If you want to give it another shot, in addition to some of the more iconic songs (black, even flow, daughter, alive) there are a few just below that level that you might like (go, corduroy, dissident, given to fly, yellow Ledbetter). But the real way to give them a shot is to watch their full concerts from the first couple years when they were together. Specifically, watch the pink pop performance from the Netherlands in the early 90s. That will give you a better idea of what the actual experience was like for people that had been, at that time, given nothing but boomer rock and other things that denied the reality of the shit sandwich Gen X was being served. If that doesn’t at least pique your interest a bit more, then they really aren’t for you and that’s ok.

The people in here saying they are a bad copy of nirvana or that can’t forgive them because of the shitty imitators that tried to ride their coattails are off base in my opinion. On the former, it’s like they heard that one clip of Kurt Cobain trashing Eddie Vedder and decided to run with it (and apparently ignored Kurt’s later retractions and apologies about that, admitting that he was essentially being an edge lord shithead, which he had a really bad tendency to be). On the latter, Creed sucked but that’s has nothing to do with Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam other than the fact that they basically cribbed off of their sound and image sort of but badly. That would be like not liking The Simpsons because you think Family Guy is bad.

What the fuck did I just watch

Fair. Your way is certainly more epic.

Yes. Up stream.

Haven’t you basically done everything needed to escape the solar system by the time you do the burn to turn back again?

slight quibble: they advocated for the jury to nullify the law, not to nullify the jury (but you are right that it is shocking the judge let them do this)

This article is great

Then why don’t the Dems rally behind any of the other white guys?

It can be 2 things

Yeah and it only lasted like a couple months at best

This is the shit I come here for

don’t even bother counting.

Wish I had know this tip earlier. Got to five thousand something, lost count and had to start over.

9/12 - No cars south of 14th street

What norm against forcible conquest?? Even ignoring Palestine, what the fuck was Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, all of south and Central America at least once per country, half of Asia… I’m trying to limit myself to relatively recent history and the US by the way.

Finally, a real hot take

And also with the number of school shooting per year in America and the increase belligerence of the occupation of the West Bank, coincidental events are actually pretty likely

Actually, while they call them steamed hams, they are obviously grilled

I’m no expert or gun scopes, but wouldn’t looking down the scope backwards make the mistake immediately apparent?

Or is the whole point that he was just wildly firing off a few rounds into the open ocean for the photo and not even looking or caring where it’s aimed?

It’s antisemitic because it is an inversion of reality where, instead of seeing “Israel” as a major tool of US/UK imperialism and that’s why their predominantly Christian people fully support and fund (and arm) it, they cast the imperial powers as being controlled by the so-called “Jewish State” playing into the antisemitic trope of Jews controlling the world. It’s also counterproductive for “leftists” to shift the blame away from the governments of the US/UK (and others) to their client state.

why does no one complain about this?

He complains to his audience of fellow complainers who complain about women all the fucking time
