So I found this CD on the street today on my way to work, right? So I decided I’d bring it home and listen to it.

And it was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.

LOL at all the people comparing this to ‘80s / ‘90s anime openings. My dad, who grew up Orthodox Jewish, flipped his shit when he heard the battle theme for Final Fantasy VI because it resembled Hasidic music. What is even going on, Japan?

[kirinblr]

Well this is kind of a revelation. This missing half of the equation.

Prog Rock + Hasidic tunes = 90s JRPG battle music.

[nadiaoxford]

OK but this post led me down a rabbit hole and I learned Hasidic music is really popular in Japan so I doubt any similarities to game / anime music is a coincidence. Holy shit u guys.

i’m glad this has resurfaced w/ v interesting commentary!

I do have to say, I have never seen this level of US public opposition to Israeli activities in Palestine before. I remember being online during the Israeli bombing campaigns in 2014, and there was no public outrage, no serious discussion on news programs, and very little sympathy for Palestinians outside of the traditional leftist circles. Now, there’s large marches from Chicago to Miami, Israeli crimes are being discussed as crimes on MSNBC, and multiple members of congress have given speeches condemning Israeli actions. All of that would have been beyond inconceivable just a few years ago.

this episode of mythbusters started with an apology holy shit

[switch-up-snowfox]

Oh the cannonball ain’t nothin compared to the esparto incident.

[natalie512]

The what now

[switch-up-snowfox]

They were testing the phrase “knock your socks off” and because its the mythbusters build team (which consists of 3 boom addicted gremlins) they decided to go to a quarry near Esparto california to test the myth by blowing shit up. This time they got 500 pounds of ANFO. The detonation was pretty damn big.

They started getting phone calls, turns out they and the experts underestimated the size of the kaboom, reports of broken windows, car alarms going off, people getting knocked out of their seats, hell one news station reported that they leveled the town.

According to grant, that’s why they can no longer go back to esparto.

[natalie512]

LMFAO nobody can rival the power of the mythbusters

[switch-up-snowfox]

I’ve seen people talk about how adam and jamie are the polar opposite in energies but the build team operated on the same wavelength 90% of the time and that wavelength was “kaboom.”

[darth--nickels]

your "if you were watching SPN during the Bush years" post is how I found out Bush was in office while SPN aired. I assumed he was like in the 90s or something?? the 70s? IDK, I don't remember any president prior to Obama. I thought Obama was in office the whole time SPN aired, prior to Trump.

maybe I do need to put “under 18 dni” in my bio, for my own physical well-being.

the donald trump animatronic at disneyland’s hall of presidents looks like they made an animatronic for hillary, went “oh fuck” and stretched a hastily-made donald trump skin over hillary’s facial structure

You wake up one day and realize you’re in a parallel universe. You’re not sure what exactly is different, only that everything seems a little… off. Your suspicions are confirmed when you go with your friends to the mall and Take On Me comes on, and it sounds like this.

this song makes me feel like i’m half asleep on the bathroom floor of a 7-Eleven at 3:17 in the morning and i was trying to make my way back to my hotel took the wrong turn on the highway and i got too tired to keep searching so i just gave up.

Marriage is good and weddings are great but I hate modern wedding culture. You don’t need to bankrupt yourself to have a nice wedding. Stop supporting the wedding industry, stop buying outrageously priced engagement rings, stop spending 10k on a dress you’ll only ever wear once.

[tidy-tidings]

Coming from a professional event planner - weddings are egregiously expensive because companies openly raise prices at the word “wedding.” 

Pro Tip - Never drop the word wedding while planning if you don’t need to. Most things can be for “an event you’re planning.” This obviously doesn’t include things like the venue, DJ (who needs specific wedding songs), and the wedding dress company if you’re going that route versus just buying a dress.

For my wedding I got “discounted” cupcakes, flowers, decor, bridesmaids dresses, groomsman attire, and invitations. I did this by either searching for things that aren’t marketed for weddings or not telling the companies I was working with it was for a wedding. Because honestly, most of the time they don’t need to know why you’re ordering.

These companies target people planning their weddings and markup everything the second “wedding” is said. And it’s said often because people assume the services change exponentially for weddings. They absolutely do not. 

The best example are the cupcakes I had for my wedding. I used a designer cupcake store in town instead of spending $1000 on a wedding cake. If you place a large order of cupcakes with a cake tree for display - it costs about $150 for 100 (which is what I did). When you order their “wedding” package - the price raised to a $700 base for 100 cupcakes. The only other perk includes a “tasting.” Forget that. Our tasting was buying a few cupcakes in flavors we thought we’d like and picked three. It cost maybe $20. 

What these companies do is scummy and targets people who don’t have information about the event industry.

I will yell it from the rooftops until people realize there’s a better way.
