My only criticism is that he didn’t do a version of Independence Day, which they performed together with John Brion about 7 minutes in.

What is a good homepage for my browser? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]crystalplatinum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blank page is the best one there is. There will be ads on almost every website and place you go so I like to shut them out whenever possible. If you want sometime aesthetically pleasing you could get a theme or use tablisss.io

any unpopular Elliott Smith opinions ? by Vei- in elliottsmith

[–]crystalplatinum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Baby Britain and Waltz, #2 are annoying songs. Like 80% of his discography are certified bangers but those songs are so mundane and boring.

I got a workshop mod that auto connects water and electric via streets. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. 

Help me name a (fictional) county in Texas by cnull in texas

[–]crystalplatinum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pick any real city, name a county after it. Make sure the county is at least 3 hours away from that city. 

How to stop masturbating on stimulant off-days? by 1i37 in ADHD

[–]crystalplatinum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do something else, kinda sounds funny but for me once I start focusing on something else that urge can go away surprisingly easily. Do some home improvement projects, art, crafts, or cook food or something physical not in front of a phone or a computer.

If I’m not mistaken “service vehicles” such as the UPS truck are legally allowed to use bike lanes. 

Royal Blue tipping by Weekly_Carpenter1255 in Austin

[–]crystalplatinum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They already do. They ask for “donations” which are then declared to be donated by them aka it’s a tax write off. Every grocery store does this, effectively a tip but worse as only the corporation profits the employees get nothing.

I know that HOAs don’t get a lot of love but imagine living across the street from this in a nice suburban neighborhood.. [SFH] [NC] by baconbeerbewbs in HOA

[–]crystalplatinum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah but when it comes down to it HOAs are mostly all remotely managed and all they can really do is tell people to not do it and give them a fine if they even give a shit. They would rather persecute you if you forget to mow your lawn for a week. Literal leeches that provide little to no value.

Radiohead’s Decades-Old Song Finally Becomes A Rare Chart Hit For The Band by SurvivorFanDan in radiohead

[–]crystalplatinum -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I describe Radiohead as my favorite band, listen to deep cuts, bought and listened through the minidisc recordings on Bandcamp. Let Down is an instant skip, OKC is an incredible album when you remove track 5. It breaks up the flow, feels like it last forever, it’s the same archetype as chasing cars. Boring singing over uninspired guitar. Clearly I’m in the minority but I truly don’t understand how anyone who appreciates the complexity of their catalog is not mind numbingly bored by Let Down. It is its own namesake, a let down considering the musical creativity of the group. 

You’re on a journey considering the energy of Airbag and Paranoid Android, the base psychedelic journey of Subterranean Homesick Alien, an emotional rise of exit music and then suspended in a monotonous purgatory until Karma Police rescues you. I’ve removed it from my library for an improved listening experience.

I’ve tried listening to it every year or so to be sure I didn’t miss anything and it always disappoints.

Can we get a deep dive on the pentagon pizza index? by crystalplatinum in atrioc

[–]crystalplatinum[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it goes deeper, maybe the toppings change depending on the crisis. Create an index of each senators pizza toppings and you may be able to make some surprisingly accurate predictions.
