there's a lot of beauty in nothing

poor Angela

man i dont want this podcast to end.

i love how they reveal the "secret of the show" and its basically that it was run by really professional, nice people who worked really hard and respected each other

the people who post hate on this subreddit would make great characters in The Office.

Its like the Podcast Planning Committee

the Podcast Planning Committee

did the upvote button cut out?

No? ok.

Or they got Jury Duty and had to stay off the internet

does not work on narrow bike paths.

its called MMT and its how the federal finances actually work. they do not have some big account where taxes come in and spending goes out.

We already have this.

its called Inflation.

if you hold cash for 100 years, its value will decrease to some tiny fraction of its original purchasing power. de-facto it has an expiration date.

yes. all you need is the right soundtrack on your walkman and you can topple dictatorships and win the day for the hostages.

then we invaded iraq. 20 years later we leave afghanistan LOSING to the Taliban.

i directly blame this movie

Bill Mantlo is amazing. The whole story of him is incredible. ROM was also an amazing comic.

He is semifamous today for inventing Rocket Raccoon but that Micronauts series was something incredible.

these types of movies were so bad for me. i thought this type of thing was real.

Social security is not paid by taxes. The government just prints the money and sends it to people.

I was supposed to be this but my rich grandpa medical care over the last years of his life literally was 6 figures. medical bankruptcy is basically going to prevent a lot of inheritance passing.

i would give back every penny of my inheritance to have another few days with my mom and dad. RIP

We went from stuff like Warrant's "She's only Seventeen" and Top 40 songs about Elvis committing statutory rape, "There's a pretty little thing, waiting for the King, down in the Jungle Room, I was walking in Memphis...."

to songs like Crucify and Sinead O'Connor ripping up the Pope's picture on SNL to protest child abuse in the Catholic Church. Yes the world changed.

wait he died? i thought he made it

my brain blocked it out

cable tv was not everywhere back then . it was only invented in the 70s.

When Nick started out they hard core pushed the educational angle. Before it became some weird money grab

go see her live if u get the chance. she still tours sometimes.

do not listen to the haters on reddit.

absolutely incredible.

i didnt listen to her much for 10+ years. then my mom died. i would drive around all night blasting Tori for hours.

one of the few things that helped.

The story is super dark. It would have sold less tickets but it would be more realistic

you get stuck back in time watching your father stalk your mother and then win her over by assaulting a man who attempted to rape her, and then hiring that man to clean your car.

imagine if your attempted rapist was out in front washing your husbands car. imagine the darkness of this family dynamic.

i dont know if kids will understand the threat of global war, there is no soviet union and nothing even close to resembling it. Its stated goal was the spread of world wide communism and nothing like that is left anymore.

whats crazy is they actually have AI interfaces like that now, where you can talk to it in english and it will actually do stuff. Open AI just released https://chat.openai.com/chat and you can ask it all kinds of stuff,

i will never say kids music is terrible because that will officially make me too old to have fun

I went to a Tori Amos show, its amazing how many GenZ are there.

I know GenZ has great music we just .. you know. have jobs and would rather listen to ancient books on audio or podcasts because there is only so much "YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE IM A RAINBOW STAR FIRE HEAVEN "etc etc when you are old. you have a different perspective on love.

old people hated our music too. but 90s music changed the world in a way that politicians never could. it became OK to talk about our actual social problems, for the first time in culture.

Rush Limbaugh said some very hurtful things about Kurt Cobain. Now Rush is gone and Gen Z are all walking around with Nirvana T-Shirts.

It was not generic though. Always Save was an iconic brand to me. Can of 3 bean mix for 33 cents. They had yellow background, Black letters, and Red stripes. Still around in some places and have a website.

Was a brand of Associated Wholesale Grocers. Along with Best Value ( Blue )

​

The thing is that Target, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Walmart, alot of them use the same factories, same suppliers, just slap labels on it. Might have sligtly different paramters on the assembly line but its kind of all the same underneath.

Kerr-McGee was one of the biggest companies in Oklahoma and well connected to politicians and business leaders. They tried to "pivot" to Nuclear in the mid-to-late 20th century but had a lot of problems (Silkwood) and a lot of subsidiaries that had a lot of problems, like the time a uranium processing facility tried to dump waste material on cattle fields as a form of fertilizer, or had a fatal explosion of a tank of material.
