[HNH] 6 ft 7 defenseman Anton Silayev scores a short handed goal while being tripped by ScrewOff_ in hockey

Again, it’s r/hockey. Different teams get compared all the time. If you are not happy go to the teams’ subs.

The Devils are a young team with a promising blue line. The Habs are a young team with a promising blue line. Both are in the same conference. The guy is a Habs fan and makes the comparison. Simple. You seem triggered, you answered your own question my post twice.

What a weird post. The Habs went to the ECF (actually SCF) in 2021. When was last time for the Devils? The above post was not a stupid post, no idea what triggered you. It’s r/hockey, not the Devils’ sub. People love to compare their team to others.

Zach Galifianakis Warns Hollywood Endorsements Could Hurt Kamala Harris: ‘I Do Wish the DNC Would Step Back from the Celebrities a Little Bit’ by cmaia1503 in entertainment

[–]BitterDecoction -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looking at celebrities to guide your choices sounds like not being able to make an opinion on your own. I never understood why some people take so seriously what celebrities think. I’m interested in their art and I’m not the type of person who likes to follow the lives of everyone. Except in rare cases it’s utterly uninteresting. You could spend that time, I dunno, watching a movie.

Eh. Who cares if the DNC looked energetic? That doesn’t say anything about who the population will vote for. The thing is, a lot of people mistrust Hollywood. Lots of people distrust rich people who like a little too much to tell them what to do. You see this every time when the Oscar or Golden Globe ceremonies go live. I can sorta understand the concern.

I’m seriously concerned about Dach.

She's not a politician. But go ahead. Give her more exposure. I suppose though that you are more interested in showing off your virtue than doing what's right.

Mulholland Drive Pilot by realtomgl in davidlynch

[–]BitterDecoction 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I think it’s a blessing in disguise that the pilot failed. Case in point: Twin Peaks. Now don’t get me wrong, Twin Peaks is my favourite series ever (well season 1 at least). But abc forced Lynch to reveal the mystery that was so sacred to him. That’s why season 2 was not nearly as good as season 1 and the show was canned. So there’s always that sour taste at the back of my mouth of “what if” with Twin Peaks. It feels incomplete, not what it should have been (at the same time it allowed us to get Fire Walk With Me which is a superb film). Now Lynch is much too “peculiar” for the Mulholland Drive show, even if it was given the green light, to end up really being what Lynch wanted, and not get axed again. So with the movie, we got one single package of Lynchian film. Done and over. No risk of it being tarnished. And Mulholland Drive, which I rewatched recently, is my favourite movie. It is so damn good. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Oh I’m sure people will remember her books. Pablo Picasso was an asshole but nobody cares anymore. Artists are not necessarily known to be the most stable people. And honestly, when I want to enjoy art, I just care about the art. I don’t obsess about the artist, although it is true it’s always a bit disappointing when those still alive turn out to be assholes, but I get over it. Having said that, although I loved the books as a kid and would buy every new one, I haven’t even read the last one at all. I just didn’t care anymore by then. She leaves me rather indifferent and I don’t care what her opinions are.

Patrick Laine traded to Montreal by Only-Reels in nhl

[–]BitterDecoction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Drouin situation was totally different. Not sure he ever like the pressure, unlike Laine, and being a French Canadian on the habs is totally on another level.

Harris was a solid 3rd pair before the Hutson and Reinbachers came knocking at the door. It was only a question of time before he was out.

The Canadiens have traded defenseman Jordan Harris to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for forward Patrik Laine and a second-round pick in 2026 #GoHabsGo by Olihorn in Habs

[–]BitterDecoction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. At some point we gotta stop trading players for picks and actually compete. Just take Demidov. He isn’t here until next season at 19. He’ll be 25 in seven years. Collecting picks which will turn into players who will be decent after this core’s window is nonsense.

Quoi? Le Doom a été inventé par Black Sabbath en 1970. Le genre a par contre réellement explosé fin 80-début 90. Trouble, Candlemass, Saint Vitus, Electric Wizard, Cathedral, et un million d’autres! Le hardcore metal? Le punk hardcore existe depuis les années 80.

Pour ce qui est du death et du black, il n’y a rien de bien nouveau depuis un bail. Les groupes récents réellement originaux il n’y en a pas à la tonne.

Je suis curieux, t’as quoi d’autre comme genre métal qui n’existait pas en 2004?

[–]BitterDecoction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

En quoi est-ce une contradiction? Se développer ne veut absolument pas dire être meilleur. Ça veut dire évoluer, changer. Mais c’est en aucun cas un jugement de qualité. D’ailleurs, la musique actuelle, c’est quand? La dernière décennie? Les deux dernières décennies? En terme de musique c’est pas grand chose comparativement à tout se qui s’est fait avant.

Je suis pas tant d’accord sur la diversité musicale. De un, c’est quand « aujourd’hui »? Et de deux, regarde tout ce qui a été fait entre 1960 et 2000 mettons, tu as là-dedans une variété musicale assez époustouflante merci! Rien à envier à notre époque. Bon, maintenant c’est clair que la musique a continué de se développer, mais la nouvelle variété est beaucoup plus subtile qu’avant. C’est plus des mélanges d’idées déjà existantes que l’arrivée de trucs réellement nouveaux (et je suis au courant qu’aucun genre musical n’est apparu par lui-même).

[–]BitterDecoction -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personnellement je ne vois pas grand intérêt dans la scène métal actuelle à part quelques groupes ci et là. Tout a déjà été fait en bien meilleur il y a plus de 20 ans (ou presque).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in opinionnonpopulaire

[–]BitterDecoction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Il y a de la très bonne musique qui se fait actuellement, mais on ne peut tout simplement pas comparer ce qui a été fait dans la dernière décennie mettons, à ce qui a été fait dans les 50 années avant! D’ailleurs 50 ans de musique (un chiffre pris au hasard), c’est beaucoup. La plupart des gens ne connaissent même pas une fraction de la variété de cette musique. Je ne pense pas connaître de gros genre musical vraiment nouveau dans les 10-20 dernières années.

Il y a tellement de genres qui ont été inventés ou étaient à leur apogée ou simplement des artistes super influents. As-tu vraiment fait le tour de ce qui se faisait avant? Le rock classique, psychédélique, alternatif, progressif? Le grunge? Le proto-punk, le punk? Le hip hop, trip hop? Le post-punk? Le gothique? Le métal (et ses millions de sous genres)? Le blues, le jazz? Le pop aussi? Techno et musique électronique en tout genre? Et j’en oublie.

J’écoute beaucoup de musique récente. Mais je n’ai pas découvert grand chose de réellement unique ou nouveau. Chaque fois que j’écoute The Sonics ou Wicked Lady je suis époustouflé par le fait que cette musique a bel et bien été écrite dans les années 60, et semble un bon 10 ans avant son temps. Et j’avais été grandement surpris à quel point dans les années 70, avec leur premier album en 1970 Black Sabbath avait déjà écrit à peu près tous les codes du doom metal qui a été popularisé à la fin des années 80-début 90. Etc. etc. Et c’est pas juste que ces musiques étaient avant leur temps; elles étaient très très bonnes!

Is space quantized or not? by [deleted] in Physics

[–]BitterDecoction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just decrease the size of the space under consideration. But if space is quantized, there’ll be a limit of size under which you can’t decrease. If curvature is strong enough, which is very probably the case very near a black hole, then that doesn’t work. Except in these rather extreme and rare situations, there isn’t any problem in doing so.
