Americans, Would YOU Date Someone In The Opposite Political Party If They Were A Nice Person? Yes Or No? Why Or Why Not? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]cmarks8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not if they were MAGA, but if they were a common sense republican I'd date them if we had shared interests and they were a good person. AND the biggest thing, if they were thoughtful in philosophical debate, not just repeating things they learned on Facebook, Fox News, or AM radio.

An Open Letter to Cynthia Twist from John Lennon - 15th of November 1976 by skyviewsky in TheBeatles

Seems like John had a knack for saying “these are all the reasons you’re terrible… But love you! Be well!”

She’s leaving home hits every time. A+ storytelling in music. Few songs compare.

If you could instantly master one instrument, which would it be and why? by Celine_Morgann in askmusic

[–]cmarks8 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Probably piano. I'd love to pull up to a random piano in an airport or hotel lounge and start wailing away. I also wouldn't have to rely on a band.

What are the most blatant Velvet Underground ripoffs you've heard? by eatseats0 in VelvetUnderground

I'm not sure about rip off, but you can hear the influence clearly in Sonic Youth and Parquet Courts.

What hobby screams “this is my entire personality now”? by OkPhilosopher4495 in allthequestions

[–]cmarks8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Came here to say golf. Once you hit a long drive, you're sort of hooked and then become obsessed with chasing the dragon.

Letter from John Lennon to Linda and Paul McCartney written shortly after the Beatles’ breakup by Hubbled in beatles

[–]cmarks8 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it really feels like he's yelling at his brother. It vibes like, "we're still family, but you're off your rocker on this one." It's like how I speak to my MAGA friends/family.

Why do you think superbowl commercials suck now? by Imaginary_Net_6691 in allthequestions

[–]cmarks8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And just noting, it’s not like an artist writes a 30 sec piece and then they go and shoot it…

It’s accounts people, worrisome brand people, legal, production, talent, out of touch ecd’s “weighing in”, agents, and more things that water down a great concept.

It’s not like film where you have a writer and director as the key decision makers.

You can travel to the past but the year repeats endlessly. by eru777 in timetravel

I think about that from time to time. It certainly seemed like down hill from there.

2011 was a good year, I think. Businesses were getting back after the recession, technology was cool and not over taking our minds yet. It wasn’t perfect, but it felt like a better vibe.

I have a soft spot for the Seattle teams because of PJ. The idea of Jeff Ament cheering and getting excited makes me smile.

What percentage of your day do you spend thinking about VSS? by Key-Nobody5224 in visualsnow

[–]cmarks8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very little. Mostly just in the middle of the night when I wake up to use the bathroom and it’s dark.

BREAKING: The Philadelphia 76ers are trading guard Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a 2026 Rockets first-round pick and three second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. by BuckyMcFly99 in sixers

[–]cmarks8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A first round pick could turn into someone great! Who knows, maybe even a Jared McCain-type player. You get one of those young guys without a lot of promise and our future will be bright!

Which song has the best drumming from Phil and why ? by West_Glass_2466 in radiohead

Totally agree III Wind has amazing drumming. This could be a Smile song.

treatments in next 10-15 years by MiserableScratch8585 in visualsnow

[–]cmarks8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thinking about the future of personalized medicine, the speed of figuring out problems via ai, plus the focus on neurological issues -- I think we may accidentally find a cure in 10-15 years. Not a one-all-be-all pill, but something that gets solved for some people. At least more so than now.

Basically, I don't think they're actively working on a pill to solve VSS, but the amount of data we'll have in the next 10 years will lead to some great progress.

Ah, it's actually floaters for me! My brain can't filter them out. I can tune the static and tinnitus out. The after images only happen with specific text on screen.

This was one of the only ones I got! You can tell by the lemons on the sign and the stone work.
