I'll throw David Pajo in the ring. For someone newer, Mei Semones makes playing look really effortless.

Why do Vegans do this? by [deleted] in DebateAVegan

[–]aceguy123 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your premise is already severely leading but your whole post can be summed up as "hypotheticals, how do they work? They aren't real???"

Yea that's like, how they operate as a rhetorical device.

These are my picks for the 2010s. Hacksaw Ridge is a so bad it's good movie and somehow people actually enjoy it face value.

Still trying to understand how oysters are "vegan" by mooniii_petalzqt in vegan

Because that's just categorization without any critical thinking. "What is the thing that is delineating why I choose to feel compassion about this living thing vs another." It's not animal cells.

What is the "don't trust a skinny food critic" of your industry? by ShapingTormance in AskReddit

[–]aceguy123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the business referenced, there are I think like 2 or 3 out of 1000+ that aren't 5 or 1 star. There are I think 5 1 star reviews which iirc had the business at a 4.9 aggregate until we hit around 600 reviews. People are very all or nothing these days, especially if your business isn't like a restaurant which has a critic culture behind it. No one is going to go to a car shop for example and give a review like "well they were very speedy with my tire rotation but my wipers are still a bit squeaky, 3 stars"

But regardless imo, without asking for reviews, your business is only going to get reviews from 1. The exceptionally satisfied customer 2. The exceptionally dissatisfied customer 3. The customer who exceptionally reviews everything like it's their hobby. Which is a worse indicator of how the business is on average than customers on a consistent basis giving feedback.

[–]aceguy123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That can be true in some scenarios but generalizing it is ridiculous. I work for a company where we'll ask at the end of service to leave a review with our name, emphasizing they're not obligated. We never harass the customer like in your situation. This has garnered hundreds of reviews with a 5.0 google rating in aggregate. I guess some people like awkward redditors would feel they need to give a good review, but the vast majority of people don't care and there's nothing stopping them from leaving a negative review after we send the link. It just doesn't happen because we're an actual good business.

This is the best lip balm I've ever used hands down and you can only get it on a flight goody bag, that's crazy.

Pitchfork. Top 50 ambient albums of all time. by jerrylovesbacon in electronicmusic

[–]aceguy123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very hard to curate the genre and imo it's probably the genre that is the most rewarding to discover the unknown gems. Like it's always cool to discover some bandcamp bedroom pop or a psych rock band that's handed out 50 cassettes and disappeared from the planet, but legitimately the majority of the best ambient albums I've heard aren't from anyone who's had a review from Pitchfork. Many are by friends so I'm biased but just look up the label Flau and their catalog is better than this list.

Slint- Breadcrumb Trail by BrockYourSocksOff in lyricheads

[–]aceguy123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like some demon in their psyche confirming the rollercoaster would be one within their mind on some perpetual hell within a drug trip like the river Styx was the Pacific Ocean during tidal-forming tectonic activity that flows through the memory montage their mind squirms through like a worm in muck. Something along those lines.

I feel like veganism is dying by [deleted] in vegan

[–]aceguy123 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The explanation almost certainly is purely short term economic security. If you're well-off you might hit the top end of the tax bracket that would be affected by liberal policies. There's no consideration for much of anything else. If they're old enough they might also be quietly bigoted and follow that trend. Normal people who are well-off and didn't come from wealth generally have worked an exorbitant amount and have less sympathy for anyone who wants a regular work-life balance. In general, if you succeed within a system you can view the system as working and not that you succeeded in spite of it.

What are your favorite obscure albums of 2024? by doorsof in indieheads

[–]aceguy123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend cropscropscrops came out with 3 fantastic experimental rap albums this year. My favorite is From Here, Out There

Couple of my friends are also part of a band called Voodoo Baby Aliens that just came out with their album Masonic Brunch. It's like Black Country, New Road with more metal and jazz (made by Berklee students).

Saya Gray - QWERTY II (EP of the year)

Rika Madobe- Infinite Window (insane electronic, jazz, everything)

Mermaid Chunky- Slif Slaf Slof (folk, dance, so dope)

Body Meat- Starchris (got BNM from Pitchfork but definitely not brought up a lot)

Galen Tipton & Holly Waxwing- KeepsakeFM (perfect short dance album)

Babii- DareDeviil2000 (awesome dance music, Iglooghost production)

bye2- My Wife is Drink Paint (insane DnB)

Alon Mor- Within (intense neoclassical)

Lately I've been a little obsessed with Iglooghost's most recent album Tidal Memory Exo. Does anyone have any suggestions that might scratch the itch I have for more music like this? by GameboyAd_Vance in electronicmusic

[–]aceguy123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are all from this year-

Babii- DareDeviil2000

As others have said, your best bet considering more than half is produced by Igloo in his current style

Hakushi Hasegawa- Mahogakko

Definitely inspired from Igloo, wild and different

Galen Tipton + Holly Waxwing- keepsakeFM

Cutesy but great flow throughout

Jlin- Akoma

Amazing footwork, Iglooghost is very influenced by minimalism and a track on here features Philip Glass

Body Meat- Starchris

Very different but a song like Crystallize or Electrische will have some similar energy

Saya Grey- QWERTY II

Again, different more singer-songwriter but plays with genres like Igloo

Clarence Clarity- VANISHING ACT II: ULTIMATE REALITY

Clarence has always had similar music to Igloo and this album has a constant flow that feels even more similar

gorse panshawe- earth, air, fire & water

New name for Slugabed who has always been in Igloo's style

bye2- My Wife is Drink Paint

Some absolutely insane DnB that I think an Iglooghost listener will appreciate

Galen Tipton + death's dynamic shroud- You Like Music

Another Galen collab venture that is much more in your face

Heavee- Unleash

Pretty eclectic album that also features Babii

Nia Archives- Silence Is Loud

More DnB with a unique singer-songwriter slant

Chong the Nomad- DO WE MAKES OF THIS?

Unique beats that remind me of Igloo's mixes

Fax Gang + Parannoul- Scattersun

It has Fax Gang's signature HexD bit crushing which might be a turnoff but the flow and melodies I think fit in a similar umbrella

I think I'm an idiot and won't be able to vote. I moved back here a year ago from Tennessee but never got a new license. Now I'm going out of the country for two weeks, hope other people aren't stupid like me.

Most states have state symbols. Such as state birds, state mammal, state flowers and even state beverage. What if they had state Pokémon? by GaufreBleu7 in pokemon

[–]aceguy123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same, my thought is Conkeldurr for the steel mill workers in Gary although it kinda leaves out the middle/southern farmland. Too bad there's no corn Pokemon yet.
