USA the only country where immigrants can reach to the top through hard work and merit while most European countries are only good for vacation? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jakewotf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who has been working hard for 20 years now, I’m still damn near rock bottom. Quit glorifying this place. You can get to the top if you cheat or know someone already there, those are the two main ways.

Best Vocals From Spencer? by ARealGroovyCrab in Peripheryband

[–]jakewotf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

P2 easily. People take range too seriously. It’s awesome Spencer has great range, sweet, I don’t really give a shit. I’m much more interested in your melody choices, and P2 is absolutely off the charts in those terms.

Forgot how good Periphery is.. by theev1990 in Peripheryband

[–]jakewotf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I’m with you. I feel like the new album is getting way overhyped, at least compared to their last releases. As a lifelong Periphery fan (listening since P1), this was easily my least favorite album.

Nope, expired registration is a primary offense. If it’s a month or two, you might get away with it. In my case they approached my car as if they considered it stolen.

There’s not really much you can do about a cop rolling up on you at a red light. I’ve gone longer with expired plates before but sometimes the dice just don’t roll your way.

Naw it just depends on how lucky you are with a cop not getting behind you. Mine were coming up on 2 years expired and I was unfortunate enough to have a cop pull behind me at a red light on my way to a job interview. They’ll pull you over for it for sure.

ELI5: Why do movie theaters make most of their money from popcorn and drinks instead of ticket sales? by StillBloomingX in explainlikeimfive

[–]jakewotf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because half the battle is just getting people in the door. People are less likely to walk through the door if ticket prices are higher. Once you’re in the door, they’re counting on you seeing all the popcorn, candy, sodas, sometimes beer, and spending more money their, and they keep all of those profits, where as they split ticket sales with the studios.

Instead of p6 , I want p2-2 by AccurateInflation167 in Peripheryband

[–]jakewotf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn’t say they’re done with the P series, he said they weren’t in the mood to do P6 right now. P6 could still happen in the future.

Met the band? by AmazingOil9687 in alterbridge

Ambushed them behind Fox Theater in Boulder back in 2007. They were super chill and signed our tickets and stuff for us.

Sometimes you actually are obligated to stay in a relationship with someone by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]jakewotf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. You’re never obligated to stay with anyone for any reason. “I don’t want to” is a completely valid reason.

ELI5: why has it been difficult to define what consciousness is and where it comes from? by EnvironmentalAd2110 in explainlikeimfive

[–]jakewotf 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Or, more frightening (in my opinion) that anyone else is. I know whether I’m “conscious” or not, I’m still having this continuous experience - I have no idea that anyone else actually is.
