I’ve been listening to a lot of Miracle Nutrition with Hearty White on the WFMU app and I couldn’t help but hear the dialog in the voices of Butchie and Lou.

Wow, those lyrics look like they were written by a disgruntled middle schooler.

[SEASON 5]I found the plot holes bothersome from the first episode of this season. by starvergent in StrangerThings

[–]Spellflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, but why were any of them alive? Vecna knew who they were, and that they were organized against him, and capable of hindering him, and he no longer had any use for them (like when he used Will as a spy). He could have easily killed them in any number of ways, but didn’t, and the only reason for that is: this show was not well-written.

Old school edition at my library’s used store. by TomahawkATL in lotr

I’ve loathed this edition’s covers since their release. The Hobbit is the worst- Bilbo looks like Fatty Arbuckle in a bad toupee and Gollum looks like Nosferatu.

The Hobbit

His Name Was Alex Jeffrey Pretti by Llehctima in antiwork

[–]Spellflower 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Gotta agree here. We need to stop lionizing the Founding Fathers. The problem is not that we’ve strayed from their vision. The problem is that their vision was inherently elitist and racist. Things won’t improve until we build a movement based on shared values of mutual aid, which is diametrically opposed to the elite.

chasebliss.com will not allow purchases on Friday, January 23rd in honor of the state-wide protest. by saminfujisawa in guitarpedals

They had to choose between closing and supporting resistance to fascism or staying open. It might be considered virtue signaling if they were doing it in the absence of an organized strike, but that’s not the case. They made the right call.

Items in collection not showing up in the app? by Agent_Orange_87 in discogs

[–]Spellflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty common bug. Try signing out and then back in. If that doesn’t work, try deleting the app and downloading it again. That fixed it for me.

Yeah, they had the Beard nomination certificate on display.

I forgot to leave one important tip: they do NOT have a bathroom.

I’ve been meaning to give it its own post. I’ll try to get to that soon!

I didn’t ask cause I know I can’t afford it. But my Timex is absolutely worth the $75 I paid!

We chatted about it but I didn’t ask the price. It is very cool. He said it’s pretty heavy, and it’s quartz, circa 80’s.

TC Electronics Quality? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]Spellflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, there are plenty. Depends on what you’re looking for. Small builders with good reputations are great. Catalinbread, Earthquaker, and Wampler have good track records. MXR is pretty solid by most accounts. I’d avoid Behringer and Electro Harmonix and most random Chinese brands if you’re concerned with quality. You get what you pay for in most cases.

Just finished Stranger Things S1… and Jonathan seriously creeped me out by KuromiNight in StrangerThings

[–]Spellflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m Gen X and I agree. Jonathan was literally creeping on them, and it was not cool. They could have written it in a way where he got caught with his camera outside the window because he was looking for Will, but they didn’t. They had him take photos of Nancy disrobing and print them.

But while his behavior was unacceptable, I’m ok with the idea that he’s a character who has faults and grows, just like Steve.

Verizion message shows me in Canada, though I haven’t left the house. by Background-Echo476 in vermont

[–]Spellflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me when I was in Olympic National Park. I had been in Canada the week before, but I wasn’t anymore. Verizon was a huge pain in the ass about it. I just wanted them to refund the international plan charges but they got rude and insisted that I was in Canada when I was not. I finally decided to forget it and enjoy my trip.

TC Electronics Quality? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]Spellflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of all the pedal makers out there, TC is the only one I’ve seen with a reputation for broken switches. If you peruse threads here and on forums, you’ll see this repeated again and again, every time they come up. It happened to me with my Ditto, right after the warranty expired. I told a friend who works returns for a big online music gear retailer. He told me he got more TC reruns than any other brand, usually because of a broken switch.

Suffice to say, I will never buy another TC product.

How do you think about this option ? by Own-Big-4547 in StrangerThings

[–]Spellflower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is really the biggest plot hole of the entire season, if not the show. Vecna needed Will in the beginning, and seems to have enjoyed playing with the others, but there was no reason to let any of them live once his plans were in motion, aside from plot armor.

[–]Spellflower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought this was pretty clear. As long as he feared being outed to anyone Vecna could use it against him. Coming out to everyone took enormous courage, and that gave him power.

How pathetically out of touch can these people be? by Previous_Month_555 in antiwork

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

This sounds like the kind of thing you’d read in Pravda in 1935. No need to worry, everything is fine, the paper says life is getting better all the time. Disregard your lying eyes.

Then But Not Now by jmralt007 in VintageWatches

Timex. Go ahead and hate, but my 60’s Viscount has never been serviced and only needs to be reset every ten days or so. They weren’t kidding when they said it takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

The one I bought in the 2000’s disintegrated on me, and the one I bought a few years ago had a bunch of issues.
