Deftones is a guilty pleasure, but I didn’t realize they were considered nu-metal until I read someone else call them that in this thread. Screaming does not make music metal unless we’re all going to look each other in the eyes and say that Brand New is metal.

Ignoring for a moment that early Metallica was also awful, becoming awful still makes you awful. It’s basically an on/offul switch. There is no in between.

It is a horrible take, but only because the words ‘guns n roses, metallica, and system of a down’ all get used in the span of one comment. The only way to make it worse would be to throw the words ‘goo goo dolls’ in there.

Holy shit I can’t disagree with that at all. The endless reclassification of different metal bands into sub-genres of sub-genres is fucking mind-numbing. Like, a band uses too much compressor on their guitar and all of a sudden they’re playing Djent Metal because your guitar player doesn’t know how to use his pedals?

I’m assuming he wouldn’t be entering a guilty plea if he wasn’t getting a lighter sentence. I mean he’s a bad lawyer, but he’s not THAT bad of a lawyer.

Or make it so a fan catching a foul ball in the stands counts as an out.

Counterpoint. Guns n Roses is hair metal. Touring with Metallica doesn’t make you “not hair metal” because Metallica is hair metal. Guns n Roses, Metallica, and System of a Down are all awful.

I’ve never understood the appeal of fantasy football and I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to know that even the people that play fantasy football don’t like it. Like, all my resisting the pressure to play was worth it.

If you’re trying to start a “whose state is shittiest” competition, you should choose a person that doesn’t already agree with you to play against.

As a Dallas native, I would advise you to take that perception of Dallas to the grave. Never go back and for God’s sake DO NOT go anywhere North of Dallas if you ever want to look back on your words without feeling shame, for your experience was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Twice a year is definitely a climate thing for me. I never had to do that before I moved here where summer and winter are both pretty good and ruining wipers on their own.

We haven’t? That’s news to me.

My wife, a good friend, and I were making the ~20 hours drive from Dallas to Salt Lake City for some skiing. The plan was for my wife and I to split the day shift then for my friend to takeover for the remainder putting us into SLC at around 6AM. Perfect time to grab some breakfast, some coffee, and head up to Park…

Having good wipers is a godsend and I don’t understand people that don’t keep them in good shape. I’ve gotten to the point where I change my twice a year: once after the summer since the heat tends to dry them out and once after winter since the ice tends to tear them up. It’s a less than $80/yr expense so people…

I don’t waste much time in traffic, but that’s because I leave work, go straight to the gym, spend a couple hours there between weights, pool and hot tub/sauna, then go home after 8pm. That puts me home about an hour and a half later than just going straight home would, but time spent doing nothing by the pool is…

Man. Fifteen years ago, I’d read this comment and think about how it must suck to live in California and the traffic is awful, blah blah blah. Now, you literally just described the Dallas commute. Leave work at any time between 4 and 7 pm and you’re looking at 2+ hours to go 30 miles.

Suki’s Mom: Just get a fake emotional support certification and take your dog everywhere which is a totally 100% acceptable thing to do and no one that abuses that system is a complete piece of shit at all.

So you’re just trolling then.

Whatever you say friend. I’ve watched winter tires literally leave rubber powder on my rear bumper and disintegrate into worthless, bald hunks of nothing in the matter of a month because it got a little too warm.

I’d say there are two reasons that together make this such a dirty hit. For one, the hit is clearly dirty in and of itself. He lowers his shoulder directly into the head of someone that doesn’t even see him coming. That would 100% be a penalty if it was on a receiver and don’t give me the hockey nonsense either…
