I've never met a Palestinian but every Palestinian I've ever met has been a terrorist.

Oh that was pretty much what I was thinking. Unanimity does make it a bit of a pain in the ass...

I was thinking something like withholding their seats in the Parliament and keeping Orbán from the Council. No representation in the EU but still a member on paper.

My issue with kicking Hungary out is that, ideally, the EU would like to include Hungary; expansion is the ultimate goal. By removing Hungary now we're just making more trouble for ourselves down the line... I just think a less bureaucratic---perhaps cautionary---measure can get us the best of both worlds: Hungary has limited influence on the EU's politics, but there's no need to go through the process of excision and reintegration, down the line.

Not sure if this is silly, but it sounds reasonable to me.

I'm a big fan of buttboy, personally.

I despise Hungary's current policy and social positions as much as the next guy, but I find it hard to believe contraction is the answer.

I'd be much more inclined to support a sort of containment procedure for toxic members, such as Hungary; rather than removing them from the Union simply remove them from meaningful power and influence in Union business until reforms are enacted. Maybe this is silly and I'm assuming this isn't really something that there's provisions for in EU regs but still.

Just my thoughts.

It was not the first time I got that response. I genuinely don’t know where people get this from?!

there's a lot of assholes out there! i think its always best to remind everyone that we should be kind to each other, especially when we disagree or misunderstand each other

i didn't mean to imply you're an asshole haha sorry if that's what came across

i think your response is sensible

I'm not too into Flyana but they're not half-bad. I remember them blowing up on TikTok. I do love Simz too but don't see her as mainstream.

Right now, my favourite rappers are MF DOOM, Kendrick, Denzel, and Tyler. For a few weeks now I've had King Geedorah on repeat, pretty much. Is that basic? lol I also like A-F-R-O.

If we're talking women then I'm big on Little Simz and Doja, but that's about it really. I've listened to some Noname and liked it, as well.

I'll check those out!

lol that's absurd

i think it's important to not mock those ridiculous questions, no matter how bad people act towards you, though. im not a vegan myself and i can imagine people being genuinely confused and saying some very weird things

I found out about her after her feature on Denzel. I'd heard some of her songs before randomly but never got curious enough to look her up until her verse on HOT ONE.

Her music sounds a bit samey IMO, but her talent is undeniable; she's got flow, lyrics, and charisma. Also... She's newgen, no denying that.

I strongly dislike the majority of mainstream fem rappers out right now (Cardi B, Megan, Sexxy Red) but I think Tia has some gems.

Thoughts?

I think this meme is really funny...

 
 

Thoughts on his new stuff?

Buried Alive, now Together.

Both are pretty good, IMO. The pen is there, the beats are nice... It's getting me excited for his next project!

[Frieren] I'm going insane (cdn.myanimelist.net)

Anxiety is starting to take hold of me.

If brain-in-a-jar theory is correct, I'm currently being absolutely DRENCHED in some sort of anxiety inducing chemical; my hands are clammy, sweaty, my knees are weak, and I can smell my mom cooking some spaghetti so I'm pretty sure we all know what's about to happen...

I was waiting for Sousou no Frieren to finish airing to gauge people's reactions to the ending before I decide whether or not to watch it, but I caved.

Everyone and their momma is talking about this show, FOMO got me

But now what I feared most is coming true, and I can't help but tremble at the prospect of Frieren ending on a cliffhanger. There's 4 episodes left in this season. If Madhouse hits me over the head with a cliffhanger and I have to wait a year for season 2 they might as well cast Zoltraak directly into my heart.

Has anyone read the manga? Am I going to suffer terribly for my rash decision?

Also, this show is really good right?! Love it very much so far, no wonder it's topping MAL, I wonder if we really do have an all-timer on our hands.

Peak romance!

I absolutely loved this show. I've been looking for some nice romance in the past few weeks, and this really hit the spot. It's a classic really, there's a reason this gets recommended every single time anyone asks for romance recs.

The way Lovely Complex explores insecurity is simply beautiful, the constant hesitation, the fear that you might not be enough, and the certainty that begins to come over you as you fail over and over again at achieving your goals. Your fears manifest, a confirmation that your own body, that which you were born with and cannot change, is wrong. But through all that, the persistence of the characters, the way they persevere through these tribulations, is truly inspiring.

The setting is very adolescent, and this is a love comedy so even the most emotional moments are somewhat light-hearted. I think that's good, actually, it keeps the story flowing; the show is incredibly well-paced. I said adolescent, because it is set in high school and that's what the characters life revolve around, but the themes are very mature. I mentioned the insecurity, which the main theme of the show, but many episodes also touch on what it means to be in love, to be in a committed relationship, and what sacrifices one must make to maintain healthy relationships with those they care for.

It's beautiful.

The production quality is top notch, though very much outdated. It's Toei, the animation and music are both great, and the voice acting is fantastic too. Especially Nobu-chan, Higashi Saori might just be the GOAT. I'm not even joking, this was an all time performance by her.

What do you think?

Amiya Aranha (static.wikia.nocookie.net)
 

I recently came across Amiya Aranha.

She's an indie Retro VTuber, previously of Tsunderia's 3rd Gen. She's also an incredibly talented singer.

Here's one of my favourite covers by her: If I Ain't Got You.

She's super dorky, like SUPER dorky, and absolutely adorable. I guess she's relatively large for an indie at almost 20k subs on YT... But I still feel she's underrated lol.

Check her out!!

Dumb fun!

TikTok has been repeatedly and forcefully shoving GTA gameplay-attached clips of the movie Tag (2018), directed by Jeff Tomsic, down my throat. Perhaps my watching of this modern masterpiece is symptomatic of my as of now undiagnosed Stockholm syndrome, and a direct consequence of an easily influenceable mind. Regardless of my personal psychological shortcomings, this movie is surprisingly good.

I came in with VERY LOW expectations, but turns out it's just dumb fun. Ed Helms, Jon Hamm, Jake Johnson, and Hannibal Buress (hunk alert, wee-oo) all delivered good performances if you close your eyes, plug your ears, and pretend you're watching another movie, that is. Jeremy Renner and Isla Fischer, however, did actually pull off some pretty nice scenes. They didn't overplay the slow-motion shots, and I think they were pretty humorous. The action was well-choreographed and creative.

After the movie was over, I started immediately scouring the internet for self-hypnosis techniques in order to forget the incredibly odd Rashida Jones love-triangle arc. I was unsuccessful, but I believe I can keep on living through the sure-to-come recurring nightmares of bad, senseless plot lines.

The main plot, on the other hand, was decent. Nothing too special, but it's a whimsical concept! Really, isn't that what movies are all about?! ^(No.)^ Regardless, knowing it was based on a true story made it way more fun for me than it otherwise would've been, and the constant suspicion of basically anything Jerry did was very funny, IMHO.

At the end of the day, I think a relatively short movie that makes me laugh and occasionally flashes some cool visuals is worth watching.
