Words mean things.

I want to hear republicans defend this on the presidential debate stage.

What baggge

The Western District way!

It’s being downvoted bc reddit is full of angry white little boys who choose to pretend everything is fine.

There should be a federal law that any officer found guilty of a crime gets a 2X sentence for betraying their oath.

I mean there need to be a lot of federal laws to correct policing, but I really like that idea.

This is ridiculous:

“this hypothesis is that all of our decisions and actions are actually performed unconsciously, and then remembered consciously about a half-second later. In this way, our brains fool us into thinking we are making conscious actions in the present, when we are only experiencing delayed memories of events.”

I mean. Come on.

Right on!

My DC dirty secret is…I never liked anything Svenonius has done. He’s always just rubbed me so wrong. But the list had to be neutral! Lol.

Check out the early Dischord bands more than anything! That movement in DC was real. Some names:

Rites of Spring, Crownhate Ruin. Hoover, Jawbox, Smart Went Crazy. If you like chaos and noise, Void did that first (the bass player is one of my best friends lol).

As far as more recent/heavily influenced bands, or at least a second wave, or just post-hardcore in general:

Faraquet, Q and Not U, and a much more art-rock/glam-rock band is Shudder to Think.

(Edit: man really check out Faraquet and Q and not U. Super talented and unique bands, and very much DC bands).

Then there’s the late-‘90s/early ‘00s post-hardcore explosion, man so many bands, At the Drive-In especially (InCasinoOut and Relationship of Command are just milestone records), the Thursday type bands…

There’s also a much more musical offshoot of post-rock and post-hardcore. Check out Slint (Spiderland is a legacy album in the genre) or Tortoise or man I can name so many funky math-rock weirdo bands but you might like noisier stuff. But if you want that, for me nobody ever did it better than Don Caballero (some of those guys went on to become Battles, which is like post-modern post-rock lol).

For more chaotic stuff: Botch is fucking wild, Converge, Dillinger Escape Plan…

If you wanna get more specific I can try some more!

Alternative/Indie. Curious. Only by the strictest terms, but then again despite sounding like nobody else in the genre (or, more correct, despite nobody matching either their sound or their usefulness) they are more responsible for the existence for “alternative” rock than any other band. But that was ideological, not musical.

Hi if anyone wants to have grad-level breakdowns of Fugazi and their influence I’ll be here all day lol.

Call a legal help center. The city made your home unlivable for your children by damaging your plumbing. They should put you in a hotel until it’s fixed.

Cool stuff. Reminds me of Skinner - if you don’t know that dude look him up, super rad shit and like the nicest guy ever.
