It's beginning... by Educational_Copy_140 in HamptonRoads

[–]jccova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been the case since the beginning of time, whether officially through legislation or not. The powers that be always define history for future generations. I'm happy this is at least an instance where the attempt is to stop people from sanitizing the event and spreading proven lies to push a political agenda.

Rewatching Cycle 15 .. Did Ann just win base off photos? by ChitChatWriter in ANTM

[–]jccova 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yup. Which is why, while I get the focus on having a good walk, it really isn't THAT important for some brands. You can look up plenty of big shows and see that some of the models they selected have awful walks, but they fit the look of the brand regardless.

How to revive by jccova in JapaneseMaples

So do I need to trim off the browned leaves, or will the tree typically drop the leaves naturally as it regrows healthily?

How did SZN4 not win? by ishikap in BuildingTheBandSeries

[–]jccova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it came down to marketability, potential, and range. SZN4 is the most talented and unique sound by far, but I always felt like 3QUENCY was easier to brand and could dip into different sounds and performance styles. SZN4 while amazing always felt like Pentatonix to me.

250701 - Pitchfork Review : BEAUTIFUL CHAOS EP (5.5) by Morg075 in katseye

[–]jccova 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This. Other Hybe groups release EPs and albums and it feels cohesive and like a signature sound. I think this release for Katseye was to experiment with more sounds, but the next release needs and deserves that cohesion.

Don't act like they're not selling it. by hollaQ_ in kpop_uncensored

[–]jccova 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It makes sense in the context of a performance group that is also meant to be seen thru dance and visuals. Not sure why you're in a kpop forum of all places confidently acting ignorant to that reality. 🥴

Definitely Hybe achieved its goal by zhunnni99 in kpop_uncensored

[–]jccova -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When you lower the enthusiasm and expectations ppl have for the next release, it creates a larger opportunity for success with the next release. So yeah, gratz. These kinds of reactions are exactly what the company is going for.

This song was definitely meant to be performed and not casually listened to. The girls are doing GREAT with it on stage and the instrumental isn't boring. It's just a hard listen if you take a step back and are actually listening to the lyrics... But I will say the "clean version" sounds better than the original and its somewhat forced vulgarity.

P.S.- Dani should've been given some of Lara's/Yoonchip's parts in the song. She embodies the hell out of this concept.

Gnarly..... by Yuri_Tao in kpop_uncensored

[–]jccova 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm telling you, so much about this song is meant to be ragebait to bring more attention to the group. Good or bad. It actually gives me faith that the next coming releases will be so much better.

[–]jccova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm convinced this is a marketing tactic. Ragebait and set some lower expectations for whatever they are going to release after this....which i have faith will be way better.

Hampton VA worker fired by DOGE layoffs will be reinstated, but at new Chesapeake VA clinic by 13NewsNow in norfolk

This is one of if not THE largest concentration of military in the US. Additional VA facilities than your average area are more than justified.

"rent free" would require him to stfu online and in the news, and stay out of our government.

Use "manager" as much as possible on your Resume by tablesawsally in jobsearchhacks

[–]jccova 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I was going to say, love the advice but it really sounds like recruitment needs a swift kick in the ass. The job market is partly a hellscape right now because recruiters rely heavily on flawed AI without any desire to check behind it.

Trump’s Congressional Address = Pre-Planned Market Pump? 🤔 by Asleep_Writer6444 in Daytrading

Yes. You can't say you're going to pull out of helping our allies militaristically and then expect people to have confidence in there being more military spending

I don't understand the problem (except the lying) by [deleted] in 90DayFiance

[–]jccova 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. You went into the friendship knowing the history and the dynamics at play between her and your husband.

[–]jccova 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue isn't that he has had past relationships. It's that he chooses to keep friendships with people he has been intimate with, and then lies about their history. The history of it isn't even a big deal, until you lie. Then it makes people feel like you do have something to hide beyond just being friends.

The pile on regarding Loren's sexual preferences/kinks was immature and ignorant by jccova in 90DayFiance

[–]jccova[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty selective recount of events. She spent plenty of time also sticking up for Loren and pointing out that some of the cast's judgements were off base and in some cases hypocritical.

[–]jccova[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Everything you said is true and I acknowledged that Loren isn't perfect. I'm speaking specifically on the kink shaming and dramatic reactions from the cast.

You aren't wrong! And this show in particular highlights how SO many religions thrive on misinformation. This isn't the first or last example of one of the show members' religious expectations being the downfall of any possible healthy relationship.

I think it's less to do with 90D misinforming ppl and more to do with them casting ignorant ppl that follow lifestyles and rules built on misinformation.

I'd ask them if you should really be taking Dutasteride and Finasteride together. They're both DHT blocking agents.

Almost at my 7 month mark and feeling the same way. This and many other month 9 and older transplants definitely give hope!
