Business professional & content creator for a limited audience. Failed musician. Not part of any team. I am just as unpleasent in person as I am on the internet
Down almost 20lbs over the last 3 months, and all I've done is track my caloric intake and I go for walks 6x a week.
It really doesn't have to be any harder than that for most people.
At one point during the 2024 election cycle, Trump was promoting a massive "Great American Fair" for the 250th anniversary. He proposed the Iowa fairgrounds for it and promised each state their own pavilion
I was really excited about this idea. The 1893 World Fair (celebrating 400th anniversary of Columbus discovering America) was a massive event, years in the making. It's covered by history books.
I knew that 2 years was not really enough time to make something that tremendous happen, but I had hoped that Trump might push forward that vision and that some passionate people might bring it to fruition. I hoped to travel to it this summer with my kids.
What a wonder it would have been, to see each state proudly represent itself to have a grand event that brought us all together for a singular moment.
It's awful that such a grand idea has eroded into this sad display.
Her cleans are truly special, in rarified air not just in the metal space but all music. But where her real power lies, I think, is in her absolutely upper echelon vocal fry and gutteral low growl. If she can formulate a head voice scream like Courtney LaPlante... Jesus christ.
All these artists pulling out of the Great American State Fair, but I bet Trapt would take it on. The only challenge would be the singer would have to get coverage for their Applebee's shift. Nothing says "Happy Birthday, America!" like a set opening and closing with your divorced Dad's 18th favorite song "Headstrong"!
I just randomly walked up to my front door at the exact same time as an Amazon delivery guy was putting a package on my front porch. We made super awkward eye contact, and he slowly backed away.
I'm just gonna throw myself directly i to the sun now.
I wanted to yell out "No, I wasn't waiting for you like some freak, I just wanted to go outside!"
Did I? No. I just gave an awkward wave, which DEFINITELY made it look like I was waiting for him.
When I was growing up, you could flip mattresses over and they lasted 10-15 years before suggested replacement.
Now, you can't flip them and they suggest a new mattress every 5 to 8 years.
I hate it here.
@philthatremains Sadly the MAGA base won't vote for him, certainly not without the blessing of their God king. It's a more hard-core version of the Clintons/Obamas giving their thumbs up/down on Democratic candidates.
