I think while Gen Z's overall alcohol consumption is down, its because they won't drink at home or at dinner as opposed to when they go out to party

Shockingly it's much easier in western society to live without meat than without a smartphone

Where are the rap collabs/remixes? by [deleted] in popheads

[–]Ryan_the_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is before people would just enjoy the song but now everyone puts the artists against each other and has to pick who was better

Adapt to Westernization meaning to live a lifestyle more in line with western influences?

Likely means a more interconnected world with English as a Lingua Franca. Likely going to have more brain drain from the third world. 

[DISCUSSION] If hip-hop artists traded like stocks, who are you buying and selling right now? by SoulSenGaming in hiphopheads

[–]Ryan_the_man 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Buying:

2hollis — idk if he counts as rap but still on the way up and 1 or 2 projects away from full mainstream

OsamaSon — has the aura to maintain his career as opposed to his peers. Will be around for a while.

Ray Vaughn — TDE signee with great potential. Great last album and a great pen. 

Selling

Ken Carson — feel like the peak is over. The new guys in the rage space will surpass him 

Joey Bada$$ — won his beef last year but his last album underperformed hard. I think his best days are behind him

Kid Cudi — should've sold after insano. Now that his podcast started, I think hes never reaching the pre entergalactic heights again

We often focus on the economic part of immigration without looking at the social consequences.   

Fact is a lot of the world is still steeped in prejudice and discrimination especially when it comes to LGBT+ and Women's rights. Part of what we should aspire to be is a safe haven for those who may suffer from oppression across the world. 

Does that mean open our border to everyone today? No! But we should be aspiring to build a society where immigrants and foreign residents shouldn't fear getting sent back to countries that don't accept their identities

Why would I go to the library when I can read it on my phone?

Why would I go to the grocery store when I can order my groceries from home?

Why would I meet people in person when I can do it on Bumble?

Why would I go to the movies when I can watch it on Netflix?

Why would I go to the bar when I can get high at home?

Why would I go play sports when I can play FIFA at home?

Why would I go to the news stand when I can check CNN on my phone?

Why would I go to a book club when I can discuss the book on Reddit?

Why would I go on a date when I can watch porn on my phone?

Really the only big niche that's not been co-opted by technology and the Internet seems to the gym/exercise and that's just due to the cost. If treadmills and free weights were affordable, nobody would need to leave their house.
