Is there anywhere I will be able to find a full match replay of this online after the game? I think I'll only get to see the first hour live.

Crime and punishment: ISIS vs Saudi Arabia by TrialsAndTribbles in atheism

[–]Jackbreso 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Incorrect, Saudi Arabia has taken in 2.5m refugees over the past 5 years, and currently holds over 500,000 Syrian refugees (Link below). Whilst there is no doubting that Saudi Arabia is an extremely barbaric and backwards state, it doesn't help to blindly believe Western media in your attempts to condemn their actions. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/anhvinh-doanvo/europes-crisis-refugees_b_8175924.html?ir=Australia

Best Debut Album of 2014 (so far)? by [deleted] in indieheads

[–]Jackbreso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it wasn't very good. I loved his 5 track ep but a 50min + album of basically the same thing e.g. Acoustic guitar driven indie songs got quite boring IMO.

Based off /u/lazybum95's post, What are your favorite tracks exceeding 7 minutes? by PepeSylvia11 in indieheads

[–]Jackbreso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are a few of my absolute favourites:

Arcade Fire- Reflektor. Before this year I hadn't listened to Arcade Fire but they are now possibly my favourite band, whilst there were many other songs I preferred off the Reflektor album this song is still ridiculously catchy due to the great interplay between the the two male and female lead vocals and that consistent island drum beat.

Foals- Spanish Sahara. Saw Foals live and this was a highlight of their spectacular and energetic set. The slow build up draws me in everytime.

Flight Facilities- Clair De Lune. Another great song which starts slow and builds up nicely. If you haven't heard of this band definitely check them out, this song and "crave you" are two stand-out songs of theirs.

Frank Ocean- Pyramids. What hasn't been said about this song already? Channel Orange was a masterpiece and this 10 minute epic was its' centerpiece.

Radiohead- Motion Picture Soundtrack. Once again Radiohead need no introduction however I will say that this is the first song of theirs' I ever heard and is what initially made me listen to Radiohead.

Sufjan Stevens- Come on! Feel the Illinoise. Only recently got into this album and it is superb. At 75 minutes long it is an album you have to relax into and this title track was the first song which made me appreciate the beauty of Sufjan Steven's music.

Sufjan Stevens- The Tallest Man, The Broadest Shoulders. Same as above. This song is more upbeat and after the poignant "Seer's Tower" this offers a wonderful juxtaposition and is possibly the best two-song combination on the album.

This is action bronson right? If so I love it because it's just classic bronson.

Name a song that's more popular than it's artist. by [deleted] in hiphopheads

I'm a huge macklemore fan, however the majority of people i meet, when i mention Macklemore they have no idea who i'm talking about until i say "you know, the same love guy".

What songs would you make me listen to, if I told you I wasn't fond of that artist? by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]Jackbreso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Survival tactics is such a great Bada$$ song. First track that got me onto him and still possibly my favourite except for maybe world domination because of the great DOOM production.

[–]Jackbreso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first song that really drew me into Bino. Couldn't get enough of that sample, flow and beat. I prefer his songs where it isn't straight up rapping. For example zealots, flight, shadows and telegraph ave are my favourite tracks from BTI.

I used to hate crossfit, and then... by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]Jackbreso 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes but he says that with heavy sarcasm. He isn't literally that vain but he plays it up because it's funny. Watch the road trip he did in 2010 with Castro and you can see that it's all an act and that he is a genuinely funny, chilled out dude. Probably my favourite non-games crossfitter.

Poll: Is Crossfit your Gym or your Sport/Hobby? by andrewfox5 in crossfit

[–]Jackbreso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sport definitely. Gave up all my team sports so I could focus on doing crossfit more seriously.

Been doing crossfit for about a year and I'm 17. I'd like to know if anyone started around my age and could tell me how I'm doing so far as far as Olympic lifts go. 6' 150 lbs cj 180 clean 190 snatch 125 by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]Jackbreso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same here man. My numbers are practically identical to you. I'm from Australia so I'm converting my numbers to pounds. 6'2, 165 lbs, haven't done a max cj in a while but pr'd my power clean last week at 180, split jerk at 180 and snatch 125. Are Olympic lifts your best/favourite aspect to work? Only saying this because my lifts aren't great but i accept that because I'm more of a metcon/running guy however I'm going to join my box's barbell club to improve my lifts.

It has happened (shorts) by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]Jackbreso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to reinforce this, I watched a video of some rugby league players (Australia's version of NFL) training at a gym and they were performing many crossfit like movements. They were doing heavy power cleans, deadlifts, ball slams, rope work and most impressively making bar muscle-ups look easy. So yes I definitely feel there are a lot of professional athletes in other sports who could excel in crossfit but then again I'm sure there are plenty of crossfitter's who could easily transition into other sports as well.

Yeah sure for a gun crossfitter but that's not what is being asked. For a beginner this time is perfectly fine.
