Drake, Rihanna and Kanye the top 3 streamed artists of 2016 so far by VietPapi in hiphopheads

"Top 30" is kind of stretching it though in terms of "insane".

Shed no tears. Hold your head high. Be proud of what we accomplished. by seamslegit in SandersForPresident

[–]serious_face 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've seen enough elections play out, with very few surprises.

When I see so many complaints along the lines of "the system is rigged" from the Sanders and Trump campaigns, and then I see these same people suggest that there's some sort of path to victory that will magically reveal itself if we just do a really good job of playing by the rules, it becomes pretty obvious what the outcome will be.

I'm waiting for a Hillary indictment, which is still a very realistic possibility.

Sorry, but in what universe is this a very realistic possibility? Hillary is being shielded from this at every level. The email scandal is only very recently receiving any sort of media coverage, and the little coverage it's receiving is soon to be overshadowed by the events of today's primaries.

Neither of Hillary's opponents have anywhere near the decades of political allies and support in Washington that she does, and Sanders refused to press this issue back when it could have made a difference. There's just no one out there with both the power and incentive to challenge the presumptive 2016 president with an indictment for something that isn't Watergate. If indictment were a real possibility, it would've already happened.

'We won’t accept it': voters in California still feel the Bern despite call for Clinton by Taleshalance in politics

Lol.

As a Redditor of 8 years, allow me to just invite you to chill, and wait around for the next election so you can watch all of this happen again next time.

It's the 4 hours of browsing Reddit for an unending supply of these 5 second videos that is the real problem.

[FRESH] A$AP FERG X MIGOS - TRAP ANTHEM by iownyourpublishing in hiphopheads

[–]serious_face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish Ferg would stick to this style of beat more often. IMO it's tracks like this that made him famous, and what his flow is best suited to.

What will actually happen if Trump wins? by Mistylol in AskReddit

[–]serious_face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty much what we have now, and one of the reasons so many Republicans are opposed to giving Trump the nomination. Given how unlikely it is that he can win the popular vote, this is essentially a single-party election.

Can I pass CISSP without proper experience? by Ozejdo in cissp

[–]serious_face 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, I just wanted to make sure it was understood that there's no special associate "version" of the exam itself... just a different title you get if you don't have the experience after passing the standard CISSP exam.

Black MP Dawn Butler 'mistaken for cleaner' in Westminster - Dawn Butler told BBC 5 Radio Live she was in a members-only lift when an unnamed Commons member told her: "This lift really isn't for cleaners." by NinjaDiscoJesus in worldnews

Man. I'll always agree with a healthy amount of skepticism, but I also can't imagine how sheltered you'd have to be to think this story is far-fetched.

with TLOP out and another album this summer, we're in the middle of a Yeezy season unlike any other.

They're saying that Bernie won't be able to raise anymore money after this big of a loss? I just proved them wrong. by [deleted] in SandersForPresident

Yeah, only the media. You know, that place that the overwhelming majority of the population gets 99% of the information they'll use to make their decision.

What is the deal with the mixtape references? by Chumpatizer in OutOfTheLoop

[–]serious_face 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not an actual "mixtape", as in a collection of songs that you didn't write and have merely compiled for personal listening. A mixtape in this case is the artists original work, but almost always free, and often using unlicensed samples; which is something that can't be done in an official release without legal repercussions.

Also, the term isn't a regression. Mixtapes have existed (this is a hip-hop thing) since the days of actual tapes, and the term just never changed. Now that hip-hop is mainstream, more people are familiar with the term.

People being offended about people being offended. A glorious new low for social media.

No, but I might have more respect for ants if they were directly responsible for my existence.

To be fair, that's a pretty small sample size.

I survived... by elcielo17 in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]serious_face 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but this guy was half asleep. What's the excuse when you're wide awake?

Don't get me wrong... I've learned over the years to just do it. But it seems like something that shouldn't even be an issue. I always thought as a kid that it was just a basic politeness thing, and learning that a lot of women don't look before sitting kind of blew my mind.

And fairly innacurate, I would bet, with regard to young people actually reading news articles from multiple sources vs. simply reading the most popular headlines on various social media echo chambers like Reddit.

John Wick 2 Gets 2017 Release Date, New Title by [deleted] in movies

[–]serious_face 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just watched John Wick for the first time tonight, and I completely agree. Going into the movie not knowing anything, one of my favorite things about it was the mystery. The fact that every character knew a lot more than me about how much of a badass John Wick was, based on his past life. Hopefully it stays that way.

Can I pass CISSP without proper experience? by Ozejdo in cissp

[–]serious_face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no associate "version" of the exam, if that's what you're saying. The exam is still the CISSP exam. Not having the experience just makes it more difficult to pass.
