Said adults should be protesting their horrible government convicting people for jokes.

Is there even like a petition? Cuz folks there had a petition about Trump.

There is one, it's doing alright as well, not as well as it should be doing though. The amount of people supporting the conviction is sheer insanity, I don't understand why so many on the left are happily jaunting down the path of authoritarianism

Ngl I wish Yo La Tengo would release a new album and not just the same one they've released for their past 15 ones or w/e

It'd help if they actually wrote songs too, as opposed to 4-7 minutes of guitar ambience with some inconsequential and mostly inaudible lyrics over the top

And there are 15 tracks on this album wtf

I mean, it's nice and all... pretty textures... but who really gives a ****

So far v disappointed with the indie hero albums this year, Breeders album had very few notable tracks, GbV's album was a bunch of decent if mostly uninteresting and badly-mixed songs, and Yo La Tengo's is just another Yo La Tengo album. Superchunk's album on the other hand was pretty good with some pretty sweet hooks. Where my Pavement?

It's okay, this country can't really talk. We have teachers indoctrinated middle schoolers.

That's not even an exaggeration lol. We had a teacher force students to write letters to lawmakers calling for tighter gun control. He straight up mandated their position on the matter, lol.

Imagine if a teacher forced kids to write to lawmakers calling for abortion to be illegal...

Idk what to do when both the left and the right are so inexorably ****ed. I mean in my country I still have to support Labour because the Tories are basically just a demonic superorganism bleeding the country dry but ****ing hell I just don't understand where things went wrong, other than with the conception of human beings in general

most hipsters hope to become more obscure as they go.

but thats not the point. you do it for yourself not for anyone else.

fans give fake validations.
respect yourself sir. don't let amount of plays tell you how much you enjoy doing it.

I think it's because people have fallen out of touch with people. They see politics are defining of human life, as opposed to being born from specific moments and eras in human history, and so pile all of their faith in these flimsy ideals that frequently don't hold up to much scrutiny when applied to many different contexts. But people gonna peep so what can I do?

I need results, though. I don't see a point in doing things if they don't have impact or yield any empirical results. Doing things repeatedly without seeing any notable impact or gaining anything from them is pretty much a definition of insanity imo. I don't really enjoy making music all that much, I just get a sense of achievement from it and often feel compelled to do it by some outside force, so there has to be a point where I draw a line in the sand and instead spend my time doing something that will benefit either me or the rest of the world. The world doesn't need any more shitty mid-fi

I'm not trying to dismiss your advice or anything, I've just told all of this to myself many times and have already long realised why those arguments don't really apply to me all that much

Oshit family's round, gotta show my face and pretend I'm doing gr8 as a m8 with a pl8 of top nosh lark

We're at the point now where leftists want tv shows removed from the air because they hurt the feelings of Daivd Hogg(parkland shooting survivor).

I seem to recall there was a time when they would be all "I might not agree with what you say, but I'll die for your right to say it". Now it is "I might not agree with what you say....so you should be de-platformed".

I saw some kind of outrage at the Roseanne reboot, something about them being Trump voters or something. I don't like all of this mass censorship stuff, it's socially-imposed tyranny under the guise of social justice.

I am watching 7 days in hell
