"Bon Jovi for Goth Dads" is the other one I enjoy. I love Ghost, Tobias writes exactly the music he wants. Not trying to be metal, he was heavily influenced by og heavy metal (Sabbath) and the theatrics of the glam/hair metal era (Kiss). Combine the two and ya, that's just Ghost.

It's very intentionally campy and fun, like year round Halloween.

It was Lewy Body Dementia. He had periods of lucidity and in one of those decided that he no longer wanted to live as a prisoner in his own body, and a burden to his family because for all intents and purposes his life as a functioning human was over.

Honestly his entire circumstance is a shining example of why we need a death with dignity law.

Which one do you have? That is pretty much my exact use case!

I imagine it's probably something to do with the live piercing, which I assume to be hook pulls? Needle play really icks some people out, but I don't know if it would be visible from an opera stage

Exactly. The whole exchange seems like it caught him on the back foot and wasn't something he was prepped for so he felt he had to explain the entire situation and got lost in his story and never put a bow on it. When the moderator pressed him after he had finished he followed up with basically "I misspoke, I apologize, shit happens".

Meanwhile Vance refused to give a solid answer on who won in 2020, but people say he took the debate.

He did answer it, literally said he misspoke but he was there during the summer (iirc).

This is literally the first time I have seen Things Fall Apart mentioned since high school, 20yrs ago.

Good book, kinda got ruined by the typical over analysation of a HS English class though.

Kinda like that big infographic of logical fallacies. Honestly there seems to be a core set of like a dozen scams and everything from there is derivative more or less. Kinda love it when I hear of some actually clever way of stealing people's money as opposed to just grift or obvious lies.

First glance I thought it was Boston, so yea UK likely.

Boston has a whole road that is the physical manifestation of Chaos.

Storrow Drive. Runs along the Charles and is basically the northern border of the city. It has many underpasses, most of which are low enough to munch moving trucks. Every year around late Aug early Sept when college kids are moving in a few trucks get Storrow'd. It's refered to as The Storrowing. It's a fun time to need to get around the city.

Honestly Storrow is one of the scariest roads in New England, and I used to drive every day to and from work almost the entire length of Memorial which is on the opposite bank of the Charles which is a NARROW four lane road (2*2), with a speed limit that is both probably too high and completely ignored, on top of being almost eternally congested. How I didn't see a horrible wreck every day confuses me still.

tl;Dr: Don't drive in Boston unless your ready for some fun (I love the chaos)

MH4U (on 3DS) is what got me hooked! Still maybe my favorite, it just had an obnoxious amount of content. Still have my CirclePadPro around somewhere...
