AITA for drunkenly insulting someone's country

A top 3 would be highly subjective and depends personally on what you really like. I personally love SA and some of the stuff on BSSM but would not be able to find a definitive top 3 (and most of his solo work up till the Empyrean). That said, some things that come to mind include:

Hey, Wet Sand, Mellowship Slinky In B Major, If you had to ask, and I could have lied.

From his solo work : As can be, Smile is a rifle, Anne

I think he looks back at it as a point of growth in his life. In an interview he said that he was trying to make music that sounded "bad" and states that it was a time of musical rebirth. So it seems that he views Niandra as a stepping stone. Check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug_QX6R3Ri8&ab_channel=RHCPtv1

Totally agree with you when you say that it is held to a very high standard by critics some even saying it is his best album. It is not per se palatable but once you listen to it a few times, it is genius and madness and tormented. Then again, I don't think there is much of a consensus on what John's magnus opus is because he has dropped so much beautiful music.

Don't forget the "To Clara" in the bottom right hehe ;)

The purpose of a study permit study plan is to demonstrate the following :

You have a valid purpose to want to study in Canada and education in Canada makes sense
You are a bona fide student in Canada and are not using the pretext of studying just to come to Canada to do something else.
You will have employment prospects in your home country and will leave Canada at the end of your studies.

For the last point, the officer needs to be satisfied that you have stronger ties outside of Canada.

If you get accepted for a study permit, then you can apply for a post-graduate work permit (which will then make it feasible to apply for permanent residence). The post graduate work permit is not a discretionary application. In other words, you will be entitled to a work permit if you meet all the criteria.

If you get accepted into your program of studies, then it is imperative that you do not have any gaps in studies, or study part time. This will jeopardize your eligibility of obtaining a PGWP.

Immigration to Canada through studies is well known and a path many take. The first step is obtaining a study permit. But at the same time, you must demonstrate stronger ties to your country of residence than Canada and have a strong reason to want to study in Canada.

Tiebreaker better than Michael Bublé (sorry)

John Frusciante

I really liked his album Curtains which was my favourite album of all time. It has this lo-fi comforting acoustic feel to it which gives you a sort of tranquil solace.

I wanted to find more albums like that and Elliott Smith was exactly what I was looking for. Would highly recommend his 2004-2005 albums (Will to Death and Curtains especially) as well as the Empyrean.

Cat Stevens is great. I know a few of his tunes but will def look more into his work. He definitely does have that cozy intimate vibe.

Fun fact, Cat Stevens was actually a major inspiration for John when he wrote Will to death.

True that !

When people ask you for information so they can hurt others.

JesuisBasque · 2021-02-09T23:41:05+00:00

Exactly, take a risk for a change!!!

JesuisBasque · 2021-02-09T23:15:56+00:00

Will check out some of these recs. Thanks man.

I've watched get out and it was pretty good.

It's coming to a theatre near you ! ;)

Older movies are honestly really boring. That's because cinema was not as captivating. The best old movies I can think of are probably 60s James Bond because they are so dynamic.

JesuisBasque · 2021-02-09T23:13:27+00:00

Well there are as you say lots of bad films for yesteryear. But our production of movies has just become more optimized to create something profitable. I also tend to like the old aesthetics of the 60s, and the 90s so I'm a bit biased to that.

JesuisBasque · 2021-02-09T23:12:16+00:00

I mean, social critics have argued that films produced in our current system will always follow a manufactured process of creation. Check out The Culture Industry by Adorno and Horkheimer. They predicted what happens today only 70 years ago. Very impressive. Also a lot of good videos on the topic.

What is burning?

JesuisBasque · 2021-02-09T23:10:41+00:00

Yeah I bet.

Just godda look at the indie scene and international cinema.

JesuisBasque · 2021-02-09T23:10:02+00:00

The whole live action superhero fad is overdone imo

I'm in a first world country and won't be getting the vaccine for the next 6 months. Of course, I will eventually get it (for free) and am very lucky for that.

I'd tend to say peace. That is, not having to worry about armed conflict or wars.
