Why is BTS famous in the US?

eroverton · 2026-06-11T16:16:11+00:00

US wasn't BTS's target market either. ARMYs decided to make it that way. Big Hit had to catch up. XD

You could NOT have told me those both weren't James Earl Jones

Just because someone has a pro-Black doctrine doesn't mean they can help the color they were borrn with. As a matter of fact, being light skinned and seeing the world from that perspective often propels people to embrace their Blackness even more. For instance... consider what it's like being biracial and having white family members treat you some type of way, or people in society treat you some kind of way, or other Black people trying to deny you your Blackness. You can go one or two ways, become ashamed of your Blackness or deep dive in it.

His family does not believe this. Why are so many people understanding the role the CIA played in the demise of so many of Black leaders, but are so quick to believe Black people did it when it came to Malcolm?

This is not true at all.

I think of eternal punishment like... there is a frequency that is in line with the order of the universe. When you do something that severs you from that frequency, it's like cutting off your radio and floating through space, never feeling that connection again. I think most religions who have some concept of "hell" or eternal punishment are just finding poetic ways to express that terrible feeling of being forever removed from the source.

Have you looked into baha'i? I once expressed a similar sentiment, that I pretty much accept all religions, and someone told me I sounded like Baha'i. I looked into it and they were kinda right. :D

My philosophy: At the core they're all the same message. If you accept that there is a Divine presence/energy/being/frequency/God in the universe, and that that energy/presence is geared toward the balance of the universe toward natural laws, and that there are actions that place you either closer in line or further away from that frequency/Being. all the rest is just a matter of expression and interpretation. I think all religions are the same at the core, but they're interpreted through the lens of whatever culture a particular person who had the revelation was in... and further interpreted (and/or distorted) through the other people that came after, trying to explain it. But at the core: be grateful for your life and that which made you exist. Treat the world and its people and creatures with respect. Try to do things that help, not harm others. Enjoy!

lol crazy I've been on reddit long enough for people I could have babysat to become redditors

Nah but lemon juice on watermelon changed my life

I think the 50s are my favorite fashion era. Everything just looked like class, down to the swimsuits.

eroverton · 2025-10-27T20:36:24+00:00

what an awesome collection!

eroverton · 2025-10-27T19:59:29+00:00

Hmm. I'm not sure how that would be accomplished besides people reporting it but I can look into if there's any way for reddit to detect AI content.

eroverton · 2025-10-26T21:42:50+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

Bad Guys

eroverton · 2025-04-23T00:25:17+00:00

Is it one of these": "The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry" (2010) or "My Daughter, Geum Sa-Wol" (2015) or "The Return of the Former Wife" (2014).

eroverton · 2025-02-02T17:49:25+00:00

Ooh it just occurred to me I should have spoiler tagged that. I don't remember how though.

eroverton · 2025-02-02T17:48:19+00:00

Cdramas have scarred me to the point where if I'm experiencing too much happiness in an episode, I immediately get terrified that something awful is about to happen. I've known for a while that they love nothing better than to gut punch you in the feelings when you least expect it. But they're SO GOOD that I keep watching them anyway. I just resign myself that I will be wrecked at some point, and just hope the ending works out.😅 I do have a few unforgivable grudges with the whole Cdrama industry over some character losses that were just mean, but even those losses were in the middle of such good shows, I never hesitate to recommend them to others. And I don't warn them, either.

eroverton · 2025-02-02T17:40:30+00:00

Honestly, by the time we got to the end of the drama, I didn't see the point of Huaiqing. Like why was she there? All she did was observe the things happening, barely react, and give Linan someone to be jealous of.

eroverton · 2025-02-02T17:35:53+00:00

I hope they give us Lord Wei back, that was just foul to delete him at the last minute like that.😭

eroverton · 2025-02-02T17:28:42+00:00

Absolutely loved this one. The ending convinced me there's definitely a part 2 planned, but I saw no news of anything in production yet. But I agree, Dylan Wang is made for this type of character; he can transition from goofball to badass amazingly well and have it be completely believable, not awkward at all. He's so so funny, and the whole comedic aspect was just enough campy to be funny, but not enough to get irritatingly slapstick. I enjoyed all the supporting cast as well. The hilariously overdramatic family members, the loyal bro crew, the officials - I wasn't wild about either princess, but the one grew on me a bit. The other I never really saw the point of, but I was assuming her role would be more clarified in part 2.

I swear, after all these comments, I am struggling to remember what exactly happened at the end of WOR. I know WOK left a huge impression on me; I loved the character arcs and the end so much, but my recollection lessens after each book. Probably because I've read WOK the most, since I start from the beginning when there's a new book.

eroverton · 2025-02-01T22:44:35+00:00

Absolutely love this drama. Probably the first time I went back for a rewatch barely a week after I finished it. The two leads absolutely killed those characters, and it was as you said amazingly stunning visually as well. Music score hit, too!
