Yeah, Suomi is the country and the language, suomalainen/suomalaiset are the people. Finland and Finnish are just how other people call the place.

http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20180225-the-mysterious-origins-of-finlands-true-name unfortunately no-one knows the exact meaning of the name, one theory is that is Suo-maa (land of bogs or shallow lakes), or variation of Sami (which are the indigenous people living in the Northern parts who used to live a fair bit southern than they do nowadays).

And the older national shorthand SF meant Suomi - Finland, not Soviet Finland, which was also somewhat accurate.

Historically the coastal areas and western part used to be basically a normal part of Kingdom of Sweden, and the middle/northern/eastern parts not immediately at the coast or easily accessible by waterways were at best barely organized network of castles, fortifications and inns in the middle of wilderness, spotted with more or less fucks-giving villages of farmers and stuff.

And no, we are not magyaroks, our emblem is a can of beer with hockey sticks and puukko, not a white hand on a badly forged door from Ford Escort.

Ugh, I just agreed with Shibawanko and it feels gross.

He’s a really talented musician, just in the sense he’s able to work in basically any genre and at least do a decent job. I don’t listen to him anymore because I’m not eight years old, but the man does have talent.

The problem with a lot of comedy music is that they put all the comedy into the lyrics. That's not really comedy music, that's just comedy set to music. They have to take the next step in comedy music, which is to make songs that are in and of themself jokes

Clutch is one of my favorite bands and they’re interesting- they incorporate a lot of comedy into their music but the jokes are never the focus.

Also they had one of the best burgers named after them:



10oz Beef Patty, Cheddar, Swiss, Smoked Gouda, Monterey Jack, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion.

I firmly believe everyone in the world who likes burgers even a little should make a pilgrimage to Kuma's Corner.

No underwear is the correct answer. Nothing to bunch up, nothing squeezing your junk and balls, no additional laundry to clean.

I like the modern day stuff in Assassin's Creed. I would totally play a spin-off set in the present day universe. Bring it back to the stealth roots by giving all the guards automatic weapons that just completely shred you when spotted. Set it in like São Paulo or something.

Edit: Actually, forget São Paulo. I wanna jump off the Burj Dubai into a conveniently placed pile of lawn trimmings.

I wish there was some middle ground underwear. Boxers bunch up and take up too much space. I don't want my balls smashed either though. The best underwear is worn out boxer briefs that have lost some of their elasticity lol. I feel like I should mass produce this idea. basically boxer briefs that aren't spandex tight.

Kind of weird to use the word "compromise" when the neoliberal ghouls haven't budged an inch economically leftward in like eighty years. So I think the people you're talking about aren't so much looking for a "pure socialist ubermensch" and are more looking for "literally anything at all".

I always felt a push-up bra cup instead of a front panel on briefs would supply ideal support and ventilation.
