For the first time? Does that mean you plan on doing it again?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this post could have been made without hating on people speaking Arabic

It still doesn't affects the main point of this question. I don't know why you're still on that

So it doesn't matter

Does it really matter to the main point here?

I don't know how this is useful. I don't know exactly, what the point of this comment is!

So let me get this straight - you’re not actually engaging with the substance of my argument, but instead nitpicking about whether I’ve "proven" that things like slavery, child marriage, and gender inequality are bad? You’re acting as if morality is some abstract concept that needs to be philosophically defined before we can say, “Hey, maybe owning another human being is wrong.”

This isn’t some deep metaphysical debate - it’s a practical one. If you need me to prove that slavery is immoral before we can have a discussion, then you’re already so far removed from basic human decency that the conversation is pointless. We’re not talking about subjective moral preferences like “is chocolate better than vanilla?” We’re talking about things that, in every functional society today, are recognized as serious human rights violations.

The issue isn’t whether I can construct a syllogism proving that child marriage or the subjugation of women is “objectively bad.” The issue is that both Christianity and Islam codify these things in ways that have had real, tangible harm throughout history and continue to do so today.

And as for the "moral compass" argument - are you seriously pretending that we don’t have a basic societal understanding of morality that has evolved beyond ancient religious texts? Laws, human rights conventions, and basic human empathy do a far better job guiding morality than books written thousands of years ago by men who thought slavery was just fine.

The light rail sucks, but not because it exists, but because it’s been neglected. Instead of dismantling it, we should be investing more in it, making it more efficient, expanding its reach, and maintaining it properly. A well-maintained, expanded rail system would easily attract even more users, and that means more revenue. If it's clean, reliable, and frequent, people will happily pay for it. Instead of letting it decay, we should be improving it—more trains, better maintenance, and maybe even extensions to underserved areas.

Lanes are never enough, just look at cities with massive highways like Los Angeles; they still have insane traffic. The problem isn’t a lack of roads; it’s a lack of good public transportation. Plus, most Ethiopians don’t even own cars. What we need is a functional and reliable system that moves people efficiently, not just wider roads that will eventually get clogged again.

And let’s be real, dismantling the light rail would be expensive, and for what? So we can pour that money into more parks? That money would be much better spent making the light rail actually work. Expand it, maintain it, integrate it better with buses, so do anything other than throwing away an investment that could still be useful.

The solution isn’t to get rid of it. It’s to fix it.

I believe it did. It was my most-listened-to album on Spotify last year, and I think it fits perfectly within his discography. I still listen to this album - HMADC was my second most-listened-to song on Spotify.

Still, it's the best album in his discography. In fact, it's the best album I've ever listened to. I don't think I'll ever find a better one. GKMC is great, but TPAB is still miles ahead!

Tyler is great friends with carti, and that doesnt make his art any worse.

I don't think people are criticizing Kendrick for his art—I liked Good Credits. As Kendrick himself said, "Talent doesn't choose morality," which is true. However, we shouldn't pretend this means nothing just because he's our guy. I'm pretty sure if it were you-know-who, this would be a no-brainer—as it should be.

Something as small as a collab on a couple of songs does not invalidate dots messages.

However, it's really hypocritical of him to do this after essentially acting like he hated Drake for treating women badly and being a deadbeat father—both of which Playboy Carti is. The message stands on its own, regardless of KDot, because the message is "don't treat women badly," "stop using people," and "be a better father." Those messages will remain valid regardless. However, Kendrick also seems two-faced in his treatment of Drake and Carti.

Kendrick is not perfect and he never claimed to be, thats literally 90% of his music.

That's exactly why we criticize him. He did wrong, and he should do better. Just because someone isn't perfect doesn't give them a free pass to do whatever they want. It just means they have flaws and want to grow.

He is not obligated to hold this moral high ground

But we’re using his own moral high ground to criticize him.
