1. I will never understand the current fad of super low cymbal heights, e.g. crashes just barely clearing the top of the rack tom. Every time I've sat behind a kit set up like this, I've found it excruciatingly awkward and uncomfortable, almost painful, and I'm 5'-7" on a good day these days (I'm an inch shorter than I was 5 years ago, WTF!?). Also, every engineer you work with will hate your guts because your close mics will be bleed city.

2. Do white women understand that making a "V" with your index and middle fingers is only a peace sign when the palm faces out? Like, if you're aware that you're effectively flipping the bird and just doing it for the lulz, I think that's awesome and I support that, but I suspect it might not be the case...

I just want even less.

What about when Winston Churchill does it? Definite FU, right?

FUCK YEA BOIIII

I really like it when Martin Fry goes I-I don't know the answer to that question / if I knew I would tell you

It doesn't necessarily frisson me but I get verklempt

Why pay up the wazoo for a Zildjian K cymbal when you could just buy a cracked Zildjian A for cheap and get the same basic sound?

I know not everyone has seen many of the Cyber Trucks in the wild, but here in Austin they are fuck-everywhere. Plus I live about a mile and a half from the Tesla dealership. I literally see several of these fucking dork trucks every day. Something I have not seen once? Anything in the back of one. Sure, they have a bed cover, but if you have a pickup truck, it's because you haul stuff, at least from time to time, no? There's no fucking plumbers or electricians or any tradesmen working out of these shit boxes. I've seen them taking up 2 parking spaces in various parking lots, but I've never seen one hauling a large tool chest or home appliance. Fucking stupid ass vehicles. And the delicious salt in Musk's tears, as he questions the hatred towards his beloved Teslas. May they all catch fire.

Gang of Four was on the Karate Kid soundtrack.
