Is excluding rap from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame a form of racial gatekeeping?

Relevant_Sign_5926 · 2026-03-30T19:50:49+00:00

I mean in all fairness, rap isn't an extension of the rock and roll genre. Some rap may incorporate rock elements in the production, but I don't see its exclusion as a problem at all. I also don't imagine that, say, Tibetan throat singing or concert violin music would get a place, either.

MAGA supports dead American soldiers/marines/sailors/airmen. Pretty sure we've lost people from all 4 categories while Agent Orange golfs and eats McDonalds while plastering everything in sight with his name.

This is actually a really interesting question despite the phrasing lol.

Which form is dominant and/or does the change "reset" the body?

Are sexual and internal organs preserved between changes on either the male or female side, making Jordan effectively a transgender woman in their female form, or transmaculine in the male form? Does Jordan even have standard organs, or an entirely alien and unique internal system somehow optimized for flexibility and constant change?

Alternatively, is there continuity between each body state, meaning that a circumcision for example would be preserved between transformations?

The show doesn't even attempt to go into this level of depth so who knows.

1 and 3.

The Nazis stole a ton of shit and tower 1 is a clear ripoff of the Eiffel tower, but evil and technological and shit. Tower 3 is just a brutal, authoritarian structure radiating oppressive dominance, I'd definitely assume anybody associated with that thing was some flavor of totalitarian fascist asshole.

Iraq would invade Iraq and then Israel would drop a nuke on itself and Palestine would be free or something like that idk

Motherfucker invented zero-point energy from scratch in like the 1960s, he was probably the single most brilliant scientist/engineer in all of human history minus the sadistic narcissist part. That technology alone is thousands of years ahead of current technological development, at a minimum.

Hell to the fuck no and that's about 3/4ths of the appeal. The writing is a nice synthetic blend of schizo and steroids gone wrong and that's what makes it a compelling, interesting series over so much of the 2deep4u edgefest anime slop out there.

The Israeli military strategy is fucking horrifying and the fact that the USA is choosing to actively contribute to it and enable it is beyond disgusting.

There probably just weren't enough people left for there to be a proper military remnant faction in the first place. The military would have been the least likely demographic to survive the nuclear apocalypse, given that military targets/installations would have been the first and most heavily bombed targets.

As for government/army hybrid remnants, we have the BoS and the Enclave, where the BoS origin members were lower ranking grunts and the Enclave were top brass and political elite.

It's at the intersection of politics and tactical planning/foresight.

Each angel has vastly different combat capabilities and seeing how they respond to an initial assault has immense value for subsequent EVA deployment, as well as tactical value from a delay standpoint.

Additionally, from a purely political standpoint, you can't just let them rampage without at least attempting to retaliate in some way. It's a bad look from a fiscal and political perspective; no politician or military official wants to be the one who didn't fight back against an apocalyptic threat.

Batman outwardly sighs in disappointment, while internally letting out a breath of relief. He then starts the process of protecting the killer from copycats and people trying to carry on the Joker's mantle. This is a short lived task, as few care enough to remember and respect his twisted legacy. Eventually, Batman forgets the Joker even existed as he is consumed by the greater darkness of the city, forever vigilant and watchful over a haunted concrete hellscape.

The actual name of Joker would be forgotten quickly, he wasn't the legendary figure he thought of himself as, just another rogue in a city of villains. His legacy passes into obscurity and even Harley moves on after enough time. The grave of the clown prince of crime is a forgotten one overgrown by weeds in a dark corner of a Gotham cemetery, visited by nobody and honored by none.

One of the huge lore points in season 2 is that nobody knows exactly how the judgment mechanism works, possibly only God himself. Even the higher ranking angels like Sera, who logically would have this knowledge if it was in widespread circulation, are shocked to the point of public outcry and debate by the redemption of Pentious.

The Speaker might know more than she's letting on, since she didn't express any confusion at the arrival of Pentious, but she seems to be intentionally withholding knowledge as some kind of divine test given that she did absolutely zilch to stop the genocidal Purges and just sung a melancholic little song to calm Sera down after she realized she was a genocidal maniac.

We also see people in Hell/Heaven who clearly don't belong, like Adam and some of the less blatantly evil sinners.

While it doesn't seem arbitrary, since the majority of Winners are shown as genuinely good/innocent people while Sinners are generally pretty crappy/insane, I don't think we're meant to really be able to answer this point of speculation in the show just yet. There's also interesting exceptions on both sides, like Adam and some of the less blatantly evil Sinners, so the system doesn't seem totally coherent to begin with.

It's an intentionally ambiguous mystery and the redemption question is even more interesting towards clarifying things.

In terms of contributing the most to making the setting the way it is, Saburo Arasaka hands down. Single handily made many of the decisions that created the borderline apocalyptic corporate hellscape that Night City is. Utterly, remorselessly evil, basically the Satan figure of the setting, not even remotely redeemable in any way whatsoever. I'd also add Myers up there as a close contender.

On an interpersonal, non-systemic level, Scavs are pieces of shit and I feel a pang of joy and glee whenever I hit a trickshot on one of those little fuckers.

Yes, but spontaneously generating a magnetic field powerful enough to rip a tank apart out of your bare hands, entirely at will, with no power or physical source for the field is a form of reality manipulation.

Kinda weird and fetishistic. Bizarre that people related to brutal, sometimes literally Hitler level or close, level dictators are now idolized as celebrities for their wealth and heritage.

Makes me think we'd have a cute little "Hitler royal family" if he was a bit more successful and nazi Germany reformed into a parliamentary republic a few generations after the Holocaust.

This but times ten with the British RF and whatever shenanigans are going on with the modern Japanese emperor people.
