Self care is stupid I want to beat my dad with his own bones

Everyone may *think* they hate country music, but when Jolene, Before He Cheats, Take Me Home Country Roads, or Life is a Highway comes on, everyone is suddenly a liar.

[daywatch]

I know this is a funny post but

There are a few major points in Country Music’s history that got the entire genre labeled as ‘annoying’

Post 9/11 nationalism

A term that I couldn’t make up “Bro-Country” which intensifies themes of booze, objectifying women, and partying that were present in past decades but not to such an extent

This is Gospel Music But With an Accent

Now looking at the songs op listed there is

A woman pleading to another woman

A woman wrecking a shitheads life

A guy loving the scenery of where he lived

A song that could easily be mistaken for a number of other genres

But it is easier to say that one hates country while privately enjoying select songs than explain why one doesn’t like the current market oversaturated with our nation’s problems of nationalism, sexism, and so on

[brunhiddensmusings]

see also jhonny cash/willie nelson era songs which were deeply emotional stories often about painful and deep subjects. prison, loss of loved ones, hard labor, facing despair, passion. ‘ghost riders in the sky’ and the like are also deeply satisfying as they bridge more into folklore then ‘murica fuck yeah im sponsored by bud light yall’ another example- ‘midnight in montgomery’ where hank williams junior sings about the ghost of his father

“ … And felt the wind die down, And a drunk man in a cowboy hat, Took me by surprise, Wearin’ shiny boots, a nudie suit, and haunted, haunted eyes, He said: “Friend, it’s good to see you, It’s nice to know you care” Then the wind picked up and he was gone, Was he ever really there? ‘Cause when the wind is right, You’ll hear his song, Smell whisky in the air, Midnight in Montgomery, He’s always singin’ there, “ the reason we ‘hate country’ is because we know its supposed to have FEELING and its infuriatingly absent now

70s country - bluegrass traditional

80s country - power ballads

90s country - pop crossover

00s country - white supremacy

salt & vinegar chips are snacks for fucking masochists. literally the entire flavour of the goddamn chip is “acetic acid, which will hurt your tongue, and then just salt on top of that to hurt it worse”. it’s brutal. this chip is designed to hurt you

[maxknightley]

yeah and it kicks ass

[pajamaslam-deactivated20190101]

the switch from ‘a girl worth fighting for’ to coming upon the decimated village in mulan is THE MOST kick-in-the-teeth mood change IN ALL OF CINEMA

[furikomaru-deactivated20190920]

That scene shift did more for our generation’s understanding of the horror of war in ten seconds than Game of Thrones did in eight seasons, and it did it without showing us a single dead body. 

[libertarirynn-deactivated202006]

Remember when they subtly but clearly told us a little girl had been murdered?

[norseminuteman]

It’s almost like you actually don’t need to depict graphic murder, rape, and torture to elicit a serious and emotional response from your audience. 

[tikamoinzeb]

Plus now Mulan/Ping had a girl worth fighting for. The little girl who owned that doll

[iamalivenow]

say what you want about buzzfeed unsolved but lets be honest with ourselves, the theory that shane is a demon and that’s why they never see any real supernatural bullshit is so much funnier then ghosts just not being real

IMPORTANT HEADS UP FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS!

There is a company called “Vector” that sends out “work opportunity” letters in the mail for graduating seniors. It’s a scam. They promise a nice $17 an hour for zero experience which should be a red flag. It’s a multi level marketing scheme that preys on kids trying to make money for college and it’s gross. If you get one of these letters in the mail, just toss it in the recycle. Some of you may have heard of this or have already received one of these in the mail, but I just wanted to post about it just in case!

[pissvortex]

they did this shit to me too but they had no information about the company anywhere on the flyers and the website for applying was just a google form which should have been a red flag but basically they wait until you fill out the google form and then reveal that they are Vector Marketing. their scheme is they make you buy like $100+ worth of knives and tell you to sell them all to your family members in exchange for a cut of the profit. i ignored them once i found out but they started like sending flyers to my mom somehow

[dingdongyouarewrong]

here’s a list of similar multilevel marketing scams! notable ones are itworks, amway, lularoe, herbalife, scentsy, younique, monat, beachbody, mary kay, and more. you might even see some of your peers advertising for them on facebook or instagram, but always remember to google the companies’ income disclosure statements. you’ll quickly find a solid 95% or so make no money from these schemes at all, and about 90% actually lose money. be careful y’all!

[thesinnohleague]

I made content for u I hope you like it

hot take: hrt, gender therapy and trans surgeries should be free

[cloudsinsummertime]

if cis people don’t have to pay to have a body that doesn’t make them dysphoric, neither should trans people

[daisto-deactivated20181027]

So by that logic does that mean that I should get anti-depressants and all the other pills for my mental issues for free because the people who don’t suffer from them don’t have to pay to have them?

[cloudsinsummertime]

yes

[fun-with-colors]

And does that mean that corrective lenses should also be free, because people with good vision don’t need to pay to see clearly, and that devices to aid in mobility for people with limited mobility (from crutches to (practical) canes to wheelchairs to prosthetics) should also be free, because people who don’t have limited mobility don’t need to pay for them?

[cloudsinsummertime]

yes? why does everyone in the notes keep trying to come up with gotchas lmao everything to do with healthcare should be free

[tabbytheravioli]

Then by that logic, healthy food and clean water should be free because without food and water we will die. Also, without water, hygiene will be minimal therefore increasing the chances of disease.

[bintilleil-deactivated20200510]

Yes. People should have access to a healthy happy life and the whole point of a society is to support eachother and work together. how brainwashed by capitalism are you to think food and water shouldn’t be free in an ideal world.

[cherryseltzer]

this post is such a wild ride every time. ‘so by this logic, people should have free access to the things they need to live and survive?????????’ like yes bitch, all of it !!!

How he tries to balance himself on the lowers steps

This man has definitely fallen after or before this was shot.

Prime example of a man redefining what it means to dream.

[themorallibertine]

[anadiableau]

Okay but honestly fucking shit like this when they show Zuko’s scar side when talking about Sozin and then having the bar pass and have his non-scar side when Iroh says Roku is his great grandfather if EXACTLY the kind of shit that elevates this show to where really no other show has ever come and probably never will

[pococurantesupremediety]

But ALSO can we talk about the fact that every single shot of this conversation is framed so that we see Zuko through the bars but we always get a close-up of Iroh’s face with no bars in the frame because IROH ISN’T THE ONE IN A CAGE.

[aseriouscomedian]

His name is Mehdi Sadaghdar. He’s an electrical engineer who definitely knows exactly what he is doing to himself in the name of teaching people the dangers of playing with electricity.

He has a YouTube channel here. He actually has some really informative content if electric current is something you care to learn more about!

[greenekangaroo]

oh thank god he knows what he’s doing

You’re either a vodka gay or a wine gay but at least we can both agree that beer is for the Heteros
