Toon cannot make a post without criticizing the CE population

Most of CE does that lol.

Also that was more an observation than a criticism.

SZA album is good. But its streaming numbers are being carried by the facts it has the best RnB song in at LEAST 15 years on it.

Yall not knowing who Sza is at all tells me yall arent very attached to black culture or people.

Well we knew that already. CEs demographics are pretty obvious once you get the vibe of the posts.

But even I'm surprised people haven't heard of sza. You have to avoid the outside world to an impressive degree to achieve that.

I find that incredibly hard to believe.

Edit: apparently you're not alone either. Yikes.

I imagine a lot of Americans have similar stories given that here a language elective is usually required at some point but not truthfully encouraged.

I won't blame the education system for this one tho. I just lacked the dedication.

Warmer climate means we're going to get more pandemic-style diseases in all reality, so it'll likely be way more common. Climate change is definitely fucking us up already(Look at the Tornado statistics from the past couple years would be an easy one).

Being a small force of good is great and all, but these days it's pretty easy to feel like everything is crushing you under heel in the present, and the outlook for the future is pretty grim these days. Not to mention Millenials going through... three? Four? "Once in a lifetime" economic disasters. I'm still doing what I can for my retirement, but that's strictly because I want time to sit on my ass and play video games when the time comes until I'm too old to move. Most people I know though? They don't care about it, honestly.

That's a casuality loop that's going to guarantee not only their present misery, but misery for their future self as well.

Insane.

Italian's a phenomenonal language. Not much use for it in America sadly. Was fairly prominent up until the early 80s. Sad to see such a beautiful language dying.

I follow a lot of artists especially in the comics scene who are from Italy so thats part of what interests me. Id love to visit someday

I've heard Spanish to Italian is a pretty lateral move that allows you to make quicker progress but jdk

I dont see how he survived this looking at the imagery of the crash.

You know what those people had though? Belief that a future was going to be better.

Today, what do we got? The climate lookin' to give a whole bunch of people beachfront property and waking up all kinda nasty diseases. The economy not really following common sense any more, and even if it does we got crypto doing whatever the fuck it wants with money basically.

Big difference between then and now? Prez gettin' blown away, nukes flying, all that is controllable by humanity in some degree. We can recover. There's a lot of stuff going on right now that we're just incapable of fixing as things stand, and we're trying, but we're still a long ways off making anything better.

Diseases and climate disasters aren't new, but this climate one is a unknown. While itd been a while since humanity has faced a legit one, weev also never had the technology and communication we have now.

Not really a reason to care too much about the future these days.

If you dont care about the future theres no point caring about the present. But people do care about the present, and should.

You just gotta carve out an existence that works and take control of what little you can. Theres value even in being a small force for good in the world, there always has been.

Yeah, I know a tiny tiny bit of Spanish. I wanted to learn Japanese in high school, but my mom forced me to take Spanish instead. I get why, but I wish I had just taken Japanese classes any way.

My first Spanish 1 teacher was from France and had a thick French accent. She said her French accent prevented her from rolling her Rs properly for Spanish. Then she got mad at us late in the year because we didnt know how to roll our Rs properly either. My 2nd Spanish 1 teacher was GREAT. Then she quit because the kids were so bad. My Spanish 2 teacher was OK, but I didnt retain much. We mostly just did worksheets instead of more verbal learning in her class.

My Spanish teacher wasn't bad, I absolutely suck at rolling the Rs, it just doesn't come out right at all. I approach my native language English with a more methodical and thought out way of speech so when I try to speak Spanish it sounds especially disjointed. Its been a while since I even attempted tho. I really gotta get back on it,

That's impressive. I wanna finish leaning Spanish and/or move onto Italian. I could be fluent in Spanish by now but I slacked off for years. I can actually still read it sometimes, simple stuff.

The point is betting on the country collapsing before you have to worry about living after 65 is naive at best.

The last century saw a sitting president get his head blown off while in office; a literal button switch away from nuclear holocaust, mccarthyism putting fascism lite in American homes and more.

Country didn't collapse. It's gonna take something more than what we have now to collapse it.

Yall realize exactly almost 100 years ago people were in an exoonentisllyeorse economic state called the Great depression and they still lived their lives and raised families and stuff because thats a normal human thing to do?

We got a ways to go before we're at that level just sayin

Is there like a higher concentration than normal of people with serious health impairments and doomers here on CE? Lot of people seem to think they, or the country (which is very silly), won't make it to retirement age.

No they're mostly just relatively young and doomers. Once people go outside and gather things in their life that people live for, their perspective changes. The die young thing is a .... young people thing. One I've thankfully managed to avoid. That said I have plenty of health issues but if I got the career I desire I wouldn't WANT to retire

If he's dead this has a chance of getting real ugly real fast

The fact that not only are there people considering the idea that America will no longer exist in a couple decades but even more so that nothing will have changed by the time they are approaching their 70s kinds gives me a whole new perspective on the general sentiment I see on sites like this and other parts of the internet.

Don't be ridiculous. I lean into my vices in a vain attempt to ignore reality right now.

what was his last good film? Honey boy? seems even cornier after FKA Twigs (also stars) accused him of abuse.

still might watch because alcoholism is such a taboo topic in film. I need the therapy :|

Hes gonna be in that francis Ford Coppola movie

I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

I plan on being pretty spry if I make it that long. I am realitievly in ok health

Hes a clown but hes one of the ones that don't seem that smart. So reality will prove him wrong just fine.

Finding out his mom is the exact proof that everything he said was wrong was hilarious

I had the police inform me one was living in my apartment complex about a year ago. I dont think he still lives here, I crossed paths with him maybe once.

People hate Fetterman now?

Yea, they flipped on him completely because it turned out the dude that profiled and chased black people down his street with a gun might not have been the face of progressivism he was claiming to be.

But in their defense he was running against literal Dr oz so... yeah.

When are people going to stop playing with guns like idiots man.

Completely avoidable death. A shame.

Madonna has most certainly not been going on forever lol

She's been irrelevant for the last 10 if not 15 years

She just did a show in Brazil for 2 million people and is constantly selling out tours.

Republicans and lunatics embracing TikTok while Dems fight to ban it rather than acclimate to it is so infuriating.

Didnt house Republicans fully supported the tiktok ban in a rare moment of agreement with the dems

I thought the topic title meant LA as in Los Angeles and was shocked for a second

Its a relic of an older time when people couldn't get phone advertisements and stuff so you literally wouldn't know a product existed unless you were told.

Diddy is COOKED.

He better hope this is the worst of what comes for him.

If you want him to stop posting you need to stop stirring the pot. Harassing everyone you disagree with isn't the virtue signal you think it is.

You're right but now they're gonna say you're defending him/agree with him for being correct.

You have to realize they arent even trying to virtue signal at this point this is literally how they entertain themselves.

Yes.

This is awful.

Yes the AssCreed series is historical fiction. It has played fast and loose with historical figures that we know much more about that we know about Yasuke.

And yet only now they complain.

I've seen people even trying to display it as racist against Japan which is hilarious when Japan has bastardized history plenty of times.

"Historical accuracy".

The games aren't historically accurate though.

So no, that's no what you're upset about lmao.

Persepolis is a good one.

Like we dont try to turn them into someone worthy of our sympathies, like Trump for instance who is obviously irl villain.

That's a very naive take. Media turns rral world villains sympathetic all the time.

And by no life I mean the absence of wanting to do something else

You're already on CE, where else are you gonna find more like this

Like if this was a poster for a movie about his life it would go incredibly hard

Its very cool but I'd have gone for a different color background

If you display an art book for yourself it just depends on how good you want to feel

Thats... kinda how all artwork works. You feel good by admiring the art

I can guess what sites he browses on his free time. Yikes.

This.

I have an artbook with a hand drawn sketch on the inside and am considering thus as well

I picked 4. At least I'll outlive you all
