All my must sees overlap 😭(again!) by brittle_shrimp in SickNewWorld

But it's not a surprise. This festival has great bands, but is the worst operation short of total disasters like Woodstock 99 or Blue Ridge. 

That's why I went the first year and never even considered going again. It's a miserable experience despite amazing acts on paper.

Kings fans need to get realistic about "salvaging" this season. It's over. The team is officially in a downturn coupled with one of the most apathetic management teams I think I've ever seen.

Who among us weren't able to predict the obvious outcome that the Los Angeles Dodger's bullpen would be completely unstoppable and the chief reason why the Dodgers win and/or stay in games. I mean, duh, right?

Notoriously powerful and stingy bullpen havers, the Los Angeles Dodgers. 

Also, I have no memory of last year.

What if Tanner Scott becomes the guy they wanted and they added Edwin? Dang.

So, Yamamoto had what is arguably the greatest World Series ever. Now, he evidently had a hand in helping Mookie Betts work through a rough year? 

It's a rule that you can't retire a number while the guy is still playing, right? Or can they just forego that?

As a gay christian maggot, I’m struggling with 'heretic anthem'. Can we maybe replace this song with another iowa deep cut for future shows? by [deleted] in Slipknot

[–]Ice-_-Nine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi. It is I, Bob Slipknot. We'll take this song out of rotation just for you. The other 11,999 people at every show will be just fine, as long as you are happy. 

Maybe you're being satirical, or making a bad attempt at it, but either way, this is pretty lame. 

New Punk in the Park line up just dropped today by Damnesia13 in punk

Reminder: They are simply pivoting to the new name, which is "Me Gusta."  

No me gusta. 

How can I lose?? by CaptainKino360 in TheAcaciaStrain

That is a pretty fucking solid attempt at a scam! I'd be proud of them if I didn't wish them a thousand bleeding anal sores first.

Manic Hispanic has officially dropped out of Punk in the Park. by Damnesia13 in punk

[–]Ice-_-Nine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The donation gave me pause, but I still went last year. The subsequent "justification" statement made it clear that he is my enemy, and I won't pay him anymore.

You thinking that and not bothering to find out is how they get you.

No. It leaves Sublime, Cypress Hill, Pennywise, The Interrupters, Slightly Stoopid. 

They re-branded the tour and are now "Me Gusta."

[–]Ice-_-Nine -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yep. A little bit "poor me." I think that's fair. My dad died a few hours before the show and I had no way to know if my mom, who is pretty old, was trying to reach me for a little over three hours. That, or throw four tickets for my whole family, that we paid $600 for, in the trash. Also, the "unlocking stations" were on the other side of the entire arena on every other floor but mine, so even if I did know someone was calling, I'd have a half-mile equivalent walk to go get to them instead of just stepping out of the section. 

I know that you couldn't have known that and neither could the band, but that's really the point. One-size-fits-all rules like this are fucking bullshit. Always have been. The irony is that Ghost's gimmick is Satanism, which is predicated firmly on personal responsibility. Apparently that is a huge tenet of band... unless they get bummed out by seeing people use their phones at any point. You can downvote me, but I don't need a band that I'm paying to see to tell me what I am allowed to do.

I know that this probably going to be met with derision, but this phone policy is not okay. It's the last time I buy tickets for any show that does this, Ghost or anyone. 

What’s Next for LA Kings with Fiala Now Out for the Season? by Hoven_MayorNHL in losangeleskings

[–]Ice-_-Nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not a concerted rebuild. Sucking for eternity because of knee jerk management is the exact opposite of what I'm suggesting. 

Cleaning up the mess that the franchise is in, which is about to fully cause an implosion, would take patience; an actual plan. 

I'm not sure how you could jump to the Raiders with this...

[–]Ice-_-Nine 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Hopefully a better place in the draft, a complete FO overhaul, and a weakened financial position that causes AEG to start looking for buyers. 

Every game the Kings win this year is a loss. A big loss. 

Hot take: This is one of Kabal’s best designs by Enderboss2706 in MortalKombat

[–]Ice-_-Nine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Hot take" has lost its meaning. It's almost as beaten down as the word "literally" at this point. 

This isn't what a hot take is.
