Ugh, yeah, I watched. It was pretty great 😍 😍 😍

I actually loved when he totally trashed those politicians: "my buddy lives tech-free... doesn't even have a TV. seriously, guys, it's right there on his website" 🤣

Adam Moore said:i was born with it... 😬

Keep me in your prayers if that's actually true. 😍 🙂

So, are we actually allowed to laugh at that phrase?

Adam Moore said:I get the Depp vibe, but Bloom? Just get some blue tattoos, stick on some elf ears, grab a bow, and suddenly every girl is obsessed. Please. 😬
James Bond at least managed to charm half of New York..

No need to get jealous yet, you could always grow some pointy ears too.😍

Raymond Barrett12 said:...OLIVE oil...

😱 :zivcanislom: 🙂 🙂

Matthew and Bryan’s caricatures are killer... they look even worse than reality.😁

bad seed said:go ahead and distract her, make a scene, just keep eyes off me while I grab these two😁

Just need one🙂

Please, I'm just a figment of your imagination 🥳

Daniel Bailey7 said:Both of you studied linguistics, so you clearly don't have a clue what you're talking about. 🙄

Taking an intro to linguistics this semester. 😬

Besides, why do you think only people with a degree get to claim expertise in a field? Total snob alert. 😛

wiredfalcon2 said:uh.. the guy just denied all those news reports that twisted his words. he even went on live TV and said he never said it.

Yeah, right. Once he realized he totally blew it. 🙄

Adam Moore said:Alright, I get that, but here’s the real question (hypothetically): say a song comes along that absolutely destroys you—like, goosebumps everywhere—but the guys performing it are total hillbillies on the level of Kid Rock or some xenophobic jerk inciting hate against minorities. Would you tell people the song sucks? And would you even keep listening?

I listened to Corba when I was a kid and thought they were decent. Objectively, some of their tracks still hold up. But if I heard them on the radio, I’d switch the station immediately. If I had the record in my hands, I’d throw it out the window. It’s just a matter of principle.
Same thing applies here: I lost all respect for Noam Chomsky because of his comments regarding Jonestown. Sure, you can cite his linguistics books—the guy is one of the greatest linguists ever—but everything else he's ever written basically doesn't exist to me anymore.

Daniel Bailey7 said:Wait, who was he even asking? Some organizer or just some random punk passing by? 🤔

It's all the same thing. 😈

On topic.It’s the age-old debate in every art form—does the work stand alone, or do you need to know the artist and their backstory to actually get it? At the end of the day, someone's worldview and lifestyle bleed into everything they make, so looking into the background isn't even illogical. It kind of explains why people are so obsessed with sharing the same perspective as the creator.

That's my take. I can't even deal with this right now. Total joke. Film bios were huge for me back in my punk teen days. I was obsessed with finding people who "got" me, thinking nobody outside my little scene could ever understand my worldview. Total amateur move. Later on, I realized how wrong I was—staying in that bubble just meant I was missing out on everything. I don't even know what that means. Get it together. Honestly, I've just stopped giving a damn about the world.

Honestly, I still have this moral code that kicks in, making me refuse to even give certain things a shot. It’s about this:

Say, if some artist comes along whose music absolutely destroys you, but they’re out there openly pushing Nazism or violence against women, would you still keep them on repeat?

I think there’s a massive difference between a band "selling out" to a major label and someone openly pushing Nazi rhetoric, sexism, xenophobia, or any other kind of hateful bullshit that goes against everything I stand for. That’s why "sellout" punks still get played on my stereo, while guys like Thompson and Corba couldn't touch my playlist if they tried—even if their music actually sounded good. You’ve gotta draw the line somewhere.

Besides, nobody's even heard of them, so it's not like it's a big deal. 😬

🤣

So these are your weekly top charts? 😲 I can barely squeeze more than 15 spins out of any band, mostly because my sister and I share a computer, so we’re constantly toggling the plugin on and off.

Samuel Murphy6 said:I'll admit it—I've totally eavesdropped on people just to hear them talk. 😍 I knew where Whole Foods was the whole damn time. 😳

Top list of people you just need to listen to talk, purely for the entertainment value:

People who snort: :awwwwww: 😍
People from Indianapolis.
People who can't even pronounce their Rs.

bue said:Top 6 reasons why 😍 Indianapolis is awesome 😍:

1. Ridiculous amount of parks 😲
2. Plenty of breathing room
3. Broadway
4. People are actually decent 🙏
5. Mississippi River

I cut out the sixth one—the cathedral is fine, but it’s not exactly breathtaking... I agree with the rest, though I'd put the fourth reason at the top of the list.😍

rutvica said:I'm buying those shoes for myself. I don't give a damn 😬 if she has to walk in her old ones 😬

Top 5 things on my list before Tuesday:
1. vacuum my room
2. tackle this mountain of dishes
3. finish a 500-page book
4. grind out a term paper
5. knock out all my English homework

Laura Gonzalez44 said:why am I not #1? 😢 😂 🙂

Y'all are my favorites. 🙂

Top 3 music nerds on here I still haven't crossed paths with:

Mr. Wrong said:It’s not even about being obsessed with Pittsburgh. It’s just picking the lesser of two evils.😁

So we're the bad guys now?🙂 🙂 🙂

Samuel Murphy6 said:Last thing, most important part: do folks in Indianapolis like people from D.C. or Los Angeles better? Need to know which personality to pull out of my sleeve. 😬

Kevin Chavez3 said:Split resident.

😍 Carol Jackson45 says Kevin Chavez3. 😍 [username] 😍

Kevin Chavez3 said:That’s just a typical Washington, D.C. delusion. People around here love splitting everything into "the capital" and "the middle of nowhere," so anything outside that little bubble sounds exactly the same to them. Honestly, the accents in places like Miami or Indianapolis aren't even close to being similar.

👍

Krumpirek Quote 🤣

Samuel Murphy6 said:Yeah, I don't really get those Midwesterners. I only hang out with people from the outskirts, and even they seem a little too much like they're drifting toward the border. 🙂

I can tell an Indianapolis resident apart from other Midwesterners—they just have a sweeter way of talking. Yeah.

Unknown said:Are you popping unprescribed pills like Ognjen Cukić from the lounge lately or what?😁

Just dealing with my sister's PMS for days now. That's all there is to it... 😢

I'm with you. Arcade Fire is freaking awesome and should be playing in every single bar!

Preach.👋
