I was really talking about **** like Explosions in the Sky. Non-crescendocore post-rock is exempt from my contempt.

Modern Swans is like 90% crescendo, 5% soft interludes, and 5% godawful lyrics though.

Barely listened to their post-80s **** tbh. No real reason that I can think of.

I remember seeing this ad. It was the first time I had ever heard of the idea that just words could be a form of abuse. I knew that there was something wrong with how I was being raised but that really brought home how profoundly wrong. Not that it stopped at verbal abuse but that the verbal abuse was almost constant. I was called a “worthless piece of ****” more frequently than my name. On and on and on constant insults and yelling and threatening and belittling.

I’m grateful to the people who made that ad because when I realized it was abnormal it took a lot of the power out of the abuse. It made me think “hey I’m not the loser you are”

That was a great ad campaign. Those people ****ing reached me.

Thanks my man

ok. Uh. I have a pretty weird moral/philosophical question for any takers.

If Hell were real and you had the power to send a cockroach to burn in Hell for eternity how reluctant would you be use this power?

Would you send a cockroach to Hell for $20? $20,000,000?

Do you believe that a cockroach can suffer?

Obviously the question of sentience is implicit in this question.

Can I do it for free?

Blarobbarg · 05-01-2019, 03:58 PM

Yes I would send a cockroach to hell for $20,000,000. Absolutely.

I do not care enough about a roach to contemplate what suffering it may or may not experience.
