x-post to self OK, I know it is fascist and am not really advocating for it BUT I saw a story about a woman who left her kids in the car because they didn't want to get out and two hours later they were dead because it was 100+ in the car. She went inside and got high and took a nap while they baked to death. She claimed she thought the three year old would be able to let them out. As someone who isn't a parent but desperately wants kid(s) this shit makes me livid.

Everyone should see Stop Making Sense at least once. Even non-Talking Heads fans. With an audience, if possible.

'Pleasure of Love' > 'Genius of Love' = not that controversial imo.


i spent literally years trying to get my wife to watch stop making sense with me and when we finally did she was pretty much all-in by time ‘psycho killer’ was over

god i need to watch this again soon

(none of these are controps tho, i will stop shitting up the thread now)

I like SMS but it's a produced, blocked and presumably practised piece of theatre just as much or more than it is a great live show caught on tape

that's what makes it so cool.

scott seward, Monday, 7 May 2018 15:04 (six years ago) link

yes but it also removes the dissonance from not liking the band so much but liking SMS

I am George III, I went a little cray (rip van wanko), Monday, 7 May 2018 15:08 (six years ago) link

Yeah, was gonna say, wanko, I think you just perfectly summed up the appeal and I don't think it pretends to be anything else. It's a concert specifically constructed as a filmic experience.

But yeah, we should probably be discussing these uncontroversial takes in a different thread.

terf bangs is inaccurate, it's a super common haircut

flappy bird, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:27 (six years ago) link

terf bangs humdrum

god, of course not everyone who has "terf bangs" is a terf - it's a common haircut as you say, and like, i know a trans woman who has those kind of bangs. it's just kind of funny because it is a common feature of online terfs on twitter or what have you. ok it may not be that funny but it's a thing, it makes sense

( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Monday, 7 May 2018 18:35 (six years ago) link

it's one of those things that works only in one direction

if you have the bangs, probably not a terf. if you're an online terf, you probably got em

mh, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:36 (six years ago) link

i don't like SMS

i don't think i want to know what 'terf' means

How many of these people are or were fans of spock and at what point in their lives

Politics reduced to a haircut. Never change, humanity.

trenchant

I mostly associate that haircut with Zooey Deschanel.

wait are these just like short baby bangs?

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Monday, 7 May 2018 19:17 (six years ago) link

blunt bangs

flopson, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:19 (six years ago) link

usually self-cut

the late great, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:19 (six years ago) link

x-post - OK so it's the self-cut and bluntness that matters not length?

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Monday, 7 May 2018 19:20 (six years ago) link

Everyone who had "mall bangs" in the 80s actually went to malls though

NO REGERTS (Ye Mad Puffin), Monday, 7 May 2018 19:21 (six years ago) link

xp yah

flopson, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:22 (six years ago) link

bangs are bad, is that a controversial opinion?

( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Monday, 7 May 2018 19:23 (six years ago) link

i like them

flopson, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:24 (six years ago) link

I would disagree with flopson, radical politics requires radical bangs therefore no nearer than 1/2" to the brow

touché. as someone who had a 'hitler youth' haircut in 2012, i am obviously biased

flopson, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:33 (six years ago) link

tbh I think the rise of queer haircuts is the best trend of the 2010s. Certainly helped me figure out what to do with my hair.

valorous wokelord (silby), Monday, 7 May 2018 19:35 (six years ago) link

I don't know what a terf bangs is though

valorous wokelord (silby), Monday, 7 May 2018 19:35 (six years ago) link

speaking of spock, i remember back when the locust etc was a gigantic thing in san diego we called the screamo haircut "the spock"

I had to google image terf bangs. They are short, blunt.

Yerac, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:40 (six years ago) link

The concept seems more nuanced than I realized.

No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Monday, 7 May 2018 19:41 (six years ago) link

These bangs are also known as having a drink and cutting your own hair or cutting your bangs before they fully dry.

its a good phrase for messing with

bert fangs (darraghmac), Monday, 7 May 2018 19:53 (six years ago) link
