1. Didn't know you worked in a pizza parlor. That brings back memories but I'll spare you the trip.
2. I dig it. The only real difference btwn your musical taste & mine is you seem to lean toward metal, whereas I'm a bit closer to the blues. I used to be a metalhead in high school & for a few years after... Discovered blues when I was 19 & it was like nothing I'd heard anywhere up to that point. The music got me through a very rough time in my life. I've been grateful to those singers & guitarists (mostly black men) ever since & was a _huge_ fan for the next three years after that. You wouldn't believe my CD collection!
3. Having said all that, I'm still a fan of AC/DC to this day....& of Motley Crue when I'm feeling nostalgic.
4. Twitter (Twatter) was the digital equivalent of an open sewer with a dead cow obstructing the main drainage culvert, & _that_ was before Elon Musk bought the platform. Have heard it's gotten worse since then.
@ShadenLines yeah i work at a friend of mine's pizza parlor during the weekends and holydays, friday, saturday and sunday, and i use newgrounds during the freetime like i'm doing now. I got a little curious how was your pizza parlor times, you can tell a bit if you want
Yeah i have been into metal since the age of 14, i'm 25 now and metal music is one of the things i like the most in life hehe, i started with a band called Ghost, loved that band like i was teenage girl liking one direction or some shit, they got into more heavier and extreme metal, and then got into the classic stuff like black sabbath, iron maiden, etc, i like motley crue too, love their "merry go round" song, dead infection has a "merry go round" song too. I love the fast and extreme sound, it's so relaxing, and love to put the normal rock and metal songs as a background, listening to Scorpions - Drifting Sun, right now

That Flower Travellin' Band tune is great. I can't understand the singer so far but might figure it out later... From the name, I was expecting something more like the Grateful Dead. (No shade to the Dead--psychedelic rock is great when I'm in the mood for it) The Japanese have done some unique takes on western music (& on western culture generally), I'll give 'em that.
I mostly grew up in San Francisco, CA, a few blocks from the cold-as-a-whore's-heart beach & some more blocks from the zoo. In those days there was a pizza parlor on the other side of the main road, across from & slightly north of the main entrance...Pasquale's Pizzeria. A few memories of my early childhood feature that place. Last time I checked it was still there, which is amazing. (Small businesses have it rough in California)
@ShadenLines point to my theory of english is not a very good language to understand when it comes to talking it. In brazilian portuguese we can understand almost everything other people is saying when they're talking, rarely happens to me in a brazilian song to "wtf this guy is saying there?" and it happens to native english speakers kinda often.
I love the Rosemary song of Grateful Dead. Flower Travelling Band i like to say they're the japanese (early) black sabbath. And honestly i didn't listen too much of japanese rock/metal music, asians are on my list of "not so good on doing rock and metal music" along with brazilians, mexicans, russians, indians, and many others. Overall i think europeans are the best on doing rock and metal music, even americans ain't that good on it (in my opinion). I think God give different talents to different nations, like americans are natural entreperneurs, they're the best on advertising, propaganda, business, etc, russians are natural warriors, they have the best guns and have such a fierce people, brazilians are the best on being funny, the funniest people, etc
I can't say anything about Russian guns but, clearly, you haven't tried out our hardware. America made modern firearms what they are, man! Colt, Winchester-USRAC, Remington...hell, there are three smaller companies right now that make the best AR-15s on the planet. The only people I know of who can for sure go head-to-head with American gunmakers are the Teutonic nations, though the Turks are good at manufacturing quality reproductions when they want to be. The inventor of the Glock pistol is an Austrian, after all.
As for the best warriors, I think that's a toss-up...depends on what you consider "best". Africans can be mean as hell but they're usually not that well organized. The Russians are tough & as willing to fight as anybody, but they have a bad habit of outrunning their supply train. Basically, Russians suck at logistics. Japan has a highly developed warrior tradition, as we all know...in the face of Chinese imperial expansion, they're throwing off their post-WW2 pacifism in a hurry.
How about Middle Easterners? The Turks used to be a warrior people--how else do you think they carved out the Ottoman empire?--& may still be, given a suitably dire threat to their country. Arabs are as fierce as they come but today their militaries suck, for a few reasons. Most of their ferocity is expressed through Islamic terrorist orgs, not via their national armies. We _used_ to produce warriors in quantity in the US...now, not so much. We will see what the future brings.
@ShadenLines like i said, you americans are the best in propaganda, austria (glock, steyr aug, and many others) is not too far from russia and ukraine (by which was a piece of russian), glocks, steyr those are the future of weapons. Sure america has a lot of credit, colt with the revolver, winchester with the winchester (by which we call here in brazil "carbine"), m1 garand, thompson, those were all fine guns. But russian is a little different, they're natural warriors, americans are a little bit more polite, they deal with a things in a better way in my opinion, russians are a little bit too fierce indeed, soviet union ended due to them being too stubborn.
I also don't see middle easterners as agressive people like many do with the terrorists stereotypes and ting, i see those terrorists like hamas and such as a criminal faction (like pcc and cv we see here in brazil) but with steroids, it's obivous there are rich people behind those guys, they have many expensive guns such as rocket launchers, bombs, fine assault rifles and machine guns, it's just ridiculous to think those people just have the money to buy all that stuff by themselves
Well obviously. Iran is behind the most notorious outfits; Qatar supports a few as well. It's easy when you have so damn much oil, with such reliable customer nations in the West, that your government is swimming in cash. Look at the Saudi royal family; those people have more money than almost anybody! The difference is Mohammed bin Salman is trying to modernize the country & so they don't support terrorists anymore. Even then, he can't push against the Salafist establishment _too_ much. It's a balancing act on his part.
@ShadenLines and don't forget about guys like george soros
Oh don't worry, I haven't. George himself has retired, actually...his son runs the Soros financial empire now. Pretty sure their "Foundation for an Open Society" will keep fomenting Western decline.
