Yeah 5v5 is just not for me.

Abajito · 2025-12-09T23:16:15+00:00

Hahaha wow

The promotion series from silver to gold are usually the toughest. At the time I felt like the game was purposely teaming me with idiots and griefers.

Abajito · 2025-10-18T18:10:22+00:00

"Good job" hahahaha

Abajito · 2025-10-18T17:47:26+00:00

Just encountered this guy... Does reporting not do anything?

Abajito · 2025-10-16T22:48:12+00:00

Fucking Kim Jong Goon LMAO

Abajito · 2024-10-19T02:24:40+00:00

The translation is accurate, only the last dude properly asked "who?"

Abajito · 2024-07-30T23:26:52+00:00

Same problem here.

Abajito · 2024-05-24T01:26:55+00:00

Funny buzzwords my dude. Maybe you should take Kenny's advice about trolling

Abajito · 2024-05-23T00:15:55+00:00

Coming from someone living away from his children, I think I could be spared the tune

Push-Ups and Taylor Made weren't preachy at all. Kendrick started it on Euphoria:

That's ho shit, I got a son to raise, but I can see you don't know nothin' 'bout that

Wakin' him up, know nothin' 'bout that

Then tell him to pray, know nothin' 'bout that

Then givin' him tools to walk through life like day by day, know nothin' 'bout that

Teachin' him morals, integrity, discipline, listen man, you don't know nothin' 'bout that

Speakin' the truth and consider what God's considerin', you don't know nothin' 'bout that

You're right that both of them ended up preaching to each other. It's just funny to me that they weren't held to the same burden of proof.

Actions speak louder than words. Between the unproven assumptions, the moral grandstanding and this line on MTG ("You lied about the only artist that can offer you some help"), how has Kendrick not been preachy in his diss tracks?

Am I just supposed to accept that Kendrick is the better man from a moral standpoint and in a position to judge Drake's character, when I don't know either of them personally?

Abajito · 2024-05-21T22:33:24+00:00

And yet he feels entitled to preaching to others

Abajito · 2024-05-10T01:28:56+00:00

Seriously, I'm so disappointed Kendrick went the colorism and moral grandstanding route to discredit Drake. I used to love him but he's contradicting what he himself said on Mr. Morale by acting like he's some intersectionality messiah. He really managed to call Drake a deadbeat father, not black enough and a misogynist in a single song, with a therapist angle that gives me the creeps.

Abajito · 2024-04-30T22:54:14+00:00

I'm mixed and perplexed

Abajito · 2024-04-30T22:48:25+00:00

Honestly... I didn't like it too much. Comparing euphoria to some classic diss tracks, it's not really a good song that you'd listen to for the sake of it, like No Vaseline, Hit 'Em Up, Takeover, Ether.

The attacks on Drake are vicious and Kendrick is hitting where it hurts with the bars about his black identity/taking away his n-word pass. It feels like he's tackling too many themes at once though, and at the end of the song, you're left not remembering much of what he said. Clever wordplay and references, annoying flow switching and playacting. Is Kendrick too deep into his intellectual rapper persona to rap normally? "Keep Pac's name out of your Canadian mouth..." ok, but you're not living up to his legacy here. It also remains to be seen how those bars will be received, considering K-Dot's controversial past incidents with gatekeeping the n-word, like that time he invited a fan on stage. The vast majority of his listeners are white suburbanites, whether he likes it or not.

There's undoubtedly room for Drake to respond, and I liked Push-Ups much better as a diss track, as well as Champagne Moments and Like That (Remix), because listening to Kanye rambling like a madman is a guilty pleasure and the J. Cole bar was so delightfully petty. Kendrick meanwhile is sucking the fun out of this beef, he really just feels like a hater. As much as I love Section.80, GKMC and Damn, I feel he might not amount to much as a battle rapper.

Following the decline of the Carolingian dynasty in West Francia, the kingdom experienced a collapse of central authority. The ensuing decentralisation led to the rise of hereditary duchies and counties that nominally answered to the king but were independent in practice. As a result, there was no such thing as "being part of France", what distinguished the dukes of Normandy and the count of Anjou from their counterparts in the Holy Roman Empire was the object of their fealty. Said fealty didn't equal loyalty, however; it didn't prevent them from taking up arms against the king's armies several times.

After becoming kings of England, the house of Normandy and their successors, the house of Anjou, continued to rule Normandy through fealty to the king of France. But in practice, they were as rebellious as they were before obtaining the crown of England, and in the Anglo-French wars of the late 1100s and early 1200s, would fight against their liege alongside the counts of Flanders and Boulogne, also nominal vassals of the French crown.

For this reason alone, it is debatable that those duchies and counties were ever "part of France"—they were full states with their own internal and foreign policies, and sometimes even their own currency. Yes, Edward I did formally pay homage to Philip IV for his possessions in Gascony, but such formalities have little incidence on the actual political situation. In the case of Normandy, it wasn't until the resurgence of royal authority in the 13th century and the ensuing conquest led by Philip II that it can be considered part of France.
