I didn't say Petal is better than Tom Petty. And all credit goes to him for the strength of the lyrics/basic melody of course. I just think I like this quiet, earnest version more than the brash synth-rock one. I'm sure Tom Petty could have done a really effective stripped down version too. And in these situations I always respect the choice to not go acoustic.

Just released Tom Petty cover, I think I like it better than the original

I don’t remember how Dicko was the whole first year, just him being awful in his first game and then that one time when he managed scoop up the ball, run for his life, and somehow get the kick away after a horribly botched snap. He most definitely was not the guy we saw last year. Hopefully the sequel can deliver pretty well even if it doesn’t live up to the original.

It won’t be. Short of a for cause firing he gets at least 3.

It is pretty baffling. Like, Tom Herman knows so much more about football offense than I ever will. I have no doubt in this. He’s put together championship-caliber offenses. There’s no way he doesn’t know our offense sucks total balls. And yet I see nothing to indicate he’s getting any closer to changing that fact.

I don’t know what to do about anything but in 2018 Tom Herman’s Texas Longhorns are a straight up fucking garbage football team. Outside of probably Kansas I can’t see a game the rest of the year that I am confident in winning. This team sucks. It flat out sucks in every phase of the game.

I think I’m in the minority (overall, even if not here) but I didn’t like the Navy helmets with airbrushed ships and I don’t like the AF helmets with airbrushed planes.

So... do the sanctions have a point? Like the whole point of the sanctions before was to bring them to the table. We did that, and we struck a deal with them. Now we back out of the deal and impose more sanctions. Does he see the point of sanctions as just having sanctions in place for their own sake? Are we holding out until Iran can somehow deliver WORLD PEACE?

The very same. In plenty of cases these people are not visiting/browsing it directly so much as seeing content originating there or being linked to specific posts, but there's no dispute that all this Q nonsense started there. Definitely the sort of place where you'd expect to find a legit high-level intelligence leak that is definitely not a made-up troll. Also let's just take a second here and assume purely for the sake of argument that Q has proven they have insider info coming from high up in the Trump admin. All that would prove is that they are in or working with someone in the Trump admin. A rational person would probably think that this makes Q LESS credible when they make totally unsubstantiated claims about the political opponents of the Trump admin being a bunch of satanist cannibal pedophiles. Like, gee, I wonder if they might have an agenda here. Of course, if this whole thing doesn't go down in flames soon, Trump will absolutely find ways to wink at them and egg them on, probably wile maintaining some degree of plausible deniability. He's not good at much, but playing to his crowd is something he does know. And he likes to give shoutouts to people who say nice things about him almost as much as he likes to complain about people who say mean things. There's just no way he's going to do one rally after another packed with Q people and not find a way to pander to them.

You could make an argument that Trump is a prank that 4chan played on America. I wouldn't go that far, but I'll absolutely say they saw Trump as a troll like them and they were exuberant at the possibility of a president who spends his time trolling everyone. They made multiple coordinated efforts to boost him, including being the biggest initial driving force behind the whole pizzagate thing. And at this point, 4chan trolls know perfectly well that they're performing for an audience of journalists and boomers who don't understand the weirder corners of the internet.

This is fucking idiotic and despicable, even for Branco

Of course the BBC article on this opens with a tweet from someone named “MAGATexAg.” Of course. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-45040614

This will never be topped. The way everyone is just standing around gesturing at each other is amazing. My favorite might be Kennedy and GW looking confused and pointing fingers at Madison, as if to ask if everyone sees this guy trying to catch Obama's poop.

This dude is funnier on accident than most political cartoonists will ever be on purpose e: John Bolton is straight up hunting wabbits

I can no longer tell what’s real so this might be a joke but anyway

More than a lot of other colors, orange is very susceptible to lighting. The same exact orange jersey is going to look very different depending on whether the player is standing in the shade or in the sun or under fluorescent lights or under the big lights at a night game. Not to mention the different factors involved in the photo being taken. Do a google image search for any day game last year, and look at the different photos that show up. For example: Same game, same day, same jersey, same field.

I refuse to believe that anyone married that dude. I don’t even think I believe that someone in an active, committed romantic/sexual relationship with a woman could maintain those hardcore intel/redpill ideas. One or the other has to give pretty fast. Garden variety casual misogyny, sure. But not like that.

Going back to what I said earlier

Are you now or have you ever been familiar with girls who wear fishnets

Someone said girls don’t like NIN and I stopped reading the thread sorry

Generally not the biggest fan of the huge arena type productions. Most of my favorite/most memorable shows have been at clubs and such (SXSW is amazing for seeing great acts in intimate venues). And I can't separate "best show" from "show I was the most into while I was there," except that I have to give extra points to any show that left a big enough impression to change the direction of my musical taste for a while. But anyway here's what jumps to mind in chronological order. Yeah Yeah Yeahs at Emo's in 2003 White Stripes at Stubb's in 2003 Shapestatic/Kri in the forest somewhere outside of Austin in 2005 Lemurians at Alex Grey's Chapel of Sacred Mirrors NYC 2006 Clipse and Re-Up Gang at Mohawk SXSW 2008 Girl Talk at 40 Acres Fest 2010 Neutral Milk Hotel at Fun Fun Fun Fest 2014 Cherry Glazerr at Cheer Up Charlie's SXSW 2017 White Reaper at 21st Street Coop SXSW 2018

Zoom G1on and B1on both have a fully functional looper, a very basic drum machine, a great tuner, and like 100 other effects ranging from crummy to surprisingly decent, all for 60 bucks. You can easily spend more than that on a pedal tuner alone, so probably worth a shot. Really it's a great beginner's anything on a budget, at the very least it lets you experiment with all kinds of things and figure out if that's something where you'd want to invest in a non-beginner non-budget version. For a little more you can get one with an expression pedal. I'm sure you can get one from somewhere with a return policy if you have doubts.

I've been using a Zoom B1on as my only pedal with my bass rig, almost exclusively as an always-on compressor. I've been thinking I want to add a very mild/transparent drive to give me just a little hint of breakup, and I've also thought I wouldn't mind having a better compressor. So I've ordered a used Durham Electronics Sex Drive. Can do that mild grit thing AND it has a compressor that is very well-regarded, even if it's not adjustable (one switch that toggles between soft, hard, and off). I'm ok with not having a ton of control over every parameter if the alternative is "you turn it on and it sounds good." A compressor good enough that the ovni lab guy said instantly became one of his favorites has to be good enough for my amateur punk rocking bullshit. And shelling out $140 for TWO boutique effects that happen to be the exact ones I want doesn't seem too crazy to me. I'm excited for it to arrive. Would've preferred to find one of the older, larger ones just because I think they look cooler, but the above is what was available in good condition at the right price at the right time. Old one for reference:
