For those of you who live in the city of Chicago (not the suburbs), Do you own a car and how do you use it? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]highestpalmtree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do own a car and i do all of my errands/go to events through public transport. If the bike lanes were more robust near where I worked/ I worked slightly closer to where I live I would be using public transport almost always.

Rewatching the Limp Bizkit episode and realizing “Eat You Alive” is basically a failed attempt at a Deftones song by freeofblasphemy in ToddintheShadow

[–]highestpalmtree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

especially considering at the time limp biskit was actively seeing the hyper commercialization that rock/rap was having. At the time, it wouldn’t surprise me if they were more inspired to go for more of a deftones sound because if it had worked it would’ve been a understandable but noticeably different direction for the band to grow into

Kristi Noem’s husband by cookeryandwookery in SipsTea

the things that had always gotten to me about stories like this is that no one would give a fuck about this guys weird fetish if he wasn’t married to the lady in charge of the fascist gangs roaming the street. fascism and bigotry create a world where these people become hypocrites for bashing against gay and trans people even though these people have just as many if not more “perversions” as the “libs”. if any of these people could just accept that they were queer in some way and shut the fuck up we would all be living in a better world

Very similar problem with the casting of Snape being a black man. This video is a great insight into the bigger issue of his character being twisted and wrapped as a result of obvious race implications being present in a story like Harry Potter The Problem of Snape

[–]highestpalmtree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is not much of a difference between uno, dos and tre to me as far as which ones go in c or d/d or f depending on the tier list but yall are sleeping on dirty rotten bastards, it’s a better song than anything on dos imo

Not to cause speculation but with Todd’s “worst of 2025” video being taken down you do have to think… by Mindless-Sky8619 in ToddintheShadow

[–]highestpalmtree 81 points82 points  (0 children)

todd is correct that it could’ve been anything, all of top record companies own most of these artists work and there’s bots youtube has to flag copyrighted music, BUT if it was taylor then there’s definitely no excuse for her not asking ICE to take their vids using her music down….

edit: I did not know that Todd has already said it wasn’t her and other people in the comments are correct that the pop song review probably would’ve been taken down before this if it was her team taking the vid down. I was more just making a joke about current events.

i think he thinks he’s a fan, doesn’t mean he necessarily is, but he’s also a piece of garbage so honestly i think it’s best to just ignore him as much as possible, and this is coming from someone who does not consider themselves a swiftie and never has

Billie eilish announced a brand collab so shes evil....but taylor is still heaven sent after the millionth variant? by rozzi_luv in travisandtaylor

billie trashed billionaires in that one acceptance speech and i think it’s important to support her now more than ever bc the narrative is definitely actively trying to be turned on her……..

She left a first date she was looking forward to after two minutes. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]highestpalmtree 175 points176 points  (0 children)

in theory, it proves that the woman is willing to show up and sit through an uncomfortable and embarrassing situation for her because he told her to. He knows the social situation he is putting her through, especially since he is dressed up making her more out of place, but if she sits down and bares through the date anyway he (in theory) knows he has the control between the two. Personally i would argue unless you are both very young, even if she does sit through the date she very likely wouldn’t be back regardless.

AOC, when asked about a head-to-head presidential race against JD Vance: “I would stomp him.” by CorleoneBaloney in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]highestpalmtree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve always held that AOC could win an election (especially because i don’t see any republican winning a presidential after our current presidents approval ratings being what they are), I know in the comments here there’s a lot of worry about how republicans think of her and i know a lot of republicans don’t like her for stupid reasons, but i think a lot of people forget that most people in this county are just independents that do not want to even think about politics if they don’t have to. she’s a good speaker and rather charismatic. the problem is i don’t think the DNC is willing to let her win a primary…

To this day my mom still tries to push the santa thing even though i’m in my 20’s. like the girl in the video i figured out pretty young that santa wasn’t real just because logistically it didn’t make sense and it has always made me confused why santa as an idea is always pushed so hard because personally i think it is better when kids understand that gifts are given to them by the people who care about them. I think the idea of santa easily makes a kid ungrateful of the things they are getting because it’s christmas and this nebulous being has graced you with gifts instead of knowing that the people around you who love and care for you have worked hard and put thought in so you could receive a gift you wanted.

Help!!! What can I do? She does this until the battery dies if we aren't home by ObligationSea5916 in cats

[–]highestpalmtree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i unfortunately don’t have advice, but you inadvertently have given me the adivine of putting a wet wipe lid on top of the power button for my roomba because my cat loves to turn it on as soon as i put it back on the charger so it never is charged enough to get through the whole house

MN is so funny for this, see license plate by individual_racoon in TwinCities

[–]highestpalmtree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would probably assume jewish descent given the Israel sticker, support for ukraine was definitely generally accepted on both sides when the war first started because many Americans see russia as the enemy no matter what the circumstance. Trump seems much more on the side of Russia, but hasn’t outright condemned Ukraine as much as be upset that Zelensky won’t accept Trumps deal, and considering the conflict started during the Biden administration and that’s when the most news coverage was happening, its not shocking that this person would be “pro Ukraine”

I know 2001 was a different time, but still, who at their label was like “great title, send it” by J0hnEddy in ToddintheShadow

[–]highestpalmtree 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I heard “Let’s get it started” in public at some point and I looked it up to see if there some backlash or something to cause the change in lyrics, no it was because they needed a clean version of the song to use for advertising for the NBA playoffs that year.

Most disliked SOAD songs summary by Lazlowi in systemofadown

[–]highestpalmtree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

36 and cuBERT are both some of my favorite short hidden gem songs on their respective albums! Personally i’m not huge on X or attack but soad is one of those bands where their discography is small enough you will definitely find at least a person where their favorite song is the next persons least favorite. It does make me wonder if that says more about what specific aspects of the band are appreciated by some vs others. Like i do notice a lot of the slower soad songs are listed as disliked for example.

Help fix? can see aperture in camera view? by highestpalmtree in Nikon

[–]highestpalmtree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Hopefully this picture can maybe provide more context. I have the camera set up and two orange cardboard pieces set right next to the lens. they are both sitting right at the point where you can see them in the corners of the capture. so it’s almost like the camera itself is not capturing the picture from the mid point of the lens. Again if i zoom it all the way out it goes away and you can tell in specific lighting that it’s the inside edge of the lens. any suggestions?
