I've been following it (watched most of season 2 and some of season 1). Was really sad to see Moro Anon and Aoki Yuka eliminated. This is definitely the most unpredictable season of Produce I've watched, seems like there are a lot of potential dark horses.

My favorite since the solo cams for "Leap High" has remained Rino (and Ran) and it looks like she might be having a moment next episode (honestly her whole team for "First Love" is probably in my top 11 at this point). She reminds me so much of Taeyeon. I liked "Tokyo Girl" the most from the group battles.

"I want Israel to stop commiting war crimes and atrocities"

"But that's unavoidable!"

"No, it really isn't"

"It is. If Israel don't commit war crimes and atrocities, they won't be able to exist"

"Maybe Israel shouldn't exist then"

"Antisemitism!

Basically how every conversation with Israel shills goes

What do you think happens to the Jewish people if Palestine extends from the river to the sea? Do you think they peacefully co-exist together?

Unironically using TDS

When that happens on a large scale and those people feel political discourse is no longer an avenue to get what they want, we'll start seeing a massive rise in domestic terrorism. It's already starting

The old quote "when conservatives realize they can't achieve their goals democratically, they won't abandon conservatism they'll abandon democracy."

"Hamas is Isis."
So they are going with the allegations that Israel funds ISIS like how they funded Hamas?

Justice for Princess Peach!

Chorus comes off a bit better in a performance.
That stationary moment in the choreography on the last chorus was cool.
Took more notice of how the adlibs are trading off on the bridge. Little surprised Giselle appears to be doing that falsetto when it switches to Winter, but it's kinda lame they hide her in the back while doing so.

Right now I'm not sure how the chorus sits with me on the first listens, but the verses and bridge were nice. It's like listening to....a female EXO.

And finally they give Giselle some decent looks.

not hating, but I don't think I'd be caught singing along like these dudes lol.

I'm a little curious if management is targeting an older audience in the US as opposed to Korea.
Or is it just because it's just a bunch of guys making it out to Blizzcon and Grammy....and MTV Fresh (the host there actually posed his questions really well imo)....

imo I don't think it's the talent as opposed to the production and some petty things. Wonyoung instantly became a prime target (like most group centers) for the dumb criticisms. The talent is unquestionably there.

Otherwise I guess that whole Starship manipulation thing also has some people hung up regardless if there was any truth to it or not.

soty

Muslims lived in Ottoman controlled Palestine as well you know. In fact that era was highly regarded as a cultural renascence for Jews in the area. Muslims at the time actually protected Jews.

If your point is to argue that Hamas are a terrorist organisation I completely agree with you.

Absolutely true but trying to put that genie back in the bottle now with Israel a fully established state is impossible without igniting an existentialist war with a nuclear power. Two-state solution has its own massive problems but it's an attempt at compromise with the existing situation. Every other option is worse.

Both sides badly need fresh new leadership, which is easier said than done. Netanyahu and Hammas are war criminals and Abbas is inept.

Ironically when it was under Ottoman control there was relative peace in the area. I dont know the situation post Ottoman control but it was 67 the shit hit the fan. The Arabs didnt sign off on the partitioning but the UN / LON went ahead anyway. I dont think it should be undone now but no more than the US being giving back to the Natives or Australia to the aborigines.

Yeah and Im not sure how to process that entirely. I mean wasnt that entire area under the Ottomans?

Historically anyway, I dont think anyone who was occupying conquered land got to decide what their fate would be. Their fate was pretty much up to the mercy of the (edit: conquerers). We look to the United Nations to ideally be the arbiters in these kinds of affairs in modern times, but theyve consistently shown an inability to do so, unfortunately.

Here is some polling data

Two states based on 1967 borders

I dont meant trite comments. I mean a genuine plan for deescalation on both sides thats sustainable that would 100% prevent further attacks by terrorists while also avoiding unnecessary innocent deaths on both sides.

The GOP congress is literally currently blaming the Democrats for not saving them from themselves.

"It's the Democrats fault we're so shit"

They're saying that without irony. Blaming the Dems for not voting for a Republican Speaker.

Even in their internal logic it doesn't hold up, why don't the Republicans just vote for a democrat speaker?

His alt-right fans wont know what to do with this. On one hand, they hate Jewish people. On the other, they like what Israel is doing to the Palestinians.

all of that is well and good except

I remember reading a story, as a kid, where Peter was thinking about maybe revealing his identity to the world, and MJ said he shouldn't because, revealing he's a white guy, he could be taking something from people who could imagine him as part of themselves, or something like that.

I'm not sure how much specific direction Jaden Jeong has on song production, so I'm not sure how much is coincidence vs. as-intended, but either way TripleS in their larger number units is like...more Loona.

"Baddie" is landing a good first impression on me. I think it's just that overall I wanted IVE to detract from the overly-bright sound and aesthetic, because it got a little too redundant imo. And here I think they took a proper jump into something distinctly different, which I think puts their versatility in a better light. That being said, I wouldn't want to see them running this sound into the ground. Just keep mixing it up. That was kinda how "Eleven" rubbed off, and I didn't mind "Love Dive" as a next step, but "After Like" and "IAM" kinda just ran them into a singular direction imo.

Eh, this was a bunch of noise. Do want to check out "Spice" when the album drops

Similarly Sejeong and Somi did a bunch of dance challenges with some of the IOI girls lately and it made me very happy.

Tbt of what wasn't

"Moral"

Yes, it would be morally upright for the two guys to kill a teenager who had committed no violent crime, and had not attacked them.

You, several of you, wanted this kid to be beaten to death with a skateboard, by a pedophile he didn't know, because he was a conservative. You wished that was how this played out, and you are upset that it didnt. you just aren't willing to say it out loud.. how do you justify that to yourself?

He is incapable of constructing an ethical / moral argument hence why he believes the law is completely infallible

Lol nah, im just saying his situation was self defense. Objectively. Factually.

Insulting to who?

Fix your world view if you think someone is a MAGAt just because they don't want to convict Rittenhouse by overthrowing centuries of good legal principles.

Imagine some guy was sitting in the park

Hold a parade for us to throw vegetables at these traitors. Then prison.
