Reply to comment by Alaira314 in Two Baltimore Confederate statues vandalized, no suspects identified by legislative_stooge

Oh who tf cares on what the right might use to motivate their base when they’re gonna make up something to motivate their base no matter what happens? And that something doesn’t even have to be true to motivate their base.

The percentage of people this will singularly motivate is not enough to swing any election, but inflation and squeegee boys might.

But what does it accomplish? Name one positive thing that happens as a result of that, one concrete change in the world that makes it a better place to people walking around on the street. Put that in the "good things" column.

Now in the "bad things" column we have conservatives and some moderates racing to the polls, reacting to what they see as hooliganism. And this does excite their base. It works astoundingly well, especially targeted to white conservatives in the county(who have more statewide power than before with the recent redistricting).

Now, to morally evaluate the act, we compare the two columns. Is it worth it? I can't come up with anything to put in the first column at all, given that the statues had already been permanently removed from where they'd been displayed, so my math is coming up "absolutely not." Tell me what your math is that makes it come up differently.

People hate on it but some of their experimental beers have been incredible. They take more risks than most/all smaller breweries. I recall their Lemon, Lavender, and Black Tea Golden Ale being an extremely approachable beer for those who aren't huge fans of beer. Much better than yet another uninspired IPA.

It's also a great place to meet coworkers due to easy parking and huge benches.

Reply to Metal shows? by mushinnoshin

The Depot and Metro have bangerrrr metal shows on the regular. Mi Comalito has free metal shows every month. Ottobar isn't much of a metal venue like it used to be. Soundstage and Rams Head are too corporatey for me, like 14 dollar tall boys are wack.
