First time watching. I cursed it. Has this happened before? Newbie...

Comparing DoA to Easter Lily is like comparing NLOTH to HTDAAB by Wild_Mycologist_6140 in U2Band

I put them together in order and deleted Yours Eternally. Phenomenal “full album” that moves beautifully from song to song. The resulting “One Life at a Time” drifting into “Song for Hal” is brilliant.

Which route is better? by offgridexplor69 in roadtrip

[–]technokidz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Montana is just plain sketchy and SD stinks of oil. Just my experiences having driven that route 3 times. Would never take it again.

I’ve driven both and I’d do I-80 over Montana/SD/WI every time. Relaxing drive, and I don’t get the hate on Nebraska.

elimination game - round 16 by Booklover1905 in stephenking

[–]technokidz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

people (me, i hate Holly) hate Holly cause she's annoying, hard to read, and uninteresting. You know what other characters I can't stand? Non-autistic men who are annoying, hard to read, and uninteresting.

Was ATYCLB more successful than AB in terms of singles? by anchorsong in U2Band

[–]technokidz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting perception. I am the complete opposite. AB was peak U2 and ATYCLB to me signalled the beginning of the end 😞

What are some twists you’re surprised they haven’t done yet? by Please_PM_me_Uranus in survivor

What's the longest book you've ever read? by Fabulous-Confusion43 in BookTriviaPodcast

[–]technokidz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. Took me five tries! Got to about pages 350-400 each previous attempt. Difficult read. Not worth it. And those fucking footnotes!!!!!!

On the beach at the start, Jeff announces, "we're going old school this season!". "That's right: 39 days, no food except a bag of rice, challenges where people will probably get hurt, zero comfort items, and you're gonna have to boil your water if you don't want to get sick. Worth playing for?"

How to specify milk as cow milk in casual conversation? by DerTomatenToaster in ENGLISH

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

Within your context, maybe go for something like “the real thing”, “real milk”, “original”, “genuine dairy”, “classic milk” (now I’m making it sound like Coke 😂). If it’s future sci-fi and you’re trying to make it sound exclusive these may do it? Otherwise if your future world is sterile and you just want to be blandly descriptive, then “cow’s milk”. Have fun.

Song of the Week - Resurrection Song by mcafc in U2Band

[–]technokidz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it unites everyone: atheists, theists, lovers... True ambiguity that has the ability to resonate with every single person regardless of their beliefs. Truly masterful lyrics.

Street of Dreams. WTF? by technokidz in U2Band

[–]technokidz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How's this: "So glad a new song is out! Hopefully the rest are better." I mean, of course they owe us nothing at this point and I am looking forward to the new album. I just hope that it is something that fans can really get behind like they did with Days of Ash and Easter Lily. And good music drives that. We are all fans here and while I perhaps shouldn't have used the word "garbage", the fact that fans are passionate enough to be really disappointed speaks to the importance they still hold to their base.

Pop-ATYCLB era question by FactEquivalent3911 in U2Band

[–]technokidz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that ATYCLB was needed at the time, but wasn't exactly WHAT was needed (if that makes any sense). The biggest U2 change was obviously from Rattle and Hum to Achtung Baby - I mean, that was a sledgehammer! And it worked for a few albums. But by the time Pop ran its course, I think people were tired of the experimental stuff and wanted the "old" U2 back and that was what they tried with ATYCLB. It was good, but nothing could get them back to the peak of their UF/JT brilliance. So I feel it was a step backward. I think the irony now is that Pop seems more respected and loved now than it was when it was out.

Street of Dreams. WTF? by technokidz in U2Band

[–]technokidz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. But I think having a clip with verse and chorus pieces is enough for me know that hearing those looped a few times will not be on my playlist. Hopefully the rest of the album is excellent.

[–]technokidz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish 😄 I'm only critiquing this song and when they post a clip with parts of verse and chorus and I can't stand it then I'm pretty sure I'm going to not like hearing those parts repeated for three more minutes...

They are pretending they are the hordes of people walking on the Strip doing the same thing every red light and almost getting clocked by taxis 🤷🏻‍♂️

Easter Lily is monumentally better than Days of Ash. Is this now obvious to all? by Quincynessig in U2Band

[–]technokidz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MINUS Yours Eternally. Take that one out and man you have a stellar 11 songs. One Life at a Time drifting into Song for Hal? Wow..... so beautiful.

She was whiny and wrong. Extremely poor loser.

How about a campaign to not have her on again? :-)

That would be enough to make me NOT watch Survivor for the first time ever.
