Really, I should employ someone, I almost had a panic attack last month with the pressure I'm under, but I can't offer stability so I keep it to my self

I had the same feelings on Jedi Mind Tricks, but decided to keep listening based on this justification.

1. my morals will never perfectly align with any band. It's obvious when the lyrics are awful & hate filled, but it's impossible to know what every band was thinking when creating any music.
2. I don't believe in heroes. I respect a good piece of music as is. It's creators should not get a pass in any way because of that.
3. music or a message. Creative processes differ, some artists use their music as a vehicle to promote their beliefs, while others focus on making a sound first. It's not always easy to know which came first.

It's all subjective to me, some albums get deleted, others stay on probation, pending annual review

If you factor in the usual trilogy structure, that's only nine acts at an hour+ each

I feel like compound interest would be important here

I find chicken liver mild enough not to bother, but stronger tasting meats (lamb liver) will taste less bitter/metallic after an hour in a light salt+milk bath

I wear a jacket that is now structurally reliant on the random patches I have sewn on over the years... and it still looks like shit... but it has a pocket that once held a jug of wine while I saw Prodigy in Paris, and no new jacket can replace that

Also consider the Yes Ladder - in sales, getting someone to say yes to something small makes them more likely to agree to other things.

It also applies to other contexts. If a police suspect refuses to talk, they ask innocuous questions because once someone starts talking, it's hard to stop.

Admitting incorrectness will make you more likely to concede other points too

"NO! I will destroy you, and wipe your seed from this earth unless you agree that Batman Begins had some pacing issues at the end of act 1!

Where do you think Gorilla Glue comes from?

I remember watching this in school... as a treat

Largely similar to what you have, but abstracting away the metalware and reframing as human-centric.

If the user is at the center, surrounded by more users, making primary & secondary connections, in an approximate circle shape. You can then show traditional social media owners as wedges of that circle, containing (owning) a fraction of the users & preventing connection to others, vs. Fedi that lets you connect to everyone.
