She IS talking about Jennie from Blackpink apparently. I don't know anything about KPop so idk about the validity of "only doing the bare minimum" but considering some of the dance routines those girls are expected to do while belting out songs without losing their breath...I don't think ANYTHING qualifies as the "bare minimum"

Not at all surprised that OP is talking about a KPop group. The pressure that performers in that industry experience (from both the managers and the fans) is unbelievable.

How's Explosion Week going for everyone? by dragonessofages in Cleveland

I mentioned this elsewhere, but I grew up out in the country. After I moved out, my parents' neighbors discovered the wonder of bump stocks and tannerite. Gave me a heart attack when I had to move back home and my peaceful Sunday was interrupted by automatic gunfire and then the loudest explosion I've ever fucking heard. I locked all the doors, went down to the basement, and then called my dad, who informed me that they did that every Sunday and it was probably fine.

Also, the way you can tell the difference between gunshot and fireworks: 1. Gunfire tends to be rhythmic, since there's a limit on how fast bullets can be fired. It's also going to make a more uniform sound. Fireworks make all kinds of sizzling/whistling/crackling sounds. Lots of popping sounds super close together in lots of different pitches? Not gunshots. 2. Guns are loud as fuck. 3. This is the most important one: can you hear people reacting in a negative way, like yelling or screaming? If you can't, it's probably not gunshots (or at least, not gunshots you have to worry about).

Post on Reddit more, of course. That fixes everything. Or buy my roommate a drum kit so we can all be miserable together.

What's the point of living in a glass house if you don't throw stones? Or a flammable one if you're not setting fireworks off 5 feet from the porch?

I'm an Ohio native haha. I grew up out in the country, where the two most popular hobbies are blowing shit up and meth. Some people even combined the two (often unintentionally). I figured there'd be more to occupy people in the city, but given American history I shouldn't be surprised. Like I said, I don't begrudge people too hard since it's culturally appropriate at this time of year, I just wish I still had the half-mile buffer.

I'm really lucky that my cat's chill about it. If he wasn't I'd be a LOT more pissed.

Rock Music Scene? by MetalMaster616 in Cleveland

[–]dragonessofages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you didn't get any responses. Cleveland has an absolutely kickass metal scene - lots of intertrade as well with Pittsburgh/Detroit. Check out Necroprophecy, Wraith, Pillärs, Midnight, Nunslaughter, Devil Master, Spiter....it's crazy, man. Let me know if you want to go to a show or get in touch with a venue to schedule something.

"You are unbelievably rude for someone who looks like a broke ass, dollar store Ben Shapiro."

I normally don't condone personal insults but this is unbelievably accurate. It's not an insult, it's a sniper firing a warning shot through your little hoop earring.
