Welp, at least I landed a part time that pays 21/hr. It's 48 hours over 2 weeks, which means I should be earning around $1700/month. 😮💨 Feels rough going from $3200/month 😕
small business owners are some of the most entitled people on earth, they're like "no one is buying my product, merely because it sucks ass, this is everyone else's fault but mine, and that's why we need to legalize slavery,"
Rock bands used to just write about whatever the fuck. Not to be all "old music was better!" but when's the last time the world's highest selling band released a song about killing people with hammers. The Who made an entire rock opera about a deaf, mute, and blind guy who is so good at pinball that he inspires a cultlike group of devotees who think he's the next christ. It was released at the peak of their popularity and was made into a movie featuring people like Elton John and Tina Turner.
I think classic rock gets a reputation for being all about girls and cars and drugs but for about 15-20 years there were absolutely no rules on acceptable song subject matter. Pink Floyd has a song about a gnome going on an adventure. Alice Cooper has a whole album about breaking out of the Ableist Insane Asylum because he misses his dog. These weren't weird little indie groups, these were all highly successful charting bands getting radio airplay and selling out stadiums.
We need to bring this culture back. No more love songs. Sing about wizards.
The post-Sonic 2 Japanese Sonic the Hedgehog comics add one bit of lore not found in the West: Sonic the Hedgehog is actually the heroic alter ego of a timid, cowardly, light blue youngster in glasses named Nikki Hedgehog. Nikki has to deal with the fact his girl-friend Amy is attracted to Sonic.
