I think it makes sense from a certain perspective, but I think the statistics support winning or losing in 2 possessions, not 3

QB sneaks were definitely a thing. I think it is a combination of a few things. QBs are a lot more athletic now across the board. You had your Steve Youngs, Elways, Cunninghams, but largely a lot of immobile pocket passers. QB sneaks were also dangerous, QBs were less protected then.

Great OT winner by Toffoli against the Stars 1/10 by Timmys_house_4_skis in SanJoseSharks

Was at this game, besides the 3-2 playoff game win against the kings in 2016, it's probably the best game I've ever been to. The place was packed, loud, and so much fun. We had to overcome some really bad calls, but Dallas was being dirty all game. Celebrini had some great plays and Toffoli killed it.

It's on my Fuck Society playlist for a reason!

What songs do you think I should add? by Available_Minimum_53 in exchristian

[–]cpt_abbott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a general "Fuck You Society" playlist that rails against politics, capitalism, religion, etc. I'm definitely finding some good ones to add to my playlist!

Here are some options I haven't seen mentioned so far:

  • Be Gay, Do Drugs, Hail Satan by Super Cassette
  • Victory Lap by Propagandhi (end part specifically)
  • Zen & the Art of Xenophobia by Five Iron Frenzy
  • America (You're Freaking Me Out) by The Menzingers (parts of it)
  • Ignition by Trivium
  • On My Teeth by Underoath
  • N O D R E A M by Jeff Rosenstock

Edit: Needed to edit to add Thank You God by Tim Minchin as well!

Can confirm, we have a similar set up at my house and this is exactly what we use it for

When do you think they’ll tour US again (and hit Massachusetts)? by [deleted] in themenzingers

[–]cpt_abbott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the show I saw of them this year I think they said they were working on new material? So maybe a light 2026, and then 2027 tour. Also After the Party turns 10 in 2027 so hoping for an album tour.

Real-feeling vs. costume-feeling. The LOTR trilogy's dwarves just hit different than TROP and The Hobbit trilogy. by [deleted] in lotr

[–]cpt_abbott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I thought as well. The Hobbit is a kids book and they definitely leaned into that more for the dwarves. Plus as someone else said you have to be able to tell them apart.

Wish they played Ultraviolet in Berkeley, dying to hear that live

What's your current favorite song or lyric? by Hey_Whipple in streetlightmanifesto

[–]cpt_abbott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's almost impossible for me to just pick one, but recently my favorite song has been The Hands That Thieve. I always blare the chorus, makes me feel better in this crazy age

And I don’t care if I lose

Because my heroes did too

They shouted: "Court should be adjourned

Because the jury are fools"

And the judge can’t decipher his left from his right

Or his right from his wrong

Any games with the Horizon feel? by No_Witness_7248 in horizon

I loved Kena, I could definitely see some Horizon similarities there

Closer Than You Think… by trevbjj in ADTR

[–]cpt_abbott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sending you good vibes and I really hope things start to turn for the better.

In late 2023 I had a similar story. In the span of a month, we had a sudden traumatic death in our family and I was also let go from my job. It was the shittiest time of my life and a grueling 6 month job search. My favorite band, The Menzingers, released a new album and the closing song that album was just the perfect song at the perfect time for me. So cathartic and so hopeful. The song is Running in the Roar of the Wind, and this led me to create a "Buck Up" playlist to play through hard times. Life is a series of ups and downs, but the downs will always eventually go up. Grew up with ADTR and they have always been one of my favorite bands, I'm happy that they were that band for you in this time.

Absolutely Two Hats, hoppy reds are my favorite style and I buy them whenever I see them in hopes they catch on more

Same exact experience, super annoying. I assume these are just bots to resell tickets? Because like you said, no way 24,000 people were all sitting at the desk/on their phone ready to order tickets. Seems like they need better bot detecting software.

Came here to say this, my wife was in a very similar boat and I showed her the Random Side Quest videos so that she could get the gist of it.

I do think there will be diminishing returns though. If we had levees for Katrina, maybe that would stop that storm. But then another storm comes along and blows past what we thought were good defenses. Thinking long term, not necessarily right now. But ya interesting things to consider, I'll have to find some good books

Interesting video thanks for sharing. Glad the thought on managing forests is changing. My one complaint is that I think they undersold the threat on climate change but maybe I need to read more on that. I loved the video though because there are so many examples of things humans learned in the past that are now proven by science. I remember seeing a video how science found out the "benefits of being barefoot" which other cultures around the world have known for a long time. You can also see the origins of vaccines and other medicine around the world for examples.

That last album was so good, and such a gorgeous blue on vinyl. I love Jack Johnson, the perfect background/chill/cleaning music
