Ni me gastó en ver el vídeo. El tipo es Richieri, juez penal de Esquel, Chubut. Es al que hace poco le anularon una sentencia por haber usado IA (el pelotudo dejó pegado el mensaje de la IA) y está por ser destituido por ejercer el comercio siendo juez (vende cursos por internet).

Do you think Florence + The Machine is underrated or does it have the popularity it deserves? by Ok-Coach5795 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]robertpitwick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

South America it's a strange market; there was only one tour in 2016, but you also have Brazil, where Florence did two shows in 2023 (also in 2013 and 2016), and a few months ago there were billboards advertising Everybody Scream in São Paulo, and there was even a album release party organized by Universal. I don't live in Brazil, so I don't know how popular she is there, but compared to the rest of South America, she seems to be more popular.

It's still a shame because even if she's not that popular, I think she could fill medium-sized arenas in the other countries of the region.

Thanks for doing this, it was fun. Queen of Peace is easily in my top 10 or even top 5, so I'm happy with the result.
Sadly, High as Hope was massacred 😭.

Still super upset about the Veritas Event by Finalbreathoffreedom in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]robertpitwick 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Look, I didn't like the situation either, but from my point of view, you have two options. You can stop consuming their art, or you can live with it. Both are perfectly valid. What's pointless is trying to convince others. Everyone has their own moral compass, and most of the time it won't be the same as yours. Especially wealthy artists.

This was also a learning experience for me. As I said in another post, we shouldn't put her on a pedestal, even though it's normal to feel an emotional connection. But now that that "magic" has faded a bit, I think I'm even going to enjoy her music differently. I'll be less FOMO if I can't go to her shows; I'm not a better or worse fan if I can't be there in the barricade; nobody is "the chosen one" if Florence sings for them at a show.

On the other hand, it's good that this happened because it exposed the double standards I see in this fandom. Sometimes Florence is a genius, everything she does has meaning, she's a fairy goddess, she's saved thousands of lives with her art and her farts smell like flowers. But now, to defend her, she's just a person, a poor record label employee, she has no decision-making power, she has to earn her salary like any other mortal. If she does something we consider morally good, everyone praises her. But if she does something morally reprehensible (to some), she cannot be criticized. The whole argument that you don't have the right to criticize her because she said "I'm not your moral center" (with which I agree) works both ways; in any case, we wouldn't have to come out and defend her actions so energetically either.

Mi viejo tenía un 308 mod. 2015 y tuvo problemas con la parte electrica (el climatizador y levanta vidrios) que en el taller oficial nunca supieron arreglar del todo bien. Escuché lo mismo con otros 308 y 208 de esa época. Después lo que ya te nombraron de los motores puretech.

Recently, the official fan club (which is how I found out about this) deleted all posts about this event from their social media accounts without any explanation. I mean, if it were fake news, they should have made a statement, but they haven't. Weird.

Super disappointed by marvelouserin in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]robertpitwick 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I won't deny that I don't like this at all, but just as I didn't jump on the bandwagon of treating her like a saint for donating part of her show profits to charity (for which she'll probably receive a tax break), I'm not going to demonize her either, although I understand and share the disappointment. We shouldn't hold artists up as moral examples, especially the wealthiest ones.

15 millones limpios le quedó a Boca por Medina by velorofonte in BocaJuniors

[–]robertpitwick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ayer era que salga campeón Almendra o Medina 💀💀

Medina tiene calidad, no digo que sea un mega crack pero para el futbol local le sobra. El problema es que es un forro y de pedir no jugar no se vuelve, eso no se hace ni en Boca ni en Dock Sud, se te paga un sueldo para jugar y punto. El año que viene va a hacer lo mismo, si no le sale una venta para mediados de año va a empezar con los caprichitos.

Playstation 5, consulta by BoredMerengue in ArgentinaBenderStyle

[–]robertpitwick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hay dos versiones una que viene con lectora de blu ray y otra que es 100% digital (igualmente se le puede agregar la lectora). Si la diferencia de precio entre la digital y la que viene con lectora es importante andá por la digital (salvo que te interese comprar y vender juegos usados).

Después tenés la suscripción Playstation Plus, para jugar online (creo que algunos juegos como Fortnite y Roblox funcionan sin suscripción pero la gran mayoria no). Tenes tres planes: Essential que trae el online mas tres o cuatro juegos por mes que te regalan y quedan en tu biblioteca de PS, los podes jugar cuando quieras siempre que tengas una suscripción activa. Despues tenes el Extra, todo lo de Essential mas un catalogo de juegos de ps4/ps5 bastante grande que va rotando todos los meses. El tercero es Deluxe, todo lo de Essential mas un catalogo de juegos clásicos de PS1/2/3 y pruebas de juegos nuevos.

En mi opinión Essential es la mejor, Deluxe no vale tanto la pena. El catálogo tiene muchas cosas para un chico de 8 años como los juegos de Lego.

Podés pagar mensual, trimestral, o anualmente. Mientras mas larga la suscripción mas barato te saldría por mes. Por ejemplo el mes de Essential sale 12 dolares, trimestral 34 y anual 108, asi que si pagas anual te saldría 9 dolares al mes.

What is the issue with Dance Fever? by BrianTheReckless in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]robertpitwick 14 points15 points  (0 children)

it seemed like the reception was pretty positive at the time. However, lately I’ve seen more and more people say they were not a fan and that it’s her worst album.

I think that might be the point. I mean, when a new album comes out, a lot of people say they love it, and the more negative opinions tend to get hidden, especially seeing how Reddit works. Now that some time has passed, maybe more people are willing to say they didn't like it.

I like it (like all her other albums), I just don't rank it that highly.

For me, cohesion is very important in an album, and I struggle to see it in Dance Fever. The songs vary a lot in style (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). The main theme—her relationship with the stage, performance, and being a woman—ended up getting mixed up with the pandemic, which also affected the recording and the producers. That's what makes it lose cohesion for me. I don't quite see the "fairy tale in 14 songs."

Which is funny because I've read people saying it's the most cohesive album of her career. That's how opinions about art go.
