So I don’t really worry about getting caught “not peeing” or whatever, but I do often take a moment or two to get started… and I also frequently attend concerts.
I never worry about being watched, but boy do I feel like a jackass sometimes taking thrice as long as everyone else when there’s a line out the door between bands…

I had to read Water Malone 3 times and still didn’t get it until I said it out loud, lol

Honestly beyond the tacky 'Murica theming here, I still don’t understand how or why energy drinks became the new de facto drink.
Far as I can tell, they’re just sodas that taste bad? I’m not exactly championing soda as some positive thing here, but exactly what have we gained by replacing 70% of the soda section with “energy drinks”?

I’m just glad to have been around to witness the biggest loser on the fediverse crash out. Terrible stuff, but a wonderful show

I agree with everything @Trampampoline said but will add that frankly “What the fuck’s up, Denny’s?” is just such a hilariously surreal statement in the context of the music that it was just instantly meme gold.
And if you liked that, check out Live Without’s album; it’s not revelatory or anything, but it’s a totally solid, aggressive, and fun hardcore release.

Power-frowns is the funniest way I’ve ever heard somebody refer to stank face, I love it so much

Show me where I said underaged in my comment. We’re talking about legal smut for consenting adults, chill out.
And yeah dude, that would be fine if the point was to call out trash in anime, but it isn’t, the point of his videos is to celebrate the trash. We aren’t talking about PG-rated anime sneaking in gross pedo shit into their shows for children here (which is unquestionably gross), we’re talking about ecchi shows made explicitly for adult audiences with the primary intent to titillate.
It’s not like The New Yorker doing an exposé on the porn industry, it’s like the porn industry doing a sensationalized preview for a video called “Extreme Anal Nurses Gangbang 7” then finding out that the movie in question actually only features one nurse and she’s fully dressed the whole time.
Take your pearl clutching somewhere it’s at least halfway appropriate, please.
- Comment on Yeah i'll have a large coke and a - 1 week ago:
That would be the one.
Anytime I post or see clips of the small hardcore shows that happen at the pizzeria near me, the comments are always full of “whoa Denny’s Grand Slam energy!”
- Comment on Dumbass 1 week ago:
His channel drives me nuts because he’ll act like some anime is the lewdest, trashiest piece of smut he’s ever seen then you go to check it out yourself and it’s like, two brief panty shots.
Look dude, if I’m coming to restaurant called chez garbage, I’m not here for the slightly soggy fries appetizer

Just fyi for anyone not in the know:
Amongst fans of hardcore punk music, the show this screen cap is from is known as the “Denny’s Grand Slam” and is literally legendary

I understand your philosophical argument, but imo the moment you compare running over a frog to hitting a child with your car, personhood becomes real obvious.
And frankly, I don’t feel the need for some air-tight philosophical package to claim it. Species-based tribalism is, in fact, sufficient cause to me.
- Comment on Philosophy has peaked. Checkmate atheists 2 weeks ago:
Meat consumption definitely requires death and meat consumers are absolutely the reason for said death.
Granted it isn’t murder, because that has additional meaning that requires personhood, but it is absolutely still death, no question.
- Comment on Philosophy has peaked. Checkmate atheists 2 weeks ago:
Such as if you paid a friend to run it over.
That’s still you committing a roadkill, just second hand.

Wouldn’t you rather describe your view as “so far what I’ve seen hasn’t been art to me, and I don’t really care to investigate further” and leave it at that?
I guess I just believe in people’s ability to use deductive reasoning and common sense and don’t feel the need to couch my statements in every possible caveat.
Plenty of games, movies, tv, dances, are explicitly art. Plenty of them are also not.
I believe in the indomitable human spirit and the endless potential of human creativity. I believe anything can be made art through human determination and inspiration. Of course I believe wrestling can be art because nothing humanity touches is outside the realm of art. And of course I concede that without having witnessed the whole of wrestling, it’s possible art has been made in or through it. None of that changes my position that wrestling, as standard, is not art. I don’t understand what you or anyone gains from intentionally missing the forest for the trees by insisting on pedantry and narrowing on hypotheticals, edge cases, and exceptions while ignoring the reality of the mundane standard.
I’m so tired of having to say shit like “in my opinion” and “I think” as if people can’t fucking infer the obvious; this is the same.
- Comment on Niche meme alert 🚨🚨🚨 4 weeks ago:
Where did I once say importance or beauty? That’s not what defines art. I asked what the subtextual message is and what greater message about the human condition does it point to?
- Comment on Niche meme alert 🚨🚨🚨 4 weeks ago:
What fucking part of that is art? Do you people just think that all media is automatically art?
It is okay to be entertained, have fun. Just don’t put your fun entertainment in the same category as The fucking Odyssey or a goddamn Rothko.

What is the subtextual message of wrestling? What greater point of the human condition does it point to?
Saying fast food isn’t haute cuisine isn’t being close-minded, it’s being accurate. Same shit applies here.
You aren’t being open minded, you’re lacking discernment.
And again, this isn’t even a value assessment. I’m not going to lie, I personally think wrestling is stupid, but I’m not insulting it by calling it kitsch. We all love tons of things that are kitsch; kitsch is not a negative. It’s just not art, holy fucking shit, people.
- Comment on Niche meme alert 🚨🚨🚨 4 weeks ago:
Tons of popular things are art. Nothing I said suggested otherwise.
- Comment on Niche meme alert 🚨🚨🚨 4 weeks ago:
And you think wrestling is the space where artful stunts are happening? Be for real.
Kitsch isn’t an insult. A lot of things we love are kitsch. It’s just a designator between that which used the techniques and skills of art to create that which entertains but does not meet the trappings of art. Hubble miniatures are kitsch. Most sitcoms are kitsch. And wrestling is absolutely, 100% kitsch.

Performance kitsch, let’s not sully the word “art” unnecessarily here
- Comment on Niche meme alert 🚨🚨🚨 4 weeks ago:
Wrestling is just failed stuntmen performing stories written by failed screenwriters. I just wrestling fans the exact same as I just people who recreationally eat glue.
