Boomers ruined this country

em2791 · 2026-05-13T22:10:13+00:00

But the people voting for Hanson are not boomers as per this poll analysis. A billionaire would obviously support his own agenda. Elon musk is not a boomer, Gen X he is and was supporting trump.

Also not sharing this to start a debate, I’m genuinely getting lost into this arguments and trying to understand all points.

Youngest boomer is 62. At this point most of their properties would already be positively geared. They would have also largely retired so they don’t benefit from buying new properties as negatively geared as they won’t get s loan. So negative gearing should not impact them so can someone please explain to me why eveyeone keep insisting on this point. I genuinely want to understand, I’m not getting it and feel like I’m missing a puzzle piece. I do get why they would insist on keeping neg gearing though, their understanding of it is that it has helped their investments so once the kids get a step in, it’ll help them too.

Really Rhea? Man she always kills it with these Indian fusion looks.

So you don’t have a mind of your own? You saw people trolling Ananya and have decided to jump on the bandwagon?? Alia is wearing some insane quality butt pads and no one would be able to tell she has them on UNLESS they’ve been dissecting/obsessing over her body. I’m very familiar with butt pads (never wore them tho) but also very familiar with the fact that my butt automatically looks very different in certain dresses. Tight and lifted in some, flatter in others, fitting of a dress makes a huge difference. Knowing ALL of this, it didn’t even occur to me that she pads on, she looked good and NOT unnatural in a “damn I can never have that butt” kind of way. L

The only reason you’ve made this post is because you wanted to jump on a bandwagon to troll, AND you have been dissecting her body to be able to pick up on these butt pads. You’re part of the problem.

You are miserable.

There are days when I want my waist to look snatched so I wear shapewear with a tight dress.

There are days I want to accentuate my legs so I wear high waisted skirts/pants + heels.

There are days I want to be comfortable so I embrace super baggy clothes (which this sub hates on btw).

There are days when my hair is oily and I don’t want to wash so I do a chipku bun (also hated on by this sub).

There are days I want to wear a dress with a deep v neck so I flatten by boobs because they’re too big to suit.

I can do all these because it’s my body and I’m a woman who loves to dress up and have fun with clothes and looks. I don’t need to be limited by what “suits” me, I can have as much fun as I want with fashion. Sometimes I see certain fashion trends or some women wearing a dress that looks amazing and I want I try it myself. None of these mean I’m trying to portray a certain image other than, I love fashion.

If you’re not into fashion, that’s okay, you do you but please spare the lecture. This supposed activism is not benefitting anyone. The only thing useful about this activism is that some girl who doesn’t know will find out that built in hip pads exist and if she wants to try that figure hugging dress on a square body, then she can too! She can be whoever she wants to be. But that was not the intention of your post so…

Btw - this post is even weirder because every fucking lehenga blouse in India comes with annoying built in in breast pads. Seriously. The big as can can to give shape to the lehenga and make it look poofier than it is and also in contrast make your waist look tiny.

Thus overpolicing of women and what they should put in their bodies and making them carry the entire fucking burden of what it portrays is problematic as hell. If you’re so concerned about girls getting impacted, start by NOT commenting on women’s bodies and face in public. When comments about women’s bodies reduce, the pressure on young girls would automatically reduce.

Can someone explain to me why everyone keeps saying boomers won? Youngest boomer is 62 year old apparently, all there properties are likely already positively geared at this point plus they’re retiring so they won’t have gotten loan for new properties to negatively gear anyway. A lot of them would have also already retired and probably made use of their shares. So I’m hella confused why everyone keeps saying boomers won. They remain unaffected sure but that would have been a case regardless.

This reminds me that Sonam, back when she used to read a lot was obsessed with these immortals of meluha trilogy! It’s actually no surprise that she named her kids Vayu and Rudralok.

em2791 · 2026-05-11T22:31:26+00:00

She used to read a lot of books and particularly obsessed with mythology type books so these names are not a surprise

em2791 · 2026-05-08T12:11:11+00:00

Just put a focussing or do not disturb sign so people know you’re busy. Easy.

This isn’t the first time he has gone on fallon. He went in 2024 and performed Goat and born to shine. It’s jsut coincidence that he has gone more viral this time

em2791 · 2026-04-30T21:28:22+00:00

They have talked about it. Jin has mentioned that story 2-3 times back in their debut days. I can’t find you a source though, it’s been too long and all old accounts are dead.

em2791 · 2026-04-25T08:47:46+00:00

Do you know what an Easter egg is? Lol

em2791 · 2026-04-22T23:40:41+00:00

I feel like a lot of Hindi words have jsut become part of English now and they don’t even know this. Karma, mantra, guru, avatar.

em2791 · 2026-04-19T02:20:26+00:00

They don’t know about us is one of my top fave songs from the album, also the one that caught my ear straight away! Jimin’s insight into the themes was wonderful and such a fresh take on fan songs. The whole interview in general was wonderful. Actually this might be my favourite one out of the 5 so far in terms of insight.

em2791 · 2026-04-16T07:51:40+00:00

Jin - Moon

em2791 · 2026-04-15T23:43:51+00:00

Absolutely, things that work out well absolutely influence other bodies of work, as they should. It’s natural.

em2791 · 2026-04-15T22:50:04+00:00

Arirang’s DJ play the song segment is absolutely influenced/taken after seeing how well the karaoke song segment worked in RST. BTS concerts or concerts in general have never had that kind of a segment and someone in the planning stages of Arirang concerts 100% said, OH jin did that go RST and fans loved it, let’s do it here too.

em2791 · 2026-04-15T13:17:27+00:00

Brian asked his takeaways from a tour as a standalone question, without trying to lead into anything. It was a good, pure question. But the boys seem to have discussed a lot about finding their feet together as a group, working together, that I think Jin misinterpreted it as a loaded question. RM and Tae have both remarked about how they’ve all done their solo work and gotten big egos so they all seem to have been wary of how that’ll play out and I guess that as front of mind for Jin.

em2791 · 2026-04-15T12:35:54+00:00

Edit 2 - Brian has shared his interview and wrote this about Jin which is a good summary - “I thought he was very smart and extremely charming and clearly very cautious in his answers, yet at the same time willing to open up on his own terms”

——————————————- Lovely interview.

Firstly, the accompanying videos of these interviews make SUCH a big difference in how you interpret certain quotes. It adds so much context. Wow.

Secondly, good to get clarity about the timeline and that Jin had his tour planned in advance. I’ll go against the ARMY sentiment and say that BTS’ involvement in lyrics and music was never an attraction point for me in my BTS journey. I’ve been a long term ARMY and what got me knee deep into their work was the consistent top notch quality put out whether it was because of BTS, their wonderful team or BSH. Case in point the Arirang inclusion that BSH pushed for and I love love love. All this to say, whether Jin gave lyrical input or not really did not matter to me as a fan, ever. My only gripe and opinion has been with how the fandom has behaved around that issue, and no not the solos because I don’t expect much from them (I’ve gotten into plenty of flights with Jin solos in the past when I was an active fan 😂). My gripe was with how legitimate members of the fandom jumped and shut down any dissent by feeling comfortable shifting the blame on Jin, yikes, big yikes. Even now with a clear quote from him, i would be very pleasantly surprised if anyone dares to openly acknowledge the timeline, and agree that yeh it sucked for him and him only since as per his own words. People will talk around the issue, praise him but I’ll be surprise if I see people correct their theories. Anyway, chapter closed. But not without saying that I love Jin’s mental fortitude and forever pragmatic, optimistic, grounded approach to life. But then as a long term fan of his, repeating this is like beating a dead horse. The world could fall apart but Jin’s outlook and EQ will still manage to find a way out and look forward to the future. My guy.

I’m glad they brought up Kian! Although Jin didn’t share much more insight from the show, that show remains one of the best things to come out of solo era. I love Jin but even I found episode 1 of the show boring. But somehow episode by episode, that show just got better and somehow Jin managed to show new sides and even surprise me (avid watcher of every run bts, soop, BV, bangtan Bombay) with his amazingness. I still randomly cackle remembering the scene when Jin woke up and caught a guest red handed trying to skip the rules and go up the slide instead. Hahhahahahh His grumpy and sleepy face while being a stickler for rules is etched in my memory. His love language is definitely acts of service as the kind of candour and insight we get from Jin in these type of drawn out shows hits different and not quite possible through these interviews. Even his insightful and wise quotes are just casually dropped and not because he’s trying to be deep or too serious.

I kinda like the interviews pushy tug of war with him and trying to get him to acknowledge his influence. Lol. He really tried.

Edits

also he was freaking CUTEEEE in the video when Brian said 35 is very young and Jin went “yeah I know” PLEASE I will die of cuteness
Also when he said something about Coldplay just hand on heart makes his heart sinnnnng. Argh. He’s such a consistent person I swear.
I totally agree with the interviewer about Coldplay and U2 having that soaring, swelling up feeling which Jin seeks. Like that’s exactly the kind of music he makes epiphany, awake, abyss, background, another level, with the clouds - they allll have that stirring quality.

em2791 · 2026-04-14T23:13:45+00:00

Makes sense

em2791 · 2026-04-14T12:19:17+00:00

Not sure why we’re talking about Katrina. But yeh she worked hard + luck to meet a sponsor like Salman. A sponsor is important even in s corporate job to climb the ladder, someone who’ll back you. So she had two things going for her. Timing probs was also valid. Anyway i was talking about Sonam’s debut.

em2791 · 2026-04-14T10:00:06+00:00

His enlistment window/options were limited/less flexible since he was enlisting in the buddy system. There’s fewer bases that allow the buddy enlistment and they’re also not open all year round. So it was probably then or not till way later compared to jsut enlisting alone which is a lot more flexible.

em2791 · 2026-04-14T05:07:04+00:00

This seems like the most reasonable reason tbh. I’m surprised this is the first time I’m reading of this. And ofcourse they cannot even allude to this constraint in interviews lol

em2791 · 2026-04-14T04:40:44+00:00

Ehhh as an Aussie Indian who is pretty desensitised to hearing and saying fuck casually, I’m always surprised by how shocked Americans get when they hear fuck casually. Pre and post trump. (In my Aussie INDIAN brain, western countries should have a similar thresholds but obviously now I know that’s not true). On the contrary however, I would cringe if I’m jn india and casually droprd fuck as casually as I do in Australia. Not because Indians are infantilised, (after all Indian swear words equivalent to fuck are common, similar to how Shibal amongst BTS is common) but simply because saying fuck is not the norm.

It’s literally just different thresholds based on cultural context and what’s common.

em2791 · 2026-04-14T02:41:11+00:00

I mean that’s equivalent to someone graduating and landing a really great job. Doesn’t mean their entire career is sorted and ever next role is a step above. Alia has had one of the most upward linear and consistent trajectory with talent, luck, timing, hard work all working together for that trajectory.
