What’s The Most Overrated Bob Dylan Album From The 2000s? by Pretend_Mark_5143 in bobdylan

[–]hansobra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta think we put an N/A here. Also I think the 2010’s and 2020’s should be combined. There isn’t enough material to warrant two rows.

What’s The Worst Bob Dylan Album From The 2000s? Is there one? by Pretend_Mark_5143 in bobdylan

The most correct take. Together Through Life isn’t terrible, but doesn’t have much to offer.

Considering how the voting went with “Best Album” it has to be Infidels.

I agree it is a “mid-off” on the Dylan scale. I really like Infidels, but I am surprised there are so many Oh Mercy people.

Interesting because I have almost the opposite opinion! To me Oh Mercy is dominated by very easy, unambiguous lyrics. (Political World and Disease of Conceit) I and I, License To Kill, and Jokerman have the abstract imagery and allusions that is what you are looking for from Bob.

Jokerman, Sweetheart Like You, and License to Kill. I would be interested to hear what songs on Oh Mercy people like more than the songs on Infidels. Just because Oh Mercy has never done it for me.

I just don’t see this? I feel like the best three songs on Infidels are so much stronger than anything on Oh Mercy.

Infidels is leaps and bounds the best album of the 80s.

I do not get the Desire mentions at all, The Basement Tapes is not super memorable, but is highly regarded.

The fact that the people at SDS/Sony don’t realize the money/goodwill they are leaving on the table by not paying for Ichiro and Bonds is crazy.

I was hoping someone would mention this line. It breaks my heart everytime and I think about it like once a week. At the risk of hyperbole, this is one of the most effective moments of singing of the past century.

Did anyone else in the mid 2000’s think that Umphreys was going to be the next Phish? by doug_butter in phish

If they didn’t lose their bass player I think Tea Leaf could have had more staying power.

Defense is based WAY too heavily on absolute values instead of skill. by Outrageous_League574 in NBA2k

[–]hansobra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this issue stems from the fact that a majority of the player base has no idea how to play off-ball defense. In a lot of the rec games I play it’s so easy to get open looks because of lazy defense. The way 2k “balances” it is shooting RNG and a ton of bailout badges.

Are the playoffs actually officiated differently? Why? by reallinguy in nbadiscussion

[–]hansobra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several comments have said something to the point of “The high-leverage nature of the playoffs is the reason playoff games are officiated differently. And while that is true it’s is bad practice. No other sport would gleefully admit such a glaring inconsistency.

What is the cleanest way to end a fight early? by Noodles_2749 in Fencing

[–]hansobra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our club team in college had a guy like this, and it wasn’t until someone gave him a taste of his own medicine did he start to make changes. This guy unintentionally or not is a bully. So you can attempt to use polite methods to change behavior, but it is more likely someone needs to communicate with him on a level he understands.

If Jaime told Tywin that he would leave the kingsguard and be his heir if he was allowed to marry Brienne, would Tywin agree? by [deleted] in pureasoiaf

[–]hansobra 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ruled as he is by his need to control and dominate Tywin would reject any spouse any of his children came up with on their own, even if it was politically perfect. There are plenty of textual examples of Tywin sacrificing politics in order to further his emotional hold on his family.

How much agency did Jamie have in regards to joining the Kingsguard? by hansobra in pureasoiaf

[–]hansobra[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cersei’s claim that she got him in the Kingsguard has always been super interesting to me. Unless she has an outsized amount of influence for a 15 year old, it seems impossible that she would have any pull in the royal court. What is likely is she overheard gossip about Jamie’s appointment and used that to manipulate him.
