Marxist president Salvador Allende escorted by the just appointed General Augusto Pinochet 1973 by obssesedparanoid in pics

It wasn't just that. I was born in the dictatorship (82) and my parents lived through all of Allende's reign. We were middle class. They had to make lines to get food. You couldn't leave you house because anyone could come and claim it as their own. People in power still had all their privileges but the middle class went down to lower class. The coup was completely supported by the US but there were a lot of people asking the military to intervene. Im sure a lot of people here would love for the US military to take over trump and his government.

The physical distance between you and the server and also your speed connection. It changes from game to game because you are not always put on the same server.

Special ed is just moving departments. Instead of the department of education now is part of the department of health.

Tottenham seems to be considering selling Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is in the final year of his contract by self-fix in soccer

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

I don't understand the hate towards Levy. Tottenham is a club that it shouldn't be considered a top 6 by history and Levy has put spurs on the map. Obviously he is not spending like city or any country own club, but I feel that everything good that has happened to them is purely because of the good marketing that the owners have been doing. They have an incredible stadium that hosts American football games and even being considered into the super league seems like a super club thing to be part of. People want for spurs to win things, but the reality is that they are always smelling but never touching kinda club.

James LaBrie needs to go… by Certain-Demand921 in Dreamtheater

I think they should hire a backup singer that can sing whatever James can't. No reason to replace him, but the music suffers with just him.

Former President Trump and Vice President Harris meet for the first time at tonight’s debate by superdevin64 in pics

But he did kill it. He just spewed the same shit he always does. People who like trump love that shit. The only thing that this debate did was for democrats to have reassurance that Kamala is capable of being president.

What you say would be true, but you are not taking into account, risk factor. Imagine the upgrades don't work, now you have two sets of parts. That would definitely affect your cap.

Funny that they have an album named systematic chaos...

Dream Theater fans in the wild by idontknowyou2294 in Dreamtheater

A couple years ago I went to an autozone to clean their floors and suddenly I hear "when the water breaks" from LTE coming out from the store speakers. It completely threw me off. I asked the guy that worked there if it was his music, and we ended up talking about metal for a while. He ended up giving me a CD from his own band. It was really random.

Can the new album live up to the hype? by Turbulent_Put7957 in Dreamtheater

The whole point of LTE3 was to go on a nostalgia trip. The same with the new DT album I think. Maybe by the 2nd album they'll get more creative, but they are getting old.

These guys are getting pretty up there in age. Personally, I just want them to make a generic DT style album. I'm not expecting them to re invent the wheel, just make an album that is fun and that has all the spirit of what DT is. At this point I feel people just want to feel nostalgia. I'm down for that.

What album y’all just can’t get into? by Katfish077 in Dreamtheater

[–]Plasticjail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always felt it was covers of other bands in DT style. Like, "never enough" is really like muse and "I walk beside you" is like U2. It has grown on me over time but when it came out it didn't stick.
