  1. Was it you that got the light for that? Have you tried it yet?
  2. That sounds annoying in a different way but still super annoying.
  3. Do you get those annoying auras? I can't see for like an hour when a migraine is starting.
  4. Pedophiles like you.
  5. So are the girls you chase after.
  6. I've found the best way of convincing the rich of anything is with one of these:
  7. Just because it didn't work the way you wanted it to doesn't mean it didn't work.
  8. Too much pressure, I can't handle it.
  9. We should bring back Bachanalia.
  10. That's exactly why the station got rid of the song: they don't want people doing just that. The free market still works sometimes.
  11. Right. None of that matters. Even if every possible aspect of the song lines up in the positive, as I'm sure the song writers intended, the song still depicts a scenario that resembles countless real life rapes. In fact, seeing it in the positive light makes it worse because it condones a culture in which men are supposed to aggressively pursue women.
  12. Wow, that's awesome!
  13. I've never cooked with a stove top like that. How is it?
  14. That would be pretty dope.
  15. .... What?
  16. Was the late delivery due to none of the female drivers feeling comfortable going within 200 feet of your home?
  17. "No means no" is important, but most experts in the subject think the ideal is affirmative consent or "Yes means yes". It seems ridiculous, but you have to keep in mind that in many rape cases a woman may not feel safe saying no. There are too many situations that don't fit into the simple framework of "yes or no". The problem is attitudes in both times. Like it or not, the situation in the song directlt mirrors countless actual rapes, again, even if the intention was otherwise, even if the attitude of time recognized the intention, and even if idea in the song is that he "convince her". This kind of mind set can very very often lead to rapes occurring. Hell, in some cases the guy might not even realize what's happening. If a guy thinks he's got to constantly push for sex and won't get affirmative consent, he won't realize he needs that, and a woman may fear angering her unwitting rapist. That's just one of a myriad of reasons we need to get away from this culture of agressive courtship. This song directly represents that culture. We can't just pretend that's ok. It's progress to recognize that the attitudes and mindsets of the past weren't always right or ethical, and even if they were held with good intentions they have had some extremely negative consequences. You're right about the "impressionable young man" thing. That still leaves listeners who might be victims of rape. And ultimately, anything that maintains the flaws of the mindsets of the past needs to be recognized for what it is, and not glorified. Hell, play it on the air, but acknowledge in the same breath what is wrong with the song. Or don't play it. This radio station made a responsible choice with that in mind and i see no problem with that. It's not as if the song was outlawed.
  18. "If she didn't want it she should have fought back" has probably also been said in defense of rapists in countless cases. I mean, I get it. It's probably not the way the song was intended, but it IS way too close to examples of rape for comfort. I get that you like the song and it may even be important to you, but a radio station has to think about all of its listeners, including impressionable young men who may not have someone able to explain the subtleties in the differences between rape and a woman playing hard to get. It also, and most importantly, has to think about it's listeners that may have been victims of rapes that look a lot like the scenarios depicted in the song. If your taste in music is more important to you than the well-being of those people, I'm sorry. But this is progress, like it or not. I would hope you'd be able to recognize the issues here.
  19. Even if the hypothetical womanin this song really does want to stay, it's not really good to promote this kind of thinking because in so many cases this WOULD be rape and I'm sure do many rapes have been characterized this way by the perps. If a station decides they don't want to play that song, i don't see a reason to be upset about it. And isn't this the whole idea behind a free market?
  20. I want to know what a room entirely coated with vantablack would look like with a light in it. If nothing in the room reflects light, will it just seem like a single light floating in an endless void?
  21. I have a couple tramadols I'm waiting to take. If i need them. I thought my back was gonna be fucked today but I'm mostly ok so we'll see.
  22. You one upper!
  23. I want to use it for a fun house. Imagine using that to make people think they're walking into the abyss.
  24. That's about the same for me. I can lift 45 but i stick with my 35lb dumbbell as well. 45 is too much to do right.
  25. There's an extra syllable, so maybe "fuck it off" or "flip me off". I'm not sure.
