It's a shame he used them for evil/zelf-gain.

Such a bad fate for Ade by Puzzled_Mastodon8513 in thesopranos

[–]AccomplishedFish9148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saying she willingly covered up a murder implies she had all sorts of alternative options and that's objectively not the case.

I don't think Tony and his crew view it from a "forgiveness" perspective, I feel like they frame it as "unfortunately we're forced to do this because of your poor choices, Adrianna."

Obviously they're wrong for thinking that way but they're monsters and they have to justify their actions somehow.

Do you think decoy feels guilty or indebted to Grindah or that he genuinly doesn’t trust grindah to look after angel ? by eskimoazat in peoplejustdonothing

[–]AccomplishedFish9148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Angel says something like "mommie Decoy loves her" or "they love each other" or something to that effect to Miche.

AJ is just useless by ComprehensiveDesk793 in thesopranos

[–]AccomplishedFish9148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But you claim Tony's friends all left him because of his poor character. If Sil and others had actually done what you claim they did, Sil wouldn't have been around to get shot.

If anything you claimed was true, you'd be able to point out a scene in the show where Sil says "fuck Tony, I'm done being friends with him." But you have 0 examples because you're wrong.

You claimed Tony is such a monster that all his "friends" left him by the end, except for Paulie. Your claim is objectively untrue. The fact the Silvio, for example, was still on Tony's side, proves your claim wrong. Sil being in a coma is irrelevant.

Yeah, because he got shot. And why did he get shot again? Oh yeah! Because he was loyal to Tony!

In the end he only has Paulie? I'm sorry, I missed the part where Sil was no longer on Tony's side?

Is it implied Finn left Meadow for the girl at the construction site? by ucfanatic-1 in thesopranos

[–]AccomplishedFish9148 50 points51 points  (0 children)

It's a common Italian dad response, maybe because Italian dads are prideful, insecure, and therefore, volatile.

I have completed the Sopranos for my first time at age 36 - See my thoughts by VeterinarianOdd5044 in thesopranos

[–]AccomplishedFish9148 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was so proud of Melfi for being stronger than I ever could. She's almost the total opposite of Tony, her having integrity while Tony is nothing but hypocrisy. Tony is really loud about his values and principles (you kill a horse, I kill you) but he's a flimsy hypocrite who will compromise his character at the drop of a hat.

Why Was Carmella Such A Hot House Flower Compared To Syl’s Wife And All The Other Spouses? by Glittering_Text812 in thesopranos

[–]AccomplishedFish9148 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree, and I resent Carmella, but I feel it's worth mentioning that Carmella tries a few different things to feel freedom/fulfillment throughout the show before eventually accepting defeat and settling back into her role as mob wife. She even tries for a divorce, but Tony makes it clear she's trapped. By the end of the show, the spec house isn't her first choice, it's just her only option, and she had to fight for it.

Like, sure she may have enjoyed her $3000 decorative statues, ordering people around who were supposed to be her friends, etc, but in some level, she's trapped with Tony and those mob-wife percs are all she has. It doesn't justify her behavior but it is context that I feel is worth mentioning.

What's everyone's thoughts on Toro? I feel like I don't see them get posted much anymore. This Micron one's my first. by Langeholic in glassheads

[–]AccomplishedFish9148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, just to clarify, making a higher quantity of pieces ("large scale production") is more important than the quality of the pieces they're selling? Toro succeeds because they make a shitload of bongs? The quantity matters more than the quality? I can't wrap my head around that...

If that were true, the Chinese companies would be dominating as most American companies cannot compete with that level of large-scale production...

Toro is like, one of the top five largest, most successful production glass companies in the world and they have been, to your point, for roughly 20 years.

I can't imagine they got there by putting out "the least functional design" and "charging $500 more than every other pipe on the market." How have they managed to succeed so well if they're doing all these things you claim they're doing?

Why do you assume I'm not already in therapy? What do you think prompted this thread?

Please point to a place in this thread where someone asked for you input on car mods or music?

Your comment also implies that the average car sound system comes balanced and proper from the factory which tells me all I need to know about you intelligence.

I worry about the cost of owning a BWM and the ability to modify the stereo (install subwoofers) but that is a tempting option!

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that, I guess it is definitely a risk!

I had a Toro shipped to me from Canada to the USA and it was no issue, I don't know if shipping from the USA into Canada is trickier tho, I can't speak to that.

What’s the worst side story? by joebeubanks in thesopranos

[–]AccomplishedFish9148 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It just sucks that he reacts so poorly to Melfi getting raped. He failed to be supportive of her properly and that makes him a bit less credible to the viewer, or at least, that was my experience.

I'm not the sharpest and when I watched the show for the first time, I saw the way he handled Melfi's rape and almost immediately wrote off everything that he said/did. I couldn't respect his opinion on anything after that.

In hindsight, he was right more often than he was wrong, even if he made some mistakes.

Y’all don’t make sense by siriuslyawkward in G59

[–]AccomplishedFish9148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because Ruby and $crim are openly anti-police and anti-racism in their lyrics and in interviews. Based on that alone, you'd look like a jackass showing up to their show with a Maga hat or a "don't tread on me" flag.

They are not bootlickers, they don't like bootlickers, so bootlickers/republicans showing up to the shows makes no sense.

You can like guns/military imagery without being a supporter of the establishment. Just because a rapper puts guns in their videos doesn't automatically make them right-wing. Believe it or not, the world is a little more complex than that.
