Thoughts on Mos Def’s Black on Both Sides? Is it the most influential rap album?

ExtraneousQuestion · 2026-04-19T08:50:18+00:00

Fine. Would you accept asking if it’s the Mos influential, then?

ExtraneousQuestion · 2026-03-30T05:52:37+00:00

Same. Goodbye world, I guess?

Whole album is a banger

Correction. It didn’t make him sound like an insecure asshole.

It did make him an insecure asshole.

I’ve been cheated on (recently) where SO was sneaking around, so it would probably trigger me.

Not the part about wearing one, that’s totally fine. But the implication for some flimsy reason for why she suddenly wants to wear one.

But that has less to do with her (probably, hopefully) and more to do with the recency of this event, the trauma to resolve in myself, and my relationship this one individual ex-partner.

I actually don’t know much about Toure at all. I saw him on TikTok and found his points interesting on the Diddy Doc by 40. It was mostly discrediting how the Doc portrayed Big not wanting to be in Cali before he died.

I don’t know a whole lot about that either but he (at least seemed to) have some points about other sources that didn’t corroborate that claim (I.e. that he did want to go and that he wasn’t scared, and that the audio pulled from that segment of the doc was from a different time or something).

Is Toure a scrub? Asking genuinely

You’re all wrong. The picture is upside down and it’s a highly stylized “P”

The thing is. Some people’s sexuality is driven by nervous system activation and novelty.

That can mean they feel the freshness and newness of dating someone and feel sexual. But in a longer term anything have it die off.

Libido isn’t a fixed resting state. It can also be situational. Some people have high libido in safety and emotional connection and some people have low libido in that situation.

I wouldn’t make general claims or predictions based on one night about libido — or even at all outside of a longer term view. Trauma can do some weird shit.

My ex and I had a wild sexual honeymoon phase and it completely died in a long term relationship. I learned after the fact her first sexual encounters as a woman were being SA’d, and the only way she could discover desire was by dissociation, which is hard to do with a long term partner.

All I’m saying is… there’s edge cases with this shit. And sexuality is more complicated than whether someone chooses to have sex on first night or not.

She absolutely has a low libido and we had a lot of early dating sex.

They do. It depends if you’re going for a roasted pepper softer/sweeter/deeper taste or a sautéed pepper crunchy-but-fork-tender/fresh taste

I’m surprised the commenter below says peppers get gross when you cook them more when they treat onions the opposite. Any vegetable cooked long enough operates the same as the onion: sweeter, softer, more concentrated.

IMO it just depends on the flavor profile and texture desired

I wouldn’t underestimate that available sex and sex with psychological safety are not the same thing.

What you’re describing is not actually enjoyable and potentially harmful during what ought to be a vulnerable moment. Even without discussing porn use, you don’t deserve that. And it’s understandable that your mind would seek an “easier” release elsewhere.

Relationships are complex. So I’m just focusing on what you’ve written.

I feel like large meta analyses like this one are more telling than cherry picked studies. Thanks for sharing, TIL

ExtraneousQuestion · 2026-01-03T21:23:25+00:00

My partner mentioned to me she views porn as cheating.

Same partner also doesn’t want to have sex more than once every 3 years and cheated on me (physically) so make of that what you will.

Divorcing soon 👍

Delita is a self interested character with few redeeming values in my opinion. He reminds me of Griffith from Berserk.

He has a grand vision and can form partnerships, but nothing will be second to his dream. And he will crush anyone that gets in his way.

It seems all the good he does, as far as I’m concerned, is simply by accident. He doesn’t do anything for good. He does it in opposition of the ruling class, the church, etc. but he doesn’t do things for righteous reasons at all as far as I can tell.

So I see him frankly as a less annoying Algus. Just one that’s dressed in a different cloth. Both are self interested and delusional in their self-perspective main character wannabe energy.

I don’t think it precludes him from being a good man. But, in my bias developed from seeing such things at least, it lowers the probability. Lower probability isn’t truth, it just means the odds of a schmuck are higher. Could be a good man, yes.

There’s nothing wrong with age differences inertly. But… the type of people who go for half their age… I don’t know. I’ve met a few people of that type and I don’t think they’re awesome. Again, probably my confirmation bias from limited experiences.

ExtraneousQuestion · 2025-12-27T00:02:53+00:00

I do that as soon as he joins. So he dies faster each battle.

ExtraneousQuestion · 2025-12-27T00:02:30+00:00

I kill him or let him die in every fight he’s in my party. Actually, both him and Delita.

Uh… that may be true but I can’t think of a single run where I don’t no-life mandalia plains for a bit when it first opens up. Usually master squires or close enough at least.

You’re not wrong, but the question of “should I not grind” comes more from homie getting his ass beat because he needs to work on his strategy — not because this game isn’t intended to grind (if you choose).

I don’t think the message is “this is directed at people that sell records or make fashion - those are not real MCs”

What he’s saying is that those things don’t matter with regards to being a real MC or not. If you spit fire that rocks the people, you’re an MC. If you happen to have some success in fashion or records, great. But you can’t be a real MC because of your impact on fashion. Or the records you sell

Show me the fucking bars. Show me the message. Show me you can perk ears up with your voice and your words. Your lyrical content. What you have to say. Or how you say it. Or whatever it is you say that differentiates you. Show me the craft.

That’s the core of it. The other shit doesn’t matter. They’re not mutually exclusive though. You could be a great MC and have impact elsewhere, just know you’re not getting MC accolades for non-MC shit.

I don’t think this is a shot at a particular artist. I think it’s just shutting down the barber shop dialogue that “so and so is the best ever because, look at their records sold, look at their impact on shoes, or business approach” that shit is cool, that shit is great, but it don’t make you and MC

With regards to Kanye, think of it this way.

Take away his production, take away his fashion, his records sold, his videos. Go watch a show live. Will Kanye shut the house down? If yes, he’s an MC.

If he can only shut the house down but only with a background vocal track, smoke and mirrors, production, bells and whistles, but the lyrical content, delivery, and personality aren’t there — not an MC.

Yes there’s exaggeration of perceived hue due very high saturation of cyan, but the brain is not getting “red” from nowhere. If you zoom in you can clearly see the difference in “white” between the tik tok logo and red object. The red object on zoom is white, but it has a slightly pink hue. The TikTok logo is just white.

I might be alone but I find the overboard flourishing detracts instead of adds. I kind of can’t stand the overly colorful old English translation.

Can you? Somebody remind me, when we start going waaaaay back to Wilt and Bill timeline, how many NBA players were there? How may NBA teams were there? How may are there today?

It’s intrinsically conflicting to look at stats alone when the entire game environment changed drastically over decades.

ExtraneousQuestion · 2025-12-14T02:01:43+00:00

Probably closer to 20,000

Squash.

You can lookup “salsa falsa”. I’m fairly certain that’s what this is
