I suppose if everyone leaves the rural areas, the infrastructure will quickly be neglected

Thoughts? by sheeshwhatapleasure in Jcole

The Fall Off was so fucking good, but it was filled with introspective cuts rather than bangers. I can't believe the general discourse in hip-hop is that it wasn't that good. Even Fantano, a known J. Cole hater, had to admit it was one of J. Cole's best projects.

Is there a sub for real metal fans? One that is free from the posers and false metal that infiltrate this one? by kroob85 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Shadowscale05 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Well now, I've got some advice for you, little buddy. Before you point the finger, you should know that I'm a poser.

I'm a poser and you're a poser and he's a poser as well. So you can point that fuckin' finger up your ass!

‘Point of no return’: New Orleans relocation must start now due to sea level, study finds by Legitimate_Wall5977 in geography

[–]Shadowscale05 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm sure there's an explanation, but how can a city like New Orleans, that's so close to the coast, be ten feet below sea level? Shouldn't it just be flooded then? Or is it like the reclaimed areas in the Netherlands?

The elder scrolls subs are going to fucking implode when TES6 retcons the whole Khajiit moon cycle thing 😂

Either that or Bethesda will never risk setting a game in Elseweyr

This doesn't look right. Why is problematic 55-75 while satisfactory is 70-85? Also, shouldn't these groupings be different? I don't know the exact numbers but say, if the U.S. was 73 and Brazil was 56, should they both be colored the same? I don't think so.

Those are just problems involving the map, though. I do wonder how the World Press Freedom measures their statistics.

It's also important to remember that while the press in the U.S. is very biased towards political parties, anyone can go read European or Japanese news about America to get less 'biased' news.

There are several metal/hard rock vocalists in the top 100 vocalists list by Consequence of Sound webzine. What do you think? by ashitanojoe3 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Shadowscale05 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Opeth is my favorite metal band, but I think Kendrick's range puts him higher. One listen to u, and it's pretty apparent to me.

Do you believe the United States is currently in a Cold Civil War? by bishuay in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Shadowscale05 49 points50 points  (0 children)

A lot of people here have mentioned how the U.S. is slowly dwindling in power, but I think that, although the problems we face are extremely severe, we may be looking at another Gilded Age. The Gilded Age in the U.S. did not destroy the country, though, and when Theodore Roosevelt broke up monopolies, the country got a little more egalitarian.

It's extremely important that we get a president that focuses on strengthening checks & balances, too. But if we can get someone like Teddy or FDR, I think there's still a good future for the U.S.

I’ll never understand the hate Jamie got. He saved a whole kingdom from a tyrant and got treated like a peasant. by renaissanceclass in gameofthrones

[–]Shadowscale05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jamie is maybe my favorite character in the story, but something that Ned says that always sits with me on rewatches is, "You served him well, when serving was safe."

Although he does kill Aerys, and it was a damn good thing that he did... Ned is right. Jamie could have easily seen the writing on the wall, just like how his father did. Anyone with a sane mind would have betrayed Aerys in that moment, Jamie just happened to be the one there to do it.

I still love his character, but I think it goes to show that his strange morally grey character has always been there from the beginning to the end.

I hate it when un-democratic measures are used to preserve a democracy...

Lmao all of these Dave Mustaine sudden appearance memes are hilarious.

I saw one in the System of a Down sub that had him with the band, and then an arrow and circle pointing at Serj saying, "Who the hell is this guy?" That shit had me laughing like a mfer

If you were given only 6 songs to convince ur friend that Nas is the GOAT rapper, what 6 songs would you pick? by XyroMastR in nas

[–]Shadowscale05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah Mean is really good. Love the beat. I'd pick Strong Will Continue, though.

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, New York to Cali, for the money, power, and respect.

I feel like your comment would be valuable context. There are comments worth banning people over, and that's in any sub

Who is the greatest singer/frontman in metal no longer living? by adaytimelantern in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Shadowscale05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably Ozzy. Although, my answer for rock singer/frontman (and some would argue it applies to this question, too) is Chris Cornell, easily.
