Maybe try dropping it off at the store where you originally picked it up?

Gary Patel said:Before I touched it up, the post actually said, "I'm not voting in this poll," but then I went in and changed it to just "archive."👍

So, here's the deal: officially, I didn't participate. Like, at all. I didn't check off a single box in that poll above. All I did was drop a quick comment saying "archive" to show where I stood. If the mods want to double-check, they can see what the post looked like before the edit—and hey, they can probably see who voted for what, right?

At the end of the day, I figured this was a bit more weighty than those random little parties people throw in the chat, so I decided to give a real answer.

🙏🙏🙏

Man, you can try to fight it, but it's just not gonna happen. Nowhere to be found. 🤣🤣

Wait, are you guys actually taking the polls in this PDF?🙂

Archives. Even if most of it is just total gibberish at this point, there’s still something kind of nice about digging through the old stuff and reminiscing about 🙂

John Doe, I’m throwing out the Britney Spears Circus as my pick. Honestly, it feels like I’m the last one left holding the bag for her on this board since everyone else bailed after they finished talking about Need for Speed, Jimmy Carter, and Justin Timberlake. I gotta admit though, I've spun basically her whole discography... even if I haven't sat through the full album itself. I mean, those three singles are absolute bangers, but I just haven't vibed with the rest yet... Thursday at 10:00 PM maybe?

Britney Spears

Circus

As far as I'm concerned, I'm down.

Honestly, we weren't even surprised that he’d dig whatever "Daddy Issues" track he plays, regardless of the vibe—as long as "Daddy" is in the title, he’s in, right?

LOL, I was trying to listen on YouTube through my phone and the damn thing died on me halfway through🤣
Don't judge me, haha

Black Magic Woman is super sensual, kind of a vibe, really digging it... might be his best one on the album, 9.5/10

Listened to Daddy Issues again, and honestly, I'm liking it even more now, 9/10

And as for what counts as "daddy"...😍

Man, that "Oh Daddy-oh daddy I'm on drugs" track? It’s such a vibe. Honestly, it’s stuck in my head like a catchy jingle from an old Geico commercial—I just have to hit replay. Giving it a solid 8.5/10

9. Honestly? I don't even want to get into it—it was alright, kind of a snooze fest, nothing to write home about 😁 5/10

8.YMLF- Look, most of the music is top-tier, but honestly? The vocals are pretty rough. It feels way too overproduced and sugary for my taste—kind of like eating too much candy at once. Some parts land okay, maybe a solid 6/10, but overall it just feels like a massive waste of potential.

Lawrence Parker said:"the chain - honestly, I can't even find the right words to explain how much I love this track 😍 I want this playing in the background while I'm kicking the bucket"

🤣
And yeah, that final stretch of the song feels like a bit of a slow fade-out, almost like a "peace out" vibe
It's just killer, though. Totally engaging—it’s got structure, you know? A beginning, middle, and end, yet it keeps shifting under your feet the whole time. 9/10

6. Songbird—it’s just way too sugary for me. I can't really get into that "high-pitched" vocal style they're using; it feels pretty forgettable overall and doesn't really click for me. 4/10

(The description says it's an outtake next to the video... does that mean it didn't make the final cut for the album?)

5. Go Your Own Way—man, I’ve known this track since I was a kid (I actually just went back to check which album it was on, and honestly, I’m kind of floored; I mean, this is absolute legend status, yet somehow I never even put them in my top tier for the century🤣), total metal vibes, that chorus is killer👍+pure nostalgia. 8.5/10

Man, don't you dare stop—that vocal shredding is killer🙏🙏 especially during those parts where they hit "...yesterday's gone..."
The guitar solo hits hard at certain points too👍 but honestly, the whole track feels a bit played out... like I've heard this exact vibe a hundred times before. Solid 6/10

3. I am never going back—honestly, this is such a vibe, just living life🤣
It feels like I’m cruising in a pickup truck somewhere out in the Midwest, maybe deep in rural Texas or something, soaking up that intense sun with a hat pulled low while I just mess around with a blade of grass between my teeth.🤣 8/10

Haha haha kronerica

So, what's the move? Are we keeping this going or what🤣?

Regarding Fleetwood Mac discography—the female vocals on 2.Dreams are solid, maybe even better, but I think I vibe with the male vocals a bit more. The track itself feels pretty moody and repetitive, but hey, it works fine as background music; it doesn't get annoying. It’s like some weird mashup of Norah Jones and Jinx, haha. 6/10

Hey everyone, what's up?

A bit late to the party here, but my colleague Mashenko totally shot down my suggestion to kick things off at 1:00 AM.

1. Second Hand News—starts off pretty chill, kind of a slow burn, but right around the halfway mark, things actually get interesting and hit a real peak. After that though, it just feels repetitive, like it's circling the drain toward the end. I'd give it a 6/10.

They’re offering a pathetic 12% discount, which is honestly just insulting.😵 🤣

Hey there, I was wondering if it would actually be worth it to have a family member over in the United States pick up a Macbook Pro for me while they're out there? Is there any real difference between the models sold over there versus what we get here in terms of how they run or just the overall price tag?
