The traditional metal instruments don't really do anything different from western metal, but it lays down a solid foundation for the eastern instruments, which add an interesting element.
The english lyrics were just as nu metal as I was expecting, though I'd say a touch uninspired. Change the city name and those lyrics could have been written and sang by that guy anywhere in the world. I could listen to the Indian lyrics with the metal backdrop any day, though, that was certainly interesting.
Definitely a toe tapper, a nice break from the almost exclusively European and American based bands that I typically listen to, even if it is nu metal in 2024. For me, folk metal is always a welcome addition.
On the Rineck Scale, I give it a 3 out of 4.
A coworker actually referred to trump as daddy once. Out of dead silence, he said to another coworker, "You know, daddy is gunna be in the area soon." I continued to evesdrop, as I wanted to hear who coworker #2 thought of as 'Daddy' with no context. He hesitantly said the names of a few managers in confusion, and the first guy corrected him and mentioned it was the former president.
I'd rather not talk to them, unless it's for camping supply recommendations.
Saw an episode of doomsday preppers years ago. These dudes had a whole property out in Oregon or Washington state designed to endure a potential onslaught of zombies.
They had to quickly evacute their property and leave all their fancy stuff, because of a very real forest fire that came to visit, for which they were entirely unprepared.
Ah gotcha. I didn't see it as the two being equal in their levels of out of touchness. No discussion is required on Trump's level of disconnection with the common person. Hopefully they'll make him dig his grave with the golden spoon he was born with.
Harris is certainly out of touch, and while not at the same level as Trump, she's certainly closer to him than she is to us, despite whatever summer job she's had.
If you'll allow an interpetation of their comment, it read to me as them saying Trump and Harris are similarly out of touch with the common workers.
Harris even said that she only worked there for a summer to earn some extra pocket money, no one was relying on her income for housing or to be fed.
It's certainly a far cry from people working a fast food job as a second or third job to keep their kids fed, which I believe to be the people she's trying to connect with, which I see as disingenuous.
If it's even true she worked there, I wouldn't put it past a politician to lie about something like that to connect with common workers. Kinda like that republican who borrowed a family to take pictures.
But for the sake of the discussion, let's say it is true. A summer job is still not the same as the reality of wage slavery that many people are suffering through, which Harris did not.
It's called the Ratchet effect. Republicans move everything to the right, dems keep if from moving back left.
Did anyone else have a ton of trouble making sense of the headline? Granted, I'm not exactly sober right now, but that seems confusing.
If the highly publicized project 2025 and constant rhetoric is all you're going off of, you're not paying close enough attention. The right is propping up a dementia patient like it's Weekend At Bernie's, and they're doing well.
Trump is backed by some of the world's richest people, and a super power that is known for propaganda and disinformation. If you can't tell which way the pendulum is swinging, it's not my intelligence that should be called into question.
The right learned from their mistakes when they tried to rig the last election, and they've been putting in the work. I don't know if it's naïvitè or arrogance to believe that you putting a check in a blue box is going to stop the storm that is coming. If you're waiting for November to see if you're going to be safe, you are well behind the curve.
All that bad stuff you mentioned is going to happen, they've stacked the deck and they're counting cards. This democracy is already done, you just don't see it yet.
At the end of the day, all you have control over is what you support, and apparently you're cool with supporting genocide. I'd like to be able to live with myself and not support an ethnic purge. You're going to come up with all these reasons why you're fine with selling Palestinians up the river, and still lose.
