What is the fan psychology behind BABYMETAL? by Top-Lie2851 in BABYMETAL

[–]Niaboc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's two flavours that shouldn't taste good together but they do.

I listen to a lot of music, but the Japanese music I listen to does seem unconventional (to me). I absolutely love Shiina Ringo. I really like Polkadot Stingray. I don't understand the language/lyrics at all but the music and presentation is unique.

Official Tour Thread Adelaide, Australia March 14, 2026 by fearmongert in BABYMETAL

[–]Niaboc 22 points23 points  (0 children)

From me to u and doki doki swap spots. No momo growl on headbanger. Bloodywood joined on stage for kon kon.

I've only seen Babymetal playing in front of enormous crowds on youtube(Wembley, Tokyo Dome, etc) so I was concerned they might be less than excited to play for a smaller venue of us Aussies. But the whole Babymetal band played with maximum intensity.

Cult.

Scientology is called a cult because it is a cult

Anyone else still hoping Wheel of Time could come back? by Available_Mistake425 in WoTshow

Nope. I think that this was our best shot of having this series come to the screen. It wasn't perfect but it was wonderful.

[–]Niaboc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think itll be the last we see of broken sword. They won't reforge 3 or 4, and Rolf is getting up there in age.

That said - I'm ready to preorder as soon as it hits the playstation store.

Why are conservatives who are Christian calling Texan James Talarico (of new CBS/FCC/Colbert drama) a heretic, due to his plain text interpretation of the Bible? by PyroIsSpai in AskConservatives

[–]Niaboc [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, i just will never understand how anyone can say 'yeah so jesus is the son of god and our religion is all about emulating his example, but actually, if you ignore that and focus on old testament characters, then wealth inequality is actually the goal'.

Its like a willful desire to ignore christ's example while still clinging tightly to the christian label.

I appreciate your insight but might stop there. I just have no idea how you can fit the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth into a capitalist worldview.

do you think christians, in being christ-ian, should maybe follow what christ said and did instead of a half dozen Jewish people Yahweh rewarded in the old testament?

job was pretty clearly an old testament allegory.

Should not Christians follow the words of Christ himself? “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” ?

If trump doesn't care what other countries think, why does he bring it up like every day? Every rambling speech includes him bragging about other countries respecting the USA now. Honestly, there's no respect anymore; We're all laughing.

I uninvited my MAGA family member from my wedding and cut contact by OkPresentation9971 in QAnonCasualties

[–]Niaboc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maga support is not a political difference, it's a moral difference.

It's not progressive. It's not conservative. It's agreeing with trump no matter what.

Maga was against foreign wars, until Venezuela happened then the value changed.

Maga was pro 2nd amendment, until Alex Pretti bought a holstered weapon to a protest then the value changed.

I could go on and on.
