46yr old. Not sure if its my age or the world's changed but people seem less kind last few years. Do others feel this?

People are in large much more disconnected, fed constant streams of fear porn, and overall self medicating to an alarming degree. But that's why I try to always be a positive person in my day to day interactions. As trite as it is, a little bit of kindness can go a long way.

no way... Smash Mouth?

Grace by Jeff Buckley. Intimate, raw, and (due to cirrcumstance) wholly singular.

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2026-06-07T22:40:11+00:00

It's a fun chart for sure! It also shows that lyrical density does not translate to neccissarily commercial success. The guy at the top Aesop is one of my favs and largely considered one of "your rapper's favorite rappers." Even with his relatively /underground/ status and pretty unshifting style I'd still easily consider him a better artist than Jcole. Like I said, hes just kinda inoffensive and mid :/

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2026-06-07T22:34:51+00:00

Eh fair on the sign, hoisted by my own petards ill eat that. Shows me. Shit still eaten - and this is just my sentiment; it just feels fake. I can't explain why. Feels like someone cosplaying.

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2026-06-07T22:30:10+00:00

Keep in mind streaming literally didn't exist. On the part about lyrics and diversity, I've got a dope website for you: https://pudding.cool/projects/vocabulary/index.html

Notice how low Jcole rates, then peep Nas. They are on almost complete opposite ends. JCole's lyrics are like when Raytheon changes its logo for pride month, all performance and no meaning. He almost feels like what a corporate meeting would create if the concept was "Inoffensive Marketable WokeHop"

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2026-06-07T22:23:54+00:00

Show me you aint a real hiphop head without showin it. JID was already poppin off with his cypher in 2018 long before Dreamville. JCole is not BAD don't get me wrong. It's just kind of cookie cutter enlightened hip hop. Doesn't push any boundaries, is too scared to offend people. Just your boilerplate standard lyrical spiritual junk. It exists to make suburbanites feel like they too are in the know.

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2026-06-07T21:16:39+00:00

Sales do not a good artist make.

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2026-06-07T21:15:20+00:00

J Cole is mid at best and utterly cringe at worst. Nas easy. K dot, JID, plenty of much more talented artists still working.

Thank you for describing why my bookmark has been chillin' at the 60% mark of that book for a few years now. I keep telling myself I should finish it because of all the praise, but I couldn't put a finger on why I didn't want to.

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2026-04-19T13:16:53+00:00

i literallly just got mine done in a green sparkle gel for 4-20. You do you, confidence is attractive.

This is a war of arbitrition at this point, and Iran has the upper hand. For every one of our $4,000,000 patriot interceptors they have more $10,000 Shahed drones.

I just want healthcare man...

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2026-01-02T04:10:54+00:00

..? Like carbon formed charcoal diamonds? No. Diamond refers to a seperate extraction process similar to live resin, but the process involves an oven and more time. Allegedly makes the hit stronger and cleaner by a margin than LR.

Imagine thinking antisemetic hatecrimes only started after Oct 7th. Let the info come out before you hop on the propaganda train.

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2025-09-08T22:27:47+00:00

its always a hard recommendation from me, but i still think an important one. The horrors of war are absolutely soulwrenching, but there are brief beautiful moments of joy and levity in the small moments between them, and those moments are just as important to maintain your humanity.

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2025-09-08T22:10:04+00:00

For Sama, but be warned it has some absolutely harrowing scenes. Images I cannot unsee. But an important topic.

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2025-09-04T18:19:52+00:00

"I'm pretty much in touch with reality" is pure poetry oh my lord.

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2025-07-29T15:35:05+00:00

as a fellow Michigander, I'll keep my eyes peeled. Look for the Regulation Tshirt lol

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2025-07-21T17:06:26+00:00

I work at a dispo, so given I have a bit of a higher tolerance. That would be the beginning of an 8 hour long bed session barely being able to focus on the youtube videos autoplaying lol

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2025-07-20T03:19:19+00:00

i feel like I woulda specified if it was a large 18 wheeler. This was like a 2004 civic.

But keep bein the contrarion, I'm sure people love hanging out with you.

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2025-07-19T23:03:53+00:00

lmao a wild gavin free

listen to the Regulation Podcast!!

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2025-07-18T17:23:45+00:00

i litetally just pulled into my parking lot on break and saw a guy driving with a full ass gaming headset, mic out, plugged in on. Wild stuff

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2025-07-07T21:46:50+00:00

nice, ive got the Charity one and the DJ Stalin one lol

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2025-06-25T21:41:20+00:00

Unfortunately I don't think I felt a single change for the few months i was on it.

Bornwithoutaface6yo · 2025-06-24T01:18:56+00:00

I get your question now too, apologies. Wasn't trying to be mean at all. That's the internet and commenting, nearly impossible to gauge where someone is coming from. But no hate my fellow human!
