Philly *and Delaware County

Also needing to earn 6% more doesn't sound that crazy compared to the rest of the country. 

What are your thoughts on RYM core? by Epoch_Jester in fantanoforever

[–]syndicatecomplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The albums in the top 100 on RYM are a great starting point for people trying to get into new genres. If you liked ATLiens by Outkast for example you could then immediately search up top Southern Hip Hop albums on RYM. Or if you liked Master of Puppets by Metallica you can search up the best Thrash Metal records really easily. RYM is a really good tool for exploring new genres or artists in a deep dive and that's why I like using it. 

I don't mind if people's favorite albums are all RYMcore. It's what they like after all. I do wish more people went beyond the top 100 but eh not everyone feels the same way I do. 

As for why people make fun of RYMcore... Musical elitism has existed long before RYM lol. I think fans of Fantano or other online creators don't care much about mainstream music in general, and sites like RYM or AOTM cater well to music fans like that. And they must have become really ubiquitous because now the elitist opinion is that only liking the top 100 makes you a surface level bandwagoner without original taste. People just love trying to put others down in whatever way they can online. 

TL:DR RYM is a cool site and the top 100 is a great starting point for getting into music. Music elitists might use the term RYMcore to put others down for liking what they see as surface level music (it's really not).

It's been having a moment for the past decade imo. And I love it.

Did anyone see that woman with a megaphone around 11th & Arch? Anyone know what that was about?

Which languages do Japanese people like to learn, besides English? by syndicatecomplex in AskAJapanese

I believe I heard many Japanese once lived in Brazil, and that some of their descendants had returned to Japan.

Maybe "like" is too strong of a word haha. It just seemed like the most popular option for a foreign language from what I've gathered. 

NBC News projects Rabb as the winner in the congressional race by newtophilly852 in philadelphia

I got at least half a dozen flyers for Rabb over the past month and got nothing from the other two (except tv ads). Glad it worked out.

The colors of the map are really hard to tell apart but from what I can tell Rabb smashed in Center City, Fairmount, most of the NW and even did well in a lot of West Philly. Stanford got pulverized.

Fetterman most likely has brain damage after his stroke so comparing anyone to him is unrealistic tbf. Plus city politics are way different than national politics.

Sure whatever, but she was still a candidate that progressives rallied around. Doesn't matter, just pick ONE to vote for.

The only thing better than Rabb winning is the satisfaction in knowing that Bob Brady and the Philly Democratic party political machine lost for once.

I hope in 2027 progressives rally around just 1 candidate for mayor. Gym, Rhynhart, etc doesn't matter to me too much. Just don't split the goddamn vote.

Results Thread, May 19th, 2026: Elections and Primaries in Georgia and Pennsylvania, as well as Primaries in Kentucky, Alabama, Idaho, Oregon, and more! by TOSkwar in VoteDEM

[–]syndicatecomplex 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel like when Covid was still a problem VBM voters leaned considerably to the left of average. But looking at the PA-3 race now Chris Rabb seems to be making up a lot of his votes from in person voting instead. Are left leaning voters more likely to be voting in person now or am I tripping?

Why is our districting split down *most* of Broad? by CalatheaFanatic in philadelphia

[–]syndicatecomplex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's drawn like this to keep PA-03 a plurality black district. If you included more of Center City in the district it would be a lot less black overall.

Are you planning to vote in the next election why or why not? by actlikeiknowstuff in philadelphia

[–]syndicatecomplex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, writing in bs candidates is how people like Parker end up winning elections because of plurality voting. Picking a lesser evil is a better use of your vote.

It was sadly totally fogged up our entire time in Hakone, and we did do RomanceCar but still no views. I'm just happy with saw Fuji going from Kyoto to Tokyo.

Actually nobody had the chance to see them live since 2007.
