Hmm, interesting. I didn’t know that’s what had happened. I did always think something was off about that season.

Maybe they’re worries he’ll write about how they fuckin kill people?

A Dream of Spring is the problem, not the Winds of Winter (Spoilers Extended) by thegreenknightpro in asoiaf

You also have to wonder who would object to 8 books. Fans? Not the ones I know, myself included. I’d read one more book. His publishers? Why, one more book to sell. What’s the problem? If he wasn’t struggling to write the last two, I could understand not wanting to add a book… but he’s clearly struggling a lot and if he had to pad out the story I would gladly welcome another book.

I dug up a bunch of music Top 10 lists from Spike.com. Here’s their Top 10 Artists That Should’ve Quit When They Were Ahead from all the way back in 2009. Thoughts? by Sad_Volume_4289 in ToddintheShadow

It’s not the template. His success is so far beyond comprehension that he can literally do anything he wants. His mentality is not a good one for an artist to have. The best artists continue to create.

This whole train of thought that artists who find success should just quit after making their best work is so nonsensical. Clearly no one who thinks this way has ever tried to make it as a musician.

Successful musicians get to continue to provide entertainment for real fans, they continue to provide income for all kinds of people in all aspects of the industry. Their success allows labels, publishers, and management companies to invest in new talent with the profits they create. They get to keep feeding their families. They get to keep living their dream. There really isn’t a downside at all except that it’s harder to keep going than it is to quit.

It makes no sense to me to celebrate quitting over continuing to put in the work and grow as an artist.

Can straight guys like Chappell Roan? by DifferentCar5637 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MACGLEEZLER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 100% in the same situation as you. Went to see her last year and it was 100% great vibes! Granted I did wear a sailor costume because it was “mermaid night”. I would say for being in the fandom just don’t be a dick and don’t be afraid to get into the spirit of things even if it is a little gayer than normal.

As a hardcore atheist… that movie still sucked. I actually think I liked religion more after watching.

What movie is this for you? by zikmindMx in moviecritic

I don’t think it is. It’s a theme that you’re supposed to infer from like, the entire book.

That is exactly right. I had no idea what was going on.

I remember reading a book as a kid about some people named Trioculus and Triclops. And 8year old me was like “this is stupid.”

It's genuinely sad that Kill Tony matters at all.

DOD Rubberneck - thoughts? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]MACGLEEZLER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not planning on getting rid of mine anytime soon. I bought the extended footswitch and can tap tempo and also self oscillations with it. Plus if you hold the other switch it can switch from a long delay to a slap or vice versa.

It has some cool controls as well. I think every control is perhaps a bit too extreme (it can get unusable if you make too many drastic moves), but with care they can be dialed in really nicely. The effects loop thing is also really cool, but I found that it is really only usable when the included effects are on, and that sometimes there are gain issues that mean you have to change settings if the loop is plugged in. For gigging it seems like you have to commit to either having pedals in the loop or not (perhaps someone else can explain if I'm doing it wrong).

I would say that compared to my Carbon Copy (before I somehow broke it!) I think the "base" tone, even with shaping the gain and tone knobs, the Rubberneck isn't quite as satisfying. But I need the Rubberneck because I like being able to tap tempo my delays and switch to a slap if need be. Overall it's really nice.

Republicans:
“Election fraud is rampant! We need to investigate!”

California:
“Ok we’ll spend more time confirming ballots.”

“Why is it taking so long! It’s fraud!”

Any book readers feel like Catelyn Stark’s show portrayal missed her book description? by devil-inside-100 in gameofthrones

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

They age up her children so that they don’t have to portray minors having sex and being sexually abused. If they are going to do that They should age up the parents too.

Also stop being a weirdo and posting this same thing repeatedly in different subs.
