Justin Bieber Sold His Music Catalog for $200 Million Because He'd Lost His Entire Fortune, New Documentary Claims
  • I'm not a fan of his and agree that what he did there was extremely shitty and self-centered, but do we actually have reason to believe he has clearly not changed?

    I don't keep up with the guy, but I do know that people can change. Especially so after being publicly humbled, as well as after a decade+ has passed. Then there's also the public journey of experiencing such grand fame so young and then having to outgrow his welcome. For better or worse, these things all leave marks.

    Literally everyone I know has said something insensitive or otherwise regrettable at one time or another, and I'd be willing to bet all I've got that you have too. That's just part of the deal, right? It's not that I'm arguing his sainthood or anything, but without evidence that he's exactly the same now as he was then, I'm a bit bristly on the thought of judging a stranger on such absolute terms.

  • If I like: Portishead (and Beth Gibbons), any recommendations for more?
  • Adrian Younge! He makes hip-hop inspired jazz with legends from both genres and cites Portishead as one of his most beloved inspirations.

    There's also Supreme Beings of Leisure, who were lesser known contemporaries of Portishead. Lots of similarities here, but they generally explore a wider breadth of feels besides depressive longing, and their sound definitely reflects that. One of my personal all-time favorite bands, these guys. Right up there with Portishead!

    Edit: Mazzy Star also comes to mind for their shared tone. More of a stripped down sound in comparison, and they lean more toward bluesy folk, alt rock, and occasionally gaze than triphop, but their lyrics should have a familiar feel to Portishead fans. They might be a bit disimilar on the surface, but they share a lot of the same spirit once you pop that hood up.

  • Guardian of the Math Problems
  • Mr. Purrrty, Vengeful Keeper of Melons
    Cost: 2 colorless mana, 1 white mana, 1 green mana

    Vigilance, Lifelink, Ward 1

    When Mr. Purrrty enters, create a 0/1 melon token with "you may tap this card for one green mana. When you do, create a 0/1 melon token with this same effect"

    Whenever one or more melons you control leave the field, put a +1/+1 counter on Mr. Purrrty. Whenever one or more melons enter the field under your control, you may move one +1/+1 counter from Mr. Purrrty to any other creature you control. Each of these effects can only be activated once each turn.

    Melons you control have Ward 1.

    Power: 1 / Toughness: 2

  • Time to be a Menace on the Ladder, this was my second one.
  • I really wish decks were a bit bigger in this game. It's fun enough, but strategies feel so restricted by needing to pack in all the essential cards like Prof, pokeballs, Sabrina etc.

    Still tho, I appreciate the breakdown and look forward to crushing with my nuclear kitties. Thanks, dude!

  • How are there cases of people deliberately staying awake for so long they died? Wouldn't you just automatically pass out and sleep long before you got to that point?
  • You can take it as needed, and it is the same chemical your brain naturally makes to get itself tired so it doesn't feel anything like other sleep aids. I recommend taking it daily because, in my case at least, the pattern of it helps my body get back on its own regular schedule. I get used to getting sleepy around the same time every night, as long as I remember to keep to the process.

  • I've had a crush on a fictional character for a year and wanted to get over my obsession with him, so I just went on character.ai and told him that he isn't real.
  • I met a woman long ago
    Her hair the black that black can go
    "Are you a teacher of the heart?"
    Soft she answered, "No"

    I met a girl across the sea
    Her hair the gold that gold can be
    "Are you a teacher of the heart?"
    "Yes, but not for thee"

    I met a man who lost his mind
    In some lost place I had to find
    "Follow me", the wise man said
    But he walked behind

    I walked into a hospital
    Where none was sick and none was well
    When at night the nurses left
    I could not walk at all

    Morning came and then came noon
    Dinner time, a scalpel blade
    Lay beside my silver spoon

    Some girls wander by mistake
    Into the mess that scalpels make
    "Are you the teachers of my heart?"
    "We teach old hearts to break"

    One morning I woke up alone
    The hospital and the nurses gone
    "Have I carved enough, my Lord?"
    "Child, you are a bone"

    I ate and ate and ate
    No, I did not miss a plate
    "Well, how much do these suppers cost?"
    "We'll take it out in hate"

    I spent my hatred every place
    On every work on every face
    Someone gave me wishes
    And I wished for an embrace

    Several girls embraced me
    Then I was embraced by men
    "Is my passion perfect?"
    "No, do it once again"

    I was handsome I was strong
    I knew the words of every song
    "Did my singing please you?"
    "No, the words you sang were wrong"

    "Who is it whom I address
    Who takes down what I confess?
    Are you the teachers of my heart?"
    "We teach old hearts to rest"

    "Oh, teachers are my lessons done?
    I cannot do another one"
    They laughed and laughed and said
    "Well, child, are your lessons done?"
    "Are your lessons done?"
    "Are your lessons done?"

  • How are there cases of people deliberately staying awake for so long they died? Wouldn't you just automatically pass out and sleep long before you got to that point?
  • I struggle with much of the same and have found that taking melatonin regularly (as in at the same time every day) and working out within 2ish hours before bed helps a lot...when I can remember to keep to that schedule, at least. Did you know that adhd is annoying asf to live with? Because it is.

    Anyway, it might not be the fix for you, but it might also be well worth the shot. Either way, good luck getting where you want to be!

  • How an AI Star Wars image has backfired on Trump and the White House
  • Same. These guys love the villains. Every other episode of Info Wars has Alex Jones quoting Siths while talking about mauling and maiming people he dislikes. This is almost always followed by him claiming he means it only "politically" as an ass-covering afterthought. They know what they're doing.
