If I see you insulting or being an asshole to someone to whom you are a rando jumping in their mentions, I'm blocking you just on principle.

We came here specifically to get away from losers like you and the whole Dunk Culture.

Like, free speech means you get to speak. It in no way obligates me to listen to you; indeed, asserting that I must listen is tyranny of its own kind.

I have, for years, claimed that the problem with the usual fashy "blocking is bad" crowd is that they are mortally offended at people not paying attention to them.

But the blue crew is absolutely no different.

Well, it does *cut down* on the number of randos commenting. A lot of people won't bother to follow just to comment.

I see both sides here. I think it's a little arrogant; at the same time I can understand large accounts wanting to limit their notification rate while not entirely closing the door.

With the caveat that I do not consider any song credited to "traditional" as a cover, thus eliminating Queensryche's "Scarborough Fair" from consideration...

my emotional support parasocial relationship is a one-way reverse parasocial relationship with a smarmy humorless 18-year-old elf lordling in short pants and a bow tie with 38 different tisms who doesn't know how to just STFU and leave me alone

"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley."

www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Chicago Tribune: Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents.

“I am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. “I fit the description of what they’re looking for now.”

During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she “doesn’t look like” a Greeley.

“They said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. “I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”

It reeks of corporate PR. Normal folks don't talk like this. There's no "connection" here.

Maybe there's something in the ellipsis which is human.

Okay, no, I have to push back on this.

Most people who do this are only limiting replies to their followers.

Not the people THEY follow, the people who follow THEM.

It's effectively a "stupid check", because they know perfectly well someone can just follow them, respond, then unfollow.

Something about friendship would have salvaged this

Peart’s widow, Carrie Nuttall-Peart, and his daughter, Olivia, have given their blessing to and support for the Fifty Something tour. The two family members said jointly in a press statement: “We are thrilled to support the Fifty Something tour, celebrating a band whose music has resonated and inspired fans for generations, and to honor Neil’s extraordinary legacy as both a drummer and lyricist. … As the band enters this new chapter, it promises to be truly unforgettable. We are excited to see how their new vision unfolds, and to hear this legendary music played live once again.”

...no? Side 2 finishes with Trampled Underfoot and Kashmir, it's the bomb.

Side 3 opens with In the Light.

The rest of the thing is watching the other team score 56 points.
