The Russian Military won’t “be” after Ukraine. Wtf are you even talking about?

My mother and father were separated by the time I started asking questions about sex. My mother was super open and cool about it. I got boxes of condoms from “Santa” every year between 12 and 18. My father found out I was ready for “the talk” when an unused condom fell from my pocket during the laundry. I had already been active for six months. Thankfully, I grew up in a very progressive school district, so our sex ed course was comprehensive.

Drugs were a very Regean-era “just say no” from both of them. Interestingly, my best education about drugs came from listening to Blood, Sugar Sex, Magic with my father. He used to wax romantic about the tortured artists that languished under the weight of their addiction; robbing the world of more music while inspiring such remarkable lamentations.

Open denigration of them, Trans folks, women, Haitians, and all non-white Americans.

He is a severely silly person who should not be taken seriously about anything by anyone. Unfortunately, he is taken VERY seriously by a dangerous group of folks.

So you killed one person? To save numerous others? When the others would’ve died through your inaction?

Curious.

No, I wouldn’t watch that interview. I, and I’d wager everyone else using the fediverse, am highly skeptical of large media institutions specifically because they engage in questionable journalistic practices like this.

My point is: there is no scandal here. It seems to me that this story is getting signal boosted specifically to discredit the president. The realities of interviews like this are left out of these headlines and it’s very frustrating.

Yes. I don’t personally understand what the story is here. I’ve never heard of any high-profile politician going into an scheduled interview without a team providing a list of approved questions.

It’s debian-based, but such an outlier from the rest of the linux ecosystem that it might as well be its own beast.

It’s a lot.

I don’t think it’s worth Kendrick’s time (or anyone’s) to respond to “your kid isn’t actually yours”. Not an attack on his character, not relevant to the discussion, and well-adjusted adults are able to move past this kind of infidelity.

Domestic violence would be fair game and definitely worthy of response. I’d be interested to hear what Kendrick has to say. His capacity for self-reflection was apparent in Mr Morale and it would make for a fascinating track. I do not hold out hope that we’ll see any real comments on this point on any diss track that comes from this beef. There are far too many easy targets for Kendrick to fire at and the subject deserves more than one or two lines in between verses calling Drake a pussy.

Nothing that Drake’s talked about so far, but I was trying to be fair. As the commenter was asking for a neutral perspective.

Specifically, I’m referring to Kendrick’s threat to remove his own music after Spotify stated to take down R. Kelly’s work. I don’t think Kendrick condones R-Kelly’s behavior but his opinion is an easy point of attack that Drake likely won’t swing at since he’s a shit lyricist.

Generally these sorts of feuds are a flash in the pan without breaking Kayfabe. This, however, is quite different.

Kendrick Lamar and Drake are two of the most successful artists in the industry. Their music appeals to very different tastes. Drake’s music has been relaxed, poppy, and laid-back. Think of the kind of hip-hop/pop that you’d listen to in a car with mixed company or at a bar. Kendrick Lamar’s work is much less approachable by pop-music standards. It’s more emotional, bitter, and raw. His most recent album feels almost like an explosive therapy session. They’ve both seen regular airtime, but Drake’s music is much more palatable to a wide audience.

Kendrick fans will see Drake’s music (and by extension, Drake himself) as “fake” or as a “sell-out” since his music aims for the most broad appeal possible without making a “statement”. Drake fans will see Kendrick and his music as “angsty”, downplaying Kendrick’s success since Drake is more popular in the “mainstream”.

They both have their pernicious aspects. Drake has allegedly used money and coercion to silence women that he’s slept with, allegedly isn’t super involved with the lives of his children, and allegedly surrounds himself with registered sex offenders (including allegations of questionable conduct coming from his Instagram account). Kendrick has… let’s say “complicated” opinions on R-Kelly and the way music platforms like Spotify responded to his downfall. However, to my knowledge, Kendrick faces far fewer allegations of sexual misconduct (at least nothing that’s publicly known).

What makes this particular “beef” (or feud) exceptional is the degree of vitriol coming from Kendrick toward Drake. And it’s not anything that Drake can really “defend” against. I’m not suggesting that Drake himself is a sex offender, but surrounding yourself with registered sex offenders is horrible optics. In addition, some of Drake’s entourage has flipped, becoming informants for Kendrick and confirming some of the rumors floating about.

Anyway, that’s my summary. Full disclosure: I personally prefer Kendrick’s music to Drake’s. However, I don’t really care too much about feuds in the rap world. I just hope no one resorts to violence.

He is on record lauding Romania for its corruption, citing it as a major reason for having moved there. Dunno what to tell to tell him. He is presently bitching about reaping the exact crop he sowed.

Currently on a factory game kick, so I’m playing Factorio and planning to get Dyson Space Program afterward. There was also a REALLY good abstract factory game I used to play on the Ubuntu software market but I can’t remember what it’s called.
