I saw that Costco had a pre-order for the Xbox Series X (sold out) with "bonus controller" for $549.99. How is that a "bonus"? You're paying $50 extra -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 9, 11:07 3

- 6/7. No Pixies. -- nm* - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 9, 11:28

        I won't argue about it but I'm glad to see you gave them and De La Soul a vote. If my vote had counted De La Would have made it. That's big miss for - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 9, 11:06
        
        BUT the one I didn't get in was De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising. So I'm all over the place. -- nm - VolnHELLk Oct 9, 11:02 1

So, apparently the Democrats are only pushing the 25th Amendment commission now so they can depose Joe after the election and have Kamala take over. -- nm - znoooooooo!!! Oct 9, 10:36 31
- Since it requires the cooperation of the VP, I have no idea what the endgame is here. -- nm - Baron Someday🎩 Oct 9, 10:53 8
  - I think it's just to see if they can get Trump to stroke out. -- nm - Reagen Oct 9, 10:56
  - I don’t actually think it does, explicitly. -- (edited) - znoooooooo!!! Oct 9, 10:55 5
    - "Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress..." - Baron Someday🎩 Oct 9, 10:58 4
      - You could read that as either A+(B or C) or (A+B) or C. -- (edited) - znoooooooo!!! Oct 9, 11:00 3
        
        It was my understanding, that there would be no math -- nm - decline Oct 9, 11:02
        
        Not with the word "either" in there you can't. -- nm - Baron Someday🎩 Oct 9, 11:01 1
        
        Fine. Read the actual words, see how far that gets you. -- nm - znoooooooo!!! Oct 9, 11:15
  - I still wonder if it's a Supreme Court confirmation stall tactic. -- nm - Dano Oct 9, 10:55
- Back to dog whistles, eh? -- nm - David Oct 9, 10:47 1
  - That too, probably. - znoooooooo!!! Oct 9, 10:52
- Why would we want to dispose of Joe? He’s not amazing, but he doesn’t exactly suck. -- nm - Qale Oct 9, 10:47 8
  - Kamala must be the super socialist controlled by AOC and the muslims. -- nm - Max Oct 9, 10:54
  - Because Democrats are all violent leftist commie extremists, and reasonable-seeming Joe is their Trojan horse. -- nm - znoooooooo!!! Oct 9, 10:48 1
    - And I post my 2020 Attack Diagram again! -- (pic) - Qale Oct 9, 10:51 [Attachment]
  - That this is their bugfuck theory makes me wonder what the hell they would like to do. -- nm - Reagen Oct 9, 10:48 4
    - It's just a thinly veiled threat of "You don't want eight more years of a Black POTUS, do you?" -- nm - David Oct 9, 10:51 3
      - I remember reading things from people four years ago, "Hillary may win, but at least she'll be dead in six months" - Reagen Oct 9, 11:23
      - “She’s not black.” Another dumb fuck argument I’ve heard. The hits just keep on coming from the wise and wonderful world of Twitter. -- nm - Qale Oct 9, 10:52 1
        
        "...but still black enough to be afraid of!!!" -- nm - Reagen Oct 9, 11:20
- I would actual prefer Kamala over Joe, so while I don't like the theory, I would be happy with the end result -- nm - Walt_Disney Oct 9, 10:44 2
  - I'm not really voting for Joe, I'm voting for his posse he's bringing with him. -- nm - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 9, 10:52
  - Right? - znoooooooo!!! Oct 9, 10:46
- Buwhaaa -- nm - Epiphany Oct 9, 10:44

- I feel sad for people who live so paranoid. -- nm - Reagen Oct 9, 10:38 3
  - Eff you too, buddy! -- nm - Shirley Manson Oct 9, 10:45

No Paul's Boutique or Public Enemy means the list is suspect! -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 9, 10:33 21
- There’s a Beasties album nominated. -- nm - Qale Oct 9, 10:47 11
  - But it's the wrong one. -- nm - Dr. Kevin Christie Oct 9, 10:49
  - I saw that. It's the wrong one. I get why it was nominated but Paul's Boutique is so far and away a better album. - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 9, 10:49 9
    - Well yeah. I totally get that. But I am willing to bet that Paul’s Boutique is the album that people bought *after* they were introduced to them. -- nm - Qale Oct 9, 10:55 3
      - Sure but it's the better album and the list was for the best albums. I can argue this all day but in the end ST leans towards other music. - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 9, 10:58 2
        
        My difficult in compiling the list was that I’m not as past-oriented in my music. I’m not nostalgic for older music. I’m tired of it. -- nm - Qale Oct 9, 11:03 1
        
        Understandable. I was stuck in the past for so many years. I've only recently decided to try and listen to more current artists and music. -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 9, 11:10
    - Wait, did you nominate Paul's Boutique? Cause I did. if both of us did... -- nm - Dr. Kevin Christie Oct 9, 10:52 4
      - I missed the nominating. I only saw it after he closed the voting. -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 9, 10:53 3
        
        Daaaaaang. The hell is wrong with the rest of you?!?!?! -- nm - Dr. Kevin Christie Oct 9, 10:54 2
        
        ST doesn't love hip hop -- nm* - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 9, 10:55 1
        
        I swear I considered it and thought it was too obvious. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 9, 11:35
- The Public Enemy album I would nominate for something was released in 1990 -- nm - crash davis Oct 9, 10:38 4
  - PE's first three albums were all impactful (to me). - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 9, 10:41
  - That's a great album for a 90s list, no doubt. - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 9, 10:41 2
    - Your comment stands, but it had to have 2 nominations (I nominated it). -- (edited) - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 9, 10:43 1
      - This is all I can think of... -- (link) - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 9, 10:48 [youtube]
