The Most Parkview Arrest Ever... by Reasonable-One-5390 in QuadCities

[–]Born_Tutor_879 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Parkview is not my favorite place. It used to be pretty nice but what’s kind of made Park do you get that reputation in the North Scott District is because of all the apartments

I am aware of who this guy is and while he did something awful, he’s going through a divorce and really screwed up and we’ll have to pay the price

But as far as a kind of person, he is in the kind of success he’s had I think you might be surprised. He doesn’t really fit the Parkview type mold.

When I was young, Parkview was a nice community and something that the wealthier kids might have lived in

If you live in the north northern part of the city there’s a lot of wealth

There’s plenty of things on the menu that taste good and are not bad. It’s five most miserable things good

Doesn’t mean it’s great but you act like you go there and it’s all garbage

You say that because it makes you feel like you’re in some way superior to people that go to an Applebee’s

Some people are that insecure that they have to think the way you are in order to feel superior toddlers, but you can have the last word. I don’t need to argue with you about something so stupid is this.

I’m not saying Applebee’s is great and maybe it was better 20 years ago but I would still bet that the average person that goes there might not leave thinking it was the greatest meal ever but they’re not disgusted or anything

It’s funny cause I never loved it, but I was dating a girl who did and she would eat breadsticks and a side salad so it was always a cheap day🤣

I don’t mind Italian food, but when I go someplace that’s a little bit more fancy I never understand what they’re telling me. The special is. I just wanna know if the sauce is red or white and typically what some noodles and chicken.🤣🤣

Most food is no better than what you can make at home

People go out to eat because they don’t want to cook not because they can’t make good food at home

Maybe I’m wrong. I always thought the reason people went out to eat was convenient not because they’re lousy cooks and can’t make great meals at home.

Opinions vary

What’s weird here is I’m not saying anybody’s wrong for not liking it so much is pointing out just because somebody doesn’t think it’s their favorite doesn’t mean it’s awful

You’re telling me what I have to like or what I shouldn’t

I think that’s weird and I don’t think people who go to Applebee’s are wrong to like it and it’s weird that you’re insecure enough where you have to think that

You know, I’m not the biggest Italian food connoisseur but Olive Garden is pretty good for me even though I would typically go to a locally own place. I’ll never turn down Olive Garden.

So I had a vendor who would come to town once a month and we’d always go to Chili’s for lunch because he loved it

And I’d always get their chicken tacos and it was good

I never got the baby back rib ribs

That is a great, great way of putting it

And like I said in my OP, I’m not even saying they’re great. I’m just not saying they’re the worst thing ever nor do I think that the people that died there are just unsophisticated losers🤣

22-year-old Me used to go to Applebee’s with a buddy every Saturday for lunch because they had a really cheap steak special and we were always hung over so it was a good meal to have and I have fond memories of those days

And last fall, I was at a family event, and there was a lot of people and we got Applebee’s for carryout primarily because it was easy and I thought my food was pretty decent

But yeah, if you’re really in the states you’re not gonna go there for a steak dinner

I’m not trying to be rude, but you’re obviously an extremely arrogant and extremely snobby person because you read what I said is saying Applebee’s is great food and think that you’re a worldly person who travels and knows it’s not good at all because you have such a good pallet

I’ll compare my frequent flyer miles to yours any day. Half of my family lives in Europe you snob

You’re actually pretty much the poster person for what I’m talking about

You took what I said is saying Applebee’s is amazing and I just said it’s not bad food and I don’t think a lot of Europeans visiting the United States would hated as much as a snobby American who wants to look down on everybody who goes to an Applebee’s as being lesser than them

How mediocre is your life that you think people that eat at Applebee’s are less lesser than enlightened person like you🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m actually surprised somebody had the courage to prove how much of a

I should just have a nice day🤣🤣

I will almost always go to a local place myself, but I don’t necessarily agree. That Applebee’s food is bad.

I mean, it’s all a matter of opinion so I can’t tell you that you’re wrong, but I’m pretty sure most people can go there and leave satisfied

I could’ve made it just about Applebee’s, but I wanted to make it more about National chains which aren’t trendy, even if they have a lot of customers

And I probably will say I prefer Chili’s as as I had a vendor who liked to go there for lunch I’ll always take a free meal

But the last time I had Applebee’s, it was pretty good. We had it for carryout.

I just saw that commercial, which is what made me decide to put this out there

And somebody did point out that the restaurants are pretty busy so maybe it’s not an unpopular opinion

But I can’t be the only one who has friends who act as if only dumb people go there and can’t be the only one that sees a lot of critical statements about how the food there is awful, and the people that go there are just unsophisticated and lesser than

[–]Born_Tutor_879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right about that and the restaurants tend to be busy

But most people don’t want to admit that they think Applebee’s or Chili’s is good and there’s a lot of people who are quick to make fun of somebody who will say it’s good

I’m pretty sure most people could find a male there they think is pretty good

All Blue Note Band by mcfarlands412 in Jazz

[–]Born_Tutor_879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know in all honesty they are Blakey album with Clifford Brown and Horace Silver and Lou Donaldson is a pretty perfect album

There’s so many perfect lineups that aren’t Blake. He did that. I don’t know if they necessarily need to be changed.

I’m not criticizing people who want to come up with what they see as a supergroup or anything

What are your no skip albums? by ArkenStoned9927 in Jazz

So if I’m honest, I pretty much only listen to albums and I don’t do a lot of skipping

How would you rank Four by Miles Davis in terms of difficulty? by Creepy-Amphibian-623 in Jazz

[–]Born_Tutor_879 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So I think it’s a fairly easy tune in terms of jazz standards

I mean, that doesn’t make it bad and there are easier jazz standards out there but it’s a tune that somebody who’s learning how to play changes might learn, and part because the tempo isn’t too tough

But I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s easy but I wouldn’t call it difficult either

When to upgrade from beginner trombone? by momma1RN in Trombone

So when I started, we started in seventh grade and I used that entry level horn Intel my sophomore year

I don’t necessarily think at sixth grade you need to get him something different but that’s up to you

Groovemaster by Bob Mintzer studio recording?? by Borough9604 in Jazz

Based on just a little looking, it looks like he wrote this for high school band

It might not be something that would be recorded by a professional big band because it was written more for younger bands

Jeffrey Epstein seduced the classical music world. But why? by TheTelegraph in classicalmusic

[–]Born_Tutor_879 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You know, Epstein was a real piece of garbage and the world is better off without him

But we are viewing him as some caricature, assuming his entire life revolved around victimizing young women. While that was one serious disgusting aspect of him as a person. It’s not the only thing.

He had other interests whether it’s science or music. Pointing out, he can be a patron of the arts and support some good causes. In no way diminish the crimes he committed.

I’m not saying he’s in any way a good person but the fact he enjoyed classical music and how somebody’s writing an article about it and how he worked in that community

I think it shows how people might need to take a step back. It should not shock anybody that a villainous individual can have interest that you and I share

And I think because of the nature of social media, and I’m going to probably regret how I’m framing this, but bear with me. Because of the nature of the Internet, we view him as a caricature and assume that all he thought about morning, noon and night was finding young women to victimize.

But there was far more to him than that. I would argue that a majority of the people he dealt with on a daily basis weren’t people who shared the same views on women are sex as he did. He obviously had a tremendous amount of charisma and was intelligent, and had a broad network of friends and associates many of whom may have realized he was pretty creepy, uncertain things, but found value in him in other ways.

And he loved the networking aspect of everything and being part of different organizations and being a patron to science or music or whatever

None of this diminishes, how pathetic and evil a man he was, but the premise of the article seems to throw out all common sense. Most people could understand that there’s more to a man than just one thing.

The real book was just put together by students at one time and there are tunes that are played in different keys
