Probably unwise to engage but has literally anyone dunked on Harris for being unabashedly unhip? If anything, she probably gets made fun of (unfairly) for the opposite: being seen as trying too hard. I don't even get the point you're trying to make (and I like her well enough).

You have to actually do a little bit more to justify it. You know this. Some others may not.

Nerdstrom Poindexter, Friday, 22 February 2019 17:59 (seven years ago)

lol, I was last banned precisely for having "a different POV"

i forget the circumstances, but i was probably against that ban if that was the case

Trϵϵship, Friday, 22 February 2019 18:00 (seven years ago)

pretty sure if she said the same thing tit would be made fun of for being “try hard” tho

Nerdstrom Poindexter, Friday, 22 February 2019 18:00 (seven years ago)

if she said tit

Like it’s obviously 100% in line w the “inauthentic” stuff. People on this board we’re doing the “she didn’t really listen to music she said she listened to” etc

Nerdstrom Poindexter, Friday, 22 February 2019 18:03 (seven years ago)

Good morning!

Nerdstrom Poindexter, Friday, 22 February 2019 18:03 (seven years ago)

Haha love that bit

Nerdstrom Poindexter, Friday, 22 February 2019 18:04 (seven years ago)

i find nerdstrom's posts mostly pretty gnomic, hence easy to ignore

i agree w/Killer Poin here, w/Bernie it's cute because he's a white dude in his 70s. I think Bernie's appeal comes from him almost being a old dude mascot, as much as his mostly excellent positions. People would react to Kamala saying the same thing very differently, no doubt.

omar little, Friday, 22 February 2019 18:05 (seven years ago)

there's also theoretically a killfile option. i'm not a computer scientist so i don't know how to use it but i know others do.

Trϵϵship, Friday, 22 February 2019 18:06 (seven years ago)

(Speculating about a real person's death and mocking a poster's personal disaster were FP-worthy imo.)

xps It is possible that she would have been mocked if she did something totally uncharacteristic but eh.

silent as a seashell Julia (Sund4r), Friday, 22 February 2019 18:08 (seven years ago)

the 2pac lie was funny though

Trϵϵship, Friday, 22 February 2019 18:08 (seven years ago)

"I was listening to Snoop while smoking up back in the day" is not the same class of statement. Maybe if she said something like "I thought Iron Maiden was a female Marvel superhero", I could see the comparison (and I would find that endearing).

silent as a seashell Julia (Sund4r), Friday, 22 February 2019 18:15 (seven years ago)

If someone on air asked me what I listened to in college while smoking pot i would probably say something inane like the Mighty MIghty Bosstones for absolutely no reason other than to keep talking.

2020 Democratic presidential primary

steven, soda jerk (sic), Friday, 22 February 2019 18:20 (seven years ago)

Wait, are ilxors still confused about the sequence of questions she was given? One was "what do you listen to?" and another one came from the other host about what she listened to smoking pot? She didn't answer the second question because she was engaged in a conversation with the original questioner.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 22 February 2019 18:23 (seven years ago)

I would give a movement-by-movement description of the images that Close to the Edge recalled.xps

silent as a seashell Julia (Sund4r), Friday, 22 February 2019 18:23 (seven years ago)

Q:Hey so what did you listen to while smoking up in college, some Mighty Mighty Bosstones?
(pause) (pause)
A:No. No... I am positive it was a second wave ska band.

Yerac, Friday, 22 February 2019 18:23 (seven years ago)

Yeah that’s been explained several times in the thread. Not sure the confusion is legitimate as much just wanting to say she lied.

Nerdstrom Poindexter, Friday, 22 February 2019 18:25 (seven years ago)

yes if you watch the video she is addressing the guy who asks her what she listens to generally, she laughs off the subquestion about what she listened to while smoking weed.

omar little, Friday, 22 February 2019 18:26 (seven years ago)

gabbnerdstrom is the only person in the country who still gives a fuck about the Snoop thing

I didn't watch it and don't honestly care so yeah, it was unwise to engage (especially when a seasoned witch is calling from the depths of my disgrace). Apologies for the tangent.2xp

like one person posted about that thing in a negative manner. it was a week ago, and we've all forgotten about it

Anyway, we all know the real answer is like Babyface and Celine Dion.

My candidacy would be over when I owned up to coming home fucked up and watching MTV's "Undressed" every night for a year.

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Friday, 22 February 2019 18:34 (seven years ago)

Also I feel like if anyone says they are pumped about the guy who went after the parkland kids endorsing Bernie no one should bring up the parkland kids. I’d say “who cares” “who remembers that?!” etc

Nerdstrom Poindexter, Friday, 22 February 2019 18:35 (seven years ago)

^ If you're going to try and challenge people's minds and opinions, you ought to be less incoherent.

steven, soda jerk (sic), Friday, 22 February 2019 18:38 (seven years ago)

yeah that basically reads like a koan

Is this the worst thread in board history? Already?

Since I'm pretty sure that Nerdstrom is not a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, how about we agree that everyone who wants to FP him should do so at once, instead of filibustering this thread into complete irrelevance. Sounds good to me.

I will probably regret this, but I feel like the Kamala "Breakfast Club" thing isn't as clear-cut as either side is making it seem.

Here is the exchange:

DJ Envy: "What does Kamala Harris listen to?"
Charlamagne tha God: “What was you listening to when you was high? What was on? What song was playing?"
DJ Envy: "Was it Snoop?"
Kamala Harris: "Oh yeah, definitely, Snoop. Uh huh, Tupac. For sure, for sure."

If DJ Envy is simply elaborating on "What does Kamala Harris listen to?" then why does he change to the past tense? Why does he ask her specifically about Snoop?

To me, it seems like DJ Envy is building off Charlamagne's question. But that doesn't mean that Harris lied -- the tone of her response sounds sarcastic to me, like "lol u know me, always listening to Snoop."

In any event, the whole thing is stupid.

"clearly you can hear, when we play this video back at 1/18th speed, that Charlamagne tha God says...."
