So harry’s singing oldies now..are they finally doing a reunion tour or what I’m getting old......
Rather than arguing with those I don't agree with I will channel my creativity cause that is my gift..arguing is not also its pointless.
Good trouble is the best show ever..more seasons..more drama..callie is amazing, Gael is a cool dad..booboo stewart,,malika, mariana..speculate..everyone should watch it I need more seasons
but seriously tho I started watching it a few years ago and now that shows with women being actual characters who talk, with views and opinions that are...respected are like few and far between seriously it’s such a great show. Mainly female cast, all of them are great very little women being hurt or abused or in awful situations. Which like I personally feel now that I’m 22 and my teen way of thinking is fading..I think that’s great. What we watch gets subplanted in our subconcious. A big reason why women are treated so badly irl is because media is full of women basically being treated as sub human. It may be a thing that’s like a joke now but it’s actually not. I feel like when there are few women led positive shows in the media you can see the effects throughout society. Sadly media does have that strong of an effect on people especially young people. This show is the modern day gold standard of doing women centric shows right.
There were times it came across as a bit stereotypical but they always used stereotypes as a basis to build up and develop characters. Creating along the way a beautiful realistic expanded universe from the fosters..it’s just so good.

[video description: a video by thegentlebarn. it starts with a clip of people grooming a cow's snout with the caption, "5 signs a cow is truly ✨ happy ✨." each of the captions describing the signs is accompanied by clips of cows exhibiting them. they are:
"1. they expose their belly for tummy rubs as a sign that they trust you 2. they initiate gentle physical contact like licking or hugging you 3. they're chewing cud - this means they feel safe & their digestive system is doing its thing 👍 4. zoomies! just like with dogs, this is most often a playful, happy behavior 5. they make a 'purring' sound - cows do this when they're extremely relaxed and content. it's like a big exhale"
in the background is peaceful instrumental music.]
I hate this post so much. so many health issues and billions wasted each year from clogged arteries and disease. Don't romanticize destroying your body. Also some women do not diet for men but because they want to take care of their body. This is such a lazy take. Junk is a sad but currently necessary part of modern life where pizza and soda is more accessible than fruit and veggies. But that isnt something to want to change. In ever country where people overrely on overprocessed carbs health issues follow. Not every older person has an out of shape body. People just think old age obesity is normal and a fact of life but its a fact of junk and unhealthy eating.
Hate diet culture so much bitches will b like “don’t eat processed carbs they’re so bad for you” like and??? So what?? God did not give us grain and stone to grind it with for no reason. Bread is inevitable. Bread is food for the heart and the soul. U think I’m gonna give that up in pursuit of instagram fitness?? U think I’m gonna deny myself the simple pleasure of toast with jam so I can endlessly chase an ever-shifting standard of beauty that ultimately means nothing? In 20 years I will no longer be beautiful and in 60 my body will be vacant food for other, smaller creatures. But the taste of fresh bread? Of homemade donuts and still-warm pie? I will carry the taste on my tongue into whatever follows this life. So like. Stop telling me I should diet lmao. I’m not abt to martyr myself just to get a man to look at me.
good things will happen 🧿
things that are meant to be will fall into place 🧿

jus one thing the xenophobia thing for why western audiences dont respond as well to kpop as some would like.. is kind of played out in an age of spanish music/afrobeats
where tons of english mixed with other languages are flooding the airwaves ( ps it has been for decades sort of thai rap, japanese rap has developed interest across the globe for it's unique contribution to the genre) music and art is still spreading and growing its idol culture that is waning in popularity but it's being framed as people just don't like any asian artists period which isn't true.
Plus it can't be said people just want to listen to music in a language they can understand. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Yes the radio has it's people picked but that is simply big money controlling what it monopolizes. That isn't reflective of the real world and how people feel. During times where black and white communities were almost completely seperate black motown artists were very popular on the radio
They don't push kpop because they don't have a financial stake in it it's little to do with what the people want. Though the public doesn't really like kpop all that much either compared to say regular pop, but the you cannot say it's due to language and cultural barriers. Because that exists in the us. There are towns that can be up to 80 percent one race, many people live mostly amongst their own race and immediate culture in some small towns and even large towns in america. It isn't the multicultural paradise it's framed to be. Someone who lives up north can be completely ignorant of southern culture/slang and verbage up to the point where they literally don't understand what their "fellow american" is saying.
There are people in america that can't even understand what 90 percent of what us rappers are saying by proxy of heavy heavy accents especially dealing with southern rap I'm from the south my brain has to recalibrate sometimes trying to figure out what they saying. People are simple they like stuff that makes them feel good and soundwaves that give them butterflies. kpop is simply not investing money into good producers and too many untalented nepo babies running the kpop industry. Lsm is gone, jyp is old and out of touch and yg is in jail these young club new rich chaebol kids are now doing the producing with absolutely none of the respect and admiration the old heads had for real music.
They are so in a tizzy with what to do next they are trying to make a korean one direction you can't make this stuff up
No surprise this is how kpop has survived this long mimicking and changing just enough to stay alive and outlive it's competition.
They can make a hit but not a classic. Many kpop fans are into the cult of personality completely disregarding the quality of the music the baritone, rifts, originality are unimportant, loud belting is impressive autotune can fix the rest. So ofc in the age of ai kpop will be targeted 1st. Many mainly care about the fanservice and wanting to interact with idols more so than the music everybody knows that. Particularly in places like Korea where this is apart of the band's marketing.
Whereas American promotion is more focused on western forms of promotion
because of these different promo styles you are getting different deliveries but in the end it's still a show being put on either way. Making music the backdrop and making the way companies secure their bags less obvious. It's hard to see a group of coworkers that hug, kiss, and spend every waking moment together as a company project. They are a family. They are also dolls that can be paired with one another or other dolls from different play houses.
Which isn't anything new but it's something we as consumers don't think to deeply about. If it's in front of you it's a product even if you don't spend money on it.
Where energy flows money goes. Interest in relationships lead to interest in albums
and when fans across borders and languages don't get there dopamine boost from these relationships they revolt.
I liked kpop for the theatrics in america its mainly the theater kids that like kpop and the artsy kids. The music and visuals is even loosing that appeal and becoming more tame and predictable(I assume I don't listen to music like that anymore.) But I wonder how they will usher in the ai idols thing, through tv and movies, anime, my guess is 1st realistic high grade chat bots and since they have a 360 deal they can use there voices and images as well I believe the best sell to these fans is interface.
lmao. man if they can up the programming and personalize it a real deal smart celeb bff lord.......they will have the souls of many.
This may be why so many group members are being allowed to leave without a war breaking out. Once they introduce this into kpop fandom wise this will change everything. After that experiment it will spread to different parts of the world slowly but surely. everybody gets their own person demon in an angel's body inside a screen..sigh. It's the closest the common person would get to having an actual robot I believe that would be way way to expensive but I won't doubt some people taking out loans to get one. The new wave of capitalism emotional money laundering.
blackpink will be having a vr concert on the 26th
Aespa already had one and since the concept is ai metaverse in it's inception this is most definitely not a one time thing
Sm has been ready for this for quite some time but because of gossip and company public distractions few paid attention of the bricks sm has been laying for the company and its artists future
"Addressing the tie-up in a statement, SM Entertainment CEO Sung-su Lee indicated that his company can “see the opportunity for our artists in the metaverse.” “SM is excited to expand our market to include metaverse content for artists using AmazeVR’s industry-leading VR technologies and proprietary concert creation tools. We’ve had a great interest in this market and see the opportunity for our artists in the metaverse,” the SM Entertainment head said in part."
This was a thought of mine awhile ago but it seems fans intense care for the idols has successfully allowed the companies to move the fans blindly into the next direction. I shouldn't have to say this is way bigger than music. Mark Zuckerburg has been pushing for the metaverse for a very very long time and it's no surprise that companies such as kpop one's who are always looking for new sponsors fell right into this global agenda.
Multiple movies have already been made
and it's interesting to see how people will respond, reject and eventually except this new reality since it's their favorite people pushing it to them
The commoners are also to blame, they planned on contributing to the upper class and becoming apart of it rather than change it. That is the ultimate goal of the average human. To join not change. It's humanity's own hive instinct that is the true downfall. The rich or powerful is such a pointless term. People agreed to give power to the few because they hated their enemies more. They wanted to keep and block out others, so they pledged allegiance to leaders who will guide them in wars to destroy their enemies. The true enemy is ego. Do people who live in the jungles feel inferior. Do they demand money? No, they don't even know what that is. They don't care. If you play someone else's game of course you won't beat them. Giving value to the aristocracy is a mindset. Workers in the end were invented to replace indigenous people who lived off the land. There are no workers in nature. It's an unnatural process. There is only adding to the group your own family. Everything else is fantasy. Rich people don't know you and you don't know them. It's only the ideal of a society that makes everyone work together. That makes 100 people work for one person or a thousand people pay a membership fee to a store to buy food from it. There's nothing like it in nature. So of course one person will screw over the other. It's impossible to demand loyalty from someone who doesn't care about you. And why would they? Nothing in the movie talked about dismantling capitalism or giving back to nature. It's such a sham of a movie. Rich people love it because they recognize it as commentary of how desperate and envious poor people of them. And poor people think it's the rich upper class admitting that they are bad people. In reality it's simple showing both truths from a neutral perspective. Korea is one of the most classist places on earth. Poor people are treated as subhuman. The movie cast is full of rich people. It's barely a critique and if it is it is a very ironic one. No real lessons were taught and obviously nothing was learned from the film seeing how much people love it. It was simply another puff piece to make the upper class feel clever. The irony is poor people all over the world spent money watching this all while feeling like it was for them. That if anything is the lesson. Stop trying to get rich people to understand wealth inequality. The lion will NEVER feel bad for the gazelle. But having a victim mentality is even worse, selling out one another as a response is why the poor are still the poor. Spending money on, promoting and endorsing movies that glorify rich people's ignorance is why we cannot complain too much.
when parasite said the rich can afford to be kind, when parasite said global warming is most catastrophic for those least responsible, when parasite said the rich are the ones with access to sunlight, when parasite said the efforts of the working class are invisible to their exploiters, when parasite said water only ever flows from the rich down to the poor and never in reverse, when parasite said the rich are the real parasites for leeching off of their workers' labour
