Speak for yourself, I love a good carbonized chicken

Get me a good Rhodes and I'm in bliss. A good horn section can squeeze a beautiful chord melody. And a bagpipe is what I send to my enemies.

Oh you absolutely need to replace the gnome cartridge, my dad would always freak out if we didn't. That's like day 1 of dishwasher school.

If anyone likes music theory, Adam Neely, Nahre Sol, Charles Cornel, and Open Studio Jazz are all amazing.

I really would love to hear what a non musician thinks about them too. I bet maths heads would love it.

Brian Klass is a political scientist who recently put out his own philosophy of chaos theory. I think it's a pretty useful tool to look at contemporary movements and really refutes the "it couldn't possibly happen here" message.

Pre-2011 there was a paper published on why middle eastern dictatorships were so stable. The next year almost all of them fell. Klass argues that the author wasn't wrong, they just were working with the rules and tools we knew at the time, but didn't know the rules had changed with the invention of social media.

In his perspective, the idea of a "fluke" is not a fluke at all, it's a data point showing that things are changing and changing fast. Things just feel like flukes when our assumptions of the way things work become outdated.

More like "I already am, but now I won't have to pretend as much"

I think this might be to make sure the defacto castration of the courts is now written into law

When I say "not my president", it's not me refusing to acknowledge Trump's authority/ being a sovereign citizen. It's me saying he is acting in a deliberately antagonist way. He sees us as the enemy. He isn't leading, in fact he's doing the opposite.

Here's what's supposed to be normal: even if you don't vote for someone in office, you are still their responsibility. JB Pritzker still has a responsibility to protect Republicans in Illinois. Greg Abbott still has the responsibility to protect democrats in Texas.

Hey! Vsauce, Michael here. Did you know I can kick your ass? But what does it mean to kick? And what is an ass? Turns out, kicking means fucking and ass means your mom.

 

Personally I feel more connected to the Vancouver BC/ Seattle/ Portland corridor than with the rest of the US, so I feel more comfortable saying I'm a Cascadian than an American.

 

I usually assume when Europeans complain about American beers, they just are complaining about our "domestic" beers like Bud Light, Coors, PBR, etc. which makes sense, they are our bottom shelf beers.

I recently chatted with someone at a party who said "no, all American beers are bad" including microbrewery beers.

I've never been to Europe so I wouldn't know, but I do like my Left Handed Milk Stout, NWPAs, and hell even the hipstered out IPAs.

Are these what y'all are referencing?

 

I was in 5th grade when my dad told me about the Nuremberg trials and the subsequent Milgram experiments.

Edit Wtf you sick perverts, I was talking about when your parents talk to you about authority bias and how you need to be suspicious of power structures that tell you to do things that you would normally consider horrible acts.

Jesus you can't talk about Nazis without someone dragging out Sex Ed these days smh
