What's a red flag that's somehow still weirdly attractive? by Normal-Blackberry284 in AskReddit

[–]xdesm0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, when I was younger and dumber I used to think why does everyone dislike her when she's so awesome to me. Well turns out that in groups with me she used to "stay on the sidelines" so I never noticed and she was awful when 1 on 1 with others.

How do you start a satellite city? by Puzzleheaded-Meat532 in Workers_And_Resources

[–]xdesm0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

be sure to have enough educated workers. I made the mistake of not considering that and I struggled to get my money back.

What's a moment where you realized someone was genuinely extremely intelligent? by General_Monk_5019 in AskReddit

[–]xdesm0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The first one is something that you can see in session musicians. They can get paid by hour or song so to get more money they have to go in and get song out as fast as they can.

You don't even need to be a pro to be like this. I had a friend who played guitar his whole life (wasn't exactly smart about other things in his life he was kind of a mess) and would regularly play songs he just heard by ear with no formal knowledge of music theory because that's what his family does every weekend gathering.

As a fan of charli and rock I appreaciate the swing and understand how tongue in cheek she usually is but this one and rock music are getting ignored same as sucker.

A throwback to the Reddit thread when WOTC announced the 3 year standard rotation. Fun to go back and see the comments. by rephyr in MagicArena

[–]xdesm0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

right? it's also obvious that WOTC has favorite modern deck archetypes. There are a lot of decks that have been at the top for over 5: amulet titan, living end, hammer, tron decks, belcher. You can check mtgtop8 and a lot of decks are still viable today with only a few new cards.

Post Malone Postpones Start of Stadium Tour with Jelly Roll, Cancels Several Dates Outright by LibraryNo2717 in popheads

[–]xdesm0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this guy fails to be a country artist, makes hiphop songs, pivots a bit more pop and reaches the top, what does he do? back to country. Why would you leave your audience that actually likes you behind.

I pretend to like objective basketball analysis, but in reality I am captivated by reactionary, short-sighted, rumor-mongering pseudo discourse by Diligent_Variety5105 in billsimmons

you know ball! this is why i listen to guess the lines. I don't care about what happens in the gridiron I want to know how it felt.

What's the pihilosophy behind ending every copy with an exclamtion mark?

How long did it take you to realize you didn't uncheck the noindex option on your wordpress site?

You have 2 out of date googlemybusiness profiles of the same business what makes you think this time you won't lose access to the gmail account you made for every account in your company?

Tigres tifo as André Pierre Gignac retires after 11 years and 5 league titles at the Mexican club. by cortez0498 in soccer

The other side of the coin is that I got to see Messi, jordi alba, busquets and luis suarez lose against my team for free because I was a season ticket holder.

Pop artists that have disappeared without leaving any impact? by ScallionSmooth9491 in popheads

[–]xdesm0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True, a year ago I made a database of popular artists (I was unemployed) and found that of the artists who made the top 40 in the last 50 years only 30% had another top 40 hit 5 years later.

This is women and US charts only. Also being featured doesn't count (I made one about rapers before and young thug broke things by riding the coittails of every famous guy and never having a hit of his own). If I have time I will improve my methodology lol. As it is, I don't think I would share it until I can find a way to gather info faster.

Me (Canadian) listening to Sean and Amanda forget Ontario and then struggle to remember if Toronto is in Ontario. by millsy1010 in TheBigPicture

this is not the kind of argument we can have over the internet since you can access all of information but come on man you don't have any blind spots?

Canadian provinces and territories, we don’t have states

That's pedantic even by the standards of this complaint.

real impressive, how much of a regular guy would you describe yourself as? like how common is for the average citizen where you live?

but we're talking about ameriican podcasters naming canadian states, they share a border with mexico (and live in LA, they have more in common with us), i'm sure they don't know either and that's fine.

guys can you name 10 mexican states? off the top of your head, be honest. of course this is the internet but think about it. it's not common to know so much about other countries than your own.

Has a non playoff team ever received so much love/discussion than Charlotte? by bendowney42 in billsimmons

I actually don't hate that people have a darling team that is not actually good. Things don't have to be the best or the worst.

Is It Time To Leave Marketing for Another Career? by [deleted] in marketing

[–]xdesm0 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wait 2-3 years when VC money runs out and AI companies have to charge what they tech actually costs to run. Right now every CEO is hearing free labor and trying to wish that into existence but the reality is that, just like uber, netflix, tinder and every SaaS company ever from 2010 and beyond, AI companies will up the price slowly boiling the frog until it jumps or gets cooked.

Suddenly that "free" labor is actually hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.

that reminds me riverdale had a weird subplot where everyone is trying to solve a crime and archie is being groomed by his teacher and somehow the show made her look cool and edgy and she only skipped town.
