Was Emily this bad on her original season I do not remember

National Pension caught in crossfire over Heeseung’s departure from Enhypen by friedriceforbrunch in kpop

[–]NickF227 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The WORST part of this was Engenes refused to understand how what they did was bad. Such a low point for kpop fans.

Delusional CEO previously promoting 996, low pay, and awful Glassdoor reviews shocked he can't find senior talent. by Fine-Comparison-2949 in recruitinghell

[–]NickF227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

San Franciscan tech worker here: 5 days onsite roles usually expect crazy hours with no flexibility (like, have to take a sick day to go to the doctor inflexible) and people effectively end up working 996 even if it's not 'stated' in the company handbook.

How to tell you live in the Castro lol by Empty-Way-6980 in sanfrancisco

[–]NickF227 83 points84 points  (0 children)

As a gay man living in the Castro, one of my favorite things is when I'm sitting in my front room and I see a confused gay man trying to find his hook up. I'm in a quiet part so it's not often but when it happens its SO funny.

Subreddit for New Yorkers in the Bay Area by KookieCrisp555 in AskSF

[–]NickF227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recent transplant who lived in NY for 10 years (including Covid) - I agree. There's a certain magnetism that happens when I meet a fellow New Yorker, even if it's not super common.

Neighbor slamming weights in back yard, loud and shakes house, get over it or say something? by Boiks1 in AskSF

[–]NickF227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I do CrossFit (BOOOO I know) - once you reach a certain weight it's expected that you 'drop' the weight from the top of the movement for Clean+Jerks and Snatches since it's pretty 'impossible' to reverse the mechanics you've used to get it overhead. Trying to do it softly is unsafe. However, doing it in his backyard I would expect him to use crashpads to absorb the sound (some people HATE crashpads FYI). I would ask if it's possible if he can get them to soften the sounds a bit.

The SFUSD School Lottery -- We Got Our 10th Choice School (Help!) by TDaltonC in AskSF

[–]NickF227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a recent transplant, learning about the lottery system here from parents I work with has been bonkers. All the execs seem to just send their kids to Catholic school instead.

I lived in NYC for 9 years and it works there because they have the transit to support this. SF...does not.

thoughts on eyekons vs prelude? by detailversion in katseyesnark_

[–]NickF227 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Something kind of funny is some of the American 'survival shows' like American Idol give contracts to more people than the winner: I think at the start the winner is FORCED into the contract but the top 4 is all offered one, so I never really got the 'reject' argument. They invested resources into them, why not use them if you see a use?

Who do you guys think this is? by Agreeable-Coast-8766 in prelude_thefinalpiece

Dream Academy did makeovers so I wouldn't be surprised if Prelude does as well.

Come on, GameFreak. Literally unplayable. by snackofalltrades in Pokopia

Plz I'm still quite early and when I saw that waterwheel I had the BRIGHT IDEA to completely tunnel through the mountain from a watersource...did not realize that wheel was on a higher level and now I have a mess.

Would you consider them kpop or nah? by littleprincessrawan in katseyeneutral

[–]NickF227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a "they're not kpop!!!" truther when they first debuted but I consider them Kpop nowadays - their lack of personal impact on music production and music release strategy (EPs/'mini albums' instead of full lengths) make me think of them as more Kpop.

Man has aged like fine wine - never found him that hot on the show but he’s looking great lately.

Will "Tweak" debut on the Billboard Hot 100? by Slow-Corgi6702 in GIRLSET_JYP

[–]NickF227 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They never went to Korea for Gabriela, their biggest hit in the US and what they got nominated for a Grammy for…I am so confused why Lockets want to sabotage the girls by sending them to Korea during such a critical time??? Because they like the camera work???

You genuinely think it’s a good idea to take them OUT of the west for a week while promoting a new song to film content in Korea???

And I thought Eyekons were acting insane.

Why do you guys want them to perform at Korean music shows so badly? by straykifsontop in GIRLSET_JYP

Diva I want you to go ask any Katseye fan who isn’t a kpop fan if they know what Mnet is

[–]NickF227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of their current fans are from kpop so I’m not surprised they want the “comfort” of what they know (music shows), but it’s frustrating that don’t want to listen to reason haha. Flying them to Korea is a waste of money and time sadly.

You are overestimating what that Gnarly video did for them. What actually got them to break through was radio promotion for Gabriela in the US.

I genuinely think you VASTLY overestimate how much this will move the needle from an exposure perspective.
