    I see where you are coming from and I think this is an interesting observation. Especially when talking about companies and people moving apartments every year. I grew up in a hous…

    Definitely. Stooges were more proto-punk but their influence on metal and everything else is undeniable. Like the others, Iggy is a god as well.

    If there’s no bug infested dreadlocks then it ain’t sludge! Except Dixie Dave. Eyes crossed from Jim beam and cough syrup works too.

    Doom, stoner doom, stoner sludge. Bands like Sleep, OM, Electric Wizard, Weedeater, Dopesmoker, Satans Satyrs, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Salems Pot, Acid Witch… there’s so so m…

    That’s interesting. Somehow my brain never really put that together. He was obviously ripping heavy blues and innovated more than anyone before and arguably since. Thanks for addin…

    I am completely against the outrage and drama cycle of all media. But as a matter of fact, this is clearly what drives views in today’s world so it’s nice when someone consistently…

    I don’t think I’ve read a Reddit thread in the last few years that didn’t devolve into politics on the highest upvoted comments fairly quickly.

    The “system” is comprised of normal people. These normal people are vastly more concerned about furthering their own career,ie “Winning”. No one should trust this system to ever fi…

    Reading this makes me think of the effect of doing something you do all the time, and are pretty great at, but when someone is watching you, you inevitably make a stupid mistake. I…

    The defeatist attitude in the reply’s to this comment are unreal. Try hard or don’t. It’s up to you. At least with the one way you might have a chance.

    What is the other way of going about things? Assuming you will fail and never trying?

    You can choose to think that op meant only the most insanely rich billionaires. I thought they meant their actual experiences with peers. Cut out the outliers and be realistic and …

    Do they actually pay less in taxes because of this? I’m not arguing. That is great and I would appreciate if you could provide a source for me to read.

    Do you mean therapy is designed to teach outcasts how to fit better into the machine? I would agree with that, and while I hate that it is partly true and reject anything like this…

    Oh I was oversimplifying for sure and like most things in life it is very dependent on who you are and what type of therapist you have(lcsw,psychiatrist,psychologist,practicing RN,…

    You are definitely right about the financial barriers. I’ve struggled to find one every time I have switched or lost a certain insurance coverage too so there is a shortage even if…

    I used to think that therapists were ridiculous. But after having one for six or seven years now, I realize that it’s literally just someone you pay to help you be the happiest and…

    How exactly do you think these insane people are able to spend that much time and also have enough of an audience to sway anything?

    I thought this would be inherent just on their training? There are many multitudes more Reddit posts than scientific papers or encyclopedia type sources. Although I suppose the lat…

    I find this interesting. I've always described things from the users point of view. Like the left side of a car, regardless of who is looking at it from what direction, is the driv…
