  • It’s the power dynamic. A person in his position is only going to behave like everyone else thinks is OK because of social norms, but at some point those norms don’t apply. Just like no one’s surprised that Peter thiel is a suspect for his boyfriend’s death. Rich person does rich person thing and people are surprised? I just don’t get the surprise part. Grohl has probably had ridiculous amount of people throwing themselves at him his entire life, and we’re surprised that at some point he’s caved in?




  • The lead singer, Dennis lyxzen went on to do the international noise conspiracy which had songs like ‘capitalism stole my virginity’. Also, this album defined punk music for a decade. There was mainstream punk before and after. Then the guy does the next band which had the same kind of sound as the strokes before the strokes. Occasionally we’ll get artists that can see how trends are going and ride those waves. These guys did it twice.

    Seriously, check this guy and his projects out. He surrounds himself with people that get it, and he’s about as revolutionary as musicians can be.

    They wanted inc to be: ‘a cross between Elvis Presley and Che Guevara.’



  • This is the likely outcome. China would still make most of the parts, and they’ll be assembled in Mexico. It’s going to destroy US and Canada auto manufacturing. … I live in Canada, and the writing is on the wall. Our entire economy relies on housing market go up. Canada is going to be ‘third world’ in 20 years. Pockets of good services surrounded by utter poverty… I had brown outs this weekend. I live in a population center.








  • I help run a worker co-op that does unit inspections for housing co-ops.

    This sounds like a clutter scale of 4 or 5. The clutter scale goes from 1 (pristine) to 5. There are organizations in most locations that can help with these behaviors.

    At work, we don’t call it hoarding because that’s a medical diagnosis and there’s negative connotations. We always refer to it as clutter. Doing that in your conversations might help as well. Depending on their culture, they might be infected with ‘cleanliness is close to godliness’, so just be aware when you bring it up.

    Also, there’s a chance that as a close family member, you MIGHT not have the necessary compassion needed to help your parents out, but there are organizations that can help out. If you want tips on how to look for a good organization, I can provide some.
