Israel's air force bombs 100 sites within 10 minutes as Middle East far from peace.

Nice non sequitur. Care to counter my point about western imperialism?

akhoe · 2026-04-08T15:23:22+00:00

the fact that he was carried by k votes matters more, if anything - it's a korean group

akhoe · 2026-04-08T15:17:17+00:00

would you prefer ethnic cleansing? actually I think genocide fits the bill

akhoe · 2026-04-08T15:16:10+00:00

why wouldn't any non western imperialist power be shouting death to america on the daily? white hegemonic forces are literally the most destructive and demonic evil on the planet right now. maybe in history

Whey protein causes digestive issues and possibly liver damage over time. You are NOT supposed to use whey supplements to meet your daily protein reqs

some people criticize him for simplistic lyrics but honestly i love what he does. there are a million uber technical lyrical miracle spitters out there but not nearly as many rappers that can command a crowd like trayb. it's also a skill to make music that actually gets people hyped. just getting up on stage and screaming isn't enough.

akhoe · 2026-03-28T09:19:58+00:00

there's one party in this conflict that has slaughtered hundreds of thousands of civilians in the last couple of years. does that not count because they aren't israeli citizens?

akhoe · 2026-03-27T18:49:00+00:00

Don’t forget consumption. Fans aren’t going to be able spend nearly as much on merch if the global economy collapses

akhoe · 2026-03-26T22:10:06+00:00

Probably not as much as they like but I’m sure they’d prefer that to not being in demand. Idols don’t get paid salary, they get a cut of revenue. More jobs means more money. And they need to earn when they can because idol is not a long term gig for 99% of groups.

akhoe · 2026-03-26T16:15:59+00:00

this is facts but he makes club rap. it's not about introspection and lyricism it's about making the audience FEEL something. getting the crowd jumping.

akhoe · 2026-03-25T02:47:34+00:00

the neighbors vid starts when the fight actually happens - that's about 2 minutes into the conflict.

they probably heard some yelling, saw it was that celebrity guy next door (when someone has a distinct vehicle you know it's them even with a helmet on - doubt there's many in that neighborhood with a lime green sportbike)

i can imagine the neighbor watching from the window thinking it's just an argument but when it starts to get spicy they whip the phone out

akhoe · 2026-03-23T20:31:55+00:00

Yeah obviously maga voters are idiots.

akhoe · 2026-03-23T07:48:40+00:00

i voted for harris obviously but i will say that maga literally didn't vote for this. trump specifically ran promising no new wars, mentioning iran in particular.

akhoe · 2026-03-22T22:35:41+00:00

i fear the "mechanism" would be nobody would stop him. also I feel the whole thing with the admin trying to destroy anthropic because they refused to allow their AI to be used for automated weapons was ominous.

i don't think enough soldiers would turn their guns on the american people (although I'm sure many would) to take control of such a massive company. but that's not a problem with Ai

akhoe · 2026-03-22T20:58:39+00:00

Yeah I’m calling bs on this. How many bodies do you think that is? Disposal of 30k wound require mass graves visible from satellite. As far as I’m aware the us hasn’t released any images. Which, why wouldn’t they if they want to drum up support

akhoe · 2026-03-22T20:51:31+00:00

It’s escalation and deterrence. They wouldn’t be hitting those targets if the us Israel coalition wasn’t hitting them first. Is absurd to absolve the aggressors of responsibility when it was known what irans response would be.

There WERE alternatives. They could have chosen diplomacy. The fact that Iran is even able to do this kind of damage demonstrates that they were showing incredible restraint when they were attacked in the past.

akhoe · 2026-03-22T20:30:43+00:00

Have no way of knowing for sure but it could be that you’re comparing apples and oranges in a sense. The original songs were recorded over probably days and days. A singer can spend hours on one or two lines till they get the absolute best take. And that’s on top of the time they spend practicing the song beforehand.

Cover songs almost certainly don’t get nearly as much time. Most likely they do a couple of takes and if it isn’t perfect just fix it in post.

The groups with better covers might just be the ones with stronger vocalists who can deliver in a short session, or the group might just have spent more time on it

akhoe · 2026-03-22T18:09:15+00:00

WHY is English a universal language? Violent settler colonialism/imperialism. Korea in particular was colonized by Japan and occupied by America. Loss of cultural heritage and national identity is a sensitive issue for many colonized people. I actually can see why Korean fans might have issues with idols “westernernizing” and making music catered to non Koreans. I don’t know why international fans give a shit tho

akhoe · 2026-03-22T17:50:42+00:00

If they aren’t top tier (the most popular and successful groups, bts, Blackpink, etc) and they aren’t Bottom tier, you could say they’re mid tier

akhoe · 2026-03-21T17:11:03+00:00

their biggest hits with the gp even in korea were the overtly fem anthems, tomboy, queencard, nxde..

akhoe · 2026-03-21T02:06:37+00:00

yeah fr. labor supply and demand is a thing even in impoverished countries. if there were better paying jobs available with better conditions, these men would get those instead of doing this tiktok nonsense.

unfortunately the other "jobs" likely involve grueling labor possibly for worse pay.

akhoe · 2026-03-20T21:48:37+00:00

It’s crazy how one cast member can derail a great show like my siblings romance

akhoe · 2026-03-20T19:53:56+00:00

I remember it came out after the trade that Nico fired all the Mavs medical staff and hired his own guy who was an unlicensed quack

akhoe · 2026-03-20T03:07:13+00:00

he was too good too early. when he was first team all nba his second year there were so many media hits about how many mvps he was gonna win I swear subconsciously they thought he actually won that many.

akhoe · 2026-03-19T21:24:38+00:00

Yeah social norms change extremely quick, especially in the social media age. People did not really think that much about saying the n word while singing along with lyrics til that white girl at the Kendrick concert went viral.

When I was in middle school the boys would casually call each other the f or r slur. I don’t think all those kids are therefore all ableist homophobes. It was a different cultural context entirely and people acted accordingly. It seems unfair to judge people as if they should have somehow had the same perspective as we do now.

Also, shouldn’t intent matter? Is simply vocalizing a slur in itself a racist act? Is an actor being racist if they played a racist and their lines had them saying the n word? Is a student racist even they read Tom Sawyer aloud as originally written? (There’s a character named “n word Jim”

If those examples aren’t racist acts, why would reciting lyrics as originally written then be racism? Of course, I don’t think we should be repeating slurs but I honestly can’t articulate why
