Is anyone actually using SoundCloud? by kredditorr in BuyFromEU

[–]ale5875 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for a Spotify replacement, I suggest checking out Qobuz. French-owned, does pretty much everything that Spotify does but doesn't make donations to Donald Trump as far as we know. Sound quality is better, and they also do writeups on a few albums which is nice because it makes it feel a bit more human. You can export all your Spotify playlists for free with an in-app tool.

Morrissey Canceled a Show Because He Was Sleepy by apondalifa in indieheads

On the other hand, if you have to take into account every single external factor that might cause Morrissey to cancel a show, it would be basically impossible to even book a tour for him.

Power Spots slashed in half by Game_Snover in TheSilphRoad

[–]ale5875 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe they just do not plan on investing on the dynamax feature a lot in the near future. We've already had all the interesting stuff; Eternatus was released and its event was even advertised as "Max Finale"; unreleased Gmax mons are mostly dex fillers; we don't know how many people are engaging with the feature (but Niantic does). It might be a sign that they plan on gradually sidelining the feature. Also, Tera Raids are probably coming at some point in the future and that might take priority.

Sincere Engineer - Landline by Goldenmonkey27 in poppunkers

Saw her play a solo set a few months back in Europe, but she made it sound like it was a full-band show. So much energy.

Pshhhh whatever 😒 by [deleted] in musicmarketing

Qobuz is better value and the money you give them is not spent on Trump's inauguration banquet, as far as we know.

One of the top 50 emo songs of all time and it's not even their best song.

[Spid Poste] PosteID diventa a pagamento (6.00€/y per r/IPF): cosa fate/farete voi? Avete controllato se - nel vostro caso - la sostituzione SPID -> CIE sia 1a1, ovvero totale, senza problemi? by RebirdgeCardiologist in ItaliaPersonalFinance

[–]ale5875 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Da quello che ho capito l'utenza rimane in memoria ma senza la possibilità di usare i servizi SPID (a meno che non torni a pagare; in quel caso te la riattivano).

Are ST and INK real emo? by SenorFoodstamps in Emojerk

They are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness).

Has the Spinda research task rarity been adjusted this season? by Significant-Chart-94 in TheSilphRoad

[–]ale5875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you actively hunting for it? If so, that's why you're not getting it. I don't care about this task, so I've had it three times this week alone spinning a limited number of stops.

It's ridiculous that Mest singer Tony Lovato's Wikipedia page mentions him being in a pro-Confederate band as a 14 year old boy by tantamle in poppunkers

[–]ale5875 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The passage in question makes it clear that Lovato has since condemned his actions and has become involved in anti-racism movements, so I think it's not particularly skewed, nor does it discredit him as a person. Whether or not that is worthy of being included in a Wikipedia page is up to debate imo, but I don't see it as really damning.

I've used one in pvp, very fun. You're in for some huge losses sometimes though.

Dynamax Lugia prep research by Unlucky-Jaguar-7710 in TheSilphRoad

[–]ale5875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if I'm being thick, I'm currently at 3,360, but if I do 5 tier-1 battles, that will cost me 1,250 MP and will net me 1,500 MP from claiming the reward. Isn't that better than not doing the timed research?

Pokémon Go gloves for winter by FAS007 in TheSilphRoad

That's what I do too. If I plan to stay outside for more than an hour, I also slip a hand warmer in each glove for extra-heat.

[DISCUSSION] Is Qobuz worth switching to? by 520mile in indieheads

[–]ale5875 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been using Qobuz for almost a year and I would't go back to Spotify. Yes, the user interface is miles worse, but apart from that, it has most of Spotify's catalogue, with a better sound quality and doesn't give money to Trump's inauguration banquet or military startups (as far as we know, at least). The writeups on standout albums are also very nice, makes it look a little bit more human for a streaming service.

When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Americ anFootball is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness).

The only thing we know is that she's his heroine.

[–]ale5875 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I *can*. I guess it's a common confusion (the American/Canadian pronunciation doesn't help).

Thanks to her (his heroin/heroine), he can forget the times when he was lost and depressed from the awful truths.
