I don’t care for MC Fronalot except that he wrote the Achewood theme song.

I will never stop being sad over when the Primus website stopped being primussucks.com for primusville or what the fuck ever.

Real heads remember that “Primus sucks” is the clarion call of people who fucking love Primus.

Beck is a tough one because he does have a lot of goofy songs, but they’re mixed in with ones that are strange and surreal but less goofy.

Debra is a great example of a funny Beck song.

Girl I want to get with you / Only you / And your sister / I think her name is Debra

Lady, step inside my Hyundai

I can never decide if this song is silly or incredibly touching and sad or all of them at the same time.

When you punish a person for dreaming his dream / don’t expect him to thank or forgive you

You are indeed correct, sir or madam or other.

Although with the explosion of new music styles, I’d argue that Primus needs its own actual categorization. Funk-Metal or something akin to that.

One Vision is a hilarious song. It’s a whole ass song about what brings the world together, and they tell us: fried chicken.

Does music that is unintentionally funny count? Like how you laugh at a bad B-movie?

Because if so…

Evidence it sent racists into a tailspin of racism:

  1. Assertion that he was not actually American citizen, born in Kenya.
  2. Assertion that Michele Obama is actually trans and their daughters are adopted. Joan Rivers just made it worse. Treating black women as “masculine” has been a long and well-worn racist trope.
  3. Tan suit. Don’t have to say much more about this one. Tons of people have worn tan suits without being hassled about it. I wonder why they hassled Obama specifically about it?
  4. In early July 2010, the North Iowa Tea Party (NITP) posted a billboard showing a photo of Adolf Hitler with the heading “National Socialism”, one of Barack Obama with the heading “Democrat Socialism”, and one of Vladimir Lenin with the heading “Marxist Socialism”, all three marked with the word “change” and the statement “Radical leaders prey on the fearful and naive”.
  5. Google is doing a pretty damn good job of throwing these ones down the memory hole, but there were a massive number of photoshops of Obama as a monkey. I also remember conservatives acting like it wasn’t a big deal because there had been a photoshop of George W. Bush as a monkey floating around since around 2004.

This was when he was running for President and while he was President. Those are just examples off the top of my head.

I don’t even like Obama. He let war criminals off the hook and then legalized and codified the worst excesses of the War on Terror under Bush.

But it’s clear as hell that his mere existence made conservatives lose their fucking minds and they’ve never come back from it.

Also, at least two of these examples have full fucking wikipedia pages for the controversy alone. It sent conservatives into such a tailspin that we have to have encyclopedia entries about these events.

EDIT: Only somewhat related, but after 4 years of Obama, the racists were fucking furious at a film like Django Unchained. So many who were like “I like Quentin Tarantino, but I’m not watching some shit that is racist against white people!” Yeah, they only like Tarantino films filled with white people dropping the N-bomb repeatedly.

This is a great post (ya fuckin nailed it) but you somehow missed Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

The Hussein middle name absolutely made post-9/11 racists lose their fucking shit. Associations with Saddam were made all over the place.

This is also when we saw a lot of these “free thinker” talking head fuckos show up, and they start filling gullible viewers heads with lies and a tiny bit of racism sprinkled in.

I know I’ve already responded once, but this line reminded me of that absolute motherfucker Sam Harris.

I am staunchly atheist and at the time it was nice having some outspoken and seemingly thoughtful atheists promoting the idea that you don’t need religion to be a decent person.

However, that quickly became an excuse and cover for racism. People like Richard Dawkins soon showed their ass and how they were just as adamant about their own unhinged beliefs as religious people. (Dawkins lost me when he suggested that children shouldn’t be allowed to read fiction or “fairy stories” so they “know how to separate fact from fiction.” What a fucking yutz.)

What’s even wilder to me is that the pipeline to racism ended up also turning into a pipeline into religion for men through the Manosphere. We literally have seen a drop in atheist men and an increase in atheist women. This is after nearly two decades of “outspoken atheists” who happen to mostly be male!

Pushing the trad-wife lifestyle and Christianity are popular as hell with young men, especially under the auspices of “controlling women.”

They still like to selectively act like they care about things like “evidence.” They are right now disingenuously presenting the long-well-known-among-women side-effects of birth control as a pretense to try to ban it.

As an atheist, watching men who started out in an atheism pipeline be brought into the religious pipeline through racism is fucking wild.

EDIT: Sam Harris was also one of those early “Won’t take no for an answer about a debate” guys when you’re absolutely not interested in a debate with them. His emails with Chomsky are a perfect example of two people talking past each other, because Harris isn’t actually as interested in listening to Chomsky (especially at first, when he says he does not want to debate.) as much as he is interested in getting his opportunity to voice his opinion at someone whether that person wants to hear it or not. There’s a lot of these fuckin guys around now. Debate me!!!

What’s worse is they’ll make young upstarts feel like “heroes” for figuring out a problem that wasn’t a problem until they lost all that senior staff.

Never realizing it wouldn’t have been a problem to solve if they company hadn’t purposefully shitcanned all that institutional knowledge and that they’re being way underpaid for solving the issue.

Then this same cycle will happen to them too, when they’re too old to change careers easily.

SnotFlickerman, (edited )
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

…and you don’t usually get into senior positions without stuff like severance being in the employment offer or contract.

The latter makes the company look bad to both the general population and its shareholders.

Tesla is a car company that is valued way more than any other car company despite the fact that it makes a fraction of the number of cars and has horrendous build quality.

You think the market is fucking rational, here? I’ve got news for you, guy, regular people’s view of this means fuck-all to these people and the only thing that matters to them is the stock price.

The market absolutely props up “irrational decisions” and cutting employees to cut costs has been a bellwether for increasing stock price for forty fucking years now.

SnotFlickerman, (edited )
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I don’t disagree that the C-suite often makes boneheaded decisions not based in rationality or evidence, but…

Constructive dismissal and finding new, unique, and legally convoluted ways to get rid of people without having to pay as much to get rid of them has been something these companies have spent literally billions on studying over 60 years. I’m old enough to remember when they re-named it “Downsizing.”

There’s a reason they all turn to McKinsey. This is literally one of the few things where they follow the data.

I would be more receptive to this idea if getting rid of senior staff to cut costs hadn’t been the name of the game for six decades or more by now. I feel like this is one issue you can bank on with major companies, they love it when senior employees leave of their own volition.

I agree, but I like to start from a position of “this person probably sucks” because then I’m never disappointed.

That Portlandia sketch with Jello Biafra waking up from a coma to the Yuppies having won was probably the only really good and well thought out sketch on that show.

SnotFlickerman,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

The sketch supports the assertion that punk died in the early 80’s. That’s all.

*throws trashcan through window

who is on Lemmy (the sociology of Lemmy)

I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn’t see anything relating to it and I’m kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.
