I hear you, but most people aren't well informed.

Most people are just trying to get by and are highly vulnerable to oppositional propaganda.

Will the No Kings protests directly change the system? No.

But the fact that millions of people across the country came together and touched grass as a group with some united mindset still matters.

General strikes, government occupation, and corporate sabotage do not "just happen".

These things require mass cohesion and unified goals. These protests are a critical first step in building that cohesion and getting people motivated to physically gather and DO SOMETHING.

Don't let the doomer brains infect you. Seeing ordinary and under informed people work together is a great sign that we still have a chance.

I've appreciated his work towards rehabilitating his content, but this felt like an hour of incomprehensible clips that have little to do with what he's saying.

I feel like this video wouldn't even make sense if you don't know know all of his and H3's lore.

Weird video.

I think it's a talent that a lot of people appreciate, regardless of who wrote the words.

I think the average person appreciates the singing more than the lyrics in general, even in cases where that may be disappointing.

As a writer who has used AI to generate the vocals for songs I wrote, I can tell you that even a great performance of well-written music gives people "bad vibes" when they realize it's a machine singing it.

Most art is a human-to-human experience and having an impassioned performance from a machine gives people the willies, even if a human wrote the song. Especially if they can't tell it's a machine and find out later.

Maybe this will change over time, but I think it's ultimately about what speaks to people the most. Bob Dylan isn't famous for being the best singer. Ariana Grande isn't famous for being the best song-writer.

I don't think that attractiveness alone is that big of a factor.

I rarely get shit from people in a workplace like you described, but it's more because I'm nice to everybody and I don't respond to aggression with aggression.

Most people are reactive by default, which is usually what aggressive people are looking for.

I find that the less aggression you dish out, the less people try to serve it to you.

That said you could maybe make an argument that attractive people have slightly less to be cranky about on average and maybe that makes them less reactive, etc, but I don't think that holds weight.

Most attractive people don't know they're attractive, and those who know it still rarely feel it. Self-perception is a bitch for everyone, no matter how you look to other people.

Great movie, underrated for sure. Their maketing missed opportunities to showcase the point well.

The movie is all practical stunts, broke multiple world records for stunts, and was made to celebrate old school stunt work and filmmaking.

The plot is blatantly corny and cheesy, but in a way that I felt was way funnier than expected, it's a great time!

There's also a documentary about the stunts behind the scenes that was surprisingly fantastic. I think it was on Peacock? Worth checking out.

Been writing music a long time, and now I'm learning how to generate what I write with Ai. This community has inspired me.
