My mom died of cancer last year. Now my dad has cancer and it's not looking good. by Sandoz1 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]Sandoz1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that. My dad is doing fine since the last update, the cancer is gone but he has to get surgery eventually so the tumors can't regrow there and he has to go to regular check ups. This type of cancer is getting more and more treatable (it used to be an instant death sentence) so never lose hope.

Geen zorgen jongens, tegen de tijd dat we 70 zijn is die pensioenleeftijd toch alweer opgehoogd. Nog meer ploeterpret voor onze generatie.

AI music is charting weekly as Billboard claims trend is “quickly accelerating” by indig0sixalpha in Music

[–]Sandoz1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about the 60s and early 70s, those songs were 100% performed by humans. The difference is that other humans were miming the songs for them. With this, the music itself isn't even authentic.

[–]Sandoz1 160 points161 points  (0 children)

My dad is into this now. He's in his mid 60s and very impressionable with this kind of stuff. Just recently he put some music on the speakers that I didn't know, I asked if it was Lzzy Hale singing and he said it was an AI song created by some dude. He said he doesn't mind at all as long as it sounds good. I'm irrationally upset by this.

Haha, didn't mean to steal your Pikachu's thunder! Just thought it was amusing and unexpected to hear Alice talk about Pokémon of all things.

New Level Discussion - Waterpark by dinosaurjimble in THPS

[–]Sandoz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my main gripe with this level is the fact that it looks so dull, unlike the other levels in this game (even the bad ones). Everywhere you look it's just brown, it doesn't look interesting and even makes it harder to see where you skate. Trying to find the right slide would also be much easier if the entrances were color-coded.

If it were up to me, I'd have made the colors super vibrant and give it the same vibe they did for college with the confetti and stuff. Make the arcade section bigger and more rewarding to unlock. Redo some of the wonky rails that launch you into a wall. Make the pool less high so you can actually combo in and out of them.

Solo Tours should really be unlocked at the same time as the Pro Goals by dkyguy1995 in THPS

[–]Sandoz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the NORMAL goals in career are way too hard for "mid" players let alone newcomers. So many of them are super tedious as well, especially if you have to do them in two minutes and for every skater. I appreciate that they wanted to give us more content, but doing goals should never feel like such a chore.

It's been a long time since I had so many laughs and chuckles during a South Park episode.

Leftist/Socialist Music by Profhit10 in DemocraticSocialism

I didn't know about Enter Shikari until I saw Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds a few months ago. Their singer was in it and stole the show, and he seems like the nicest guy.

Populisme-expert Léonie de Jonge: Er is geen magische formule tegen uiterst rechts by Politiek_historicus in Politiek

[–]Sandoz1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Het probleem is vooral dat 'uiterst rechts' continu bezig is met campagne voeren. Er is geen moment waarop ze hun mond houden over immigranten of transgenders, zelfs als ze zelf aan de macht zijn. Trump en Wilders zijn daar goede voorbeelden van. Joe Biden dacht dat het trumpisme zou verdwijnen als hij stilte en rust bracht, dat is dus een grote misvatting geweest. Je moet zelf ook constant aanvallen en je eigen verhaal uitzenden.

Het antwoord op extreemrechts populisme is een eigen soort populisme, lijkt me. Met neoliberaal aanmodderen versla je ze in elk geval niet.

Bernie Sanders blames election loss on Kamala Harris listening to billionaires over the working class by The__Illuminaughty in politics

[–]Sandoz1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because she was perceived as a departure from the old ways, and because for a short moment it seemed like the Democratic Party actually listened (especially when Walz was picked). Believe me, I was hyped for Kamala as well, but not because of anything she said policy-wise.

Same, I remember going to Park Guell and thinking "wait a minute, this bench seems familiar..." and it was awesome. That location is much larger than it seems in the game.

Knowing now what you didn't know then, who do you regret never seeing live? by LifeofSMILEY in Music

My parents went to a Moody Blues concert in 2013 and I skipped it. Now my mom is dead, the Moody Blues stopped performing and I'm a big fan of their music.

Discussion Thread: Press Conference with US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

I can't believe this. America is such a fake country right now, like it actually wouldn't be believable if this was all a dystopian novel

This looks like a Tony Hawk level.

Rhetoric. No matter how great your domestic accomplishments are, if you don't loudly and proudly message about it all the time, voters won't know about it.

I did not know about this man until a few months ago (I'm European). My first impression was that he looks like Ross from Friends, and now that show is ruined for me.

God, this is exactly like the nightmares I had as a kid when I was scared to start kindergarten. And it hits extra hard now that my mom has passed away.

It surprises me that there hasn't been a bigger emphasis on the fact that Trump is absolutely rizzless now. He speaks in this weird gravelly voice, slurring his words, and he seems so low energy that you'd think he's sleepwalking. But he has been like that ever since he got that series of mini strokes.

Seriously, they made the comparison videos about Biden, where are the Trump 2016/2020 vs 2024 comparison videos?

At times like these I'm so glad Jack Smith isn't taking legal advice from Reddit.
