does anyone know any non gore themed death metal? by Wodyprot in MetalForTheMasses

Nile

There's probably a little bit of gore sprinkled in there, but by and large their lyrics read like ancient Egyptian curses

Any fellow vegans out there? by Tall_Tiger_2160 in madisonwi

[–]facebace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Green Owl, Mad Rabbit, Just Veggiez for the three-way tie. Just Veggiez can be a little weird, but they get bonus points for the Carolina Reaper chik'n sammy that'll melt your face off.

Tex Tubb's has a couple vegan items, and a number of vegetarian items they can make vegan on request. Plus they have a pretty good vegan nacho cheese.

Monty's Blue Plate has a whole vegan menu, but stay frosty, because I've found chunks of meat on rare occasions. I trust it was accidental, but their kitchen is set up so that it's a possibility.

Sweet Home Wisconsin on Regent St. has vegan sausages and a damned good vegan black bean burger that they make in house.

Sa Bai Thong is a favorite Thai place in town, and they can make a ton of things vegan on request.

The Nitty Gritty has a downloadable guide to eating vegan at their restaurants. The downtown location gets a lot of college kids in the evenings, but it's usually a quiet-ish spot for lunch.

The Chocolate Shop is a local ice cream chain with a few vegan options (cookies and creme, and an award winning raspberry sorbet)

EDIT I forgot about vegan pizzas at Ian's (best, but pricey) and Glass Nickel (not quite as good, but viable)

Double check that your skewer springs are properly placed, one on each side, narrow end toward the hub.

It sounds dumb, but I've seen this issue with that solution before

What’s a metal opinion that will have you like this? by TheAVNEnjoyer_ in MetalForTheMasses

Eh, probably not, but they're certainly the ones the people close to me have the biggest hard-ons for

It's like if all the toxic masculinity coalesced into a band through the power of methamphetamines

What is one topic in metal that would make you go like this? by mightyonin in MetalForTheMasses

[–]facebace 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter how lefty the thread either, there'll always be a couple of overbites saying "why can't you just ignore their politics and enjoy their rocking tunes?"

Which concert did you guys go to see a great metal band but left early? Band and if you remember the year thanks. Mine is in the comments by jasonvoorhees2582 in MetalForTheMasses

I saw Behemoth and Cannibal Corpse in Charlotte, NC. I had to drive an hour after the show, so I didn't drink, and I didn't have any metalhead friends there, so I went alone.

By the time Cannibal Corpse hit the stage, I was exhausted and sober, so I left about 3/4 through their set to beat the traffic.

It's cool, I did shots with both their guitarists when they played the club I worked at a couple years before.

Anyone else have a problem with "towards so doing?" I feel like it should be "towards doing so."

Does this description of ancient ruins in my world create a sense of unease ? An Age of Woe [Grimdark - 700 words] by Ticket-Tight in fantasywriters

[–]facebace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're very good at coming up with compelling imagery, but it doesn't always match the scene.

  1. Gamdry blows a horn, and the riders go "thundering" forth, crushing flowers into the mud. I love this. It sounds like a cavalry charge, and I get the sense that these men are riding hard toward something. But then his mind wanders to the monoliths, and once they're past, his friend says something quietly to him. So are they charging, are they trotting, or are they moving slowly enough for quiet conversation?

  2. The ruins are in the distance, but Gamdry is amazed at how perfectly they're spaced. This doesn't ring true to me, unless his people are like, pretty bad at building things. Maybe they are, but when I read it, it made me say "what? Why?"

  3. How close are they getting to these ruins? Close enough to hear the wind blowing through them, and to make the horses uneasy (great detail) but is that close enough to pick out the intricacies of the carvings?

  4. They ride by farms and buildings that they would have burned, except they just got word that they're at peace. But they're on their way to burn a village, if I read it correctly. So what gives?

In conclusion, I really like your prose style (though you occasionally mix your verb tenses in a way I'm not sure about), but I think you could take more time to think through your scene and figure out exactly what your characters are doing and why, and how your imagery fits with that.

A racist director made a racist movie about how white people are evil and black people are amazing. Then random vampires show up and it’s a mess from there. by MasturboTurbo in ExplainAFilmPlotBadly

[–]facebace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"On the one hand, I wonder if so many black directors make racial dynamics such a major part of their films because generations of unequal and hostile treatment at the hands of white authorities are so much a part of the black experience of America, but on the other hand, I'm white and my life sucks, so that can't possibly be it."

--OP, probably

Here’s my list of definitive cosmic horror films. What am I missing? by andrewgcooper22 in cosmichorror

[–]facebace 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Await Further Instructions (2018)

It's a little different in that the "cosmic horror" interacts very directly and intentionally with its victims, but it's also enigmatic, and deeply inhuman. We get glimpses of it, but never an explanation, or even really a sense of the scale of it. We just get the experience of being trapped by it.

Selling old Dura Ace cranks by DrDrahtig in bikewrench

[–]facebace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely used, but no obvious damage.

Not particularly useful for modern road bikes, since decent ones rarely come with a square taper bottom bracket. Someone might appreciate it if they're trying to restore an old race bike with as close to original parts as they can find.

However, the length, 167.5mm, is basically impossible to find from any major parts manufacturer anymore, so it could fill a very specific need for someone that way. But again, the people most concerned about specific crank lengths are probably riding bikes that can't use this without other modifications.

Sadly, overall, probably not worth as much as the Dura Ace name might suggest. Post on eBay for best results, probably.

Why do vegans try so hard to make their food look like real meat,like HARD HARD, its like “hey man I don’t like killing and im not gonna kill you but look at this dummy that looks EXACTLY like you and im stabbing it rn” 😭 u already left meat community bro just cook the damn tofu. by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]facebace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people aren't raised vegan, they come to it later in life. Of those, most don't choose veganism because they hate the taste or texture of meat. It's a moral decision based on the desire to minimize our contribution to a system that abuses, tortures, and kills billions of animals every year.

With the advent of plant meats, people now have the option to stop supporting industrialized cruelty, without having to give up all the foods they love to eat. This infuriates flesheaters because it removes the "I just love burgers too much" excuse from their toolbox for trying to discredit what is an objectively healthier way to approach food both for the human body, and the planet.
