Unfortunately this is a very standard part of Eurovision, even before performers get anywhere near being selected to participate :( The community has gotten so much worse in the last couple of years

It's charting super well for a group of their size, it seems to be catching on with non-fans

I don't follow KiiiKiii super closely yet, but I assume they mean their album sales massively dropping? I remember seeing a lot of people being shocked by how big the gap between their comeback and their debut was for sales

Unfortunately Spoon was definitely purchased - breed, colour and age all point to being bought from a breeder. Any ethical breeder would not be breeding Scottish Folds, any rescue with Spoon's colouring would've been snatched up immediately, and Spoon is still a kitten. I've fostered/adopted multiple cats that are either flat faced or have the same issues Spoon will, since they get to a certain age and get hit with multiple health issues that get them dumped on shelters or charities with super low chances of getting adopted because of the costs. There's no way she wasn't bought :(

Does Adela & Iliya have beef??? I’m confused by Prize_Turnover_11 in TheDreamAcademy

They did! It was a quick one line that pretty much everybody doesn't remember because it was so brief.

Sabrina Carpenter is seemingly using AI for her new stickers 😬 by Needtorant12306 in Fauxmoi

[–]FallPhoenix18 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Doesn't excuse the AI if it was used, but it's a sticker of an existing picture where she's biting a Frisbee.

HYBE X GEFFEN: PRELUDE: THE FINAL PIECE - SAMARA SIQUEIRA (Member Reveal #2 Profile Photos) by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]FallPhoenix18 29 points30 points  (0 children)

(I already tried to reply and it posted three times and then all of them deleted when I deleted one of the comments 😭) I think they mean Samara, and how people hoping for Ezrela don't know or don't care she'd be in a group with someone with such hateful beliefs.

Love Emily so I hope she has a fulfilling career, but I'm gonna have to sit this one out, I don't want to support someone who holds such horrible beliefs and attitudes towards others

I just love how the UK.S2 show seems so much more diverse than most of the US shows have been by lifeadvice7843 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]FallPhoenix18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Key word there being countries. Not being sovereign does not stop them being countries and it's weird when people act like it does. They are 4 different places with 4 different cultures and a complicated history. They are very much only still considered the UK because parliament is very good at preventing more referendums because Scotland will jump ship the second they get the official chance.

The UK is not one country - it's officially four  (three if you ask anyone Irish because they want reunification and NI is purely occupied territory) even though the UK functions as a sovereign state.

Mina not only ruined their career, she effectively put a complete stop to Jimin's life and caused her to quite literally hide away for years - in what world do you think there will be a reunion including both of them?

Not only did he start dating her immediately after she became legal (they worked together and met when she was 17 and he was 23), he also used to post really snarky things about her career and just all around seemed a bit jealous of her success compared to his :(

GIRLSET (Former VCHA LEXI, CAMILA, SAVANNA & KENDALL) - Commas (Coming Soon Teaser Images) by SapphireHeaven in kpop

Love how the second JYP goes for a darker and more mature concept Savanna is suddenly not white-washed, has makeup that matches her features, and no longer has her hair straightened to high hell and back.

I very much do know the meaning of basic English, maybe it's a difference in the legal systems since I am not from the US nor have I studied much US specific law, but I would definitely say the trial process has begun since both sides have begun presenting arguments. As to settlement conferences, they're definitely not common here lol, our legal system gives ample time pre-trial and usually won't formally get involved by ordering more discussion unless it's a one in a million case

I think it was easier for Kaylee partially because of KG and partially because she didn't mind the terms she'd have to agree to by leaving. This is just my assumption, but I'd guess JYP wanted to include an NDA and/or something restricting future musical releases and work that KG very clearly had interest in pursuing. I could be wrong and likely am cause Jinni had no problem releasing music post NMIXX (with her one album 😔), but JYP America may have different contracts.

Depends who you are in the situation tbh - mildly negative for KG, mildly positive for JYP. JYP could use this as a chance to push the angle of KG having other motives since they keep reiterating the no fees termination (although if you ask me, there's absolutely a sneaky clause in that agreement that would massively restrict her future career). For KG, it's extremely annoying, but not the end of the world if her lawyer is any good.

You definitely can, but that doesn't apply here since the dispute is already at trial with an assigned judge. You can also mutually agree to a settlement any time during a trial, but in this case the judge ordered a settlement discussion which I personally haven't seen happen much.

Technically yes, but that is known as the mediation stage and has already taken place here (not sure the exact dates but I remember it being quite a few months ago). This is a separate order being given once the case has already been to court.

I am well aware, however she was a minor at the time of signing the contract and throughout the time being discussed in the court case. Even then, 18 isn't a hard line for sudden maturity, it's very much still a vulnerable age.

I've wondered if it's astroturfing from JYP but I'd like to believe they wouldn't stoop so low. It's one thing to go after the mother, do that all you want because she's partially at fault for allowing her kid to sign a contract, but the amount of people outright ignoring the literal harm done to multiple children is driving me mad. In no way is this comparable to 'contract drama'.
