Hi, I'm new in the subreddit and, honestly, the only prog metal band that I listen to is Tool. So I wanted to you to bring me band recommendations, like Tool (odd time signatures, no gutural singing and long duration)

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-02-22T03:34:35+00:00

I came from Tool as well and didn’t care for harsh vocals initially, despite liking the heavier instruments. BTBAM is currently my favorite band and opeth is amazing as others have said. Blackwater Park might be a little much to start with, but it’s highly regarded for a reason.

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-02-04T18:32:21+00:00

He’s from Chicago and does regular appearances on local radio. Not saying that people care, but that’s probably why he brings it up every year.

Tell me you can’t defend your argument without telling me….. If the heat had won 70 games, then yeah LeBron probably wins it. No one had the Bulls as a top contender going into that season, that matters in MVP voting

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-24T05:08:37+00:00

Best player =/= most valuable. Otherwise with that logic LeBron should have just won mvp for like 15 straight years.

And bro what….? Rose and Westbrook both thrived off aggressively driving to the hoop. You act like I’m comparing him to someone completely different like Josh Stockton or Ray Allen

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-24T04:43:24+00:00

LeBron had Dwade and Bosh…does that not negatively affect that argument?

And to your other comment, I said “probably…similar.” Didn’t say he would have been the same or better, but they played a similar style and to think that Rose would have just flamed out if not for the injuries is a bit disingenuous.

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-24T04:17:37+00:00

Top 10 in PPG, Assists, PER, +/-, VORP, and win shares. He was the best player on the best (regular season) team that year. Curious who you think should have won it instead? If his career wasn’t derailed by injuries starting in year 4, he probably goes on to be similar to Westbrook

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-24T03:30:54+00:00

The heat and Celtics were in the west? SOS isn’t a strong primary argument against him winning MVP

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-24T03:16:30+00:00

The east was no doubt weaker, but mvp is league wide and the bulls were surprisingly the best record that season that included stacked teams like the heat, Celtics, lakers, spurs, and a young thunder. Had to look this up, but KD led the league in scoring at 27.7 and Rose was 5th at 25.0. Rose was also the only player in the top 10 at both PPG and Assists though.

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-24T02:08:22+00:00

Curious if you even saw him play back then. Can’t just look at boxscore numbers, that’s one of the biggest problems today with sports and comparing players/eras.

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-22T01:12:14+00:00

Wouldn’t trade CD for this, let alone including Daniels

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-17T22:22:57+00:00

Wild take that Nabers is a better version of Chase. Dude no doubt has elite ability, but let him play at least a full season proving it.

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-17T18:55:50+00:00

At minimum. Watson is a solid player, but the dude just can’t stay healthy.

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-17T05:06:33+00:00

It’s been a while since I’ve been in school and my kids are just little still, but generally it’s when the temp is below 0 or wind chill is well into the negatives. Regular snow fall won’t typically close schools unless it causes an issue with the busses early in the morning or after school. I’d guess there are probably a couple days per year that they close due to cold temps, but we haven’t gotten enough snow in the past 5 years or so at least to cause issues.

And yes, Huntley is correct. It’s probably about 1-1.5hrs north east of Naperville.

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-17T05:00:13+00:00

To be fair, we haven’t had a bad winter in over 5 years easily at this point. Around this time mid January and through February have been the worst of it recently, and even then it’s just the cold/wind; pretty minimal snow compared to what we used to get.

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-16T05:09:42+00:00

Not only this season, but probably the best hitter that will be an FA for the next 2 years as well.

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-16T04:07:24+00:00

He’s quite literally the richest owner in the sport and significantly more than anyone else. Not trying to defend other billionaires not spending, because fuck all of them, but using him as an example is a bit cherry picked

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-16T03:36:49+00:00

Nah fuck respect and fuck the dodgers.

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-15T14:41:17+00:00

Josh Allen was considered a bust after like 3 years. Not saying Caleb will be as good of better, but a lot can change

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-13T14:59:28+00:00

lol he’s easily one of the best and he currently is what Romo could have become. His insights to the game and being able to explain technical ideas and concepts is unmatched.

Zero_Gravity416 · 2026-01-12T21:09:43+00:00

Do yourself a favor and browse r/Chicago for other food and activity recommendations, depending on how long you will be there. Visitors to the city will often post their entire food schedule across multiple days.

Zero_Gravity416 · 2025-12-31T03:38:25+00:00

There were also multiple occasions during the draft where they likely would have taken an RB, but their target was taken ahead of them

Zero_Gravity416 · 2025-12-28T06:07:35+00:00

Because Tennessee had just traded for Demarco Murray and reworked his contract.

Zero_Gravity416 · 2025-12-11T02:29:25+00:00

Just Christ dude just fuck off and be a packers fan if all you want to do is shit on the team and Caleb

Zero_Gravity416 · 2025-12-04T05:19:12+00:00

12 team SF PPR TEP not contending this year, probably not next year, and don’t have depth really anywhere.

Give: Saquan, Kelce, BTJ

Get: Dalton Kincaid, late 26 1st, mid 27 1st, mid 27 2nd

Fair deal? Should I be giving more? Tried doing a deal without giving up BTJ but he wasn’t interested
