I don't listen to ICP and to my knowledge have never even heard one of their songs, but I'm fine with Juggalos for a simple reason: they're anti fascist comrades.

I have literally never met a juggalo, a furry, a "kpop stan" or any other group the internet has opinions about

I think this is true for nearly everyone

It is so weird that so many people have any opinion at all about statistically nonexistent groups they have never interacted with in real life and have barely seen in pictures

I’ve met exactly one furry in real life and they:

1) would not shut about their kink
2) smelled absolutely terrible (like the worst BO I have ever smelled and I worked on farms all through my teens)
3) would always try and make themselves the center of attention
4) lied about everything, constantly. And so much that I don’t think they even knew they were lying

I know it’s not right to judge an entire group by one example, but I got a feeling anyone delusional enough to think they’re a cartoon frog or whatever is gonna be someone I probably won’t wanna hang out with.

To be fair, it's likely you *have* met a Furry and they just never mentioned it. I've met a bunch and even the one who hit on me was, to a being, otherwise normal.

The one furry (I don't know for a fact that he was, but I'm reasonably sure) I've ever known even online once sent me a couple hundred bucks to buy food when I was seriously down on my luck so at the very least that's one person's bad anecdote canceled out.

I got asked if I was down with the clown by some guy at a party in college. I said "what?" and he said "nevermind" and moved on. That is the extent of my juggalo experience.

There's a guy that works at Petsmart by my house with his car literally covered in furry poo poo. I also saw one walk through a hotel lobby once and it made me lol.

I see Juggalos all the time. Denver has this super high rate of Juggalos for some reason lol.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
For the North California stuff there was an interesting movie on HBO Max or something last year called “Finding Bigfoot” that was more about drug growing than Big Foot but it is a nice look at Nor Cal culture.

I also know one furry on Twitter who is into vore and inflation, and I just leave it alone. He posts about it and it's horrifying, but I muted him instead of totally unfollowing him because he's nice.

I work at a Barnes and Noble and we sell kpop albums. We had to start storing them away from customers because people would steal them a lot. Largely it’s young women of all ethnicities who are passionate about buying multiple copies of the same album so they can get the full set of random photo cards of the group members.

I think it’s a deeply predatory practice on the industry’s part but I’m not going to judge the fans I’ve encountered: they seem otherwise pretty well adjusted and it’s their money. Lord knows I’ve spent good money on stupid poo poo

One of the most annoying features of the modern internet is when you google a movie title plus "streaming" or "full movie" or "watch online" and the first page is nothing but completely useless websites that tell you where you can pay to stream that movie.

I think that’s a symptom of the real problem, which is that everything from you and your phone to your car to your lightbulbs etc have to be connected at all times now. The internet went from being a fun-to-use tool to being a vehicle for someone to make money from you at all times. Any data that can be harvested and sold is extremely valuable and people willingly being always connected (for “convenience”) have turned the internet into what it is today.

I’m from southeast Michigan so I’ve seen hatchetman logos a million times but I have never actually interacted with a juggalo.

Someone I was friends with in elementary school grew up to become a full on furry, and I knew a couple of people in high school who would wear cat tails or cat ears around. I went to weird nerd school though.

Literally never meeting someone who likes anime or kpop reinforces my opinion that the average goon is a cloistered shutin. Or old.

Like almost any group the internet talks about, tho, 99% are normal and boring, and won't engage you about their thing, so you will remember only the most obnoxious. Even the few furries I've known were normal, kinda geeky college students who kept their furry to internet and cons.

The one exception that proves the rule is foot guys.

e: Working from home sounds like a living hell to me. Not only do I hate spending the whole day sitting around, our computer room is my safe fun space, I wouldn't want it contaminated with work bullshit. In fact I'd prolly go insane if I was expected to be responding to emails and calls off the clock at all. Blue collar 4 lyfe. I finish the job and I'm donezo.

Not a PHUO but outside of niche jobs that require emergency response, you should be required to be paid a stipend if you respond to work bullshit outside of work hours.

Agreed, boring as poo poo and no I don't care how good you are at cooking it. "Bland" isn't a sign of a refined palate. Eat a steak taco or something.

Yep. Gas mileage from your address to work twice per diem, plus a small bit for maintenance. No car? Job gives you a paid transit card. In a better world...

Or just give everyone a UBI but again, not in this lifetime

Im pretty excited about the fancy new vegan beef jerky from companies like Beyond Meat and Impossible. I love that they don't pretend to be a health food. They just want to make things that are tasty and don't kill animals.

People should be paid more, and this would encourage companies to lobby for, and possibly build, housing, so great idea. A corporation is a ravening beast that must be beat into submission with communist sticks, and chained with socialist links.

This has been covered before, but since it's summer: I've never understood the appeal of watermelon; it doesn't have much taste.

e, twofer: early Eagles is great stuff - Best of My Love; Desperado; Peaceful, Easy Feeling are all good songs. Once you get to the Hotel California and Heartache Tonight era, the Eagles begin to suck. Most people just dislike the Eagles because of that line from Big Lebowski.
