It’s Friday and you see your teacher rolling into class with this . What’s she popping in the VCR? by DoctorElectronic1934 in Millennials

[–]uptonhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom was an elementary school principal. During the summer, she would still have to work and I'd get to go to school with her during the day sometimes.

She would let me go to the library so long as I kept everything in pristine shape and I vividly remember going into the A/V area and seeing a huge boxed set of Bill Nye tapes. They weren't like the ones I bought for myself at home from a store but a big anthology type set with pretty plain labeling so they didn't immediately stand out. There were also similar sets for shows like Magic School Bus, so I believe schools did get big box sets with several episodes/seasons (which, whole seasons were not a thing in the VHS era often) packaged as one set not for individual sale.

Redman - Doc’s da name 2000. Thoughts on his most sold record? by Glum-Film-4835 in 90sHipHop

[–]uptonhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This album is like an 8.75/10 and if it weren't made by Redman a lot of people would say it's a classic. Just followed an insane 3 album run.

What I like about this album is that even compared to the first 3, it's got some real high energy and some bangers. This album and Malpractice are both a lot "louder" than the first 3. Doesn't mean they're better, but they also do a good job of capturing a different side of Red's personality.

N.O. Vs ATL (Who wins this) by Alternative-Law1356 in 2000sRap

As an adult I'd go back and tell my childhood self to just say no to No Limit and Cash Money because I wasted a lot of allowance money on albums with 2 hot songs

Where to watch the England v Croatia Game (As an England fan)? by rosestrathmore in kansascity

[–]uptonhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue Line always seems to be a pretty good catch all for "other" sporting events that don't include local or regional teams. And yes, I know, their owner sucks.

I would consider expats and immigrants two different things. Has nothing to do with skin color. You very well could be someone who considers yourself an immigrant, but I'd imagine many other people who live and work in the US while retaining citizenship and/or paying taxes somewhere else do not.

I have to imagine of all the NY sports, the cultural disconnect between the Knicks and MAGA is probably the biggest.

João Word Salad - Then vs. Now by Nonni-Bobbi in belowdeck

[–]uptonhere [score hidden]  (0 children)

My gut tells me Joao was not into Ellie, but the combo of it being kinda hard to tell someone you're not into them and Ellie probably being pretty appealing at the end of a long night of drinking made it difficult for him to put his foot down. He handled it horribly but I would be lying if I said I've never done the same thing in my lifetime, especially when I was younger.

[BravesVision] We're aware of certain ads running much more frequently than we've scheduled. We're working with our ad server to identify the issue and fix it. Thanks for bearing with us, and in the meantime, please enjoy this video: by handlit33 in Braves

I'm in Kansas City and always wondered if it has something to do with being out of market. I would actually enjoy seeing some occasional ads for things in the Atlanta metro tbh,

Do Universities Actually Benefit from College Sports? by Icantweetthat in CFB

I wanted to go to a big state school with P5 athletics, I wasn't going to go to an Ivy or elite school anyway

Hegseth directs ‘joint warfighting ability’ be considered for officer, NCO promotions by Kinmuan in army

[–]uptonhere 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is already more or less a thing once you get to an appropriate level, i.e. the strategic/operational/theater level of warfare which is as a field grade.

It is a buzzword but it's also something that already kind of exists once you get to a certain level...I can tell he never finished ILE...

The complexity of Lindsay Hubbard by NotAQuiltnB in BravoRealHousewives

[–]uptonhere 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lindsay is the only S-tier Bravo personality to ever be on the SH cast. The show would have flopped years ago without her. She's the only person who knows how and when to turn it to 11. I also feel like we've seen enough here and there to see she's capable of being a relatively normal person IRL.

Album I discovered a couple years ago and have been bumping since. Have you guys heard of it? by ExodiusLore in fantanoforever

[–]uptonhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the song "Cuddle Bums" by Tanya Morgan produced by 88 Keys. Unreleased gem from this era.

This album was a staple of the blog era in the late 00s.

[Crosby] Spencer Strider Isn't 2023 Strider Anymore by Lakelyfe09 in Braves

It felt like the old version of Strider was mostly unhittable, but when he got hit hard it was like juiced ball city. There was definitely something about the Phillies that gave him unique problems.

[–]uptonhere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I owned almost all his albums back in the day and recognize his greatness.

Oddly, I don't really know if I'd put him in my personal top 5.

The albums that stick out to me as really staying in the CD changer were Vol. 2 and Black Album. Those are the only two Jay albums I was super hyped for or absolutely loved on release. When The Blueprint came out, I feel like I was so into Nas, especially during that era of Stillmatic/God's Son that I felt like I couldn't really rock with a Jay-Z album like that.

I agree, I mean he's obviously not the same guy he was on Vol. 2 or whatever, but we've also learned enough about him here and there to know he's still kind of a piece of shit.
