Unseen started the topic The women are taking over in rock and metal in the forum Small Talk 2 years, 4 months ago
The ladies are starting to be where it’s at in hard rock and metal. And, no, this is not another post devoted to appreciating The Warning. This is for the rest of them, though I can’t disallow that there may be occasional comparisons.
Larkin Poe specializes in Southern-fried blues-rock, and boy do they know how to put on a show.

I suspect more lives would be saved if everyone had a defibrillator with them than if everyone carried a gun. There is no lack of evidence that countries where gun carrying is rare have far, far, far fewer gun homicides.
One can’t form rational public policy based on black swan events.
So, what is a “black swan event”?
Here are the key…[Read more]

Unseen started the topic Libertarianism is a cult in the forum Politics 2 years, 4 months ago
A cult is obsessed with a set of beliefs that “explain everything” or else they revere and follow (or even worship) an individual leader or thinker who they believe has it all figured out. In the former case, for our purposes it’s a set of ideas they think are undeniable and are thus sacrosanct. In the latter case, there is one libertarian…[Read more]

The same reviewer gives a very astute analysis of the song Animosity, pointing out details I was unaware of. Of course, he has technology I don’t have at hand allowing him to isolate voices, drums, guitar, and bass. I now have even more respect for Pau’s drumming!

If you’re a woman, a man who loves a woman, or just someone who thinks they ought to be able to buy a condom, you need to vote for Biden, because Trump will try to please the craziest of the right-wing MAGA theocrats.
Whatever you can say about Biden, you can’t say he’s a theocrat.

Sunday School 2 years, 4 months agoObliquely related to this week’s sermon:
The number of Muslims will nearly equal the number of Christians around the world.
Atheists, agnostics and other people who do not affiliate with any religion – though increasing in countries such as the United States and France – will make up a declining share of the world’s total population.

So, making human chimeras has been going on for a while now. I hadn’t really thought about it before. Anyway, your point?
If some say we shouldn’t kill animals for human sustenance, what about the ethics of wasting one to save a human, in this case, a comedian? I hope the remains of that little piglet ended up on someone’s table or some…[Read more]

No fallacy. It’s a dilemma even by you description. There is no third horn. One has to choose and not to choose is to choose. Biden isn’t nearly as bad a choice as Trump.

Sunday School 2 years, 4 months agoI buy into the argument that vegans kill animals through opening up wild land to agriculture to grow all the additional vegetables.
I’m aware of the counterarguments, many of which would work if something very unlikely were to happen: everyone becoming vegan.
Instead, we’d have vegans causing the destruction of wild land which would involve…[Read more]

The rumors are true. Band Maid and The Warning will be collaborating. As the viddy suggests, collaborating raises practical questions.

Trump promising a “bloodbath if I’m not elected.” Yes, on the surface, he’s talking about the car industry, but one of his specialties is that of using an unspoken subtext to say something instead of or in addition to the words actually leaving his pie hole.

Trump is worried about going to prison and is doing everything he and his lawyers can do to delay trial dates to keep them from giving the voters the final word on his crimes before the election.
Actually, his best Stay Out Of Prison Free card would be a plea of mental incompetence. If he’s smart and can set aside his fragile ego for once, that…[Read more]
