The other day I was seeing 13.1 million people, now I’m seeing 4-6 million, these are some big gaps.

A ton of people either way, but anyone know why the discrepancies are so big?

I can’t even imagine how people are counted for things like this. The one I went to was in a town of about 100k total people so I’m sure it was on the smaller side of things, but if asked how many people were there I’d guess around 2000, but that would still just be a completely wild guess essentially. Is that how they count attendance for these things, wild guesswork?

Yeah, you’re absoutely right here, neither the Daddies nor the Zippers were ska bands. They were part of that brief lived big-band/swing revival in the 90’s you mentioned.

To get a little pedantic about it, the real defining trait of ska is the “ska rhythm” where the guitar plays on the off-beat, or the upstroke, or “skank”. is a pretty good easy to hear example of that guitar rhythm.

But to most people, the thing that was most noticeable about ska at first listen was the horn sections. Especially in the 90’s third wave, when rock and rock adjacent bands were not really using horns anymore. So it was really easy to lump in both CPD and SNZ as “ska”, as they both came out around the heyday of third wave ska, when the Bosstones, Reel Big Fish, etc. were all blowing up, even though they didn’t use ska rhythms at all.

One thing that is kind of funny to me is that Sublime was way more of a ska band than either of them, but since they didn’t have a horn section, I never much heard people refer to Sublime as ska.

Yo I think you got the wrong number.

No, it will be on steam day one. They had to figure out a new way to shoot their sales numbers in the foot.

Doesn’t look exactly right to me, but it might be a Wagner tuba?

Look, you’re a textbook, I get that you don’t wanna say fuck.

But fornicating is right there.

Yes, but only for already wealthy corporations.

If you’re gonna be so aggressively prudish to consider this “adult content”, at least don’t be so whiny.

Albanese is superior to every gummy brand.

He claimed he has “nothing” except for two houses, which he claimed are in the process of being liquidated, and a truck.

Motherfucker owning multiple houses crying about how he has “nothing”. Fucking hell. But I guess if they’re being liquidated he should have the funds to pay his fine pretty soon, right? Right?

In general, recipients of UBI end up in better employment positions than they had before receiving UBI. That means they pay more in taxes and contribute more to society. They also are in better health, which means those that were truly poor and on medicaid before, are no longer costing society as much in medical costs.

But keep licking that boot.

You know why governments exist? Like, at their core? To take care of the fucking people living under them. It’s why village A stopped attacking village B, cuz they realized that, if they pooled their resources, they could defend against the fucking leopards and bears better. So yes, your taxes would go up. But you know what? Unless you’re actually rich, and not even like net worth of 3 million dollars or something, that ain’t even rich, but unless you’re RICH rich, you’ll get more throught that “handout” than you would pay in taxes. And the fact that it’d be funded through your taxes means it’s not even a handout to begin with! It’s a government SERVICE. The thing that made banding together in groups of more than a dozen people sound like a good idea in the first place.

Now, as for your point of having a lot of money not obligating you to support bums… well, first. Fuck you. You’re an asshole. And second, 50% of homeless people in the US are former foster kids that aged out of the system and have no support network. So I guess just fuck them, they get to die on the streets, right? Bad luck to not be born with wealthy parents. And historically, having a lot of money DID mean you had an obligation to support these so called “bums”. From the '40s to 1963, the top tax rates were ~90%. On the ultra wealthy. The Rockefellers and whatnots. Now it’s what? I dunno, 30%? That is, if you don’t use creative accounting and just make it .01%, which we all know is the typical practice. It’s not a handout, it’s making these rich beyond rich fucking assholes pay their fair share. But you can keep licking that boot, because, sure. Someday, YOU’LL make it. And when you have more money than you can possibly use in your great grandchildren’s lifetimes, it’ll be really important to you to keep some just turned 18 year old kid, who bounced around the foster system his whole life, and has no support system at all, out of housing. Good for you.

You know, you’d get it too. The population is the beneficiary. The subsidizer would be people like Musk and Dorsey. by taxing them.

Slay the Spire - a roguelike deckbuilder is a lot of fun.

I haven’t actually tried it, but Balatro has made a lot of waves recently and I imagine you could play that with only mouse.

Also, what kind of mouse are you using? If you’re still on a no thumb buttons mouse, you should definitely upgrade. If you only have 2 thumb buttons, as is most common, I’d recommend looking at something with more. My mouse has 3 thumb buttons, and two extra index finger buttons. and while some people like that mouse (i do) some don’t, so I can’t say whether you’d like it, but I will say the extra buttons have allowed me to set up a lot of games that would normally require a keyboard as well into a more mouse only friendly experience.

I don’t speak Spanish, but based on the absolutely tiny bit I do know, would this mean quesadillas would become “little cheesies”?

Apparently he’s nonpartisan, at least according to this daily beast article And while I agree with you to an extent, the REAL Republican thing to do would be to not resign, and try to blame the city attorney for hacking his phone.

There’s a whole community for this garbage at feddit.org/c/nicole

I recommend you all post this crap there instead of in memes. This isn’t a meme. It’s spam. And I don’t really need to see it more than I already get in my DMs.

The literal rest of my life will be spent trying to fuck over America and Americans.

As an American, I’d just like to say we absolutely deserve this.

The difference between 1 billion and 1 million dollars is just about 1 billion dollars.

And maybe you could find a house for 70k in your area, but that is not common at all. The AVERAGE home price in my area is 525-550,000.

Having a single million dollars just does not mean you’re rich these days.

If you don’t wanna click the x link, here’s what it says in full:

This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.

It seems that @elonmusk

made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.

In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new

beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.
