My favorite Cake story; An American was teaching English in Japan. Some of their students come up and are like “Hey, teacher, we really like this band Cake, and we’ve been trying to translate their songs, but our translations don’t make any sense so we must be doing something wrong. Can you help us?” and the teacher looks over the translations and is like “Nope, y’all nailed it. Cake just doesn’t make a lot of sense”.

Lmao, yeah that sounds right.

idk, go through the discography, there’s a lot of weird fun stuff in there. I like Opera Singer, Pentagram, Friend is a Four Letter Word, and Comfort Eagle, End of the Movie, and their version of War Pigs.

Hell yeah, I been thru it. It’s great, I feel like I always change my mind of which album is my favourite whenever I give them a relisten.

They’re very popular with Millenials and presumably people in that cluster. Their songs are consistently weird and goofy enough that I don’t think they’re going to be very vulnerable to becoming “Old people music” any time soon. They didn’t really sound like anything else happening in the 90s and 00s, and they don’t really sound like anything else happening now. I guess some of the songs don’t make as much sense outside of the excesses of the 90s, but now they’re a weird look in to the excesses of the 90s.

That’s nice, and I’m glad to hear about the sound. I was always kinda trying to figure out what was going on with it, its janky

The day I run a marathon will be a day to remember

for context: Last couple of times I went for a run, Biden retired, Trump got shot and the CEO of YouTube died. It is just confirmation bias, but it’s a fun little joke

Would not have expected this to be a struggle session about doors lol

Yeah it’s not true. Its just some Reddit aphorism that gets passed around as fact. Up-nod or down-nod does not matter, neither are (at a universal level) related to how you know someone, strangers give me both types all the time.

Like, do you really expect some kind of report card on how good a boy/girl you were for holding open a door.

Yeah that’s a totally fair representation of what the other person was arguing, lmao. Expecting some acknowledgement for doing a small gesture for others isn’t the same as wanting a report card validating your moral character.

If so, that lowkey makes you the Nice Guy asshole, expecting extra emotional labor from that person who really didn’t ask for or even want that interaction with you.

My god, the amount of assumptions and negativity you’re projecting onto the other user here is impressive.

Look me and my friends don’t have a lot of money, and I think it’s fine we all pay our fair share when one of us hosts dinner, instead of fucking up one person’s finances for the rest of the month.
I don’t really get the apprehension some people have at that idea.

I’ll let you know when I go for another run

That’s not politics, that’s just the news. Not everything is politics, tankie uwu

Hey what’s the alternative twitter thing? Like the site hexbear wants us to use when linking to twitter?

Shit I miss tlayuda and that chocolate drink they make there. Not to mention a good taco where the meat is kept in that big bowl thing they have. Just the tortillas even, I miss them

I don’t eat a lot of frybread because you can’t really discuss flatbread without mentioning that. And I have a feeling it wasn’t the conquistadors that invented the tortilla, but I don’t know how to refer to the south american tribes.

Honourable mention to the Scandinavian Crisp Bread in the flatbread discussion. If you ever get the chance buy yourself a Vasa wheel, put butter on it and whatever else you want.

The entire Mediterranean erupt in a horrible war over who invented the concept of grabbing bread around food/putting food in bread. The pita and gyros/döner/dürum/etc.

“It looks like Turkey is winning and- WHOS ENTRANCE MUSIC IS THAT? BAH GAWD THATS MÉXICO RUNNING DOWN THE TOP RAMP AND- OH MY GAWWWWD THE FIRST NATIONS JUST HIT THEM WITH A STEEL CHAIR”.

The real answer is probably that I would be teleported to Italy though, I eat a lot of pasta and risotto. I guess I’d book a room in a hostel, chill for a few days and then see if I can buy an interrail pass outside of my own country. Could be I go to Japan though, I slurp down ramen and sushi. In that case I’m fucked.

Lmao yeah it’s a banger. Assume victory position

Not what you’re asking for, but Brian David Gilbert has made a great lil piece of analog horror
There’s also Local 58

If you’re into video games I’d recommend inscryption.

Podcast wise ghost stories for the end of the world is pretty good. Likewise the Eat The Rich podcast https://archive.org/details/Ep-001-Waltons-Re-release.m4a

Lmao

I think you are falling for what I call the “calling Warren a snake is chauvinistic” discourse.
