They tell us "Rock'n'roll is the devil's music." Well, let's say we know that rock is the devil's music, and we know that it is, for sure … At least he fuckin' jams! If it's a choice between eternal Hell and good tunes, and eternal Heaven and New Kids on the fuckin' Block … I'm gonna be surfin' on the lake of fire, rockin' out.
Though I think texting it to you isn't necessarily an unwillingness to be an adult about it - it's likely just a difference in communication style. I text my roommate all the time when she's in the house, and she's texted me to turn music/shows down before.

I was going to post this in the GRRRR thread, but those people are upset about actual life things, so I don't wanna sully the genuine nature of that conversation.
I worked for almost 12 hours yesterday and I went to sleep at 2am. Is noon really an unacceptable time to start playing music really loud? Context: I live in the basement of this house with five other people and my downstairs roommate and I have this system where if I'm making too much noise in my room he'll knock on the wall (the wall separates our rooms by about six inches) and I'll turn it down (unless there is sex happening in which case I know that turning the music down would not be in his best interest; that fool can just go upstairs).
If you share a basement with someone and still have the sex, you have little reason to complain.
I don't know if any of you are familiar with the Koh Tao murder case (a tourist island down in the Gulf of Thailand), I'm not even sure if Western news is covering it at all really, but Time did a report on it which is great news. Hopefully more international attention will show the police that they can't get away with the BS they've pulled for so many years. The police (and really all the gov/military) here are incredibly corrupt, and it's nice to see them finally getting called out for their actions.
If you guys don't hear from me again you can probably assume I was snatched up by the government.
You mean where they arrested some immigrants and were like they all confessed to the murders? I heard a little about it but the snippet didn't question the Thai govt at all. I was like this sounds very fishy to me.

Ok so a little back story - anytime a crime (especially one like this) is committed, the govs immediate response is to deny that a Thai person could ever commit such a heinous act. They also have a known track record of pinning crimes onto Burmese (and other) immigrants. During one of the very first press conferences regarding this murder they said the same thing "This act was so viscous a Thai person could never commit it."
So flash forward a bit - they have a DNA match and everything that links two Thai people to the murder. The problem? Those Thai people are very well connected (I believe their father is a government official on the island) so needless to say they had to sweep that under the rug.
Then they grab these two poor dudes and say they got a confession. The problem? They (likely) tortured the two until they admitted whatever the police wanted to hear. Also their Thai-Burmese translator wasn't legitimate at all, he was just a street food vendor. Now these two have recanted their confession and the "star witness" they had that placed the two at the crime scene has also came out and said he actually didn't witness anything. The evidence they have linking the immigrants to the crime is a cigarette butt found near the bodies, and the woman's phone that was supposedly found in one of their rooms. The provincial prosecution dept rejected the report and the top forensic crime investigator in Thailand has also called out the errors. Oh and now the police are saying they "fear the perpetrators will commit suicide out of guilt" - yeah, by suicide they mean these two are going to be murdered so they keep quiet.
The whole thing is a complete farce and it's really indicative of the entire Thai government (and quite a few other aspects of Thai society). The whole thing has been awful, from the murder to the "investigation" to the junta's comments about "Well if they didn't want to get attacked they shouldn't have acted so promiscuously." It's too late for anything to be done now other than hope that whoever get's punished for this isn't innocent and hope that the attention the case is receiving goes to make sure future investigations are handled better.
This weekend I've been in New Hampshire, and on TV it's basically been nothing but political attack ads. Pretty soon they'll be interrupting the actual shows to show more attack ads.
I generally don't mind going to shows alone, but I have proven unable to give away a ticket to a nearly sold out J Roddy Walston tonight. Gifting it to someone at the venue is fine by me, but just further proof my friends here suck.

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

J Roddy will burn Bacon's Boring Barn down. His friends probably listen to Clutch or something along those lines. They don't know what they are missing.

Not sure which is worse, your hatred of Sweet Tea, or this meme.
I searched "sweet tea horrible," "sweet tea yuck," "sweet tea bad," before finally searching "sweet tea sucks" in order to find anything that worked. I was sick of looking

Clutch would be good compared to what most of the people I know here listen to
