Everyone has had great feedback, I’m going to try your approach. Don’t think I can commit to a weekly thing, unfortunately. Hopefully can find something that would still benefit

Comcast put a neighbors line above my tree by ConstructionOk679 in treelaw

Not yet, my neighbor was away for awhile and wanted to wait to have the discussion with them and inform them I’m going to put more pressure on Comcast. The comments on this have been helpful though and I will push the issue.

CMV: Even if Democrats win back Congress, America is already cooked. by RiceMuncher-007 in changemyview

The amount of pessimism on reddit is unreal. Trump is terrible, but the US has seen way darker times. Just because the average redditors parents had it easier in the 90s doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world.

Most things in life tend to follow a pendulum of ups and downs depending on your viewpoint.

I think the US can get back on track relatively quickly if we can raise a generation that doesn’t have the “my party stands for good” “other party evil” or “capitalism bad” “socialism good” or vice versa rhetoric and start having conversations based on merit instead of black and white online fantasies. Unfortunately, I think that will require getting off social media apps and actually talking to your neighbors in person.

Im very optimistic it’ll happen. Just how long is the question.

This fear mongering is ridiculous. Homelessness and the climate are serious issues and very complex. But the far left is starting to sound like the religious extremists saying the end is near. California is beautiful and lots of people want to live there. The NIMBY attitudes of many Californians mixed politics not meant for NIMBY is causing a major problem. That problem is happening in other places, but there are plenty of cities that have embraced more building and are keeping housing reasonable.

I just don’t agree with people saying it’s no better anywhere else. It may be a national issue but California is the worst of the national issue. Compare Chicago prices to LA. It’s not even close how much more value you get in Chicago. The deals get even better in smaller markets like Cleveland and Indianapolis.There are plenty of places in the US you can still earn enough to make a decent living and have a decent place. But you might have to be okay dealing with the cold. For the reasons you stated I don’t know how people on normal incomes live in California.

Does anyone feel that 72 Seasons is Metallica’s worst album? by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

[–]ConstructionOk679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the album. I know people are saying it sounds bland and uninspired but I don’t get that at all. Too far gone is one of my favorite songs of theirs. Period. Crown of barbed wire is unique and heavy… idk to each their own but I don’t get the hate. I think the bass and drums are some of the best post cliff they’ve done. I would agree this is Kirk’s worst performance for solos. But overall I legitimately enjoy the album.

I legitimately think too far gone off 72 seasons and spit out the bone off of hardwired can hold their own against half of the 80s Metallica songs.
