The level of detail in the penis silhouette is commendable

Thank you! I don't think I ever watched more than one or two episodes of season 4

What show/movie is this meme from? I'm pretty well rounded, but I can't place it at all

Damn fine cup of coffee!

Yeah, that's a decent way to put it. Or a lack of a reasonable amount of empathy.

Edit: libertarians are Prosperity Gospel paladins with wisdom as their dump stat.

I'll disagree, slightly. They can also be:

  • starting from flawed premises (aka "The world is a just place" or "a just god exists")
  • Inexperienced edgelords
  • Arguing in bad faith (or just "I've got mine, so fuck you")

I say this as someone who flirted with libertarianism in my early 20's due mostly to a conservative religious upbringing. I'm not super smart, but I flatter myself to say that I'm above average intelligence and education, and there was still a brief time in my life when libertarianism served like a valid ideology. It took actually reading some objectivist philosophy and simultaneously reexamining and then rejecting my religious background before the flaws became evident.

Maybe it's because I've become a pretty outspoken anti-theist, but after growing up and being exposed to better theological and philosophical arguments, I've come to the conclusion that Lewis is an overrated hack.

And yes, the Silent Planet books were absolute torture to get through.

It's not that they "no longer have the ability." Most people have never been able to comprehend things on that time scale when it's happening in real-time. It's only after the fact that people are able to look back and see clear signs and the early groundwork being laid.

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,

Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Exactly. I think we actually "started" just by giving them coloring pages of cartoony fantasy creatures and characters and then making up stories about goblins and dragons on our morning walks, which in turn got them excited about their characters and miniatures and rolling dice

 

New Occult doom rock trio with a very "classic Sabbath meets Jefferson Airplane" sound. It's a little early to tell, but they appear to be worthy successors to the throne of Witch Mountain.

I saw Alkaline Trio at the 2002 Warped Tour, which was fantastic (edit: in retrospect, I'd say 2000-2003 was truly the Golden Age of Warped Tour) Out of all the amazing bands I saw/discovered, the one I still listen to to this day is ETiD, so I connected my favorite song from the 2002 era, "Ebolarama"

 

My favorite song about circles

 

"Go back to sleep!"

It's been linked before but it's been stuck in my head ever since the Luda song got posted

When I clicked link to the Sunn O))) song, YouTube Music's next recommendation was for Sleep, so here's my favorite "single" by that band, "Dragonaut"

edit: If I was to link my favorite song by Sleep, it'd be Dopesmoker, but not everyone is into an hour-long album consisting of a single song, so I usually play to the masses

In the Don Henley song, he references "a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac," but in the cover by The Ataris, it's updated to "a Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac," so I thought of the title track to my favorite Black Flag album

"Le Freak" is a prime example of funk/RnB evolving into disco, so I always need to follow up "Le Freak" with one of the three best disco-funk songs:

Today I posted "Car Wash" because that intro is so completely capitvating and unlike most anything else from the disco era (although I suppose the same could be said of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood")

 

Hot rods make me think of greasers and pinup girls, which makes me think of psychobilly

Plum's connection to Gomez got me thinking about songs and bands that are tied to specific memories, which reminded me this song by Islands, which I listened to extensively while on one of my first and best vacations I took with my wife.

edit: Also, this is a fantastic summer/tropical holiday song

Something about the delivery on the chorus by the vocalist from Girl in a Coma reminded me of the singer in this song by Placebo.

Also the singer from Placebo is pretty androgenous, which continues the whole Bowie theme, too .

 

Our Raw Heart by YOB (2018) on the left and Grief's Infernal Flower by Windhand (2015).

For those that haven't heard these bands, they are both are fantastic stoner/doom releases, but within those subgenres, they couldn't be more different, IMHO.

YOB is more proggy and sludgy with some fairly mellow melodic songs and very deep, introspective lyrics. They are known for having pretty long songs, even by stoner/doom standards, with 10 songs over the 10 minute mark on their last three albums. Adrift in the Ocean and Beauty in Falling Leaves are both pretty good entry points.

Windhand is slow and heavy as fuck, with a pretty psychedelic sound and dreamy, reverby, clean female vocals, which I've heard called doomgaze. Frankly, there's not a bad entry point, but Grey Garden and Forest Clouds were two of the first songs that got me into doom in the first place

 

Time for some epic, doomed Mork Borg TPK's.
