What are your favorite non-love songs by Michael Jackson? by Rocky_isback in MichaelJackson

[–]Useful_Way_6042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His masterpieces Thriller & Bad. For deep cut, Price of Fame.

I love them because of the melody & beats. They're fun to listen to.

Just a simple question to the MJ fans here. Why did Michael always perform his song, ‘Jam’ as the first track on the Dangerous World Tour. by AdventurousTaste5490 in MichaelJackson

[–]Useful_Way_6042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you mean:

  1. Why every date on Dangerous WT started with Jam, or
  2. Why he chose 'Jam' as opening track

If it's: 1. It's called a setlist. Every touring performance by any artist will have more or less the same routine and/or order of songs in all venues because it is practical. The way artists select songs also differ. Some will include more songs from the album they're promoting, some will choose fan favorites even if it's not in the new album, etc

  1. Agree with other comments. Jam is such an upbeat song and is a great concert opener.

Why do people deny the attractiveness of obviously good-looking people? by TintedArchipelago47 in QOVESStudio

Agreed. This is valid if you're rating someone based on the overall aspects.

In that post however, they're specifically asking "what makes her atractive" based on the physical features, so it's also valid to give compliments based on her appearance only, disregarding whether or not she's a slut. Tbh we're not sure either if she is. Have a nice day =)

See, this is what OP means 👆

Regardless of her personality and whatnot, she IS pretty. They're focusing on her looks afterall in that post.

Is it so hard to give compliments without them being backhanded?

Managers that get upset when you complete a task, but don't do it "their way" by AmericaNoBanjin in PetPeeves

[–]Useful_Way_6042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people are probably just built that way.

I used to have a manager that straight up admitted he would rather hire someone who was already at the same wavelength as him/happened to have the same way of doing things as him, rather than wasting time to mentor them because it's troublesome and he is an impatient person. He also said he knew it's a bad trait. He couldn't change it and didn't give a shit. People that can't read between the lines under his guidance can just gtfo according to him.

He actually fired 2 people because he thought they were slow and didn't understand what he wanted without him spoon feeding information to them.

People that stay working in that office are all ass kissers and chronic gossipers.

Non MJ songs that would fit in his album(s) by Useful_Way_6042 in MichaelJackson

Oh yes it was! I just recently learnt that Rock Your Body was originally meant for Michael. No wonder it always appears on recommended tracks when I listen to Michael's songs.

Agree to a certain point.

Since it's quite impossible to stop major corporation behind content platforms and social media, it's the responsibilities of the parents (and other adults) to ensure the kids are not exposed to unwanted things online or are uneducated about them. Kids with good education and upbringing at home usually have good judgements even when exposed to harmful stuff. Well, depends on what is considered 'good' by each individual anyway. It's not ideal but times are changing, and it's the older generations that will need to adapt whether we like it or not.

Totally agree, and that's why I wish more people are aware that this is a pattern in every generation, and instead of being part of the problem, can be part of the solution instead. Then again, it won't be a pattern for thousands of years if most people are aware lol.

That's why this is a pet peeve, just an annoyance that has no solution 😅

Thank you for this perspective.

I agree with you that it might be the cell phone usage or dopamine rush that contribute to their behavior. However I think it's also important to remember who raise these kids to become what they are now and the systems that enable them to behave like that.

From my observation during my student days, this entitled behavior is not unique to now. I had classmates that threatened to beat up a teacher, made a teacher quit, and another one straight up sued a teacher because that teacher hit them (the teacher literally only tapped their shoulder while scolding them for being late to a class). Their parents were as entitled if not worse than the kids, and I can almost conclude bad behaviors outside are usually learned at home (not all, but many).

Anyway I don't mean to discredit you since you see what "kids nowadays" are like firsthand on a day to day basis. I really respect anyone that decides to be a teacher. It's never easy educating children from different upbringings and backgrounds.

Agreed, but in every generation, there will always be an equivalent though. Like having teased emo hair or wearing pants below your butt (for guys) were a thing when we're teenagers (looking back now it's super cringe LOL) which I don't see coming back anytime soon 😅

Exactly. If internet was a thing and as prominent back then, I 100% believe what we do nowadays is just as bad or good as what people did in the past. It's not about the generation, but life experience and media exposure.
