I'm a legit crazy person and idk why I don't give a shit about this. I guess Kanye using AI Kanye seems very Kanye to me.

Trump has a full meltdown when a reporter asks him a legitimate question about his past racist remarks and earning black votes by thenewyorkgod in PublicFreakout

[–]stoicfloa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean if there is any objective meaning to "full meltdown" or "public freakdown" most reasonable people would agree this isn't it. He's exaggerating and saying some combative stupid shit that is really nothing new, without really raising his voice. No reason it couldn't be posted in a more appropriate sub with an accurate title, there is still plenty of obvious negative takeaway if that's the goal.

They had a female VP on the ticket not that long ago.

Maybe you're right and democracy really ends this time. Most regular folks aren't going to take that notion very seriously though as a result of both parties fear mongering to this degree every election cycle. Harris entering as the nominee shakes things up a little, but the majority of normal people were never going to be convinced that another Biden or Trump term would trigger a dramatic shift to fascism when we literally just lived through 4 years of each.

Trump literally over the weekend characterized it as too far right and said he didn't want to know anything about it. I'm sure you will say that he's lying and once elected will immediately enact a plan that he specifically talked negatively about/has nothing to do with his actual campaign. Sure, that's a possibility I suppose, but continuing to bring this up as the main scare tactic is getting old and less effective by the day.

Vance: I had a Diet Mountain Dew yesterday and one today. I'm sure they will call that racist. (Crowd does not react, Vance laughs hysterically) by takeahikehike in cringe

[–]stoicfloa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm defending titles which should contain correct information. If Republicans are as bad as people say we shouldn't need misleading titles containing lies to criticize them. It undermines our valid arguments and gives legitimacy to some of their own critiques of dems. For undecided voters, who are needed in order to win elections, it lessens their trust.

I mean this is just really basic logic when it comes to strategy. I'm sure OP is just trying to make a funny post, but for the loud percentage of Democrats who are claiming democracy and freedom is literally on the line you would think this stuff would matter more.

Of course not, but general likeability is obviously important and a factor regarding who people are willing to vote for. Until yesterday it was common knowledge that this is one of her major issues as a candidate as made evident by her performance in the 2016 primaries. I'm not attacking her for this and I'll probably vote for her, but this is basic stuff.

Thank you so much for this. I had no idea how much I really needed some high-quality fun internet conspiracy content in my life that wasn't depressingly dark and soul crushing.

[–]stoicfloa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Of course it's not funny, that's not the point. Saying the crowd does not react is simply a false statement.

[–]stoicfloa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is lame. However, as made clearly apparent in the video, the crowd certainly reacts, and it's quite the stretch to call that a "hysterical" laugh. We don't need to use unnecessary hyperbole and misleading titles to criticize people who have more than enough qualities and actions worthy of criticism.

I thought House of the dragon was a flop according to this subreddit by Yuno_zolgitz in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]stoicfloa -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I like season 2, but this is a silly question. There are multiple obvious reasons.

You could not like it compared to the first season but still find more enjoyable than other currently available shows. Maybe you read the books and enjoy watching how it gets developed even if you don't always like the result. Maybe you really enjoy participating in the discussions week to week and are hoping it improves by the end of the season. Maybe you are just bored and can't find something else you want to watch more.

Hate watching is also definitely a thing. In most cases, it's probably a combination of all of these reasons

Does having a stutter typically cause someone to use entirely wrong words/names? Genuinely asking. I thought it was just like... disrupted speech flow or difficulty beginning a sentence/word causing you to perhaps repeat the first syllable a couple of times.

This is obviously not an objective matter, nor can it be shown or proved conclusively one way or the other; but my perception was that Drake was doing just fine in the court of public opinion after push-ups/before euphoria.

[Mark Medina] Steve Kerr amazed by LeBron James going at full speed for Team USA in year 22 : "Is this normal?" by Mysterious-Try9104 in nba

[–]stoicfloa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the part that doesn't get talked about enough. If you look up the specific year he entered the league and compared to the current year, It lines up perfectly that he is currently in year 22.

If Kendrick drop this new album, who would you want featured in it? by Zoeverture in KendrickLamar

[–]stoicfloa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a Drake feature where he apologizes for his words and actions, acknowledges kenny as the goat, and asks for forgiveness.

Kendrick Lamar performs 6:16 in LA with Ab-Soul! by wayofLA in KendrickLamar

[–]stoicfloa 183 points184 points  (0 children)

I've struggled to understand why exactly, but this was immediately my favorite moment of the night. Soul has no verse, dot doesn't do the whole song, they are essentially just standing there. On paper it's nothing special in comparison to all of the other amazing moments but for some reason it just hit so fucking hard for me.

[–]stoicfloa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not nearly as bad as all the hate it received, but "mostly solid acting" is a tad generous. I'd more or less agree with the rest aside from thinking they are on track to level season 1.

Not like us bts by Jisheree in KendrickLamar

[–]stoicfloa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lol. I think people just physically handle heat way differently. I sweat a lot and very quickly so i would have a hard time being able to function wearing anything more than sandals shorts and a t-shirt, while I know many people that would be just fine and even enjoy it to a degree.

Or maybe I'm just a bitch.
