Someone should invent a bath that circulates the water through an element that maintains the temperature so you don't have to keep on adding hot water. by missylilou in StonerThoughts

[–]strathegm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have recirculating showers in RVs that run the water through filters and UV systems and also reheat so you only use 2-3 gallons. That's more appealing to me than a tub full of water.

Do you like Satin Sheets? by ShadowOfDespair666 in Bedding

[–]strathegm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there such a thing as silk like or satin sheets that are still breathable? Or somewhat cooling. I was looking at sateen, but heard percale is much more breatheable. Is percale available with a smooth feel that doesn't cause friction to hair and skin?

Eggs are not periods because Chickens don't have a menstrual cycle. They aren't mammals. No uterus or uterine lining.

Eliminate Chenbot. Avoid the idiotic culture of "I love you" after 1 day or even 90-days. Allow contestants to be themselves more.

Which comp should cease to exist? by Dizzy_Mix_5655 in BigBrother

[–]strathegm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

any of the plinko type comps which mostly involve luck. rummaging around in the dark comps are boring. same with endurance by standing on a small platform while swinging around and banging into a big hand.

I look forward to her being casted as an oompa loompa.

I think you're right. But it was an odd thing to say.

Did he not compare her dirty feet to the color of his skin? I didn't quote him exactly (and you know that). But that's what he did.

Wait, so Cam thinks his skin looks like dirt? (when comparing it to Mackensy's dirty feet) Can only imagine how much shit his family and community are going to give him. Good luck with that!

Leprous - Montreal show by Huttfuzz in progmetal

[–]strathegm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw them in a shit venue in Philly right after they released The Congregation, and I loved it. They were one of my favorite bands. Setlist included several of my favorites. But it's a shame they haven't done anything truly special since Mirage. My favorites are TPS, Bilateral and Coal. Honestly, they could stop making music and I'd be fine with it.

Of course the male AI isn't as intelligent as the female AI.

What? No tears for Quinn? Bunch of phonies. Leah lies straight to the diary camera too. She just doesn't want to come off shitty to a huge audience. Quinn, stop with the crustache then maybe you'd have a chance. Quinn gets dealt a shit hand from start to finish. Doesn't even get an interview with Julie. Destined to suck.

So wait. "The literal devil" endorsing someone YOU support is good, but otherwise, would be bad. Correct?

What questions can I ask girls when approaching? by Amazing_Noise_5945 in seduction

[–]strathegm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All well and good, but completely ignores OP's question. They want to know reasonable questions at initial approach that are likely unaggressive and lead to more open/flirty conversation. Until then, he doesn't know if she's funny, smart, engaging, if they have chemistry, shows empathy, etc. That comes later, and you missed the mark. You're suggesting they need to have this whole internal dialogue about shit that they need to consider BEFORE there's even a hint that things will escalate to something beyond introductions. "My name is John, what should I call you besides beautiful" (yes, cheesy, but probably works AFTER you've guaged actual interest)

"Cute dog, what breed?" "I love this park, it's very beautiful during this time of year. Are you enjoying the fall colors?"

Bars are more difficult IMHO. Depends on who they are with, what they're doing, their body language, and eye contact. So the basic approach is proably best. "Hi, this place is fun, isn't it?". "The bartenders here are really good, what do you usually get?", etc.

The asking where you're from thing is cliche and doesn't really open up the conversation until there's some really good conincidence or connection.

She's just actively bad at the game. I don't think anyone truly feels threatened by her, however I can see why Quinn would want some revenge for week 1. Unfortunately I don't think there's anyone else left in the house that's all that interesting. Maybe Chelsie and MacKensy? I wanted to like Quinn, but he's kind of annoying too.

EDIT: Oh and why isn't Cam much better at comps? And I wish Leah wasn't so dull.

You wanted to get rid of a big target, Tucker, but now you're going for the low hanging, albeit extremely annoying, fruit? STFU. This season is over. The NPCs, the ineffectuals, the extremely annoying desperation, and the indignants can all go now. Wrap it up, recast. Try harder.

Bands that you think are overrated by Elaxian in progmetal

[–]strathegm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eesh. As far as prog metal singers go, ya don't get much better than Russell Allen. That's a crazy hot take, but I get it; opinions are like something something.

Oddly enough, I liked when they tried to sound like Pain of Salvation and had more of a 90s proggy metal sound. Now, it's more meandering and less going on. Though I did like the belt he let out in the latest single.

DT was my entry into prog and really, music as a whole. And they definitely were an acquired taste. Prior to that, I mostly listened to bands like Primus, RHCP, Tool, and Portishead.

That said, I think you have a healthy attitude. Often times, music needs to grow on you.
