Jesus Christ, shut up dude. I can’t even stand discussing this with you. For the third time, I’m not an SP fan, and your baseless pronouncement that the recording quality is “unintentionally bad” is laughable. You know who the producer is right? It sounds exactly the way they wanted it to, ffs.

What the fuck are you even talking about? An intentionally unpolished sound can very much seem like a “bad recording” depending on your viewpoint. And if I was a fan of the band I would openly admit it.

I said it was intentionally unpolished, not intentionally bad. And I’m actually not much of a fan, certainly not since the ‘90s. I just think your opinion is bad.

It’s intentionally less polished sounding than their other work. It sounds good, it just isn’t what you were expecting.

“A quick look on...Reddit...show a lot of people actually disgusted by it”

You just have bad taste, it’s okay lots of people do.

Things I like about Phantom Menace:

All those complaints about TLJ are firmly in the suspension of disbelief category for me. Because as soon as you start nitpicking space physics, the entire Star Wars universe pretty much falls apart. This is space opera, no need for the close logistical scrutiny. The other critiques seem to be coming from an…

I find the wooden acting endearing. It’s worse than the OT in that regard, but not so much worse as people think. Nostalgia has warped people’s perception of Mark Hamill’s performance in ANH, which was hilariously bad. I think if you’re going to love Lucas’s movies you kind of have to accept the cheese.

The Phantom Menace is actually Good. It has cringey moments but when you adjust for the effects of nostalgia, all the OT films do too.

Uh...no one is trying to take away Kanye’s free speech. They’re telling him to shut the fuck up, which they’re allowed to do (because of their free speech, you know?) Just because someone tells you to shut up doesn’t mean you have to do it.

Bad writers always like to have their characters deliver lengthy, implausible speeches and soliloquies. Westworld has bad writers.

How did they manage to make a desert island in the very wet, very tropical South China Sea? Maybe climate engineering is a thing in this era, or maybe the climate has radically shifted from our own time?

> “Starbuck’s reaction to this incident clearly demonstrates that kicking people out if they don’t order anything isn’t their policy”

I’m a millennial. But yeah, you’re right...people never make humorous generalizations about generations.

I love how much millennials hate Bill Maher. He certainly isn’t perfect, but the reaction to him is incredible. And of course the criticisms always resort to inaccuracy in order to further stoke outrage.

Trudeau is such a hypocritical dumbass.

You’re fucking retarded.

I just did. I don’t know, it actually bothers me that I don’t understand the appeal. It’s like I’m missing out on something everyone else understands. It’s like Minecraft, super popular and I can’t even fathom why. But I wish I did?

I wish I could understand the appeal of FPS, but no matter how hard I try I can’t get into them. Doom is maybe the one exception. I feel weird for not liking them when they’re the most popular genre by far.
