My preference is Nikola.

I always think these movies end being used as instruction manuals.

This in particular is from Jack Chick, who also belonged to a group convinced that the KJV is the result of a new revelation.

These comics are known as Chick Tracts.

Alls I can say is you’re listening to the wrong kind of music is you think all current music is vapid.

And all I can say is that your reading comprehension is lacking if you attribute me saying that all music is valid. I said “mostly”.

It’s honestly quite arrogant to think great artists stopped at our generation my guy.

And I had said so, I would agree. I, however, didn’t.

In any case, if music is your main focus, you could have used more prominence in the question, because your formulation seemed to indicate that there were other things you wanted to “keep up with” too. If I had understood that music was your primary focus, I would have abstained from participating. Which I will start doing right now.

Do you not believe that music, particularly the lyrics, is a snapshot in time of what the artists ideas and beliefs are?

It once was. Now music is mostly the result of an industry churning sellable platitudes and blandness.

As I believe music is the most emotive form of expression.

When you have sensible artists who talk about things beyond their own petty and minimal experience, perhaps. This is less and less frequent.

In any case, for me music is a very personal pleasure, I don’t compare notes frequently regarding what one “needs to like to be up to date”. I like what I like, and it’s not very transferrable. I rejoice when I find matches, but I don’t want to “learn what I must like” to be “modern” because that “gives me the pulse of the zeitgeist”.

Because they want to keep in touch with and still feel like a part of their community?

By keeping up with music? Come on!

There is huge divide between generations from the elders and it’s usually due to ignorance or superiority and it achieves nothing.

Preferred music doesn’t do much about it. Your focus in it was the main thing that confused me.

If you had mentioned having discussions about ideas I would understood better.

I honestly think your view is weird. Why wouldn’t you want to understand your fellow humans more.

Again, you mentioned music, which for “understanding my fellow humans” is fundamentally irrelevant to me. Discussions about philosophy, ethics, or politics are much more relevant.

Or maybe you just want to understand why they like the music they like and nothing beyond that, which is valid, but painting it as “understanding fellow humans” is a little too grandiose.

So I’m wondering what I can do to keep in the loop with my younger brothers and sisters?

The question is completely weird to me. Why do you care? Why do you think that is important?

I’m childfree and think that too many idiots procreate.

Also, fuck “normal”. “Go forth and multiply” is a religious mandate, which is equally revolting.

to promote stability and perpetuate humanity

I understand in theory the benefits. But I practice for me It would be a nightmare. Being unable to get away from toxic family members would be horrible. And being the outsider… I’m dating you, not your family. I find the idea of “entering a new family” worrisome and distasteful.

I use names of known computers or androids in fiction. My main computer is always Ralf (the computer built by Richie Adler in Whiz Kids), and my main phone is Lal (Data’s daughter). My girlfriend uses other franchises (GLaDOS, Wheatley, Marvin).

If said doctors participate in something that is oriented to appease the public of bullies, I don’t care about their good intentions – they’re accomplices.

The producers don’t care about reducing the health crisis in the US. They care about viewers and the money they bring.

Yeah, in Bullyland that’s not gonna be a popular attitude.

It makes public spectacle of acceptable targets of bullying. People laugh at them safely at home without facing consequences.

If you don’t do your homework and you ask in bad faith, you don’t deserve explanations.

I’m picturing Baby Herman now.

Hope you can look at the world more positively and leave the rest of us alone.

Hope one day you wake up, get out of your fantasy world and join us in the real one. Making it better requires looking clearly at reality, not wearing pink colored glasses.

Less dreaming, less prayer, and more reality.

But please stop this trend of putting words into people’s mouths and negativistic spin on things.

No.

Google “sealioning” and “JAQing off” to understand why not.
