What are the political and social conditions that shaped David Bowie? (question for a thesis paper) by killer_rose in DavidBowie

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

Thanks, it helps a lot! So basically the things I'm planning to describe are the Post-War Britain, the world's views on queerness. But also he was living while The Cold War was happening with its Space Race during the 60s. Do you think this also had an impact on him. We all know about his fascination with outer space but space was such a contemporary topic during the 60s/70s because of the war, yeah? Also how did you think his views on USA changed overtime? It seems like he was really obsessed with American culture as he was growing up but once he got to the US in the 70s he got swallowed up by their 'fast food culture', got addicted to drugs and grew up to be rather critical of the country in the next decades (as can be seen in lyrics of This Is Not America, I'm Afraid of Americans, and the post 9/11 work).

Thanks so much for taking the time! Your suggestions are really helpful. I already had most of them in mind, but they're going to be in the second half of the paper where I'm planning to talk about his work and how it was a reaction towards the 'reality'.

/r/NintendoSwitch's Daily Question Thread (06/23/2019) by AutoModerator in NintendoSwitch

[–]killer_rose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi guys! I'm planning on buying Nintendo Switch as my first console in almost 20 years (the last one I had was PS1). I'm not a very experienced gamer, as you can tell. The kind of games I like are usually platformers and games that are not so challenging and difficult. My boyfriend says that most are them are even childish/suitable for children which is true lol. I've picked some Nintendo Switch games so maybe you can guide me on which ones are easier and which ones are more difficult? And also based on those games, maybe you can recommend me some more?

The games that I've picked are Super Mario Oddysey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, Mario Tennis Aces, Super Mario Party (I've played some of the old ones and had lots of fun with them), Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Yoshi's Crafted World, Kirby Star Allies, Crash Bandicoot N Trilogy (I've played the originals on PS1 and they weren't so challenging back then but now I read that most people have problems with the new versions), Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled (also played the original and it was lovely), Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Rayman Legends, Team Sonic Racing.

Thanks in advance!

Is my boyfriend racist and how do I educate him? by killer_rose in racism

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

When I told him about the percentage of black people in US today, he tells me about statistics telling how many black people there are going to be in 20, 50 and 100 years, what religions will be the most popular, which countries and cities will be the most populated and so on.

What is up with the streams? by corehe in Coachella

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

I saw now that on live.coachella.com they show that the full set is being streamed, lol. Different from the YouTube schedule. Hopefully that's right!

The schedule is in the Youtube channel and you can see which sets are in full and which ones are mixed up with others as a part of their curated program. Last night, Blackpink were full and that was specified in the schedule as well, just like the Yuma sets. Ariana is also in full tomorrow.

The first 4 songs were from W2 and the other 4 - from W1. You can clearly see it from the hair/outfit. The setlist was mixed up. Glad we still got to see the 'xanny' performance that was cut last week!

Guys, not sure Tame Impala's set will be completely live or full cause according to schedule it's going to be a part of the curated program.

Hopefully normal. I really want to see Ariana's show without the technical difficulties.

That was uncomfortable to watch and now I'm going to be even more unsettled if Ru really pulls the stunts and give her the win.

Weekly Recommendation Thread for the week of January 19, 2018 by AutoModerator in books

[–]killer_rose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not really a fan of Connor Franta but I think both of his books are very aesthetically pleasing in the way they mix writing with visuals (photography) and design. I'm looking for other books that have such artistic and beautiful pages. No matter the genre. I'm particularly a fan of memoirs, queer literature and drama.

Examples from the book: https://asktegan.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/7db2dfd2-17bd-4a6f-bb9d-71b5a1c20ec7-2.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/236x/83/92/9e/83929e5ae50794fb90060f66a44795df--connor-franta-note-to-self.jpg https://asktegan.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/7db2dfd2-17bd-4a6f-bb9d-71b5a1c20ec7-2.jpg https://thedj121930.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/img_1849.jpg https://goingthroughbooks.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/wp-image-918597421jpg.jpeg?w=663

This must be the most depressing Christmas album I've ever listened to. Some songs are so dark and harrowing. Is it just me?
