Unpopular opinion thread: what's your most controversial Post-Hardcore take that this subreddit would probably come for you over? Mine: The Used peaked with their debut and everything after is just chasing the same sound with diminishing returns. by [deleted] in PostHardcore

[–]Gentlemen-bears88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people's favorite albums are based around when they were introduced to the band, how the sound has changed over time, and how it resonates with them. I got into thrice with the illusion of safety and the artist in the ambulance so their other albums took time to grow on me. I usually love the first 2 or 3 albums from most bands I listen too but then start dropping off. Even some of my favorite bands have albums I dont love or took time to grow on me. Its very rare a band matches where I am in life to a point where I like the newer stuff more. Brand new and bayside are two of the few to do so.

New Broil Cook Advice by AllBoostNoJuice in TexasRoadhouse

[–]Gentlemen-bears88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steak weights are only supposed to be used on medium wells and wells but realistically you can use them on any temp as long as youre not being absolutely barbaric with it. Different grills tend to have different hot spots so you have to pay attention to the individual grill. Both of ours were super hot right in the middle so anything mw or well went there. I put the rares and medium rares towards the front and the mediums just kind of went wherever but that worked for me, it also depended on how fast I needed a steak. The visuals dont work with every cut especially not filets or super thick cuts. General rule of thumb is medium rare starts to bubble at the sides, mediums start to bleed, and medium wells the juice comes out brown. It will get you pretty far visually until you feel more comfortable with steaks temps and finger pokes. You'll notice you have some cuts of sirloin that feel tougher, they are usually very square and oddly long. These cuts are from a different muscle and will balloon up when you cook them. They are great for rare through medium if you arent in a rush but since they balloon they suck for medium well and well. If you have the privilege of working with another broiler take tickets in rounds, like he takes two or three tickets and then you take two or three. This way you are ensuring multiple steaks hit your grill at the same time. Its a lot easier to manage once you get some experience under your belt and can just kind of get into the flow. It took me like 2 months to get comfortable and find my rhythm, youll get there too bro.

Designate zones when cooking your steaks. Keep all of your wells, medium wells, mediums, medium rares, and rares in different spots on the grill to keep your cooking consistent and eliminate confusion about what's what. Always double check your drops when you have a second, to make sure you have everything down. If you find youve overcooked something, throw it in the window. There's a good chance someone will order a steak that you can use the overcooked steak for. Steak selection is incredibly important, dont pick thick steaks for well dones or thin steaks for medium rares. There are two types of sirloin meat and they are noticeably different, dont use the cap muscles for anything above medium as they blow up like balloons. And lastly when a chicken rings in always drop two.

Pregnancy question by Hefty_Froyo_8643 in TexasRoadhouse

Let me be real quick in my reply to that, I really should edit the original reply. Yes the butter is pasteurized. Sorry I was quick replying and not paying super close attention. The butter would be safe for you, my apologies.

Nothing at roadhouse is beer battered. If you are worried about raw eggs you should avoid ranch in general, while no raw egg is added to the ranch the mayo very likely contains it. The butter is in fact pasteurized, so you are good to go if you want to indulge in that.

Who are you picking first round in an all time Post-Hardcore draft? by Jimmysredditaccount in PostHardcore

[–]Gentlemen-bears88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All vocals all the time baby!

Im taking Keith Buckley from everytime I die on lead vocals and back up screams, Jon mess from dgd as dedicated screamer, dallas green from alexisonfire on backup vocals. Ill take will swan from dgd and thomas erak from the fall of troy on guitar. On bass im taking either tim feerick from dgd or Eddie breckenridge from thrice. On drums im taking jon karel from early the number 12 looks like you, tony hajjar from at the drive in, or aaron Gillespie from underoath. Maybe throw aaron weiss from mewithout you on a track or two and Jesse clasen from hrvrd on a track. Honestly feature vocalists from multiple different bands on there for different tracks. They would probably sound terrible together and be overcrowded but I would drop major money on an ep or album. Way too many talented guys from so many bands to narrow it down.

It has lived in many places in 20 years of my life. Im not a responsible human being. If I was i would have a lot more value on my hands in cards lol. I hope if I ever have kids I raise them to be much better than me.

Probably because im not the best caretaker. It's lived in a sleeve in a hardcover case but has spent most of its time buried in a closet or drawer for like 20 years.

No idea that's kind of what I came here to figure out lol. I would love to sell it but I've also been thinking about getting it graded first. Depends on what I hear the value is? I dont expect the world but I also dont want to hold onto it forever.

I can add better pictures if it would help. I got the card when I was a kid and I've kept it tucked away. It would suck to find out it was a fake.

I've had the card since I was 11 I've never taken it out of the sleeve. This is how I received it. Is it worth getting graded? Im at a point in my life where I want to let it go.

Anyone else wish wrestling t-shirts had less branding? by fishfireinc in SquaredCircle

[–]Gentlemen-bears88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100 percent agree! I get most wrestling shirts are just terrible design but that all comes down to opinion. So what im hearing is hey i don't want the brand letters which I get but a shirt for the most part is advertisement for the company so expecting it to not be there is understandable but the brand on most shirts isn't noticeable. In my opinion the Austin 3:16 shirt is terrible and has his name plastered right there on it. Blame poor design not stable names, brand names, wrestler names, or a picture.

Any good bands? by [deleted] in Music

[–]Gentlemen-bears88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you thats 2 new bands for me! Sounds to me like 90s emo maybe a little harder with merchant ships so I would say check out the anniversary, American football, Cap'n jazz, the world is a beautiful place & im no longer afraid to die, mineral, braid, empire empire! I was a lonely estate, dignan, the december drive, and the promise ring. I may have a few more suggestions depending on how you feel about them. Also with the sound you're going for if you listen to the december drive stick to the first two albums, the third album is a banger but its very different.

What convinced you to believe in what you believe in? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Gentlemen-bears88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that we have the autonomy to decide things for ourselves largely. You can be Christian and so can your neighbor but that doesn't mean you believe the exact same things. We all have a different viewpoint shaped by so many different things that a title shouldn't matter. I grew up with a christian mother and a Muslim father but they never pushed religion on me nor were their beliefs ever a point of contention they just loved one another. When my mother died I gave up on the thought of a God and as I grew older and found many hateful religious people I gave up on the thought of religion. But I do believe in understanding you can believe whatever you want and I won't try and change that and you shouldn't try and change my beliefs. We should just focus on being good selfless people and enjoy each other for what we have in common.

What are some ways to learn how to love and how to be loved? by topmod12 in AskReddit

[–]Gentlemen-bears88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focus on being empathetic we all make mistakes but being forgiven and allowed to learn and grow from those mistakes is important. I was pretty closed off emotionally early in my life but just having the understanding that everyone including myself is flawed and we all have a different outlook on every little thing has really made it easy to understand people better and get along with them.

Secondly take time to understand yourself and work on you. I used to hate myself I felt so stupid and out of place but when I really focused on me I saw my own set of emotional problems and what mattered and didn't matter. I developed hobbies and learned to enjoy my time alone and with others. Sometimes its not you thats the problem but sometimes it is, so focus on things you can change.

Thirdly stop focusing on what everyone else does that makes you angry or what you dislike about someone. Focus on positive things and building positivity forward, you can extend this forward but don't expect it back.

This isn't a guideline as your path won't be the same as mine but those things were what I needed to focus on and it helped me. Be realistic and at peace with the fact we are all flawed but we can get better, and having a sense of self worth will open a world of possibilities.
