    The church I went too when I was a child hosted Christian rock shows from smallish artists. One of them was particularly mid, and after their last song everyone started to leave without a single person calling for encore. The band ran back out for their “scheduled encore” to a silent crowd and started playing another song while everyone left.

    I think about how awkward that was every time I go to a show now.

    In best encores, Porter Robinson played Cheerleader twice in a row for the Seattle show on his tour last year since it was going to be the last show with this big billboard on stage that they couldn’t bring on the world tour, so he got all hooked back up in his harness and they played it again. The second go was more fantastic than the first.

    Uhh, I hear people complaining about those services all the time, see Air BnB.

    Regardless, a rental car or hotel is not a living requirement like a semi-permanent home is. Definitely comparing apples to oranges here.

    You can acknowledge the benefits to renting while also acknowledging it’s an unbelievably toxic and abused system that profits off the poor for the gain of the rich.

    Until everyone is housed, no one should be profiteering off thoes that aren’t.

    Ok, I’ll bite.

    I think that if you contribute to society you are more worthy of being allowed to live. Live meaning receiving a living wage, not life or death.

    “Have a job” is one way to do that and there are many many situations in which it is more difficult for some people to “contribute” than others. But to paint anyone’s political opinion as black and white is a real right wing"ish" style attack.

    It sucks, but the libs are the lefts conduit for change. Without them we will be stuck leaning farther and farther right as the right leaners continue to actually work together to take our rights away and we waste our time infighting over stupid shit like this.
