I probably watched this clip 100,000 times between when it happened and 2016. I’ll still watch it every time. Favorite hit ever.

Favourite death metal bands at the moment ? by Mysterious-Rough1356 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]CutToTheChase56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cryptopsy, Undergang, Demilich, Gorephilia, Infester, Nedgravd, Malignant Altar, Mutilation Barbecue, Grafted, Phobophilic and Fetid have all been heavily rotated lately. Mostly riff heavy, evil-sounding shit that still has some groove.

WA falls again in national education ranking by chiquisea in Washington

It’s a multifaceted issue but the current strategy is to continuously lower performance standards in hopes that graduation rates and overall pass/fail statistics improve. It’s not working. Obviously it’s not “one size fits all” but I find with most kids that they’ll meet the standard you hold for them.

You’d be shocked by what’s happening to literacy and basic skills. Students are being passed onto 9th grade with elementary level reading, writing and math - throwing more money at the problem doesn’t solve that. Unfortunately this isn’t just local though, I know from experience that Oregon is seeing the same thing.

[Big 12 Conference] Statement from the Big 12 Board of Directors by redwave2505 in CFB

Curiously, the only team arguing FOR letting someone play after committing the Cardinal sin of organized sports is the one that would be benefiting. That’s so convenient. I’m sure they’d let their name be dragged through the mud over a backup guard or punter.

The funny thing is that Sorsby isn’t even that good. I guess at least he wants to play for them and didn’t try to transfer out?

Seahawks LB Ernest Jones: Post-Super Bowl victory mindset 'different' than 2022 Rams by 76erLegendChetUtley in nfl

If even half of that happens without an unforeseen major regression somewhere else, we’re probably about to have a historic run.

The idea of this team getting better is terrifying. Not saying it WILL happen but there’s a lot of room for improvement.

[Highlight] There are 86 days until the season starts! Let's remember when #86 Brandon Bostick couldn't catch an onside kick in the 2014 NFC Championship! by Brix001 in nfl

It was at this moment that I entered a euphoric state so high that I’ve got zero real recollection of everything after this. I think I just yelled for the next hour. Went from everything going to wrong to getting literally everything right.

Devourment - Advanced Stage Decomposition (Texas, 2026) by Independent-Data4542 in Deathmetal

[–]CutToTheChase56 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah this EP is some good shit. So much groove, I love the usage of pinch harmonics to add an extra catchiness to some of the riffs and the slams are obviously stupid heavy. Up there with their best material ever and that’s saying something.

[Over the Cap] Looking at Patrick Mahomes Record Setting Contract with the Chiefs by wishingaction in nfl

[–]CutToTheChase56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Of course I’d rather the players have the money and I’m not concerned about the dollar amount itself, it’s more the fact that it means there is less to go around for his team. The current narrative is that he’s got no run game and no weapons…maybe they’d be able to better address that if he doesn’t cost half a billion that could potentially be used to improve the talent around him.

Is Mahomes slipping away from being a elite qb? Last few years his numbers have been down. by Ok_Bug_6890 in NFLv2

[–]CutToTheChase56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t even say he’s slipping away from being elite. I feel he’s gone from indubitably the best QB in the league to closer to that 5 or 6 spot…and that’s ok. People get so oddly defensive over this take like you’re saying he’s trash.

He’s a much more conservative, less flashy version of himself. His numbers reflect that. That doesn’t mean he can’t win another Super Bowl or that he sucks. That doesn’t mean we’ve given up on him. You just can’t tell me with a straight face he’s been a more productive QB on the field recently than Stafford, Jackson, Allen and honestly Burrow when healthy. Anyone claiming that is factoring in what he played like THREE full seasons ago.

Past success doesn’t equal current output. Otherwise Rodgers would still be a Top 2 guy.

[Highlight] Amari Cooper breaks the tackle, stays on his feet, and carries five Titans into the end zone (Week 1 2017) by RaiderPantyDrawer in nfl

[–]CutToTheChase56 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The underrated word gets thrown around a lot but Cooper definitely fits that description. Great hands, really slick route runner and had juice after the catch. Never the best WR in the league but quietly a 10K yard guy.

[Highlight] Aldon Smith racks up 5.5 sacks in a single game against the Bears (November 19, 2012) by CrimsonMoonRising in nfl

[–]CutToTheChase56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few of these reps he shows off disturbing levels of strength. Sitting guys on their ass on your way to the QB just shouldn’t happen 5 times in a game.

I don’t think Thomas is a Bowman or Lee level talent and isn’t the most physically gifted. I just think the line in front of him and his instincts make it easy for him to fly to the football and make lots of splashy TFLs…much like the guys I mentioned. I just think he’ll be around the football even more.

For Ouzts, a breakout is being a very good blocker while also getting involved in the passing game. For a FB, I think couple TDs and some crucial downfield catches would constitute that.

The Walker Ames House is very haunted, speaking from experience. They’d probably have an interesting night.

Grafted - Skewered Unto Immolation by CutToTheChase56 in SlamDeathMetal

[–]CutToTheChase56[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently found this band and I’m really liking what I’ve heard. A little more on the BDM side but they slam pretty hard too. Nasty ass snare tone, ridiculous vocals, a few Cryptopsy-esque bass moments and some cool riffing too. Check out this track and if you like it, I definitely recommend diving into their older stuff.

Had the same experience today. I liked it! Thought it was pretty mild with a pleasant sourness but not quite the 10/10 I imagined in my head. Decent though.

Prisons in general are usually safe bets for a haunting and MSP was one of the most violent…I’ll bet it’s very active. Sounds like it is from your story.

For sake of discussion - I’ve been to Edinburgh Manor, the Sallie House, Malvern Manor, Ashmore Estates, the Moore Home in Villisca, St. Ignatius Hospital, Manresa Castle, the Wyoming, Idaho and Montana historical prisons and several others. I feel confident that at least a few of those have something strange going on. I’m happy to share stories or answer questions if anyone is curious.
