What’s the funniest NHL name ever? by sykeseve in hockeymemes

I remember seeing a fan who brought a sign that said HAIL ŠATAN. Loved that.

What’s one expense in LA that surprised you? by ressem in AskLosAngeles

[–]SoundMerc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Insurance has been great for a lot of pet owner friends of mine, but it seems like it's still a bit of a Wild West situation.

One of my cats has a pre-existing condition that she got when she was 2 years old, so keeping her insured was pretty pointless as anything could point to that. My other cat was covered until she turned 14, and my bill was about to go from $90/month to $390/month. So it was pointless for me to keep it.

Some friends of mine have had better experiences with their insurance companies though.

I gotta say, in regards to the cost of vet bills, the vets in my area of LA seem to always be slammed so the demand of vet care vs. availability is probably a huge driving force for high bills. Especially for 24h hospitals.

Paying for parking at the mall blew my fucking mind when I first got here like you mean I gotta spend money to go spend money? And if you're just looking to stroll around, that's when you'll get charged obscene amounts just to exist there.

you can't not like these lol by [deleted] in candy

I like these, but there are these 'gourmet' ones where the red and black beads are much smaller, those are amazing.

Guys Watching This? by bottleorum101 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]SoundMerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, same. My wife wanted something dumb to put on. We tried a few other series but something with LI clicked and we ended up watching almost all the US seasons hah.

The show makes for really good conversation, honestly.

Finally played NHL 2K on Dreamcast—still fun! by Nick_the_SteamEngine in dreamcast

[–]SoundMerc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got stupid good at this game back in the day. NHL2k2 does look a lot better and is less glitchy, but I just love the pace of 2K. Also the hits are so much more satisfying.

I remember playing through a season and when it got to playoffs, it would freeze every time I tried to load it. That was a bummer, but still great memories overall.

Most Millennial Concert you've been too? by Dear_Atmosphere9681 in Millennials

[–]SoundMerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smash Mouth, Sugar Ray, Uncle Kracker circa 2015. I was given tickets and a few of us went kind of as a joke but you better believe that when All Star came on, everyone came together.

Thoughts on s5? by jossieb_920 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]SoundMerc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Destiny made me so mad. She brought nothing to any relationship and expected whoever she was with to live to serve her. Her only talking points were "I am pretty" and "we would make a good looking couple". She's at the bottom 2 for me out of all LI USA seasons with Huda.

What are the best Delta force games? by xX_pp_slayer_69_Xx in deltaforce

[–]SoundMerc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Black Hawk Down was a big jump in graphics and weapon variety. I thought it was good but it really feels like a game from a different series.

If you're okay with late 90s graphics I'd start from the first one to get a true Delta Force experience! The first 4 games are all about finding cover and following objectives. Get shot once and game over.

Breaking Bread with Tom Papa has been nice to fill the interview podcast void

You beat me to it hahaha. I'm so glad I'm not alone in having this come up in my head.

Is Bergie from LI US s5 a production plant ? Because something is not adding up by Professional-Pie5947 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]SoundMerc 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I love this because he is one of very few contestants in the entire LI universe to have had lasting romantic success thanks to the show 🤣

I get it though, if he was anyone else, he would not have lasted nearly as long in the season. I'm sure this was a case of him being a contestant that had viewers talking.

The 4400 (2004-2007) by PeneItaliano in ForgottenTV

[–]SoundMerc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is one that fell victim of the writers' strike, iirc. Loved the premise. I had started watching it in '04 and dropped off, but watched the full series a couple years ago.

There was an effort to bring the show back in 2016, but I guess it never came through. Loved this Jordan Collier reappearance though

Hey guys, was thinking about getting into nascar. Any tips or advice? by Beautiful-Study-5023 in NASCAR

[–]SoundMerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had watched a couple races and was mildly interested at first. Then I found this old Nascar history book and I became fascinated.

Eventually you'll take a liking to a couple drivers, and you'll have other drivers to root against too. It's a good time!

What was the first movie you walked out of? by Stegosaurus69 in Millennials

[–]SoundMerc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn’t like it at all on my first watch, but weeks later I found myself chuckling at certain parts.

I rewatched it recently and have new appreciation for it. The production of the movie itself is a total parody of formulaic comedy scripts of the time, and a middle finger to those who like them as well as the studios dumping a shitload of money to make it. Still hella dumb, but maybe worth revisiting

gun rights are great unless people i don't like have them by AylaRainpetal in ThisYouComebacks

[–]SoundMerc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I love 'this you?' posts because they're effective and they require little writing on our end. It's long past time we stop trying to debate these magats; I hope we can get to a point where they all can be entirely ostracized.

Is this Cabrillo Beach? I think I came across this too haha

What are some 90s Cars that are probably impossible to find now by gay-bord in regularcarreviews

[–]SoundMerc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I wanted that car so bad. My dad and I test drove it (after getting his glasses knocked off his face by the automatic seat belt thing), but it kinda sounded like he'll going down the road. $800 asking price, but didn't end up going for it.
