Yikes. Netflix is hellbent on extracting maximum revenue possible, regardless of how shitty their product gets in the meantime.

Quite a few. I grew up in a conservative, racist family. It took me a long time to unwind the problematic casual phrases I grew up with. I'm not proud of it, and I occasionally cringe looking backwards. I realize now the tremendous weight and damage those phrases could do. Now I just try to be better day by day, and to make sure I don't perpetuate those damaging habits in my own children.

You say "used to". Has it been overfished?

 

In the spirit of building out this community, I'm creating a playlist of the songs released in a past few months that I found most compelling.

Note that not all of these are pop punk, but the genre is relatively nebulous anyway. Also note that while I have a very diverse musical palette, my strong preference is for music with great lyricism.

Let me know your thoughts! Tracklist:

  1. What Hurts the Most - Trophy Eyes
  2. Clean-Up Crew - Spanish Love Songs
  3. Outlook - The Front Bottoms
  4. Gans Media Retro Games - Hot Mulligan
  5. JOBBO - WSTR
  6. LIKED U BETTER - Jeff Rosenstock
  7. We Didn't Start the Fire (Re-Imagined) - Fall Out Boy
  8. Fail You - Movements
  9. GODDAMNITALL - The Wonder Years
  10. Sean - Trophy Eyes
  11. NYE - Local Natives
  12. Cast Iron Skillet - Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit

My wife got me a fitbit. I resisted a little bit because I didn't want to have yet another device to monitor, charge, and maintain etc. I've been really surprised and impressed and how effective it has been in subtly encouraging me to make some small improvements in my habits. Not a bad deal for $100.
