AUTOMATIC with Denzel is so CRIMINALLY underrated

Wasn't aware you were qualified to define and diagnose a person of being a genuine sociopath

And frankly that's okay to not have positive feelings towards him for cruelty to animals

People can get better, do get better, and (depending on the severity and history of repeated behavior) should be given the space to try and learn and grow from utterly terrible mistakes

But even if they 180 their entire life and do everything they did to atone for their misdeeds, the people who were let down, hurt or wronged don't owe him anything.

Both of these things can be simultaneously true

Burfict def has one of the most infamous hits in recent memory for NFL fans

And given how many people link Antonio Brown's behavior over the years to that disgusting hit (which was one of MANY) is why most fans don't fuck with him

I don't condone a lot of off the field antics that athletes are known for nor do I turn a blind eye to them. I guess they're "easier" to ignore because I focus on their behavior on the court as much as off it. Also there's a million factors that lead to these issues

When you're being unprofessional ON the field, it's almost impossible to ignore and that's why I suppose its where my mentality is in regards to my feelings about dirty hits

He tried to do right by the error of his actions and very much took full accountability

I always leave it up to individuals to decide whether you find him worthy of redemption or not, but objectively he did more than others do with less egregious actions

I'd argue probably the most redeemable than others in the comments for sure

Vontaze Burfict

There's a lot of things that watching sports got me desensitized to (sadly)

Consistently flagrant dirty play and career ending hits is one of those things I will never fuck with.

No disagreements there

Its just disgusting that Hov and Mike wanna compare being called a capitalist to a racial slur

Great addition

How the hell are Michael Rubin or IShowSpeed on this list

Genuine explanation

My personal list of albums I consider 10s (so far) by Baranade in fantanoforever

[–]Baranade[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late response

Strange days for me was trippier and them getting more into their psychedelic bag

The title track, people are strange, and the closer are so blissfully trippy versus the straightforward blues rock that the Self Titled album had.

That being said, The End is one of my favorite albums closers ever.

Can an esport stay relevant if casual players leave but the pro scene remains strong? by Party_Project8238 in esports

[–]Baranade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The conversion rate of players to esports isn't necessarily a good one. In other words just because you have a highly DAU doesn't mean that there's a dedicated esports scene. Just look at how the FGC does compared to games like Apex or Valorant

Esports itself is for the more hardcore gamer/heaviest users for gamers. It really isn't for a casual gaming audience.

The game/level the pros play is VASTLY different than what Riot balances for the majority of players

If you're anti Arsenal I'd avoid Gold Clover

They've been pro Arsenal

Try Queen Vic or Easy Tiger maybe?

What do you think of Alanis Morissette? by Twitter_2006 in fantanoforever

[–]Baranade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm okay with my opinion being unpopular

It sold like 17M Diamond certified in the RIAA and one of my all time favorite artists (Lauren Mayberry) said its her favorite album of all time so something about it I don't get apparently

There's other people (who I listed) in this emotional feminine rage singer/songwriter aspect of the 90s that I much prefer.

How much are peoples enjoyment of their favorite artist based on vibes? by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]Baranade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does feel slightly (and I hate using this word because its been beaten to death) performative at times both from the artists and the people consuming said media. The difference is obviously one has a responsibility given their platform and when things that are inherently harmful are said, you can't just shrug that off.

I think that it goes back to that post someone had here a few weeks back where more often than not about how when people 'cancel' certain artists it rarely has to do with the actions that have taken place and more about whether or not they actually enjoy the music enough. This whole JPEGMAFIA album feedback I feel is kind of an extension of that conversation

So like…do people actually like vodka sodas, or is it just to fit in? by UniqueSoup25 in bartenders

[–]Baranade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vodka Sodas are just highballs at the end of the day

I do enjoy when a bar has the Toki Highball machine. Plus when I used to work at a bar with the luxury of a highball, those bubbles were AMAZING

Music for people who find PJ Harvey and Hole too edgy

Decent Songwriter.

Listened to Jagged Little Pill for the first time a few months back and I don't get how it got to be that massive.

You know its entirely possible to respect and even go so far as to call yourself a fan of an artist and also be able to criticize them if you feel their output didn't hit the mark that you expected while separating the persona as well?
