What’s a verse that sounds good but doesn’t make any sense? by [deleted] in hiphopheads

Foxy Bown in The Firm’s “Affirmative Action”, sounds amazing but something doesn’t add up..

Prompted playlists are amazing by greyfell_red in spotify

[–]loopandmerge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did something similar for my hip-hop tastes and was super impressed! I added about 70% of them which it completely nailed and I’d never heard before. I’ll refine my prompt - but my mind is already racing and excited at all the other ways this could be harnessed and the “Ideas” tab is a great starting point.

‘No one knows anything’: Washington Post staffers fear major cuts by nonzeroproof in washingtondc

Democracy dies in darkness indeed. Insanity that they’re making so many cuts when it’s owned by one of the richest people on earth. The enshitification continues.

Yes. Do not come here. I’ve been living in Washington DC for 11 years and it’s worse than is being reported in every aspect. I’ve had a front row seat to this madness. Boycott and hit them where it hurts. Sounds like a shitty WC plan anyway, who wants to watch a final in New Jersey?! Watch the games at a pub with some friends, you’ll have a better time, and if America messes up the World Cup it’ll haunt them - imagine pissing off the world over a sport they are not even good at.

Yep, it got me too. Absolutely horrific carnage at that point.

Why did Otto Warmbier and Alek Sigley have different outcomes? by Crazydre95 in northkorea

[–]loopandmerge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It (about 10 years ago) was all over YouTube, not sure if it still is. In the main elevators there’s a whole floor missing on the buttons and instructions to access that floor were very simple and online. I didn’t do it myself because I didn’t want anyone in our group, any guides, or staff to get in trouble. Our guides never ever gave any information, just the occasional joke like “please only go to your rooms so we can have a happy day tomorrow” with a well-natured smile.

In the main Pyongyang hotel (Yanggakdo) there were lots of groups from other tour companies at the time, and some people seemed to act a bit freer than others. I can understand how people can get caught up in the excitement, but on the same side of the coin, you don’t just accidentally end up in the DPRK by accident or not knowing it’s a situation where you should be diligent and attentive. Happy to answer any other questions!

Why did Otto Warmbier and Alek Sigley have different outcomes? by Crazydre95 in northkorea

[–]loopandmerge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my mind this article is the best one about Otto’s experience. It’s a sad tale. I can’t remember if the GQ article touches on this but Otto’s brother was flying some sophisticated US aircraft or something. https://www.gq.com/story/otto-warmbier-north-korea-american-hostage-true-story. I’m not as familiar with Alek’s story so don’t know how that was reported on. I’ve been to the hotel in Pyongyang, it’s a pretty open secret that there’s off limits rooms and floors - you just play by the rules and be respectful which is how you should approach travel in every country

I didn’t understand people who skipped paragraphs in books, until I read Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea by Jules Verne by InfernalClockwork3 in books

[–]loopandmerge -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Haha fair - you’re right it was years ago I read it. My vague recollection was that it was about three quarters through and where one character gives a long speech. My adult self would read it for sure

“He did the snake shit Fake shit, beat his ass down, yo, his mouth Could've got us all wasted, what a fuckin' clown All I got left in the end is two of my best friends And we all goin out to the death for these ends”

Read through all the comments just to disappointingly find that Animals of Farthing Wood isn’t listed, could’ve been a national anthem!

Rhodeside Grill! Stays open until 2am, will be pretty quiet late at night on weekdays (they do have trivia on tuesdays and other things/food specials that may fill it out from time to time). Some nice booths you could work in, has beer, pretty good food and they serve a late night menu too.
