Elentor posted:Symphonic Power Metal and variants are absolutely the worst genre and the more the band takes itself seriously the worse it is. I can't imagine someone hearing Rhapsody of Fire and not cringing. "Ah yes this concept album about a fantasy plot worse than the worst videogame plot is great, I sure love midi". I am glad it exists because it prevented my metalhead phase from lasting more than a year and I give mad props to Sascha Paeth for his hustle, but good lord is it bad. I'm puzzled. Kiko Loureiro comes across to me as one of the least likely people in the scene to express an opinion like that. He doesn't write lyrics, let alone cringy power metal ones, and Angra/Megadeth are not even dragon-adjacent bands. Now if you told me that Fabio Lione performs a Krusty the Clown-style transformation into a cynical, contemptuous grouch the moment he walks off stage every night after having just sung enthusiastically for hours about dragons and wizards, that I could see.

I should be able to watch your poo poo on an airplane, a smart phone screen, or a projector if I so choose. Everybody else has figured this out and you're a drat tits and dragons popcorn show, not an art installment demonstrating use of Vantablack.

His brother actually likes Metal and I think he was the source for Kiko getting into the world, but Kiko himself is as disinterested in it as possible. I've never met Fabio Lione so I couldn't say but it'd be extremely funny if his true love all this time was eurobeat and he longs to return to the glory days of his eurobeat and dance projects.

It's dumb that boomers blame younger generations for not playing outside when they are the parents. This applies to anything the old blame the young for, except the participation trophy which doesn't really exist and is an urban myth. This is a boomer adjacent opinion because it's a blanket statement fueled by grumpiness and being on this planet being subject to it for too long. My other boomer adjacent opinion is that Stevie Nicks and Christine of Fleetwood Mac can do no wrong.

Participation trophies existed for me as a kid, everyone got surprisingly not lovely golden medals for 2nd to last in pretty much whatever happened. If the event was fancier then it'd be golden/silver/bronze/[random metal color here] instead of just golden colors for everyone. Thinking in retrospect that was a lot of effort and material for something deeply inconsequential. Someone in this very site told me that I should go outside more still mid pandemic, and all I could think was what sort of take is that to give to a random person. I live in an area with 45,000 people per sq mile. There isn't playing outside, I've seen my father going on about how kids should play outside more and my reaction was like how, where? Tell me a street here that's a viable "outside" and what game you'd be playing in it. He stopped saying that after thinking for two seconds, ranted about how times have changed (no poo poo) and yeah having almost 3 times the population does that.

I believe, like Boomers, that while propaganda should be carried out among people of a ripe enough age and intellect to promise to renounce God, until they actually make their vows those under instruction should not be taken to the Aquelarre, or Field of the He-Goat, for they should not enjoy the riches and pleasures that our master promises until they have totally renounced their baptism.

Miracle Whip is better in deviled eggs than mayo. The confusing sweet-savory combo becomes the perfect umami when combined with the egg yolks, mustard, and relish. Or is that more of a Greatest Generation thing? Bc Miracle Whip is a Depression-era food made as a mayo substitute using less oil. EDITed to correct facts - it's a Depression food, not even post-!

I had forgotten that I share this opinion. I wanted to buy a Chrysler 300. My "car guy" buddy told me, "That's just a Rolls Royce knockoff for poor people, don't buy that." And I was like, "Yes, that is exactly the point. Everybody should be able to have a beautiful car." Then I learned Chrysler exclusively makes lemons.

Government regulation on MPG requirements (god damned LIBERALS) is what killed the car in general. Why make one when you could slap some extra plastic on it, raise it half an inch and call it a crossover and suddenly the govt enforces more lax MPG regulations on it. As to why every crossover / suv has to also look like poo poo…I think the public just loves poo poo.

I hold the opinion, as Boomers do, that when Adam and Eve were created, their roles in childbirth had not yet been established, and in order to do so, each deposited their seed in two jars which were then set aside and the seed allowed to germinate. The masculine seed of Adam brought forth a handsome son who was thenceforth called The Son of the Jar, but the feminine seed of Eve stagnated and from it all kinds of filthy and unclean things emerged: flies, and carrion-worms, and writhing insects of every sort. Thus it was decided that the role of Adam was to deposit the seed, and Eve to receive it. Boomers also believe that they are descendents of the Son of the Jar, while all other peoples are the descendants of Cain and of Adam's other children.

‘Aioli’ often is used to refer to flavored mayonnaise edit: For example, if you mix hot sauce and mayonnaise together, you now have a ‘spicy aioli’ condiment for your sandwich, which is millennial-approved. However, if you were to advertise the same sandwich as having hot sauce and mayo on top, the millennial response would be: ‘Yuck, no thanks’ silence_kit fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Nov 11, 2022 |

I love cars but would see them eradicated in a heartbeat in favor of restructuring society around walking and public transportation if that was ever possible.

Mayo is for literal babies and immense Americans (someone post that pic of the two gigantic women with the massive pizza, huge Coke bottles and tub of mayo pls). We mature Boomer lovers of fine foods put soy sauce, vinegar or tomato sauce/ketchup on our FRIES!!!
