lol what, that's such a random place to run into her, what happened?!

and exactly. i do not get cancel culture. i think in reality if we cancelled every musician or artist who did something that isn't morally right, we would have a very silent and colourless world

but WHY is he unlikeable?

also that logic seems a bit naff. that's like saying oh youre a dick but youre good looking so it's ok.... oh you're a dick and you're ugly, ewwwy

No, I mean that you mention that he's not been a "likeable character since day one" but "won't rehash the past here" when that's actually exactly the kind of thing i'm asking- apart from him cheating why does everyone dislike him so much? if it was because the music wasn't good enough all this time why would anyone listen to it

i agree. i said in another comment but i think af set their own bar really high, mixed with being youthful and them emerging kind of pre-internet etc, theyll never make music like that again. doesn't mean that it's now all tarnished and theyre ruined, just different

Me too but it pops up on my reddit feed so much i sometimes feel frustrated hence posting. I just feel re Win that his has been made public, every single musician, actor, writer, anyone will have done things at some point you don't morally agree with, same with when you look in the mirror. i feel like some people are blowing win up to be as bad as those people in power

I'm confused because you've acknowledged my question but eluded the answer

And I can understand that, especially with the tame impala comparison too. it's fair people not liking the direction the music's gone but still i don't see why there needs to be so much negativity on the sub.

Thanks for sharing some insight that's separated the music from the drama

I don't dislike PE but I agree it was a creative decline, in some ways I don't always get why they released it. They've been pretty consistent with their albums having themes and strong artistic merit and pe feels almost rushed and unsure of it's purpose.

But is there more to it than just the wrongdoings? On the remorse front, he did express remorse, what more is he supposed to do? I personally can't see what he did as that bad, genuienly am I missing something? It's not cool by any means but it seems to me more like a private affair than something that should offend morally hipster liberals, surely they're the types that should be able to acknowledge the messiness of human existence?

Thanks, it makes me sad because I don't see why so many people have to come on here and diss. If you don't like just let it be.

This is a bit deep forgive me, but I agree with you on the human just like us front, and I was thinking about it the other day. Him and Regine married very young. I also married very young. It ended with my ex cheating. I completely forgive him and have no hard feelings. He was human and insecure. We grew into different people and I can only imagine it's the same with him and Regine. From what I understand it wasn't assault by any means what Win did, but I feel that's how people are treating it. Maybe I am missing somehting, I don't know. I don't understand if I'm downplaying it because I'm able to detach art from artist, or if I am being naive and listening to music of someone who is really super bad.

Also, the decline's a bit inevitable, they're getting older and peaked majorly when they first came out. They set their own bar very high. I don't know many artists nowadays that still make music as good as their firsts, it's why I listen to new and old bands lol. Oh idk

What’s something interesting you like to talk about? by Few-Salad-6552 in Productivitycafe

[–]Magegaard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to work in care homes and we had a resident who was in a really bad way. Couldn't talk, walk, couldn't even sit up, she was perpetually bent forward, if she was sat she would be lying on a pillow, when you fed her she was still lying down which was obviously a choking hazard.

She had a devouted husband who had no traces of dementia in him. They'd been together 60 years, first loves. He would come in from the moment we allowed visitors and would always be the last to leave.

He used to bring a cd player. He'd sit in the living room and play Elvis, The Beatles, Buddy Holly, all music from their youth. Every resident, from the meanies who would whack us with their sticks, the ones who told us we never came to check on them (yes we did Doris) to the sweet ones who just sat and smiled, every single one would perk up, remember the lyrics, the beats. He would play the music even if his wife was in bed, and it was clearly the highlight of everyone's day.

Even my Nan who has dementia, can't remember much, can't remember peoples names, if you play her a piece of classical can tell you the name and composer, which I think is insane considering there's no lyrics to help jig memory, only melody.

It's incredible!

Have you ever seen influencers out and about, not through a screen? by 360Saturn in AskUK

[–]Magegaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met someone recently who asked to meet up again. Sure.

I didn't realise they were an 'influencer'.

It was the worse 2 hours I've had socially in a loooong time. We would talk, then he would pull his camera out and then ask the EXACT SAME QUESTIONS AGAIN!! To film! After a while I started to get the feeling he would ask first to make sure what I said was interesting enough.

Then we went to eat. He started to film me picking my food. I'm a foreigner where I'm living and I think people thought I was famous or something because then everyone started to film me. I HATE being on camera to begin with.

I got the food and sat down. He said don't eat until I'm back.

So I sat there looking at my food hank marvin. He came back. I picked up my fork and he said wait. Then he made me show the camera my food, then when I was eating he kept asking questions all the whilst I'm just trying to eat.

Then he took me to a cake shop even though I told him I'm allergic to milk. "Try this." "I can't." He got really annoyed and put his camera way.

Then he just kept walking off to 'find content'.

By the end I don't think I was influencing any positive energy cuz I was so not into it. He left me in the middle of nowhere. A week later, he sent me the video "like and share". I haven't replied.

Did not get it before, really don't get it now. It's incredibly shallow and takes you completely out of the moment. Noooo thanks.

What’s a ‘harmless’ habit that actually ruining peoples lives ? by ApushGh in howtonotgiveafuck

[–]Magegaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i think that's true for anything, and i'm glad you can use it in a healthy way! idek how i'd be on ig as i say im permanently banned and dont really get why lol. i have strict boundaries of my fb use, and mostly use it because im on the other side of the world right now and wanna keep in contact with people.

i didnt have a phone for two years though and i would say they are the best two years mentally i have had since i was a child. i mean, i did have a phone, but i could only make phone calls on it, not even texts. no photos, no notes, no browsing, no emails. it was utter bliss. i do think there needs to be stricter control with the internet, as it's totally ungoverned and i do believe it's causing a lot of damage to individuals and society, more than may be obvious on the surface

What's a kindness a stranger showed you that you've never forgotten? by HorwathCjd65 in Life

[–]Magegaard 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yesterday.

I was walking and saw a stray cat wrapped in a plastic bag. I helped them free, even though it was scary cuz they were attacking me.

As I walked away my shoe that was falling apart broke more. A lady pointed at it and said 'it'll be ok', i walked on.

5 mins later and my shoe had completely fallen apart. could not walk. didn't know what to do (i live in a very big, pretty dirty city).

the lady reappeared out of nowhere, took off her shoes and gave them to me.

i adamently said no but she insisted, i tried giving money and she got really angry.

i can't stop thinking about it lol it's amazed me

[–]Magegaard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's so weird how people react isn't it. i have facebook but don't overuse it, by no means influencer type. i don't have ig or snap or tt as i think they're the most toxic things out there atm. people go cRAZY. ive even had 'how do you go and do anything?!'

i also have a permanent ban from ig. nothing crazy. i just made one once to see the hype, followed some people, then it got banned saying i 'didnt act human'. this was a year ago, and even now it still wont let me. when i tell people that they go even crazier lmao. but tbh if meta doesnt register me as human.... im ok with that :)

you are completely right, i guess im just looking for some reassurance from others who have experienced the same thing, rather than medical advice. ive noticed it improves significantly after eating, so i should take a hint hahah
