OT: The Avalounge: No Politics in the Lounge

You bet!

I’m a schweddy balls guy myself

Nuts in baked goods are somehow even worse.

So true. Why would you ruin brownies with nuts?

 

[Foppa2118]

Those long winter nights, man. That's got to lead to some bleakness of mind eventually.

I've noticed that is a pretty common theme in Finnish metal. Insomnium is pretty similar in their lyrics, as probably the most high-profile Finnish metal band in the world right now.

I don't know this band, so at first I thought you were saying insomnia is a common theme in Finnish lyrics.

I was like, "that makes total sense" with their 24 hours of sunlight in the summer.

You all have horrible taste and should feel bad.

Say's a Post Malone fan.

...Ok but don't diss pecans

I...I can't explain my obsession with this song

Who's dat

The biggest recurring disappointment in my life is biting into a warm, chewy chocolate chip cookie, enjoying those first few moments of bliss, and then crunching down on a nut of some sort. Total buzzkill.

Does anyone get a laugh out of the advertisements they use on this site? A site geared towards hockey fans, why the f*** would I care about what I dream of genie looks like at age 90

Apparently there are now trigger warning disclaimers on older TV shows and movies if they have "outdated views, cultural references or stereotypes". That definitely happens with TV shows and movies but hey, figure that out without a trigger warning.

Archie Bunker (All in the Family) would make a lot of people cry.

You don't like Ma Baker?

Saw this on the news:

"Prime Minister thanks Finnish people for sisu and resilience"

So go f*** yourselves, guys.

If you can't jam to this song you cannot be my friend.

Deep Blue Sea is such an underrated film.

One of my favorite movies is Lawrence of Arabia from 1962. Almost four hours long with no female speaking parts about a Brittish officer leading arab tribes against the turks during WW1. It has Alec Guiness (English) and Anthony Quinn (Mexican) playing the roles as beduin leaders.

Some would probably view it as a very problematic movie.

 

[JLo217]

Couldn't even wait a month into 2021 to get this snowball rolling downhill again could we lol?

 

[Islay1989]

Everything seems like a Monty Python's dystopian movie that was never made. It's laughable, yet frightening at the same time.

I tried to make it through that movie and couldn’t make it through the whole thing for some reason.

Along the same vein, though. I was watching a movie during Christmas with my mom called Holiday Inn starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire (so I assume it was pretty popular) from the 40’s, and during the movie they had a good 10-15 minute black face routine with about 20 people halfway through the movie. It was astounding to watch it.

It’s really unreal what was considered normal and ok back in the day and what was allowed to go on. Pretty amazing, and not in a good way at all.
