Love it! The next generation is here. Second watch/listen is delicious. Beat reminds me of f(x)!

I kinda don't like when a group gets too heavy on one member, but it's been fascinating how much YueHua has invested into her.

It's a sub unit and the production is great. I actually been bad at getting familiar with every member but that unit does those 4 so much justice. Blockberry does an amazing job capturing the vocal and visual qualities. All the small things...ad-libs, dynamics in their vocals, eye looks, expressions, walks. It's a sensory piece. I sound like a dipshit for saying this, but its stuff weigh in female attraction. This body of work comes of practice and not just privilege.

Maybe only the gun handling is forgettable but that's not a central focus.

The girls are great but Mnet makes the show so boring with the same practice dramas over and over again, ugh. I know that's kind of the show and there's covid and all but I hope they switch it up a little.
Yujin, Yeseo and Yu Dayeon are my K picks, Xiaoting, Ziyin and Chiayi for C (but Cai Bing is pretty high up in my list), Yurina, May and Momoko for J.
Yeah Mnet is going full battleaxe on Friday, about half the girls are getting eliminated.

The coronavirus could be just a few mutations away from evading existing COVID-19 vaccines, according to the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"These vaccines operate really well in protecting us from severe disease and death, but the big concern is that the next variant that might emerge just a few mutations potentially away could potentially evade our vaccines," CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said in a Tuesday press briefing.

She added, though that "right now, fortunately we are not there," since current COVID-19 vaccines "operate really well in protecting us from severe disease and death."

Coronavirus cases, fueled by the highly transmissible Delta variant, have been surging in the US and across the globe largely among those who are unvaccinated. In the last month, the US's seven-day average of new daily cases has quintupled: from 11,887 on June 26 to 56,635 on Monday.

The CDC announced Tuesday that people infected with Delta vaccinated or unvaccinated have higher viral loads (meaning they carry greater amounts of virus) compared to other versions of coronavirus. That means even vaccinated people could pass the virus along to others similarly to how unvaccinated people do.

More transmission means more mutations

All viruses change over time as they replicate inside an infected host. So countless versions of the coronavirus are circulating, each separated by a handful of tiny changes in its genetic code. Many of these have no real public-health impact, but the more people a virus infects, the more chances it has to mutate into a new, dangerous variant.

"The biggest concern at the moment is just the sheer number of people that have the virus and therefore the sheer number of variants that are being generated," Andrew Read, who studies the evolution of infectious diseases at Pennsylvania State University, previously told Insider. "Some of those might be the jackpot which are even fitter than Delta."

She looks like Latina Hilary Swank

Hmm, take this list with a big grain of salt, afaik the only confirmed Korean contestant is Yujin.

Damn ETH almost at $2k

We will never get over this as long as we continue to go soft on countries like India, states like Florida, and anti-maskers/vaccine people in general.

whats the deal with Indian men being really thirsty anyway?

Yeah I more so lean towards time in the market not this get rich quick thing nor do I have interest in buying a bunch of crap. I have the money for a PS5 but I'm good with my PS4 I got like 3 years ago. I barely even play it compared to my kid. Once he's a teen either get a PS6 or a gaming PC for him which won't be much.

Still have time to take risks in my 30s. I paid off my car earlier than needed. Home should be paid off this year or next I guess. Getting an early inheritance from my folks. Depending on what's left over I'd keep as a backup. Then take out a $100K loan to diversify between a bit more crypto and down payment on a 2nd property most likely to rent out. I mostly cook at home since I'm not a huge fan of eating out so I save over $1K a month right now. Plus I take care of my clothes and don't need a lot. I only have 2 pairs of jeans (soon to be 4) and 2 dress pants. And just 4 shorts. A lot of it is just self discipline and my level of interest in buying junk like in my 20s has gone down. I could easily get myself a used Porsche or something, but why bother. I'll see where I am in my 50s and then treat myself.

I'd get financial advise prior to selling it from at least 2 or 3 sources. You could use it to retire early and sell a bit at a time that covers your cost of living standard.

Journalist Siddique Kappan, who is lodged in Uttar Pradeshs Mathura prison since October 2020, has been denied the basic human right to go to a toilet, his wife Raihana Kappan told THE WEEK today. The Delhi-based journalist from Kerala is currently admitted to K.M. Medical College, Mathura.

Kappan was arrested at Mathura by the Uttar Pradesh Police in October 2020, while on his way to Hathras to report on the gangrape and murder of a Dalit girl, which had triggered nationwide outrage. The journalist was booked under the Draconian Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

On April 20, he collapsed in the Mathura Jail and suffered serious injuries, Raihana said.

After hospitalising, he was tested positive for COVID-19, she told THE WEEK. He called me today from somebodys phone. He told me that the hospital authorities are not allowing him to go to the toilet. He is handcuffed to the bed and is not allowed to move. He is urinating in a plastic bottle. He is a human being. He has to go to the toilet too, right?

Are you, by any chance, Jessica Simpson?

fwiw, you could say the same thing about America. Especially at the height of COVID, when Donald Trump ended lockdown weeks/months before he should have.

It is extremely fucked up what's happening in India though. Like no-one ever got arrested for "spreading false rumors" for asking around for medical supplies. Even those fucking scalper fuckfaces who bought every bottle of hand sanitizer and every mask within a 20 mile radius didn't get arrested, though their supplies did get taken by the state.

Why aren't the rich Bollywood stars helping??? Where are they hiding?

I already sent bobs

The Amethi Police tweeted on Tuesday evening that they have registered a criminal case against a young man who took to Twitter to make an appeal for an oxygen cylinder.

The charges include circulating a rumour with intent to cause fear or alarm whereby any person may be induced to commit an offence against the State or against the public tranquility and engaging in acts likely to spread infectious diseases.
