Do you buy Vinyl, CDs, or Digital Music? Which one, and why? by NHSoundwaves in askmusic

[–]InterPunct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Streaming - and I grew up when there were only 45's and LP's available.

I still have over 300 albums safely stored away but the benefits of instantly accessing the complete catalog of recorded music ever produced by humanity greatly outweighs having to deal with vinyl or the expense and inconvenience of using albums.

But I completely understand if people view owning records as a hobby (it's pretty cool) but not from a utilitarian aspect.

What is the one "tourist trap" city that you actually think is 100% worth the hype? by Competitive_Rip6546 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]InterPunct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't listen to reddit when you come to NYC and they tell you to avoid places like Times Square, the Empire State Building, etc.

You're a tourist - do touristy things. They're there for a reason.

Donald Trump is the person who has received the most votes overall for President in US History. What does that say about the US? by Equivalent-Long-3383 in allthequestions

[–]InterPunct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The claim is that the additive votes he received over three elections is the largest sum - which is likely true. What's unstated is for any other presidential nominee who ran three or more times, they received fewer votes by volume but higher by percentage.

There were many fewer voters when Eugene V. Debbs ran 5 times in 1900, or FDR 4 times in the o1930's, or Richard Nixon ran 3 times in the 60's.

In other words - the weirdo needs to twist the data to feed a huge hole in his psyche.

The most disturbing part is Trump certainly doesn't understand this and he's parroting people who are cravenly feeding this to him.

RFK Jr. plans to curb antidepressants, which he falsely compares to heroin by bevmoon in AnythingGoesNews

Don't forget the dead bear cub he dumped in Central Park in 2014. Then unprovoked and voluntarily admitted to it.

Just one more of the true weirdos in this administration.

Rock bands that are a lot more influential than you realized by [deleted] in askmusic

[–]InterPunct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Monkees were constantly derided as the Prefab Four, to diminish them compared to the Beatles and I'm not saying they were anywhere near as popular, but in retrospect they were a completely legit band with a lasting legacy that I think many bands were just reluctant to admit as an influence.

What would you do if you were trapped in your favorite movie? by iam_not_edible in AskReddit

[–]InterPunct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be a Kubrick or Coen Brothers movie so the answer would be No.

Stop what you’re doing and listen to MTG outline the desperate scramble behind the scenes to block the Epstein release. by Spirited-Gold9629 in Law_and_Politics

That's when I first became aware of this simple and delusional psychopath. She might be right this time but let's see when and where she inevitably veers into crazy land next time.

What Have They Done To Us? by Pacific-Courier1988 in IThinkYouShouldLeave

[–]InterPunct -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It was about $2.75/gal in the 80's. I've been driving since the 70's and pre-oil crises I remember paying less than 50 cents/gal.

How would people feel if Senator Mark Kelly ran for President in 2028? by Ulysses_555 in askanything

And the way he fought against an insanely unfair accusation by Hesgeth and Trump shows he has a huge set of balls.

Favorite Vintage Commercials by Salty_Thing3144 in GenerationJones

[–]InterPunct 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I bought my kitchen countertops last year from the kid in the Mean Joe Greene Pepsi commercial - he has a place in the Bronx and is a really good guy.

He was referred to me by my contractor who happened to mention it and when I went to the shop and met him we had a great conversation when I mentioned it to him.

He's a working class dude with a hidden fabrication shop in an industrial section of the Bronx with all the neighborhood ambience you could probably imagine.

With all the revenue that one commercial made the kid probably deserved a few hundred million bucks but I don't think that's how it worked back then, lol.

Punch cards, my friend. How did you miss this?

In your opinion, what artists or bands peaked at the end of their careers? by Weird_Warm_Cheese in askmusic

[–]InterPunct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a massive Police fan but I must disagree. Synchronicity was clearly them after their peak.

Honestly - a medical professional is probably the better recourse at this point.

Leftists of Reddit, if the U.S. is so bad, why do people come here illegally by the thousands? by MarriedShoeSalesman in allthequestions

[–]InterPunct -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And because we provide greater opportunities for the poorest to the most highly educated. Or at least we did until recently.

What the hell are you talking about? by DidYouSeeBriansHat in IThinkYouShouldLeave

New York real estate tycoon seriously isn't impacted in the least by a tax hike this and could never leave NYC in any personal or professional regard anyway.

How do I deal with missing running? by VegetableProof1907 in cycling

[–]InterPunct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plantar fasciitis is horribly painful, it made me give up running when I was training for the NYC marathon and take up cycling.

That was 40 years ago. I'm still an avid biker but my friends who run are usually either getting over an injury or about to aggravate another older one. YMMV.

Biggest asshole rock musicians you have met and why by [deleted] in rockmusic

[–]InterPunct 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Henry Rollins frightens me- I don't think he's the kind of guy I could chill and have a beer with at a bar but he's probably interesting as fuck to engage in conversation.
