It doesn’t seem like this was always an issue. To me it seems like we sometimes get an over-the-top provocateur or two who suddenly become very active in these threads, stirring up bad feelings, and eventually they wander off or calm down and things return to normal. Except lately they haven’t...

I never got the full story from her, but there was something about ban threats that she felt she never got a proper explanation for, and at a certain point she just pulled up her stakes and left. Admittedly, she did violate posting rules on a regular basis…

If you don’t understand the humorous relationship between the phrase “don’t let the terrorists win” and U.S. politics, then perhaps you need to do some more research before commenting in this thread. Also, even if you took it at face value, where did I say that all those who disagree with me...

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna206103 So when are we going to get some justice for Dean Phillips, who called for this back when it was still possible to have a full, open primary, and was willing to sacrifice his position in Democratic leadership to try to jump start that effort?

Don’t let the terrorists win. Seriously. The only way to introduce more sanity into the situation is to stick around and push back on the nonsense, rather than letting the loudest and most obnoxious voices in the room drown everyone else out.

…or those types of responses have already been provided, then summarily ignored, or dismissed as “not worthy of a response”, or “whataboutted” by people who aren’t interested in having an actual conversation so many times that further engagement becomes pointless. Have you also “observed” which...

He often peppers these sorts of caveats into his comments during the panel discussion, so they don’t wind up in the clickbaity clips, but they are there when people have the full context. I think a lot of the people complaining about Maher are either seeing clips from Club Random, where he’s...

I probably wind up agreeing with Maher about 75-80% of the time, and I can totally relate to his observation that he’s stayed in the same place while many of his more left-leaning friends have gotten more and more progressive over time, leading to the conclusion that he’s somehow swung to the...

So interesting to hear the continued hatred for Mandrake, when for me it’s just a very middle-of-the-road record. I’d take Mandrake over TM or BTP any day of the week.

Yes, let’s remember that it only feels like an eternity when you listen to Virtual XI — it’s not actually an eternity.

This was to avoid tying the hands of doctors in edge cases where you might have to make a mother-or-child life & death decision in the third trimester. No one’s running around getting casual late-term abortions as far as I’m aware.

Biden was an actual moderate who took a public left turn to pick up more base voters. Biden won. Harris was an actual hardcore progressive who publicly flip-flopped on multiple major issues to try to appeal to the middle. Harris lost. Preexisting branding and perceptions of authenticity...

Gotta say that’s the first time I’ve read this particular criticism of the album. Most seem to think DOD sounds muddy as hell, and the games they had to play with the remaster seem to bear that out…

Peart was one for the ages, clearly. Irreplaceable. That said, I’ve been getting my Peart itch scratched lately by Mark Zonder (Warlord, Fates Warning), who manages to embody parts of Rush’s mid-80s style pretty well (along with a heaping helping of Journey) with his A-Z project with Ray...

Reread the messages and it will be clear that your stated point of view here is cherry-picked, and I already answered your questions fully and explained my continued use of “CCP”. I will not waste the time looking up the link for you.

Because you desperately want to be seen as some kind of counter-culture intellectual who can “read between the lines” and “see what’s really going on”, so you’re willing to put in enough effort to paint that picture at the 10,000 foot level, but not enough to actually back it up when it receives...

Got a chuckle out of this Blabbermouth article with Herman Rarebell patting himself on the back for his supposed lyric-writing ability: Rarebell also talked about the inspiration for the lyrics to "Rock You Like A Hurricane", which was released as the lead single from SCORPIONS' ninth studio...

Yes, anyone who hasn’t read 1984 yet absolutely should.
