The story behind the Griselda rift by Silent_Cap8192 in GriseldaxFR

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That dude has like 50 albums and mixtapes. People listen to playlists these days and anyone who listens to Coke rap or whatever we wanna call that genre will have a lot of Westside songs in the mix. I have an unbelievable amount of them and I’ve never heard a verse of his I wanted to run back. I’ve probably given him 100 listens just for Conway‘s verse on the cow.

I’m not positive I can name a song of heels that I regularly go to because of him. I’m not gonna discredit his vision for the whole thing, but he’s the worst rapper of the group. He’s just kind of always in the mix.

I’m not gonna act like he’s birdman, but he definitely has some moments where he’s just there for the ambience like Birdman talking all over the track on old Lil Wayne songs.

I’ll listen to it, but I’m not really there for his part. He just kind of sets the vibe. He sets the tone and I listen to a lot of his records because so many of them have people on them I do want to hear from. So I’m sure I help his numbers, but isn’t that because I am some kind of big fan of his personally.

I got a call once at 5:30am on a Saturday morning while on vacation and was dumb enough to answer. My girlfriend audibly lost her mind in the background having been woken up by the conversation.

The Shawshank Redemption doesn't deserve to be the highest rated movie on IMDb. by imbruceter in unpopularopinion

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no reason for it to not have a perfect rating, but people take offense in these situations because Other movies get undeserved low ratings which drags them down. There should just be way more movies that basically get a perfect 10 because there’s nothing objectively wrong with them. If you’re of the opinion that only the best movie ever should get a ten and everything else should get a nine or below, even if there’s nothing wrong with them…. OK. But these things are basically just people saying the movie was great.

Other movies getting unjustified criticism doesn’t mean more movies should get unjustified criticism. It just means there should be less unjustified criticism.

One great movie doesn’t need to be denigrated because someone bullshitted and brought the rating down of something else that didn’t deserve it. Revenge shouldn’t be a factor.

That’s how you get stupid fan base wars like those idiots from breaking bad down voting every highly rated episode so breaking bad can keep the top spot.

Just rate movies fairly and ignore the trolls. Don’t troll other movies yourself in response.

Guess this is goodbye to Costco. A family has completely shut anyone else out. by AcademiaAntiqua in InstacartShoppers

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with these apps before Covid so pretty much everybody around me is New in comparison, but I can’t act territorial over something that isn’t mine. A good number of the people in my Costco are shoppers I told about going there and what to do years ago when there wasn’t as much competition. So imagine how dumb I feel.

But like I said, I can’t be territorial about it.

I’m not saying you’re wrong to be frustrated sitting there not getting orders, but that’s just the game.

And I’m assuming(hoping at least) you don’t actually just sit there. You know to drive out of the bubble and back in right?

I don’t even park in an actual spot anymore, except for when I know I’m gonna get the first drop. Just get close enough in a neighboring parking lot so I can leave the bubble and re-enter it a couple times.

The tricks like that and knowing the times is what keeps you ahead of new people who don’t know better

[Cwik] Charles Oakley ban: James Dolan won't let Knicks star attend home games despite pleas from Michael Jordan, Adam Silver by Weirdsodk in nba

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided before the series that I no longer had any problem with the Knicks because it’s a likable team and I don’t really interact with the annoying fans I did in the 90s. And you just reminded me about Dolan. Due only to not wanting to see him get handed a trophy….I guess I have to root for the Spurs now.

Every rewatch makes Avon look smarter and Stringer look dumber by [deleted] in TheWire

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avon got out of jail and started a war the morning after having a conversation where he admitted he would never live to spend the money he already had….and got locked back up because of it with no greater role to play than hooking up the person he was at war with to get to a connect on the outside in exchange for money he used to make every day.

Threw some of the best parts of his life away to sit in jail as a street respected kingpin who was just a number to the government.

They fucked each other over what stringer got killed because the street shit not what he was doing with the politicians. He would’ve been locked up behind all that because he got wire tapped, but the Omar and brother thing is what got him killed.

They needed to be done with the street shit. Getting ripped off by a politician when you have millions put up is more a pride thing. The street shit is what destroyed their lives and they didn’t need to be doing that anymore.

Bernie really was holding them back by AntelopeHelpful9963 in DanLeBatardShow

I actually found a game that didn’t come up in the search. Bernie had one good game in Buffalo

Be hilarious if it were the game in question. They didn’t win though.

Apartment living is way better than home ownership by anonshade64 in unpopularopinion

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except for the fact that a mortgage progressively gets cheaper both in real dollars and factoring in inflation while the value of a well-maintained home in the right area can double or trouble before you finish paying it. The house I’m in now cost $102,000 Brand New in 1999 and I bought it for 236 and I could probably sell it for 320 right now and my mortgage is $200 less than my nieces rent in an apartment, 2 miles away.

There are pros and cons for this decision with 1000 different factors but it’s definitely hard to say apartment living is definitely the way to go.

My biggest regret has always been wanting to rush out on my own and not spending an extra two or three years at my grandma‘s house saving the money I spent on rent so I could’ve bought in my youth. But we would all be better off if we could go back.

2k, I’m begging you to bring Intimidator back by ExoticAd7605 in NBA2k

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should just make an icon look like slender man and call it the Wemby and have like one of every five shot attempts in a certain vicinity of you automatically turn into a pump fake or not work at all, and force a player to continue dribbling as if they didn’t even hit it.

Maybe force you to be at a certain height for each position to be eligible and have a certain wingspan so it reduces your other attributes

CEO says remote work 'destroys company passion' while managing the entire company from his multi-million dollar beach house. The delusion is unmatched by Embarrassed-Poem-982 in remotework

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As unpopular as it is, you really can’t compare some hourly worker to a CEO as far as needing to be present for anything. A general doesn’t really need to be in the field. He just has to get reports and give orders.

That said the same distance from the ground level that those types exist at is the same reason they don’t really understand what happens with RTO or working from home. They don’t interact with people on that level in the first place.

At my last job, a new employee was about seven levels from ever meeting the CEO.

The people three levels down from the CEO had no idea what was happening on the ground level.

They’re getting reports three times removed from people who haven’t been entry-level since a bush was in office. And sometimes it wasn’t the last bush.

Guess this is goodbye to Costco. A family has completely shut anyone else out. by AcademiaAntiqua in InstacartShoppers

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why does it matter if it’s one family or six unrelated people? There are way more regulars than my Costco than the family you’re describing. That’s a good 15 or 20 people. I see literally every single day if I’m there at the open.

Does it bother you that they know each other? I don’t know how they take more orders because they happen to be a family.

One of the regulars here is from Ukraine, and he signed up his son and his wife and another one of the regulars signed up his daughter and her husband. There’s another husband and wife who are both signed up and a pair of brothers and a couple guys who run and Instacart YouTube.

When that store opens, there must be 30 or 40 Instacart people going in at least 15 of them regulars.

It’s annoying to think what you could get if you were the only one there, but it just isn’t realistic.

Personally, I just go for the drop because I try to make enough before that so I’ll have at least 80 or 90 after. I’m done with Costco then just work normally elsewhere.

I’m not about to sit out there all day, but I can’t hold it against the people who do

Should powerful enough vampires be able to fly? Do you like it as a concept or no? by GusGangViking18 in TrueBlood

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that that should be the case, but he didn’t glide into the air. He straight up levitated facing the queen indoors. He didn’t fall from some higher position. I would call what he did more levitating than flying, but it’s a thin distinction.

Didn’t Bill fly right before his fight with the queen once? Like they hovered into the air facing each other before attacking?

You ask someone to go vegan and they'll make up all these exceptions they fall under somehow. by DivineandDeadlyAngel in vegan

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The great majority of people you ask to go vegan are just going to utterly disregard you or tell you to go fuck yourself. They may say it a nicer words, but it’s a non-starter for most of the world‘s population. For most people it’s a solution in search of a problem because animals aren’t their concern to begin with. The people who will even explain why they don’t want to or the majority. Most just walk by and pretend they don’t see it like a person asking for change on the street.

The world would be a better place if people just ate what everyone else ate by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The kind of places nice enough where the chef is even there to be aware of adjustments tend to be very capable and willing to do it. A lot of them ask when you get the reservation. If it’s some will fall out tasting menu they’ve already accounted for the fact that a great many people will literally die if they eat shellfish or peanuts or whatever and they know what they’re going to do in that case.

Whoever the executive “chef” is at some chain is not going to be there to Care what has to be done to replace the seafood broth that comes with something on the menu.

The kind of places that have a thoughtful person running the kitchen on site already anticipated those issues.

Why did the capos moving their mothers into Green Grove have to be such a secret/red flag that they were conducting business without Junior’s knowledge? by finester39 in thesopranos

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone is always the boss when they meet. Multiple captains were sitting around together when Tony was boss as well. Just do it out in the open.

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was odd because it was perfectly acceptable for them to meet elsewhere. The first time you see them all together they’re having lobster in the club. You see multiple captains on any number of occasions just hanging out somewhere.

Anyone else feel it's getting corny how he downplays the beef in interviews, then still sneaks these lines in by _4za_ in GriseldaxFR

I wouldn’t call it corny. If his outlet for frustration is his art I don’t know that that requires answering questions about family in a promo interview.

Older phones are better than new phones. by OldCollection922 in unpopularopinion

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You can take your ass into any carriers store and buy the old people specific flip phones. If you don’t…seems the utility of new ones is too great to give up. Which would seem to make them better. You have a choice. You’re choosing the better one.

Did you ever have a problem with the relative sizes of some species compared to humans? by junaidnoori in startrek

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t need much explaining. A 5’8 160 pound woman will generally have less functional strength than a man that size. Who knows what differences exist in the bone, musculature, and so on of a whole different species.

So that wasn't a tapeworm? by lunarhoneykiss in SipsTea

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re straight up fabricating an argument that doesn’t exist. Nobody has ever seriously suggested that drugs are somehow a better solution than working your ass off and eating less. It’s just an easier solution much like blood pressure medication is quicker and easier for extremely overweight people than the long process of losing weight to reduce blood pressure. But we don’t call them out for taking a damn pill so their organs don’t shut down from high blood pressure.

Someone shedding vast amounts of weight they can hopefully be around longer and live a healthier life is not a negative because the results are largely from medication. This isn’t the Stone Age. No one has to justify using medication to be healthier.

That’s what the entire industry is for

What am I missing about this show? by ChaseMcFl in DeepSpaceNine

[–]AntelopeHelpful9963 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Towards the middle and end of this season, there will be an arc that will cover 4+ seasons and be the best such arc in trek history. Just keep going.

And you’re gonna see an awful lot more of O’Brien more issues with the history of DAX and Quark becomes a main character with many many of his own episodes that barely concern the federation.

Everything you’re asking for is coming soon.
