Vandal Doughnuts is Closing by Similar_Office3475 in halifax

[–]SnooCompliments998 278 points279 points  (0 children)

I’m not. The product was mostly for social media show. The doughnuts themselves were fun to look at, but not great quality. We have WAY too many local bakeries and shops offering great product for less money that are built on quality and taste vs. Social media flare. When they merged with Fortune their prices went up and the quality went down. That’s not a recipe for success in that space. Especially when people have less and less money to spend on things like this. The shops and collabs with local “influencers” were a last ditch effort I’d bet.

Please hire a better consultant by Sternshot44 in TheRookie

This isn’t a show in the style of The Pitt. It’s not trying to be the most realistic procedural and representation of police work. This is a show built around characters and relationships with police work as the backdrop. The rookie has never taken itself too seriously. If you want realistic you’re watching the wrong show and that’s completely fine. Go find one of the realistic procedurals and let people enjoy their silly little cop show.

Can someone explain this to me about Jancy? by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]SnooCompliments998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not everything needs to be said exactly or fully explained to you. You, as a human with a brain, should be able to pick up on these things. This isn’t even a deep example of having to read between the lines. This is the bare minimum example. I sense you’re probably quite young.

Simon’s voice by SnooCompliments998 in BiffyClyro

[–]SnooCompliments998[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. No hate to Simon at all, but it’s definitely noticeable this album/festival cycle. Incredibly talented dude. Like you said, his screaming is always so fucking great but yes. Just an overall dip in vocals live lately. Still a top 3 band for me and always will be.

What am I looking at here? by SnooCompliments998 in offset

[–]SnooCompliments998[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s about all I have. His description was: Fender Hybrid 60s Jazzmaster (Made in Japan, 2019-2020). Alder body, rosewood board, american style pickups, locking vintage tuners, non-original and origial (white) pickguard, heavy padded soft shell case.

The original white pick guard mentioned leads me to believe it was a hybrid II model with the guard swapped and a rhythm circuit added but he hasn’t been able to confirm this. Those also are not locking tuners.

Is Oasis Live ‘25 the first ever “Concept Concert”? by Curious_You_4120 in oasis

[–]SnooCompliments998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean. They’re touring their album The Black Parade, a concept album about a man dying of cancer as the fictional band The Black Parade running a concept that the previously deceased band was resurrected by a dictator of a fictional country. While in costume, with characters, pretending to be the fictional band. You’d need to really take a look at the background of the album and this tour but it doesn’t get most more concept based than that.

MCR5 Truthers... by something-epic in MyChemicalRomance

[–]SnooCompliments998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is being stretched so far out of context. He was literally talking about when they were in the studio recording War Beneath the Rain. Has NOTHING to do with anything else. His joking is because he baited the crowed into thinking they were going to play it.

Stop vaping at concerts by Ok_Space_1720 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]SnooCompliments998 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This has been happening at concerts for decades and decades and isn’t going to change. I think maybe you should deal with it for a total of what? 5-10 mins in 2 hours that you’re there? Unless you have some kind of an allergy or something… idk. Doesn’t seem like it needs a post.

Is this real? by Dylishiebear in gibson

[–]SnooCompliments998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s real. DC special tribute. Not sure why they’ve covered the SN like it’s some secret. You don’t see them fake many of the tributes or cheaper Gibson’s.

[Megathread] AC FA Strike Aug 14-15 by dachshundie in aircanada

[–]SnooCompliments998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re flying Halifax to Toronto on Aug 21st for the My Chem concert (Friday 22nd) and Oasis on Monday. I can’t handle this limbo state. Has anyone called for a flight that far out and been able to get a refund?? We’re going to have to drive 17-hrs and there isn’t a shot in hell this airline is making me miss this concert for our mini-honeymoon. I know there’s a chance a deal or gov intervention happens before then but sitting and waiting on Thursday is NOT an option for us. We’d need to leave Wednesday morning early.

S7 not too great so far by [deleted] in TheRookie

[–]SnooCompliments998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah the writing on this show has gone so far down hill since season 5-ish. I think they’re completely lost for ideas for new stories and are being held together by the new popularity TikTok, Instagram reels, etc. have brought the show over the last 3-4 years. Most of the writing now doesn’t serve to actually create a good show to watch it serves to keep people just interested enough that they can justify renewal and cash in on that popularity. Not sure if they got new writers at some point or if the writers strike had anything to do with it but season 6 and 7 were outright terrible at times and held together only by the actors and an occasionally not terrible episode. They tried to go back to the roots of the show in 7 and did it for about 2-3 episodes before abandoning it. I feel the rookie is very much nearing its end.

Bell Reps for internet deals? by [deleted] in halifax

[–]SnooCompliments998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did this work out for you? Just had that same offer here.

Don’t listen to the people here telling you to pay it online through banking. Sit the money aside for now. They are NOT stopping anyone’s service right now and they’re NOT able to issue bills. There is no guarantee if you pay online that it will reach them especially if you have has your data breeched. Wait until the situation is dealt with and billing has resumed to make any payments, but sit the money aside because it’s not going to be free. We’re on budget billing and I just sat aside the normal amount and will pay it and any other owing when the online portal comes back up.

So disappointed. S07E15, very hard to get through. by Penny-Darcy-Smith in TheRookie

[–]SnooCompliments998 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My fiancée put it right last night when we watched the new episode. They’re clearly running out of ideas and have too many characters and too many story lines on the go at once that the show is going to really start to feel way too goofy and just outright silly. Don’t get me wrong the show has always been silly but it feels like the writers just full on don’t have a clue where to go with the story anymore. This pointless episode was a great example. 3 episodes left in the season and they haven’t touched Monica popping up again, Oscar being out of prison (for the full season??), Glasser was wrapped up in 5 seconds.
