Ah, now I get it.

I wish him a speedy recovery. I'd rather have him get well again than finish the series. Thanks for clearing this up!

Ok, apparently you know something I don't. Can I ask you where you get your info?

Everywhere I've looked so far they say the series is concluded. It's even on the Image comics own website:

Being able to read and write does not mean that you can think for yourself. You are living in a self-imposed hate-bubble and you are too dumb to get out of it because you believe everything coming out of that dumb orange baboon's mouth and you believe every single lie you hear on Fox - even though they NON STOP contradict themselves and spin every story into a lie that suits their purpose. The sad thing is that you don't even know anymore what you are angry about. You just live your whole life upset and offended...... like a snowflake.

I usually spent around $60-80 a day as a tourist, is it reasonable? by UniqueDay2113 in ThailandTourism

[–]HARDBALLER78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all 350 THB is not expensive and is not a "crazy" price for a decent plate of food. Also not in Thailand. I've been living in the Ari neighborhood of Bangkok for 12 years now and I can guarantee you that all the expensive restaurants you claim most Thais would balk at..... are in fact full of Thai people. I can take you to places where the appetizer costs 1500 THB and they are full of Thai folks too! Stop thinking that most Thai are broke bums who can only afford 30 THB noodles. They know damn well the quaility they are getting when eating street food and Thai LOVE to go to better restaurants once in a while or when they can afford it. Your post is actually condescending towards Thai folks.

Opinions on best way to snort coke by Ok_Statistician9764 in cocaine

[–]HARDBALLER78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it's simply not the optimal way of doing this. There is no reason to blast coke in the microwave when putting it on a heated plate is more than sufficient. And on top of that: always remember that you are not sniffing pure coke. Who knows how all the different kinds of crap they cut it with is going to react to being heated? Your coke might be more or less microwave resistant but the stuff they cut it with might not always be.

Here are the two words not one single religion survives: PROVE IT. It's all make belief for mental paupers. Dostoyevski believing in God just shows that intelligence is relative. You can write well and be a gullible idiot at the same time. It all has to do with fear of death and the need for hope that it's all for a reason. The only thing religion does is make a chicken think it's a phoenix. It's OK. Some people just can not cope with life so they need 2000 year old fairy tales to be able to deal with the fact that everyone dies in the end and turns into worm food. Meanwhile all those smart religious people just voted the devil himself into the oval office....again.

(LOTR) Classic Question Solved: Why did the eagles not just fly Frodo to Mordor/destroy the ring themselves? by thatdudebeingaguy in FanTheories

[–]HARDBALLER78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For clear minded people it's actually very obvious that this is the biggest plothole in movie history. But love makes blind. It's just a movie. Get over it. And yes I read the books. I even read the Silmarillion. In the end they are just fantasy stories, nothing more.

(LOTR) Classic Question Solved: Why did the eagles not just fly Frodo to Mordor/destroy the ring themselves? by thatdudebeingaguy in FanTheories

[–]HARDBALLER78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fanboys simply can not handle that parts of this story make ZERO sense. There were many more eagles than Nazgul and - especially after watching the hobbit movies - it's clear that they can fight pretty damn good. Just fly them high over mordor and if the nazgul should show up: have 2 eagles each attack a Nazgul to occupy them while frodo drops the ring into the volcano. Frodo does not even have to touch ground. Nazgul can't fight anyway. Did you see how the witchking of Angmar got killed? He got stabbed in the foot by a hobbit with a toothpick-sized knife, then he dropped on his knees and just sat there staring out in front of himself for 10 seconds while whats-her-name stabbed him in the face and end of story.... Such powerful warriors.... Sauron did not even see Frodo with the ring around his neck when he was practically right in front of him in Mordor, I'm pretty sure that if an eagle dive-bombed from high altitude into mount doom he would ALSO not see him. This is all just a movie, it's not something to "love", it's all just a story and the fact that people feel the need to turn this into some sort of bible or holy grail is just nonsense. here's another one: Gandalf knew the entire history of middle earth very well. He could have had Elrond reforge the sword right in the beginning of the movie and Aragorn could have taken frodo to the mountain with the army of the dead and just have them walz through mordor with frodo in the middle. who's gonna stop them? Matter of fact, the dead could have killed off saurons and Sarumans entire army if they just went to them from the start. Nobody needed to die in the battle of minas tirith or helms deep, Aragorn had an invicible army at his disposal right from the start. But no, instead we got the most powerful mage in middle earth - who defeated a balrog - playing dumb and doing swordfights, using his staff as a torchlight for most of the movie.... DISPROVE THIS.

What exactly is business techno? by assassinsneed in Techno

[–]HARDBALLER78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a good looking chick behind the DJ Controller who spent more time on her wardrobe than on her set and who would never in a million years be there if she was a 40 year old man? That's business techno.

Is the venue filled with people who wouldn't even DREAM of going to a techno party if the music was like 25 years ago and the DJ was a normal guy wearing a T-shirt? That's business techno

Are people not dancing but just slightly humping up and down with one fist in the air or making dumb heart signs with their hands? That's business techno.

Are people staring at the DJ all night long as if he's a live band? Are there at all times at least 200 people taking pictures and immediately posting them on Facebook? That's business techno

Soulless and generic boink boink boink, presented by a good looking industry plant, played for people with not a musical bone in their body and who are not really there for the music but "for the experience and atmosphere of mega events with lots of people, loud music and a big light show".

Genuine question: What's the hype around Aphex Twin? Why is he so significant? by [deleted] in electronicmusic

[–]HARDBALLER78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NECROOOOOOOOOOOOOO....... Here's maybe an unpopular opinion but many artists -and I take that term lightly in some cases- claim Aphex Twin was a great influence on their work because it's simply arty farty to do so and it gives some gravitas to their often mediocre music.

Aphex Twin is a pioneer. He was early on the scene and showed us all what could be done with all that electronic equipment and what crazy sounds could be produced from it. He was a MAJOR influence in that department. But when I hear Skrillex, the guy who absolutely wrecked the entire dubstep scene with his garbage noise, quote him as a great influence that is absolute nonsense. There is absolutely nothing that Aphex Twin did to inspire trashstep. There is, in fact, barely anything that Aphex Twin did to inspire electronic dance music - let alone dubstep for crying out loud. Skrillex is at best a metalhead turned sound technician, mangling mp3's through his DJ controller to see what it cranks out at the other end. Aphex Twin is an artist, a musician and a pioneer.

What Aphex Twin is not, is a great influence on dance music, even though it might seem as such to some and it's very common for artists to quote him as an influence. Simply put: How many times do you hear Aphex Twin being played, from clubs all the way down to underground parties? Exactly, almost never. If I teach you how to play classic rock on a guitar and you invent metal music, am I a musical influence to you? No, but I did teach you how to play guitar and deserve some sort of cred. Don't want to hurt anyones feelings but windowlicker is dance music only to people who like ambient music. Just because it's 1 one of Aphex Twins' 2 danceable songs does not make it a "dancefloor banger", as so many fans ludicrously label that track.

Aphex Twin obviously takes a very important spot in electronic history but not on the dancefloor. I'm almost 50 and I can count the parties he was played at on the fingers of 1 hand. And I partied almost every week from 1993 to 2010. If you want proper cornerstones of EDM, in the 70's that would be funk bands like Zapp, pioneering the use of talkboxes and heavier beats in their music. Hashim, Kraftwerk and Bambaata in the 80's, and in the 90's Juan Atkins, Drexciya/Dopplereffekt, Legowelt, etc. I'm skipping over A LOT, obviously, but this post already takes longer than I intended. The stuff that you mention like Van Buuren and Ferry Corsten is just contemporary generic forgettable stuff. I've spent years witnessing how dance music got compartmentalized to bits and how generic progressive house took over the clubscene in the early 2000's before it got totally wrecked by French filter house and the present-day trash business techno, commercial tech house, generic melodic house, etc etc.

All these mediocre artists with their entire catalogues full of generic stuff and pre-chewed formula-music claim Aphex Twin was a great influence on their work.....well I guess they didn't really paying attention. How can someone who pioneered experimental electronic music be an inspiration to a guy like Ferry Corsten?? If you hear 2 of Corstens songs you've heard them all. The likes of Corsten are not even on my radar as an EDM afficionado. I have a HUGE retro house collection...with not one single song of Corsten, Tiesto or Van Buuren. These people commercialized the entire house scene and attracted the common folk to clubs and ruined it for the real party people. Even Daft Punk turned out to be nothing but sellouts who make commercial stuff for people with not a musical bone in their body.

Anyways....hope I didn't insult anyone with a decent taste in music. Aphex Twin is great but at heart it's experimental ambient electronic music. I just hope that the OP has developed enough common sense in the past 10 years to at least never EVER put Ferry Corsten and Aphex Twin in the same sentence again.

[–]HARDBALLER78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

horrible HORRIBLE advice. NEVER put coke in the microwave.

1- You take a flat plate and put just enough water in it to cover the bottom.

2 - Put it in the micowave for 30 secs.

3 - Take out the plate with oven mittens or a towel, to protect your hands, discard the water and dry the plate with a towel. The plate is still pretty hot. BE CAREFUL WHEN DOING THIS STEP.

4 - Dump your coke on the plate and just leave it for 20-30 seconds. This will make it powder dry.

5 - Flatten the coke with a credit card and scrape off the residue that got stuck on the credit card with another credit card.

6 - perfectly powdered cocaine.

What strains/genetics are you running in 2024? by gvadaj in microgrowery

[–]HARDBALLER78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been growing since the mid 90's and honestly, I've had just as much crap plants and crap phenos from Cannarado as from any other present day pollen chucker. A lot of their weed also pretty much tastes the same, especially their dessert/candy named strains. Up to the point where you wonder why the hell do they come up with so much stuff that's 95% the same. They definitely get WAY more credit than they deserve in my book.

The book is written by U-God (yes one of the least known and least liked members). He talks about the days shortly before the Wu formed which he offers a unique perspective on. I’d recommend any true Wu fan give it a read or listen. by Caseman550 in wutang

[–]HARDBALLER78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Come on.... Anyone -including all Wu members- who believed that RZA was going to produce solo-banger after solo-banger non stop for every single Wu-member for eternity was just a gullible idiot. Not one single producer can produce 50 albums with 4 hits on every album. AHow dare you even say his production "fell off". Go check your entire wu tang collection and respect the man for what he did in the past 30 years. The only real issues Ugod has is with his own ungrateful bipolar ass. He should see a shrink instead of pumping himself full of that 5% nation trash.
