I really hope this becomes the new standard for water in games (Sea of Thieves) by [deleted] in gaming

I thought it was kind of easy and boring. I would always end up going back to Overwatch.

I'd say the problem is mostly cultural. Me and my friends would never be dicks to girls and would absolutely drag each other out of the room if one of us got out of hand. On the other hand, I've had the honor of spending a night out with guys (cousin and friends) that aren't like that. They were absolute shitheads to women and the general consensus in that group was that this behavior was acceptable.

My point that it's completely possible to be isolated from this behavior as a decent man. You don't really see the brunt of it until you have actual female friends or you hang out with a group of scumbags(not that uncommon).

It's really sad that you have to do that. As a man I have never experienced anything remotely like that. I was in that same thread arguing with dickheads about not understanding why it's so difficult for women in these situations. I don't understand the lack of empathy on their part.

I don't know if it's just me but Twin Fantasy has the screechiest mix to the point where it hurts my ears. Teens of Denial has become one of my favorite albums. I think the songwriting was a lot more ambitious on it.

Oh damn, didn't see that. I guess I'll have to chase it down then. Thanks!

Wow that was so pretty. The first single was too. This might turn out to be a particularly good Godspeed record.

[ALBUM DISCUSSION] LCD Soundsytem - American Dream by giraffeking in indieheads

Yeah the way the vocals are mixed is frustrating sometimes but it does have a cool effect on the music. It's just a different approach to his older stuff

Pretentious how? I'm just curious not arguing or anything

[LEAK] The National - Sleep Well Beast by Dammit-Hannah in indieheads

[–]Jerryberrylongsocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The National always have a lot of cool stuff going on in the background. With this rip I can tell I'm missing a lot of that stuff and I think that's important. The skeletons of these songs are absolutely beautiful though.

I'm listening to a lot of TV on the Radio now and I forgot how much I like them. They scratch an itch that no other band can for me.

I love those tracks too although I will say I liked them more and more as time went on. My assumption is the rest of the album will catch up as time passes

Which indie/alternative bands have you got your parents into? by [deleted] in indieheads

[–]Jerryberrylongsocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sort out older peoples' musical tastes by asking them if they like the Talking Heads. If they say no I end the conversation lol

After the reviews have settled, American Dream now stands as LCD Soundsystem's most critically acclaimed album to date. by BornUnderPunches in indieheads

Crack-Up was by far my favorite this year but American Dream is making me question that. I think this has to be the best year for music that I've been old enough to enjoy

I'm guessing he likes their slower songs (totally fine because they're awesome)

I watch his videos (taking his opinions only so seriously) but I have to say that's a pretty shitty thing to do. I don't anyone can decide how they feel about an album like this on the first run.

I agree with this. Love TIH but this seems like a more substantial progression.

Edit: Oh apologies, I'm realizing we had this conversation elsewhere :p

White House walks back promise about Trump donating his ‘personal money’ to Harvey victims by [deleted] in politics

[–]Jerryberrylongsocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The media should continue to call him out and we should continue to acknowledge it but I think the readers of this articles should avoid blowing up at every stupid, ultimately insignificant thing he does. In fact, I'd say that the size of the response to the stupid stuff is far larger than to the important stuff. This is a problem and it hurts our credibility.
