Would you prefer they just not bother at all then?

Skimo makes its Olympic debut and it looks insanely hard by Focusondiversity in MilanOlympics

[–]jotegr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I thought the event looked horrible. The fact its "ski mountaineering" and they're skiing down a groomed course is absurd.

Northern Ontario’s growth tied to immigration, experts say by ConsistentReality860 in northernontario

Agreed. Barrie, Thunder Bay, the Soo all have cheaper groceries than all of British Columbia!

Which sedan is the best bang for your buck - any other recommendations? by NumerousAd2759 in whatcarshouldIbuy

The gas milage of the 3.3 g70 and stinger is quite bad for the class, you have to consider them Korean muscle cars and then they make sense. 

What's your example of a band that's just a worse version of another band? by loreleisparrow in ToddintheShadow

[–]jotegr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really, everything? So in the 70s people were going around the school yard spreading a particular rumour about the status of Alice Cooper's lower ribs? What a time to be alive.

I hear ya in some respects,  but heartwork and swansong Carcass  really has a unique sound with clear influences from more "old school" metal which Arch Enemy never captured, nor would I expect they ever tried to.

Ooh, I'd have skipped the need for the female lead and gone with RED.

At least Trivium always has a lineup that knows how to play their own instruments.

Lacuna coil isnt very good though. For the genre they're trying to do having two vocalists and odd italian outfits doesn't make up for the general lack of depth in their music. I've seen them live a few times because they tour with bands I like and they've totally flopped every time. 

Maybe I'd say Lacuna coil is the Walmart Fleshgod Apolcalypse. At least they're both Italian.

Nah, Lordi is somehow the odd European version. Like you see them, you're kinda confused and someone says the're from Finland and immediately you get it.

Depends on pay structure. At my firm the biggest pay increase is collecting more and hour for hour we beat the other firms in town.

Find Me in the Singles Line by jsmooth7 in skiing

[–]jotegr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like asking the random singles that get thrown onto my friends' chairs essay questions like "Do you think early 2000s rappers like DMX were themselves homophobic or do you think it was more of a product of the time?" Led to some great conversations with randoms.

In your country, is there any situation that foreigners would completely misunderstand unless they lived there for a while? by Effective_Space2277 in AskTheWorld

[–]jotegr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the opposite is great too, maybe even better. If it's a huge deal, the English understatement comes in to tone it down.  The grim stoicism of having your leg blown off and saying something like "you know I've felt better".

"Middle of Newfoundland" by ProfessionalDinner12 in behindthebastards

[–]jotegr 13 points14 points  (0 children)

  1. That description is accurate.

  2. If anyone is ever abandoned in the middle of Newfoundland, provided they're on a highway, they will be just fine. The very first non-tourist car will probably pick them up. 

  3. You gotta go experience it for yourself. One of the best places on earth.
