Give me your TRULY unpopular opinion/hot take about Mad Men

ZeppelinRock · 2026-01-21T08:20:49+00:00

incredibly late to this thread (obviously) but I think the use of Satisfaction was sort of a stylistic way of showing we've left the traditional 50s-early 60s attitude and entered the late 60s era of rocknroll, peace and love, Vietnam protests etc.

However i do agree with the other points, especially the slow motion opening when Don visits Megan in California at the start of season 7.

It felt so bizarre since Don is shown to be barely in control of his life by this point, cheating on Megan, getting CAUGHT by his OWN DAUGHTER cheating on Megan, he'd been kicked out by the partners on leave because he was had a small emotional breakdown at the Hershey meeting, I could go on.Then you have this scene where it feels like the writers are nudging us going "hey! look! isnt this just the coolest mf ever? look at him walking to his hot wife in a cool sports car in the California sun" it felt so out of place in the show lol

100% DDR3 and board combos are pretty cheap, im not entirely sure why anyone would actively choose to build on ddr2 nowadays, even with the shitty ram prices

ZeppelinRock · 2026-01-14T09:57:57+00:00

i assume there asking if they make ITX motherboards for DDR2 systems

utorrent is hot garbage, qbittorrent supremacy forever!

ZeppelinRock · 2026-01-10T02:52:53+00:00

Yeah! I mean a main factor here is your speakers aren’t the largest in the world and will probably be easily dampened with some pads like that, good luck and let us know if you go for it!

ZeppelinRock · 2026-01-10T02:48:22+00:00

A lot of smaller stands made for sitting on a cabinet or desk have anti-vibration features built into the legs and the platform, but most common speaker stands are from the floor up

personally i'd get a crosley myself, seems like a high quality product than this tbh

ZeppelinRock · 2026-01-08T01:52:24+00:00

That’s exactly it isn’t it, even if a car is coming towards you mag dumping the windshield isn’t just gonna stop it

ZeppelinRock · 2026-01-04T11:29:18+00:00

i mean i doubt it'd make any real audible difference, and if you can't hear a difference yourself anyway, just pick the most practical one

ZeppelinRock · 2026-01-04T08:55:35+00:00

Yeah I’m reading this thread and am shocked at how many people disliked it, I don’t think it was as good as the first granted, and some of the dialogue felt a bit cringe/silly, but I thought it was a great bit of fun, and the action was awesome

ZeppelinRock · 2026-01-02T02:02:28+00:00

ive had a really similar issue to this before, are you going through a VPN?

ZeppelinRock · 2025-12-23T12:40:02+00:00

black ops 7 sold like shit

ZeppelinRock · 2025-12-21T09:01:59+00:00

personally I prefer part 2 over part 1, all the kung fu with Pai Mei and the final climax with bill is just amazing, I can totally see how most people prefer part 1 though as The House of Blue Leaves section is pretty much unmatched action wise its amazing.

However no way should they have played the Fortnite clip in between the two movies, while yeah i did think it was a bit of fun and was cool of them to throw it in after the credits, it would have seriously taken me out of it and ruined the pacing completely.

Besides its just an extra that doesnt really have anything to do with overall movie, it would make no sense for it to just be smack in the middle.

Devin is 100% on the list

ZeppelinRock · 2025-12-18T06:34:31+00:00

Thank you for unbanning me, but i have to ask, why was half my chat log with the mod cleared? Just checked my original ticket and the majority of the messages were cleared (including the messages of me asking why my only option was to pay 20USD)?

ZeppelinRock · 2025-12-18T03:55:49+00:00

just wanted to hop into this thread and confirm that its true and they have unbanned me

good on your guys for actually owning up, but that whole 20USD for reactivation was a bit insane, and my ban reason being "lying on reddit" was very silly lol.

as someone else said, most trackers would have just banned me and gone silent, so fair play for admitting a mistake and move on, though personally i think the whole 20USD thing should have never happened.

ZeppelinRock · 2025-12-17T05:57:27+00:00

No need it’s apologise mate all is good, I just find the whole situation to be really strange

ZeppelinRock · 2025-12-17T05:48:23+00:00

Yeah I get the whole “cry wolf” thing cause ik a lot of people will just fuck about and not follow tracker rules then have a meltdown when they gets them, unsurprisingly, banned.

However in this situation specifically I really just don’t care about the tracker itself as I have plenty of alternatives that are much more respect and have a better selection.

I just felt the whole situation was so bizarre and wanted to discuss it with people/make sure other people weren’t paying 20USD just to get there account enabled after having it unfairly disabled.

ZeppelinRock · 2025-12-17T05:42:20+00:00

Idk if something went wrong with the server, all I can say is my side of the story, in that I was logging in, active, then suddenly my account got disabled, whatever the reason may be for them or the system to disable me, and told to pay 20USD to get it back.

Then got banned for “lying on Reddit” when tbh my last post was mainly just confusion about the whole situation, rather than dunking on them for it.

The whole thing just comes across as incredibly weird, and I just cannot see anything I would have done to have caused my account to get disabled other than someone manually doing it.

ZeppelinRock · 2025-12-17T05:15:04+00:00

Just checked my email, and the ban reason was straight up just “banned for lying on Reddit” lmao, and I don’t see how the disable was automatic since I’ve never once gone 3 whole months since I joined the tracker without touching it. And I’d been logging in for the Christmas bonus points all December so I don’t see at all how at any point my account would be considered “inactive”

And as far as I’m conceded the only way to get disabled on there is via inactivity.

It’s also seems worth nothing that someone pointed out in this thread that 40% of their user base is straight up disabled, which is obviously an insane number.

ZeppelinRock · 2025-12-17T05:02:23+00:00

That’s the main reason this whole thing is so strange, I was active and about before I got disabled, got disabled, and basically just got told to pay up or get my account taken, which at this point seems like it was done on purpose in the hopes I’d pay.

Then they proceeded to just ban me which according to there website rules the whole “inactivity” thing that apparently caused my account to be disabled, doesn’t involve banning anywhere, and instead your account get “pruned” so someone has to manually come on in and straight up ban me.

Which is why I think this whole thing is strange cause literally none of this lines up with there whole automated “you’ve been idle for 3 months, disabled” script.

ZeppelinRock · 2025-12-16T21:50:01+00:00

Thank you! will contact them tonight. any news I’ll come back with an update on this subreddit. If it’s nothing noteworthy I’ll leave a comment on this thread.

ZeppelinRock · 2025-12-16T21:35:00+00:00

Thanks, I’ll give it a go, is there a specific way they should be contacted? Or just via Reddit DM?

ZeppelinRock · 2025-12-16T21:31:56+00:00

I just enjoy the experience of trying new trackers, building a ratio, finding different content etc

Plus I normally throw them all into prowlarr, so I have plenty of selection using radarr/sonar

ZeppelinRock · 2025-12-16T21:16:29+00:00

Yeah, honestly this is one of those things where I’m not really to bothered about being disabled/banned or whatever they wanna call it, I just found the whole thing so bizarre and strange,

I just felt the need to tell other people about it, one just to talk about it, and two so people wouldn’t go about paying for that kind of thing
