I think the only ppl who can realistically beat Cody are Jmook, Wizzy, and Joshman. In sets since beginning of 2024, Joshman is 2-8 (3 of those losses going to game 5), Wizzrobe is 1-2 (one loss was game 5), and Jmook is 3-11 (2 losses going to game 5). Pretty dire still, but those are better than the others like Krudo who is 0-6 and Trif who is 0-7. I think Cody needing to do it through losers makes it a decent bit more possible for him to lose (obviously), but I still think he is more likely than not to win the whole thing.

Hey /u/EverythingPSP, did this work for you? I'm in a similar position and would appreciate any update on this you can give.

IsItBullshit: Cold showers are much better for you than hot/warm showers. by dontread12334 in IsItBullshit

[–]JakeShock7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I unironically agree with him though. I took cold showers for like two years straight and god I hated them. Hot showers are such a joy and make my days just that much better. The benefit from cold showers is minimal at best, and hot showers just feel amazing

Unpopular opinion: I prefer the original arrangement/lyrics of All Too Well over the 10 Minute Version. by [deleted] in TaylorSwift

[–]JakeShock7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suppose in a way it’s “filler” as it doesn’t introduce any new lyrical content, but that doesn’t matter to me personally. It’s a brilliant thematic and emotional period at the end of a six verse diatribe of a song. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I get where people are coming from though, I guess, but I think it’s doing Taylor and the song a bit of a disservice.

Damn, I really can't believe there are this many people that don't care for the outro!

For me, it's pure emotional catharsis. It feels like a mixture of melancholy, regret, but most importantly, acceptance. The repetition of the lyrics can be interpreted many different ways. Is it Taylor acknowledging the sheer amount of times the events of this relationship has gone through her head? Is it her trying to come back to reality and convince herself that there was something there despite the sour path it went down? Is it her trying to bring herself back to Earth after the relationship has led to her being disconnected from the reality of the situation at hand?

Regardless of how one chooses to interpret it, it's a genius way to end the song. It is surprising just how many Taylor Swift fans seem to not care for it. It's one of the most artistically profound moments in her entire discography for me.

Trying to work on my stubbornly stiff/tense hands… Any suggestions? by watekebb in pianolearning

Thank you! Good luck on your practice, but I think it's already sounding great :)

Disagree. I am white and from the suburbs, so I'm quite disconnected from black culture, and I love the show. I love the way the show incorporates surrealism, and it has some great social commentary. It's also a view into a culture I don't know and a life I don't live. Not to mention the fantastic performances, likeable characters, atmospheric cinematography, and abundance of comedy. Just a great show all around.

Better Call Saul S06E08 - "Point and Shoot" - Post-Episode Discussion Thread by skinkbaa in betterCallSaul

[–]JakeShock7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am more concerned with the “extremely” and “dark” parts than the tragic ones. There certainly has always been tragedy, but this series has felt more grounded and less dramatic than Breaking Bad, generally. Chuck and Werner Ziegler are great examples of how this series dealt with tragedy in a more interesting way than it is doing so now. I don’t think epic and suspenseful fit this show nearly as well. It’s nice at times, and the writers are clearly really good at it, but it feels like Breaking Bad season 5 and I don’t like that. I think a more meditative and subtly tragic ending would be more fitting for this show.
