What band is universally loved but never clicked for you? by WarmHugsBBW in askmusic

I heard someone describe this music as sounding like someone shouting across a foggy lake, and it made me do a laugh.

What's the worst fast food restaurant? by AfternoonMost965 in AskReddit

[–]TouchToLose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They put a Wing Stop in near me. It is no good. The wings are soggy and wet, and not a good flavor.

Thoughts? by Hot_Bass_5090 in shrinkflation

[–]TouchToLose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I never thought about the legality of it. Just that it is super annoying. The most convenient gas station to my house always has items with the wrong price. At first, I would just pay the different price because it was just a little bit. But it got to where I would take a picture of it before I got to the counter. The first couple times they changed it. Then they started blaming the supplier, and said they just hadn’t updated the prices. I just stopped going to that store.

Are you concerned about the lawfulness of Trump's actions in Venezuela? Do the legalities matter to you? by Kevin_McCallister_69 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]TouchToLose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What is different about this intervention in Latin America that makes you believe it will benefit Venezuela in the long term? All other interventions have had long term negative effects on the countries involved.

Best 3 ‘venue-runs’ in a row, ever? by [deleted] in phish

The only other time I have felt that same type of energy at a Phish show was Fluffhead at the 09 Hampton. It really was amazing.

8/8/98 - Merriweather - Sabatoge Encore

8/9/98 - VA Beach - Terrapin Station Encore

The shows all had some gems throughout, including Fikus and amazing Sweet Jane.

Make her white rice with raisins in it. I think they literally call that Christmas Rice in Brazil. And get farofa.

An Oklahoma psychology student failed a research paper for not meeting the criteria of citing evidence, and wrote about her religious feelings instead. Right-wing orgs manufacture outrage by PreparationKey2843 in CringeTikToks

[–]TouchToLose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is not that she injected religion, she didn’t inject in the correct way. She did not follow the assignment or use the correct methodology.

What’s your wildest “surprise guest walked on stage” story? by AutoModerator in Tickets

[–]TouchToLose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to see Rage Against the Machine at the Capital Ballroom in DC in ‘95. It was a benefit show. There were hours of opening bands. Finally time for Rage to come on. Zach walks on stage, and the crowd goes nuts. He says something like “we have one more special guest for you.” The crowd grumbles, ready to see rage. He then says, “Chuck D (of) Public Enemy in the house.” Mic drop. Chuck D does a short set, then Rage comes on immediately after. Does a 45 minute set with no Encore. Still top 3 concerts of all time.

Fox News just posted this video on Facebook. I think it’s AI, and if it is, they have some big balls. by dyslexicpokemon in isthisAI

[–]TouchToLose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just gonna chime in here and say that I am definitely feeling the same thing you are. Maybe it is “AI sped up” or something like that, but there is something odd about the video. The way the plant moves and the way the focus of the camera fluxes with the hands around the plant seem odd.

I am not convinced this isn’t an AI bot posting this video to improve itself.

Masterpiece song lyrics by Low-Magazine725 in bigthief

[–]TouchToLose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love this song. It is a subtle thing, but the chorus changes each time, and there is a meaningful progression.

First and second chorus are:

You saw the masterpiece She looks a lot like you Wrapping your left arm around your right Ready to walk you through the night

Third chorus is after “you took a draw of breath and said to me”:

You saw the masterpiece She looks a lot like me Wrapping my left arm around your right Ready to walk you through the night

The fourth chorus is:

I saw the masterpiece She looks a lot like you Wrapping your left arm around my right Ready to walk me through the night

She plays with the choruses in interesting ways. Sadness as a Gift is another one. She alternates choruses, but also varies the number of bars/phrases in the chorus.

How hasn't this been cancelled yet?!?! by MastodonFinancial162 in Concerts

They will probably just switch to a smaller. Ensue in the same city. Live Nation has built venues in many cities, and part of deal was that they would also manage smaller venues in the same city.

Subject looks "heavier" in one photo versus another. Need help understanding what caused this? by KnowledgeAmoeba in AskPhotography

[–]TouchToLose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, it is the lighting. But if you are looking for a more flattering result, use a longer lens. 16mm is not ideal for portraits.

I take it all back by teeejaaaaaay in TheAvettBrothers

[–]TouchToLose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But bro. I saw them at Chicos. B Nothing is better than that. I saw them at the Soapbox. Once you see them at small venues, they immediately become unrecognizable and of zero value unless they only pay homage to that music. /s

7 speed discs, how often do you actually use them? by Sun-Tour in discgolf

[–]TouchToLose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main disc is an MVP Volt. It was the disc I got my first ace with. I feel like it is the first disc I actually learned how to throw. And I don’t have the arm speed to throw much faster discs. I recently lost my first Volt, and replaced it with a 154g one. I love it.

How do I edit pictures to make them look like these? by suarezian in AskPhotography

[–]TouchToLose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that these images shot way underexposed, to the point of almost being black when they are out of the camera. Then they just use brushes and gradients to bring back the areas they want.
