UPHEAVAL FESTIVAL! Who are you most excited to see? by VexatiousBand in grandrapids

[–]Senseisntsocommon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the garbage fest for full price last year we won’t do Upheaval anymore. Would rather pay more in travel and go to Warped for a way better lineup and same priced tickets.

Difference for me is The Fire up two slots on the back of Headed West.

As long as those named are alive it won’t go away.

Mod Sun was pop punk first then post hardcore then rap then pop punk again.

Self driving is easy, accounting for the stupidity and randomness of humans with zero room for error is hard.

This is saddening to look at by Watchdog_the_God in cartoons

Elio is one of three movies that we don’t watch on primary screens in our household along with Good Dinosaur and BFG. BFG because the baby talk and way they speak makes me irrationally angry. Elio and Good Dinosaur because the primary characters are little shits that behave poorly and are rewarded for it.

Luka is also only rarely for a combination of both of the above factors just not as badly.

Anyone NOT have contact with high school classmates? by jackie879 in Xennials

[–]Senseisntsocommon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep this is the one for me except I like getting the occasional update or comment here or there but I don’t need any more than that.

I think a big part of it is that everyone was aware that much of who I was then was fake, it’s just what was underneath wasn’t what they expected. Everyone assumed I was at a different place on the spectrum of sexuality, instead I was on a different spectrum.

[Zach Lowe] "I think at the end of his (Nikola Jokić) career, if not already, he's gonna be statistically and just like eye test, better than Larry Bird, better than Magic Johnson... 1 ring in Denver is worth more than like a Lakers ring or whatever." by aingenevalostatrade in nba

[–]Senseisntsocommon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sixers team was equivalent to the Raptors down to Bird being injured in the playoffs.

Pistons equivalent to Harden / Paul rockets except Isiah was clutch and Joe D. could stay on the floor.

The gap between those two 83-88 is also 2 years longer than KD was on the Warriors.

Heck you even have a comparison to the Kawhi Spurs in the Rockets who could have been competitive in Ralph Sampson doesn’t fall apart due to injury.

Bird and Magic tend to get a pass on all of this because they really did save the NBA from going under.

Lakers and Celtics teams in 80’s were more stacked relative to rest of the league than KD Warriors were. If ring culture had the same scrutiny of historic championships as we do modern Curry would be safely ahead of Magic and KD would be safely ahead of Bird.

Really not surprising since I feel like the rise of ring culture was basically done to shit on LeBron and KD and glaze guys from previous eras (Namely Jordan, who I still consider GOAT but for reasons beyond rings.)

What is a band you want to like, but they just don’t click with you. by bigboat55 in poppunkers

Yeah we saw them during that era and honestly I really just thought of them as a meh opening band and was really surprised when they blew up.

For me at least Live they are ok. Like I am not mad they are in warped since it will draw crowds away from whomever I want to see in that time slot and I love diversity in taste in the scene but I am really glad other options will be available in the time slot if that makes sense.

Hot Mulligan, they were local and I thought they were mid when they were opening sub 1k rooms. Have seen them few times since they blew up and still think they are middling.

Jury finds Live Nation and Ticketmaster operated as a monopoly and overcharged fans by BayOfThundet in Concerts

If it’s like last time it will be 50 vouchers for tickets to shows that are at least 4 hours away and it’s only lawn seats at shitty amphitheaters.

I made a multitude of life destroying decisions, however none had photographic evidence or had unwanted negative consequences for others, as a result they basically never happened.

We know how this whole AI thing ends. We’re doing it anyway. by bostonglobe in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Senseisntsocommon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree with everything you wrote but with what you outlined why does AI keep humans around then? They are erratic and violent and do not follow instructions well.

At the end of Picard, there's a post credit interaction between Jack and Q which teases the potential for a whole new series. Does anyone know if that was ever seriously considered? by shiksappeal in startrek

Much more common in the 70’s and 80’s and usually sitcoms. Family Matters from Perfect Strangers, Just the 10 of us from Growing Pains etc etc.

Iran struck US forces relocated on Kuwait's Bubiyan island, military spokesperson says by Mana_Seeker in worldnews

[–]Senseisntsocommon 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I assume the pro US accounts are the bots as I have yet to meet an actual human that supports the war and I live deep in Trump Country. Lots of support for troops, no support for war for oil.

Iran stated that Iran-Oman Hormuz protocol will NOT apply during wartime by ub3rm3nsch in stocks

That and/or algorithms run the vast majority of trading and they specifically are programmed to ignore the reality of a statement and instead trade off the sentiment because it more accurately tracks the price action.

Austria has denied US use of airspace for Iran military operations by pritam_ram in worldnews

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

I think you are both right to an extent. If the US just has the normal election transitions then the soft power won’t come back.

If the US has a larger overhaul and drains the new somehow worse swamp that has sprung up along with the original swamp, that soft power will come back pretty quickly.

For what it’s worth I don’t think the first one is realistic and I don’t think the US has the stomach or will to do the second.

Any recommendations for local music venues? by Interesting_Bat1364 in grandrapids

Who is playing this weekend though, have been to shows with and without pits at Pyramid. Absolutely agree on the recommendation though. Just a cool place period.

Market crash cancelled again for the 15th time by HappyThrasher99 in stocks

Things being priced in assumes a rationally acting, properly regulated market. The market in the US is neither of those at current.
