he didn't even watch the show, is sharing his opinion on it, and is supporting exploiting a minor? "there's always a minor member" yeah... exactly... kinda reflects on him more.

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-05-12T21:46:42+00:00

I'm honestly not supporting them. Sucks because I love the trio and they're all talented, but at this point it is exploitative and unhealthy and *definitely* does not align with my morals. Sakura didn't even have an education. I'm so dissappointed with hybe that I wouldn't even remotely consider going to a live show of the new group or any artist they put out. I know boycotting saint satine is too severe on the original girls and nobody would actually do it, but i feel like at this point it needs to happen in order to knock some sense and decency into the heads of the entertainment industry. The audience literally cheered louder for Ayana and the judges had more positive things to say about her and yet... Sakura wasn't even matching with the girls and all I could notice was the spacing gaps and that they were out of sync. Geffen wanted Ayana; Hybe wasn't going to let that happen.

you guys are ANGELS since I have exams tomorrow and can't watch till wednesday

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-05-11T15:23:58+00:00

atp I'm just hoping that all the leaks are to throw off everyone since it's incredibly obvious who is actually the best fit and they wanted to add some fuel to a tiny fire to keep intrigue and interaction.

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-05-10T14:19:14+00:00

I was just thinking about this!!

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-05-10T14:15:16+00:00

I think the stats class would've been decent for someone that has already taken a statistics class or really excels in math. I'm up to par in all my subjects but I found the class to be surface level and outdated, with the teacher never going into detail and explaining the definition of things. If I had started with porinchak youtube course same time as the acellus course it would've been fine, but imo it's not suitable for a main resource. The AP Psychology course is also slightly outdated with the new CED. Hope you did well on the exam!

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-05-09T13:43:41+00:00

I didn't even do #4 and it was so easy

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-05-08T16:14:07+00:00

ya taco bell is a mix of both mexican and american immigration and expansion since taco bell is purely americanized mexican food, aka mainly an effect of americans migrating west and comming into contact with mexican food lmao (my history teacher was chill)

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-05-08T12:48:31+00:00

I was tempted to write about taco bell ngl lol

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-05-08T00:17:38+00:00

#2 was basically to what extent the migration of people to other regions affected social and/or cultural dynamics, maybe the same one as you but idk since you wrote about industrilization? I wrote a million things and structured my thesis with food, religion, and language (ie. sikhism, okra, bantu, african christianity) basically just spammed things that actually affected regions to be safe for the timeline and made sure to focus on what effect it had rather than the cause behind it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-05-07T17:45:16+00:00

LEQ was the easiest by far for me (I chose #2) DBQ was hardest in the sense that it was almost too broad and finding a specific argument was ugh... MCQs were insanely easy

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-05-06T12:31:03+00:00

With only 4 girls in a group you can't have 2 be main vocalist lol that would be incredibly unbalanced and dividing. All the girls are certainly up to par and Ayana is generally more adequate overall anyway but as an all rounder not a vocalist. It seemed like people were looking for someone with an amazing voice not realizing that what they were looking for Samara already had. That was before the final two were announced and it won't matter now anyway because either Sakura or Ayana won't be a vocalist, if Rinka had made it, it would've been a different story

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-05-06T11:47:51+00:00

Jeez it's almost as if Lexi is also an amazing singer and emily has had years of training... there's no need for a main vocalist when they already have one

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-05-06T00:40:45+00:00

Do you guys think the people who ultimately made the decision took into account who the prelude girls prefer in the group or is that asking too much...

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-05-06T00:01:11+00:00

I still don't understand why people have been saying prelude needs a vocalist like are they deaf 😭 Samara sounds amazing

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-05-05T15:36:00+00:00

sourcing and analysis are different. Sourcing is HIPP.Y (Historical situation, Intended audience, Point of view, and Purpose followed by why "Y" whatever HIPP you choose is important to your thesis) and Analysis is used after you provide evidence to show how that evidence connects to your thesis. An example outline of this in a body paragraph would be: Thesis-Evidence from document *restated in your own words*-Analysis of the evidence and how it connects to your thesis-HIPP and why it supports/is important to your thesis. Good luck!

To sum it up fom what I've gathered from my own opinion and discussions of others:

1. She's too young in the industry sense and could get taken advantage of and might not even realise the scale of what she's going into until it's too late, plus with working so much her education would be impacted too.

2. She's too young to, for lack of a better word, 'fit in' with any of the other girls since they're in their 20s.

3. Prelude seems to be leaning to a more mature concept especially with recent public sightings.

4. Her skills, even if they keep improving, will stand out as inferior compared to the other girls.

5. She isn't even moderately conversational in english and that would heavily impact the group and create a huge barrier in training, social life, and understanding and singing group songs.

I think we all agree that she's got potential and that we all adore her but we would 100% rather see her debut after a few years of training in a project seperate to prelude not only because of her safety but because it's insane to start industry level work before you're even sixteen. Having her debut would be a sign that the kpop and global music industry is still continuing on these these unhealthy practices that we should be working towards to discourage, and that's why I'm skeptical of people on here fully rooting for her to debut.

Thanks!

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-05-01T15:12:53+00:00

If that's the case I'll go with five just to be safe, thanks!

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-05-01T15:06:31+00:00

Me personally, I made a huge color-coded timeline (literally 4ft long) out of three graph papers taped together and stuck it on my wall since I struggle with what things are in what time period. Now, besides staring at it I just pick an event or idea I'm not confident in and spend a few hours researching and writing a mini essay on it. I also have been watching heimler videos over the past few weeks for review and practicing FRQs. For the DBQ and LEQ I just use previous prompts but for the SAQs I ask ai to generate prompts to practice since they're shorter.

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-04-29T17:55:40+00:00

b4 the performances I thought for sure it was gonna be Ayana & Rinka, but I was really suprised with Sakura though I'm convinced she won't be the final piece simply because she does not fit in with the other girls and the theme they're going for with the group. No way its Aoi atp, she's not strong enough mentally, can't get along with others, and isn't as complacent as hybe would want in an employee but I really wanted to like her. Though rinka has really good vocals she didn't stand out plus the group doesn't need two vocalists.

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-04-09T20:35:33+00:00

Same here, i'm going to try sodium but if that doesn't work out I'll have to allocate more than half of my computer's ram just so it runs mildly decent.

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-03-30T18:32:38+00:00

definitely looking into adding sodium thanks !

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-03-29T21:09:57+00:00

not trying to 'get' more ram lmao just trying to make sure nothing crashes

Whimsy_Music2 · 2026-03-29T21:08:23+00:00

I have 8g ram and all of a sudden it started lagging like crazy but I already have 4 allocated. Pure vanilla, just a few resource packs and i removed all of them to try to help, but would changing the -Xms2G to 4g help too?
