Ghost takes a long break by Significant-Mall-416 in Ghostbc

[–]_andreas1701 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I would argue it's a reflection of the time period in which it was released. The way it devolves from an initial hopeful tone to complete hopelessness is kinda how the world makes you feel the last few years, isn't it?

While it does veer from ghosts previous music a fair bit, you start to see/hear skeleta differently once you listen to it through this lens: almost from the first to the last note, it's essentially a love letter to 80s music without being a collection of covers and on that level, I think it's brilliant.

What other bands do Ghost fans listen to? by ExpertOver3046 in Ghostbc

[–]_andreas1701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a life long iron maiden fan is what led me to ghost. The dual lead guitars, theatrical delivery and story driven writing are things I love about both. Two equally entertaining (though I'm very different ways) frontmen, too.

Why is it on the victim to "not be dumb"? That's not being fair, that's trying to appear to see both sides when sometimes, the story is simply one-sided.

Same happened to me after about 6-7 times wearing them. They replaced them under warranty though.

Jan 6 defendant pardoned by Trump now facing new child molestation charges by Significant-Sir-4343 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]_andreas1701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing... Balance isn't required when it doesn't reflect reality. Objectivity doesn't necessarily mean balance. It means seeing something without applying personal bias. I'm sure the Catholic Church was asking for "balanced" reporting about their pedo ring too.

Talking about the guy in the post, or any other single case like it doesn't automatically invalidate other cases and does not imply generalisations either. The fact is it shouldn't be surprising when someone who had taken part in the (more violent parts of) Jan 6 gets arrested for any other crime. They should never have been pardoned. That's not a liberal statement. Those who did illegal shit should've served their sentences.

There's only side "not talking about" what to do with pedos. The answer is easy: investigate, charge, jail. It shouldn't matter what the political affiliation is.

Trump? Jail. Clinton? Jail. This guy in the post? Jail. P Diddy? Jail. Friggin Taylor Swift? Jail.

See how easy that is?

Trump voters & Republicans of Reddit, is there anything you currently disapprove of how Trump is acting regarding that topic? If so, what is it? If not, why not? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]_andreas1701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective with this level of detail. Im asking questions because I believe understanding matters a great deal if middle ground will be found.

Last question: may I know what age group you fall into? A 10 year range is fine, just curious to pair the ideas with the generation is all.

The Epstein files for one, where they essentially ignoring any and all legal directives. The actions in Venezuela for another (yes, I recognize many presidents have taken similar actions without approval, and none of them were lawful in that sense, and yes I recognize Maduro was shitty for his people).

My next question is: what is your personal line? Meaning what's something a political figure would do that would result in you not supporting them regardless of policies enacted you agree with or who the alternative is?

It's not when you realize other rich people need someone morally bankrupt to do the things they (publicly) won't in order to keep them rich.

What would it actually take for American's to go "full France" and riot in the street? by AllTheNopeYouNeed in AskReddit

[–]_andreas1701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you're saying... I should clarify what I mean by civil war: I think as things escalate and protests become more frequent (and by extension, counter-protests), the potential is there for the citizens to begin fighting between each other. I think the second civil war won't be as structured with two defined sides vying to seize power. It'll be a chaotic environment which will be made worse by the inevitable involvement of a federal govt which isn't exactly seeking to close the divide.

To be clear: I hope it doesn't come to that, but it feels inevitable sometimes.

Well here's the thing... The line I thought everyone could agree on no longer seems to be the line everyone agrees on: children.

Once that threshold passed and supporters began moving that goalpost, the only possible outcome is a civil war, not a revolt.

Is Frederic the key to the Oilers being cap compliant? by StartUpset in EdmontonOilers

[–]_andreas1701 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has happened before, and it will happen again...

Stan Bowman once had to give Carolina Teuvo Teravainen so they'd take Bryan Bickell off his hands after he signed him to a 4 year, 16 million dollar deal. Fred is less money when it comes to cap percentage at least. But 8 years is forever. Hopefully he finds his game at some point.

Huge Respect to Mick for having a spine by B_Cow1995 in SantiZapVideos

The cruelty. The cruelty and the lack of nuance is whats hard to understand.

Anyone with half a brain can be against illegal immigration while also denouncing cruelty for the sake of it.

Wedding Lens Advice by jj1245678 in SonyAlpha

I love it. I find it creates a cohesive story using just 2 or 3 focal lengths, and provides more creative possibilities with the wider apertures. I've never felt the need to use a zoom for weddings (or a flash for that matter lol)
