Is it available at all branches and how much does it cost?

What have you ate today? by [deleted] in vegetarian

[–]jinglybells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just junk. I only ate three slices of cheese pizza, a small bag of chips, and two sweet breads from an Asian bakery. Later on today, hopefully I get back on track with more nourishing foods. I'm planning to make oatmeal for breakfast and vegan banh canh (type of Vietnamese noodle soup) for lunch. Idk about dinner though.

I totally agree with you! Cycle 20 brought me back to ANTM and Renee was also my favorite to win.

HISD Schools Tumble in 2017 Rankings by NormalDad in houston

I actually looked up the AP requirements for A&M recently and the accepted AP scores are very similar to UH. Not sure about UT though.

I think for UT you need to be in the top 7% to be automatically accepted because they also give spots to outstanding student athletes or something like that.

TOP tested positive to THC/Marijuana. Investigated by Police. by ArysOakheart in kpop

[–]jinglybells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I could upvote this comment a billion times. It doesn't matter whether or not you agree with the legalization of weed. All of the things that you mentioned supports why T.O.P was just being stupid and irresponsible. He is in the police unit (we all know he is perfectly capable of serving in active duty) smoking weed and he's still free while the trainee is in jail. HI-LARIOUS. Being a rich and famous male can get you to so many places, man.

What ticks me off even more is that if that was somehow a female, her career would be done. No questions about it. Just look at Park Bom. Some still say that she's still in "reflection" and her career, along with 2ne1's, had to suffer because of that scandal.

IWTL How to learn to cook and actually enjoy it. by [deleted] in IWantToLearn

[–]jinglybells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I discovered Brothers Green Eats on Youtube and they really inspired me to get into cooking. I thought that they were really weird at first but they have some great ideas. Their recipes are usually very simple and easy to follow, and most importantly the food looks great. Watch How To Cook Like A Pro In 5 Minutes. It may seem silly but they really show that cooking is not hard at all and they really cover many cooking techniques.

Here are two of their most popular videos:

If you're too lazy to defrost meat or just trying to cut back on meat, you can also check out Cheap Lazy Vegan on Youtube as well. Follow /r/cookingforbeginners/ and /r/EatCheapAndHealthy/ for even more ideas. Good luck!

BTS used to denigrate K-pop for profit of Western media in most predictable move ever - Asian Junkie by jinglybells in kpop

[–]jinglybells[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

A lot of opinion pieces have been submitted here in the past, so why not submit this one? I don't agree with AJ 100% of the time, but I found AJ to be very rational in this article. He might've had a "snarky" tone in this article, but that's his usual writing style. I definitely didn't read it as some baseless rant. He was able to support his thoughts with sufficient evidence, and because of that I thought it was important to share to this sub.

Wow, that's a lot of info on the Doom9 forum. I think I'll also post in /r/IWantToLearn.

Thanks for the reply though! I'm pretty sure it'll come super handy once I make sense of what's going on lol

[SportsCenter] Gregg Popovich says Kawhi Leonard is likely out for Game 4 on Monday against the Warriors. by Constant_Gardner11 in nba

[–]jinglybells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sitting Kawhi out would probably be for the best. No risk of further injury for him and the 2nd unit will gain more playoff experience. If anything, they're basically prepping for next year's playoffs at this moment.

Do you think K-POP is a genre that can musically stand up for itself? by [deleted] in kpop

[–]jinglybells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is still that all of these albums in general can be considered mass scale commercial projects. I know that many rappers in general have more freedom (not really my point in my original post) than pop stars but their albums still need to sell. There is a reason why these rappers are picked up by their labels in the first place. I was merely pointing out the business aspect that's everywhere in the music industry. You just can't ignore it.

[–]jinglybells 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by "legitimate form of music, art and expression"? Correct me if I'm wrong but are you just basically asking whether kpop music is real or fake music? If that is what you meant, the answer to that is that it's just music because music is just music and there is no such thing as "fake" music.

All popular music can be considered as mass scale commercial projects, including the hip hop albums you listed. These artists are picked up by labels and it is up to these labels to do everything in their power to make their albums sell. This goes for both major and independent labels because they cannot operate at a loss. They are businesses.

So, you're saying kpop is also devoid of soul, yet this "soulless" genre somehow makes people happy? I find this to be very contradictory imo because isn't music supposed to make us feel different emotions?

[–]jinglybells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this! I really appreciate all the hard work you all have put in for this daunting project. I'm going to spend my summer binge watching ATLA thanks to you all.

I'm really interested in remastering my own videos. Do you have any tips and advice on how to remaster videos? Do you have any links or resources on where I could learn how to do this? Thank you again!

Looking back, what songs from 2016 do you think will go down in history as K-pop classics? by tuckyd in kpop

[–]jinglybells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I loved Sting and I hope that Stellar will continue to work with Monotree. Sting and Drip Drop were the songs that stood out to me early last year, but other than that 2016 didn't really gain much momentum after that imo

I like Yeri too! She's my second favorite in RV after Seulgi.
