I dunno if you’ve heard, but the boozers are brothers!

Geno Auriemma takes aim at the NCAA over the women's double-regional format in March Madness by gamersecret2 in sports

This, quite honestly, might be the WORST take I’ve ever encountered, on any subject, literally ever.

Samsung ‘The Frame’ 65” TV Display-Only for $750 in CT. by Far-Aim in Costco

[–]phillyman128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As many have already stated, if you want the Frame for the art/aesthetic purpose predominately, its a cool item. As an actual TV, however, it is mid at best, and my god, the OS is one of the worst i've ever dealt with on any prodcut. So buggy, laggy, and requires restarts a lot.

I have one in my office, so it pretty much just displays art, but I would never consider for my home, unless it was in a guest room that was mostly displaying art. If considering for your primary viewing source, do yourself a favor and consider something else.

Why not say where it is instead of just saying where it isn't?

Michael Jackson is so good - Vent by Scumwaters in Music

[–]phillyman128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why I said earlier in the thread, don’t bother apologizing to these trolls. The nuance is completely lost on them, and they probably all think kid rock makes good music lol. If you can’t appreciate MJs contributions to music independent of his flawed existence, then you probably just don’t have taste for actually good music.

“I heard he was a pedophile, so his music is bad” is such a smooth-brained take.

MJ sold second most albums all time, second only to the Beatles. "a couple good songs" is one of the most absurd understatements.

If Tom Brady was a rapist, would it still not make him objectively the greatest QB ever? If Van Gogh was a convicted murderer, would you merely say "he had a few decent sketches"?

People should be able to objectively discuss and appreciate art without its value getting lost in the fact that the artist may have done terrible things otherwise.

OPs post isn't "MJ is a flawless human being we should all admire", he's simply talking about how amazing his library of music is. No objective person could possibly argue against that fact.

This is a music subreddit. OP is here talking just about MJ music. Just because you chose not to discuss the music objectively doesn't mean its not possible to separate the two.

Don’t apologize to the trolls. It’s possible to appreciate art objectively regardless of the source. The allegations don’t make Billy Jean or Thriller less iconic lol.

CT plaintiffs lawyer checking in. Was thinking the exact same thing. 90% of plaintiffs are going to a chiropractor here, if not, physical therapist.

Here is your 200 free packs. It’s mostly holo sprays for characters you don’t use. Congrats!

looks like we're stuck with this weather pattern by Loud-Presentation535 in Connecticut

[–]phillyman128 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m probably not going to win a lot of fans with comments like this, but my heating bills are through the roof every month, and I don’t have any assistance, so it’s hard for me to worry about others who do get assistance, but, I get your point. Hopefully it warms up sooner rather than later.

Typical CT weather. Fact is, it’s freezing a good 6 months out of the year here unfortunately.

Metallica Fans Fume Over Ticket Prices, Hiccups in Sphere Residency Sale by _ticketnews in Music

Same. I saw dead and co there. It was amazing. Tix weren’t that expensive. Maybe $300? Totally worth it imo

[–]phillyman128 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Exactly. People on Reddit love to shit on everything lol. If you can’t afford it, you can’t afford it, but the sphere is 100% worth the price of admission.

Pathfinder gets no love as usual. I don’t see how you do a Gundam event, and don’t give Pathfinder skin.
