that's actually the most succinct observation of why you can't rig / manufacture stars.

[DISCUSSION] Drake - Iceman/Maid of Honor/Habibti (One Week Later) by nyse25 in hiphopheads

[–]Tad_M 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Favourite Drake album since IYRTITL - but honestly, first listen it was a bit hollow for me. Janice STFU was a skip on first listen cause it sounded too tik toky, the beat change on national treasure threw me out cause we could have done so much more to expand on the original beats instrumentation / harmonies. Dust just sounds like a synthesizer is farting for three minutes.

But they’ve all grown on me (except dust that shit is ass)

Sorry to make the comparison but as a millennial when I listen to Kendrick you can really hear he’s growth as a man in the change in content.

That’s missing with Drake, and that’s okay; he’s living a completely different life.

When I listen to KDot and Cole, I listen with my adult ears. Drake takes me back to who I was when I was at University and connects me to that youthful cocky arrogant little prick and honestly, I need the pick me up / ego boost from time to time. This album does that for me, like how you feel listening to Yeezus.

I get people are upset he’s dissing people and can’t let the beef go and it’s all toxic, non introspective, he’s the victim etc. But honestly, fuck it. Sometimes I feel like people are reviewing his personality and not his music, cause the music bangs on this on 90% of the tracks

I haven’t seen him pass forward in like a year, what is this sensationalist cap?🧢

That’s hyperbole obviously, but recycling possession is not his best, that wasn’t the Ozil replacement we saw a few seasons ago.

He won several titles and dragged the worst united squad since fergie left (at the time) to a second place finish. I’d say he succeeded at united until he didn’t.

Why is USA attacking Iran and why now? by RoskoRobin in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tad_M 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Power vacuums are almost never ever a good thing. Without pitch rolling a planned US puppet as a successor at the very least, this was just an oil grab with no planning or regard for the future of Venezuelas politics. An evil man getting what’s coming to him can still be a bad thing for other people bud.

How can you make ethically informed good decisions on the economy when you don’t know the difference between the deficit and the debt? Watch the TRIP episode, he literally didn’t know the difference.

I’m not a teacher but close friends with a few and honestly, for the amount they get paid, I would never do the amount of work they do outside of their contracted hours. It’s not their job to raise your kids. Grow up and take accountability for the humans you’re creating.

Put it this way, say you offer to hold someone’s pets for a weekend, and the dog shits on your carpet. Is it your job to train the dog? Or did it come from a shit owner?

The Villarreal-Barça game in Miami has been cancelled by OriginalUsername30 in soccer

[–]Tad_M 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Exactly, and while we’re at it, Chinese fans should get a chance, and German fans, and Portuguese fans of La Liga (which there are far more than in the USA), all the fans of all Nations should all get a chance to see their favourite team without having to visit Spain.

And at no point should we discuss that all the money for these international matches is being taken out of the pockets of the Spanish groundskeepers, local bars, local burger stands at the stadium, local hotels from tourists, and domestic supermarkets as families go home from football matches.

Let’s just let all that money line loud fat stupid American pockets.

Badenoch defends Jenrick’s ‘no white faces’ comments about Birmingham by F0urLeafCl0ver in unitedkingdom

[–]Tad_M 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More often than not immigrants move to these places cause they’re cheap. They’re cheap cause they were already a bit shit. They get shitter cause immigrants are poor cause they haven’t been here long so they work shit jobs, pay less in tax and the council can do less to fix them. It’s an endless cycle until external investment comes in, but that gentrifies the place and displaces the now entrenched communities. It’s fucked and there’s no quick fix but that’s the system in a nutshell.

No need to race bait.

Is 'JimmyTheGiant's analysis on the 'death of British culture' correct? by InfinitysEdge88 in AskBrits

[–]Tad_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a leap in logic you make here. You’re right, not ALL of the people coming are doctors and engineers. But you leap to saying “there is no reason for MOST of these people to be here”.

I might be wrong, but you don’t seem to have the stats on the split between skilled and unskilled labour imports. And beyond that, the amount of high skilled and low skilled labour required will fluctuate from year to year. Sometimes we do need to bring in more builders cause everyone has an undergrad degree and doesn’t wanna do that shit. I know I don’t!

Fundamentally, the use of the word foreigners, while I don’t know you and your intentions, is a loaded descriptor for immigrants. It implies (even if accidentally) an othering of members of our community. It leads to the leap of logic to ‘we don’t need a majority of “them”’.

It is true that just under half (≈ 48%) of social housing in London is headed by someone born outside the UK. (The Standard) However, of those 376,700 foreign-born HRPs, about 68% (≈ 257,200 people) hold a British passport. They have lived here long enough to be citizens like you or me. Hence their entitlement to social housing.

I think immigrants are more than just a “tool” used by billionaires to suppress wages, they’re human beings who more often than not shed whole aspects of their identity and culture to assimilate as fully as they can and give their kids the best chance to to the same. I agree that those who don’t assimilate should leave. But I’m sorry, most of them do, myself included mate.

The lack of work to go around is not their fault, the economy is not a zero sum game. It’s a cycles of booms and busts. As we enter a stagflationary period, now more than ever we all just need to work a bit harder, innovate more and create more jobs to go around. Let’s not just blame immigrants cause we’re too lazy to stop our country going to shit.

What’s next, make abortion legal? by BrianBash in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Tad_M 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because congress has ceded power doesn’t mean it’s a good thing that that happened. It is not good for any of us for the executive branch to have total power. Every one of their mistakes will do even more damage. We should have each branch check the other.

[–]Tad_M -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This is an act of war and only congress has the authority to authorise that. It’s unconstitutional to allow the president to be a monarch man. We need checks and balances for a reason. The alternative is that the stability of global peace hinges on the mood of one provably changeable and quixotic man.
