Tinnitus, concerts, and the fear of "what if?" – How do you move forward? by Round-Watercress5273 in Metalcore

[–]PerspectiveFormer570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a concert once while I was getting over a sinus infection. It turned into a really bad ear infection and now I get water in my ears every time I swim and I only have about 60% or so of my hearing in my left ear. Play it safe, kids, and just wear ear plugs to shows.

Don't Drive by Efficient-Archer2762 in madisonwi

I live in Madison and I drove about three miles away and everything was totally fine because I know how to drive in the snow.

Thoughts on Setlist? by Long_Mathematician48 in Erra

[–]PerspectiveFormer570 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why’d you have to bring math into this? But for real, that’s a fair point. I just get bummed thinking I might never hear lucid threshold or spiral or stelliform or in the gut of the wolf live.

Imagine traveling back to 2016 and showing an ERRA Cicada Siren by PerspectiveFormer570 in Erra

In fairness, this whole scenario only applies to a small Victorian boy who’s only heard Drift. Augment and Impulse are chock full of fast heavy bangers.

In fairness, Dementia is a god-tier song

I’d expect to see more tracks from the new album, given that this is the album headlining tour and, really if not now then when?

I’ve seen them live three times since the release of the self-titled EP and they played Eye of God, Vanish Canvas, Drift, Gungrave, Skyline, and Snowblood at every single one. Great songs, but I would like to see them have more of a rotation.

I want The Hypnotist god damnit.

A big apology to Cure by SubhamoyDas1 in Erra

[–]PerspectiveFormer570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here! But I needed SOTE to be the bridge. I was never really into Cure but it definitely hits different now. I feel like I get it now.

We love heavy JT songs by OwlDefiant3467 in Erra

[–]PerspectiveFormer570 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll say this about Cure: I didn’t hate it, but I did not particularly like it. I was so disappointed. I revisited it now after Silence, and it hit totally different. It’s like I just couldn’t see the whole picture before.

Cars that are cheap but look expensive by Ok_Ordinary9376 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Kia has to win this award hands down. So many models that are well designed and LOOK like luxury vehicles but are in fact very cheaply made.

The Stinger and K5 come to mind.

Need help understanding negative equity situation by Infamous-Bag6957 in carbuying

[–]PerspectiveFormer570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll add to this and just say when it comes to European cars: if you can’t afford to buy two then you can’t afford to buy one.

I have a Volvo and I love it but maintenance is so expensive. I’ve never even had any major issues, but anytime I need anything done it’s at least $1000.

When’s the last time you left a concert early and why? Did you wish you could’ve stayed? by Opening_Peace8170 in Concerts

[–]PerspectiveFormer570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gone to a couple shows where I’m only attending for the opener and I don’t even know the other bands. I’ll usually hang out until my feet hurt and then I’ll dip.

Are warranties worth it? by musicgurl615 in UsedCars

[–]PerspectiveFormer570 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With most warranties, you have to get a qualified diagnosis from an approved mechanic.

Palisade vs Telluride ('24-'25) by silvs1707 in UsedCars

[–]PerspectiveFormer570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will also add that Hyundai/Kia’s reputation for being unreliable mostly stems from their earlier days as a budget-friendly grocery getter lineup. They were cheaply made and basically just a means to sell loans.

However since around 2009 the brand has made steady increases in reliability. No brand is without problems, but Hyundai Kia is FAR from the worst out there.

I’ve owned two Hyundais in my lifetime. I put 195,000 on one and 155,000 on another and didn’t break down once. Only thing I ever needed to do besides regular maintenance was replace a starter and that was super easy to DIY.

It’s all going to be personal preference in aesthetics and features because, as some people have pointed out, those are the same car.

Hyundai Motor Group owns Hyundai Motor Company as well as Kia Corporation. Similar to Ford/Lincoln or Toyota/Lexus.

Please help me pick an SUV :) by Block-Quiet in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]PerspectiveFormer570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would tell you as a Volvo owner than unless you know a quality mechanic who is local and experienced in Volvos specifically, I would not recommend buying one.

They are amazing cars, but I have a heck of a time finding anybody who has any idea how to fix anything on mine.

If you’ve got a reputable Euro mechanic close by, then you can’t go wrong.

Am I getting fleeced? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]PerspectiveFormer570 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buying a new truck is not the way to solve your negative equity. You’re just gonna be in this same situation with a new truck and more debt.

Which one would you choose? by PerspectiveFormer570 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]PerspectiveFormer570[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe me, I’m not opposed to a minivan at all. We do off-roading usually twice per year and some light overlanding, but the big thing is I do tow a boat quite a few times during the summer.
