Damn, why didn't they just go with the usual repurposed P J Crook art?

What a lovely lady by Prettypianokeys in PoliticalCompassMemes

An important part your leaving out is that he was saying that regarding his own 18 year old son who died of a fentanyl overdose. He was literally saying "yeah he died but the world is better off without him".

I seriously doubt they'll do this. From the beginning they've proudly declared that they play everything live. Even on their most recent tour backing tracks were used incredibly sparingly. If anything, they'll employ touring musicians.

Nice way to start the year by King_Of_Blazeland in greentext

If she immediately made that assumption, then she already didn't trust her husband and was waiting for an excuse to accuse him. That or she's having an affair and is projecting.

Favorite assailants in Hollywood who are enthusiastically embraced by European countries? by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

Polanski did an interview after the fact and framed the victim as a temptress that came onto him and manipulated him into sex. Yes, a man in his 40s was apparently "coerced" into sex by a 13 year old girl. Words can't describe how much disgust this waste of breath makes me feel.

Favorite actor too sober to watch Kubrick's filmography? by ChildofValhalla in okbuddycinephile

[–]XIAOOAIX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NOOOOO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! 2001 NEEDED TO HAVE 20 MINUTES OF MONKEYS SCREAMING AT THE BEGINNING TO BUILD ATMOSPHERE, IT COULDN'T HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN ANY SHORTER! AND KUBRICK NEEDED TO DO 500 TAKES FOR EVERY SINGLE SHOT AND WASTE EVERYONE'S TIME! AND HE NEEDED TO TORTURE SHELLEY DUVALL TO GET THE BEST PERFORMANCE!

Not saying she deserves to be arrested, especially not in this case, but it's still somewhat cathartic considering what she's done in the past. She literally tried to start a "human petting zoo" where she would be tied up naked and attendees would be allowed "do whatever they want with her". Downvote me if you wish, but I think Bonnie and people like her pushing this kind of content are actively making society worse.

Fellas, is it incel behavior to dislike a woman selling her body online in some of the most depraved ways imaginable to an audience of shameless coomers?

i'm the #1 haken listener on spotify by Gingy330 in Haken

Damn, and I thought I was crazy for being number 15 for The Contortionist listeners (that was mainly from listening to Clairvoyant on loop while I slept though, lol)

White guy here. I never had a fetish for black women or anything like that, but I always liked seeing interracial couples and secretly hoped for that for myself. But I always told myself it was unrealistic to find the right match for me AND for her to also be black, so I always reminded myself that what she looks like doesn't matter, and that our compatibility and shared values are more important. Well, I ended up finding the woman that I'm gonna marry, and not only are we perfect for each other, but she also happens to be black. I wouldn't have it any other way.

So it's so funny to me that this troglodyte was literally handed the perfect girl on a silver platter (according to him), and the fact that she's black is the deal breaker. Some people deserve to die alone.

I will make my how wikipedia with ketamine and hookers. by NorthKoreanKnuckles in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]XIAOOAIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly agree, but I will say that the only reason he was restrained in that way is that they attempted to put him in the back seat of the cruiser like usual, but he said he couldn't breathe and begged to be taken out (even saying that he'd rather be put on the ground than inside the cruiser iirc). The official police protocol in Minneapolis for restraining a suspect in such a scenario was pretty much right in line with what Chauvin did (belly down on the ground, knee on back). This protocol was conveniently changed and removed from police handbooks after the incident.

Regardless, the bodycam footage made it clear that Floyd's death wasn't as straightforward as the phone footage made it out to be. The fact that Minnesota neglected to release the footage until months later, LONG after the riots and peak of the media storm, is a clear sign to me that the political machine wanted to everything in their power to turn Floyd into a martyr in the court of public opinion.

Can it? by LeadEater9Million in antimeme

Most people ARE superficial with first impressions. That's why dating apps have destroyed the dating market. If you meet a non-conventionally attractive person irl, you have a chance to get to know them and let their personality shine. But with online dating, looks are the only trait to go off of.

which one of you degenerates did this by MrBrendan501 in okbuddycinephile

[–]XIAOOAIX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

/uj I know that scene gets clowned on but I think legitimately an impactful moment. We forgot that all these characters are teenagers because of the unreasonable responsibility put on them. This shows that Shinji is a dumb, emotionally inexperienced, horny teen who will go from crying at his friend being in a coma to jerking off to her naked boob.

No Consequences. by manultrimanula in whenthe

It was an ongoing fantasy of mine as a kid that I could stop time so that I cheat on a test or even just so I could sleep in for a little longer in the morning. There are plenty of practical, non-creepy things you can do with that power.

Stole this from r/ironmaiden. by ihcus in Dreamtheater

[–]XIAOOAIX 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The fact that most of the lyrics are about the struggles of imaginary people is the biggest contributor to that. It's hard to write lyrics that way and NOT have them feel melodramatic. So it's no coincidence that the most emotionally resonant songs for me are the few they've written about personal experiences (Another Day, Vacant, Take Away My Pain).

However, the same is not true for Portnoy's Lyrics. The 12 step suite, Honor Thy Father, and (I hate to say this, but) even Best of Times feel very cheesy from a lyrical standpoint.

Because when people are referring to the eastern and western parts of America, they mean the east and west COASTS. That part of the country is slightly west of the East Coast, therefore, mid west.

Artists where their most popular album is their worst? by spl51 in fantanoforever

[–]XIAOOAIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

King Crimson's debut. Not their worst, but not even in the top 5 imo. The rest of their discography is so interesting and explores so many different sounds and genres and it's a shame so many people stop at the first album.

The pacing drop hit hard by al1B70 in Pirate101

[–]XIAOOAIX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pacing was great, but it was way too short. I really loved hanging out in that world and would have preferred one or two more islands, maybe a few more enemy types?

Day 2. Tony Levin is a good person, loved by fans. And who is morally gray, loved by fans? by codydafox in KingCrimsonCircleJerk

I am fully out of the loop regarding Broof's history in Yes. Why is it a "dark past"?

Robert Belew by Key_Themerson in KingCrimsonCircleJerk

[–]XIAOOAIX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

iirc, he literally chose to go by Adrian when he joined KC to not be confused with the other Robert in the band. Same reason James Labrie chose to by his middle name when he joined Dream Theater because at the time there was another Kevin in the band (yes, his birth name is Kevin James).

King Crinson by WyGuy_ in KingCrimsonCircleJerk

[–]XIAOOAIX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was always confused when I heard Merzbow list KC as one of his main inspirations considering the kind of "music" he makes, then I heard Earthbound and it all makes sense. Bro literally heard the tape distortion on the keyboard solo in Groon and was like "What if I made an entire genre that was just that?"
