    I hate Kanye because he borrowed a chair from my producer and broke it and I had to hear for an entire session what an absolute fuckwit Kanye was for breaking a chair in this way and then I broke the chair in the same way.

    I hate Kanye because I was in a studio at the same time as him and he kept setting off the fire alarms so there's a part of my second album with no guitar on it because we ran out of time due to constant fire alarms.

    Kanye's (possibly current, likely former) road manager is a grade A piece of shit. The dude nearly crippled one of my coworkers due to his extreme disinterest in proper safety procedures for unloading equipment from trucks.

    Every time I hear that song I forget that it's going to happen and then the guitar drops out and I go "...fucken kanye"

    kanye kidnapped my wife and took her away to a palace under the sea and i can't figure out how to get through his damn labyrinth of riddles. i've been trying for fifty years and now i am a wizened old man with a long white beard while my wife remains eternal and ageless in her prison of crystal

    You could promote your album by calling Kanye out on it but that's also a Kanye thing to do

  • TubeTube Registered User admin
    Supposedly while he was working in that studio Kanye needed to take a shit and was waiting outside the bathroom for ages rapping about how much he needed to take a shit and my producer was queued up behind him and realised with dawning horror that there was nobody in the toilet and Kanye had just assumed that there was because the door was closed. He eventually jumped the queue and just went in, but absolutely did not, as he claims, apologise with "I'm sorry, and I'ma let you finish, but I need to take the biggest shit of all time".

    I want to make a comment about Kim being a great example of how people can be wealthy without offering any value to society but also I need to point out that there’s at least 10,000 shitty, worthless men with too much money for every celebrity woman seemingly getting rich by monetizing their insta following

    So maybe she’s creating wealth for others and I’m just getting old and still working out my unconscious biases

    I can't totally hate them for having a private go-kart track because if I could do proper go-karts where I can go too fast and ram people into walls without some asshole high school senior yelling at me for it I totally would.

    Good for this case, but how about addressing how the system lets this happen.

    So like, is it an independent committee to investigate this or is it just like, telling the cops "hey look into if your fellow cops did anything untowards" and the official report will contradict the facts on video we've already seen and find that everything was hunky-dory it was just a tragic accident because the kid just didn't follow instructions fast enough?

    In Albuquerque we had a citizen over sight committee installed by the justice dept to over sea the complaints and such against the Police
    Barr disbaned it a few months ago but since installed the committee whined how they had no power against the police. There was no way to implament ideals to get them away from being gunslingers and I am the law ideals in the dept

    They did pass a pretty extensive bill, I think, and QI reform was part of it

    This would be an appropriate thing to say if we weren't still in the cool era where reporters were are being blinded by pepper spray bullets hitting their freaking eyeballs.

    Can you grift unintentionally or is a certain intent inherent to the act like cannibalism

    It is only haram if you knowingly eat of the flesh when other, halal, food is available to you. So if someone tricks you into consuming human flesh, you’re grifting but unintentionally so it doesn’t count. Likewise, if you are starving and there is no other option, you’re good

    help a fellow forumer meet their mental health care needs because USA healthcare sucks!

    Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better

    generally speaking, I believe that snake oil salesmen, even if they believe in the product, should be strictly liable for their grift, because that policy promotes a careful evaluation of oneself and the product. If someone is so stunted that they are unable to do either despite good faith efforts, well people still got hurt, the world and society still got hurt, our faith in each other still eroded.

    Cannibalism is a whole different thing and I don't think morality inherently attaches to it (and if it does, it should be promoted if anything) but that's a different story

    What the hell does cannibalism have to do with police abolition. I feel like I missed something.

    I followed the roadmap to this conversation and I am still lost.

    Also, the mayor of seattle is trying to get the socialist removed from the seattle city council due to the latter's protest of the police.

    While I am no fan of Sawat, asking for her removal does not square as morally right in these conditions.

    The only moral thing Durkan can do right now is to resign immediately.

    Friesians are amazing creatures, I've watched a couple getting trained in person. It's basically a moderate sized draft/draught horse (bout 17 hands and thick) nimble enough for dressage.
