I live in a city where most popular bands tour, but I definitely would travel internationally to see a show just to make a week out of it. I was considering going to RAtM when they were in Europe, because I couldn't get good seats in the US. I definitely would have gone if I could have gotten better seats in Europe. Alas, couldn't get good seats there either

I haven't seen it a million times (3-4, maybe?), but the word "flibbertigibbet" lives in my head rent free

Oooodelolly!

Seriously. He has a significant body of "work" on which to draw from. Like almost a decade of televised rambling, hip shot word salads...

I've only rated the velvet underground and nico album one star because I personally don't consider it actual music. Because of that, I have a hard time rating music I "just don't like" as one star because it's recognizable to me as music. So, I rated this one two stars.

I was surprised to see you rated a Clapton album so poorly because I like him (musically) quite a bit. We have really different tastes, and I think it's cool to know there is stuff that absolutely is not for me that is a five star album for someone else

Really? Wow.

New one for me: treasure by the cocteau twins

I have literally never seen anyone idolize homelander. This is like Marilyn Manson getting his ribs removed so he could suck his own dick: often repeated, never substantiated

I watched the Challenger disaster on the wheelie TV cart

That's funny. It's a play on an album name and motel 6

It was baby cats

the fact that admins and mods didn’t care makes me understand why they felt the need to point it out in the comments

That is EXACTLY why I did it. I thought that if I could get more users to report those accounts, and if they did, the mods and admins would do something about it.

Not coincidentally, /r/wholesomememes was the worst of all the subs. The overwhelming majority of obvious organized bot rings were operating there. The mods told me they knew and didn't care because it was an opportunity for users to see content they hadn't seen before (completely missing the point)

There was r/catsstandingup(?) as well that just responded "cat." Never considered the conspiratorial angle there...

If I cared about reddit anymore, I'd dig into that

Lol. There is no way to do it efficiently. I did it in the way you described every time, and I reported literal thousands to reddit's admins (and never got a single response) and was banned by multiple subreddits because I was "annoying" when I reported bots to sub mods. I also called bots out in comments and provided evidence when I did. Nobody cared.

When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I rolled out. I didn't realize how bad reddit had become and how much I hated the site. I'm much happier here with less content and without a bot infestation. Additionally, I'm sure users, mods, and admins WOULD care if I reported that sort of thing on Lemmy

I was a bot hunter on reddit and was asked to mod /r/kittengifs because of my ability to find them. There were like 5 legitimate posts in 6 months

Even if it was wholly yours, they could still legally seize it

Is it even possible to own an Orange County?

You're correct; this isn't news. He's trying to cash in (same with Mary Trump), and the news outlets are too. Anything with trump in the headline generates clicks/ad revenue, so they'll run anything regardless of its actual news value. We should all be downvoting these articles and otherwise discouraging people from posting shit like this

I saw them a few weeks ago too, opening for Foo Fighters. I was quite surprised at how good they all still sounded

They were DEFINITELY there last night when I looked. Maybe he's getting some backlash and has pulled some products off his site

The signs are manufactured by a "conservative street artist" on a web store called "unsavory agents." There's a lot of really gross shit there
