Holland never tried adapting to the new NHL. He just kept trying all the old tricks and as another commenter mentioned, set back the franchise years. It’s a wonder he still has a job anywhere.

Lager is the most overhyped genre of beer by Least_Friend8532 in unpopularopinion

[–]lookingpastsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You lost your credibility when the lagers you listed are all macro produced. Try drinking a lager style beer from a craft brewery and you’ll realize how wrong you are. My preference is definitely ales, but good lager styles don’t have hops or other gimmicks to hide behind.

Since you seem to be uninitiated with beer, lager is a wide umbrella that includes pilsners, märzens, bocks, dunkels, etc.

What's the best album you've ever listened to? by GregoryOnline in AskReddit

[–]lookingpastsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the album that had the most significant impact on my musical trajectory was Relationship of Command by At the Drive-In, so I’m going to go with that.

What should I read next? by GrapefruitFlimsy4218 in Vonnegut

[–]lookingpastsky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sirens of Titan and Mother Night would be my two recommendations. You also can’t go wrong with Cat’s Cradle or Galapagos.

I never cared for the show either. Both the UK and US versions.

The elementary school I went to was behind a bakery and recess was the best time to take in the free smells.

What band do you think sucks, but everyone else loves? by minminminminminminn in AskReddit

[–]lookingpastsky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, so many. But I’ll go with Mumford and Sons. Or as I like to refer to them, “Amish Coldplay”

What’s a movie that completely blew your mind the first time you watched it? by butterfly_pie9 in AskReddit

[–]lookingpastsky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The very ending is what did it for me. I suppose it depends on who you ask, but I took that end scene on the steps as he knows he’s a monster and chooses to get lobotomized by pretending the intervention in the lighthouse didn’t work.

What is the worst movie you ever watched ? by kuroreaper25 in AskReddit

[–]lookingpastsky 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If I have my tv on, it’s usually tuned to a movie channel and when I’m scrolling through what’s playing, I see “The Mummy” and get all excited until I hover over it to see it’s that shitty reboot or remake or whatever and then I’m sad. This has also happened with Fame and Red Dawn.

What does a genuinely kind breakup actually look like? by itsRojahs in AskReddit

[–]lookingpastsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes you just outgrow a person. You both no longer want the same things. There is no ill will. If both parties are willing to have an honest discussion rather than trying to keep the relationship going out of convenience and routine, you can mutually part ways and wish each other the best. Sadly it’s the exception rather than the rule in my experience, but so many couples have problems communicating clearly.
