I don’t dislike any of the acts you mentioned. I don’t like them either, but if any of their songs come on I switch the station.

Train I actively dislike.

AskReddit would shrivel to three posts a day.

And half of Reddit would demand that the lead be played by Chris Hemsworth.

Every band that I hate has one song I really like. That one is Train’s.

ReactsWithWords

Not just the sound. Also the look. I mean, look at this photograph!

ReactsWithWords

Oh, come on! There's more to Canada than Nickelback. They also gave us Celine Dion and Justin Beiber!

ReactsWithWords

I can't figure out why they're shorthand for "band that sucks" when the band Train is RIGHT THERE.

ReactsWithWords

Onion Bubs!

Oh, I know if I were at the party who I would want to see (and it's not Elton. I mean, I'd love to meet him, but given a choice between him and Kate it's no contest).

ReactsWithWords

It should be "she couldn't have made a worse move," much the same way "I could care less" is incorrect She could make a move that would be described as worst, and indeed she did. Which is why she couldn't make one that's worse. The thing is, it doesn't change the sound nor the scansion if Kate chose the correct word; why didn't she?

As for "freezed," it should be "froze." "Freezed" is not a word, at least not a correct one.

With Beatles: Octopus’s Garden (admittedly it gets a couple of extra points having been written by him)

Solo: Photograph

Least favorite solo: You’re Sixteen. Even back then it came off as a bit creepy.

A long, long time ago.

Was my very first car ('72 orange Beetle, bought in '82).

OK, of all the fuckups the DNC has ever made, the biggest one was probably how they handled the 2024 election, you'll get no argument from me there.

Even so, there is no number large enough to calculate how much better Harris was over Trump. Hell, even John Fetterman (I bet the DNC nominate him as candidate in 2028) would be a zillion times better than Trump.

In an arcade down the block near where I used to work there was a video jukebox and this was one of the selections. More than once I would go there and play it on my lunch break. Sadly, the video jukebox, arcade, and place I used to work are all no longer there, but now we have YouTube so I can watch it whenever I want for free!

He's the 47th best president right now. Next when president gets sworn in, he'll be 48th. The one after that will push him to 49th. Then 50th.

So technically, if the next three presidents have a full 8-year term, it will take 24 years to push him out of the Top 50 list.

ReactsWithWords

Well, too be honest I would rank him in a list of Top 50 best presidents. I can think of only 45 who were better (and I'm counting Grover Cleveland twice). 46th worst was President #45.

ReactsWithWords

Donald Trump was not voted into office by Republicans. He was voted into office by Democrats who stayed home election day.

ReactsWithWords

Ranked voting is a good solution. Unfortunately, that was voted down. I hope this idiotic idea is, too.

ReactsWithWords

This is an eight: 8 (as in the title). This is a three: 3 (nowhere in the title of the post).

ReactsWithWords

Yes, the DNC should certainly be held accountable for doing nothing and giving us horrible candidates, I totally agree with you there.

But the time to do that is the primaries and midterms, not the general election. Learn to pick your battles.

ReactsWithWords

What do you mean? It’s going to be a dis for a long time - “Kid Rock couldn’t even get a hit song with Eminem!”

ReactsWithWords

Yes, showing the DNC by not voting worked so well in 2016 and 2024.

ReactsWithWords

Maybe not deported (although their families and loved ones here on a green card are), but definitely detained.

ReactsWithWords

It’s still wrong, and everybody knew it was wrong for hundreds of years but still use it, and that’s sad.
