Yeah, more than likely they would just trash talk TK. When it is a complete joke, Toru, doesn’t need plastic surgery like their Kpop stars do to look good.
Oh, and I looked into very unsavory details about AllKpop on Reddit. Apparently the forum is a cesspool of toxicity. Glad to have nothing to do with them.
Thanks guys! CAT5, zeus, and you too Rena.
Anyone else have a strange feeling that Sho and/or Retsu will show up again by years end?
Not sure about Sho with the bar that just opened two weeks ago.
And Retsu’s been doing a bit of music as far as I know (didn’t follow that, so I don’t know for sure what he’s up to by now).
So if that’s the case most likely rather Retsu than Sho. But who knows. Maybe Sho will surprise us.
King Dracul Antichrist Pedo Alien. Charles has quite the reputation apparently.
New staff project coming in soon, get ready to help us out, my beloved JRO children XD
The level of parenting and reprimanding and threatening the (apparently sexual deviant and crazy stalker) fan base of Madmans Esprit that certain accounts do is insane. It seems to also be something from up on high not just people in connection with the band. I’m curious if it’s only foreigners or if Korean fans act like this as well because it’s not even that crazy in Japan. Is there a Korean version of Tanuki? 
Is it basically a crazier version of what happened with the GazettE as soon as they blew up overseas or something entirely different?
I would have put this in the latest ME thread, but I already posted three times in a row. 
Man now that the queen’s gone the new catchphrase doesn’t really roll of the tongue “god save the queen all dressed in green” now its “god save the king. Nevermind that how hard is it to get an honest opinion whenever I ask” should I got to America or europe" they all say “go to America” I ask what’s wrong with your country and they all reply with the same coy answer “shit people, shit things, blah blah blah” don’t mind ungrateful picks but having a friend where I just talk too seems just idiotic and uncomfortable especially since all the jokes they make are sexual ones. I know it’s all jokes but sometimes like here I kinda get bored and sick of it all and just go all out saying “I doubt you would make anyone happy let alone a girl” then he replies shut the fuck up ruya. Hit a nerve? A bit harsh? But think about it someone asks you to come to your country I would reply go somewhere else. Not a reliable source of information. I’m just scared of making a choice that will set everything in motion. Hey did you guys know? States like new york or districts like vancouver hands out free drugs like heroin opium meth? The reason is simple really. When nsa monitors deep Web drug sites or cp sites they don’t shut it down, no the purpose is much better. Why destroy all that when you can know which of your population are into these. Good way to keep these people in check not to destroy their addictions or degeneracies God forbid. It’s better to keep your two eye on them. What was I talking about again?
Does anyone ever check vk wikpedia pages? cause it’s absolutely baffling how inconsistent the amount of reaserch was. just look at the girugamesh self-titled and MONSTER, and compare it to the rest of their discography, hell. i wouldn’t even know that Tatsurou and Miya lend their vocals on some tracks in the album if not because of the self-titled page. Another example would be Gazette’s MASS as it have the “Recording and Production” section (surface level shit i know, but it’s still better than nothing)
I think a lot of them are from the times when VK was still a thing overseas, but since the popularity receded those pages are probably not getting update anymore or people just dont care to add more facts to it.
Gazette are popular enough for someone to add it.
Also there is always the thing that someone can go and change it again or wikipedia refused your edit.
Anyone else get blinded by those newer HID/LED headlights? I had a close call today, and this is the second time in a year where they’ve thrown me off for a couple seconds driving at night. I’ve tried the light sensitivity clip-ons for my glasses, but they don’t do a whole lot.
Every time.
Without proper order - one is laid bare to entropy. The ensuing chaos is immense. It’s a natural breeding ground for anxiety, depression, and all kinds of maladies.
I’ve observed one method that people who are trapped in that chaotic, entropy-ridden abyss use to try and cope with their tumultuous state. They try to instate order in spaces where they have no dominion.
This clearly does not work, nor does it alleviate the pains of entropy. So rather than changing their method, these people are so anxious and afraid that they double-down and instead try to force their dominion on others so that they can feel “safe”.
This is doomed to fail.
You cannot destroy entropy. You cannot run from it. And you can never make yourself “safe” enough to avoid it.
Entropy surrounds us at every angle, in every moment. It’s everywhere, and it’s endless. We are finite human beings with a limited amount of influence and dominion - how could we ever hope to destroy, tame, or escape entropy?
We can’t.
The only answer that I’ve found is to align yourself with proper order.
Proper order doesn’t destroy entropy, but it allows you to move through it with a level of peace and hope. It also doesn’t expose you to the point that you’re overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, and other adversarial forces that keep you from growing and flourishing. When you are aligned and properly in order, everything and everyone within your dominion flourishes and prospers in spite of entropy.
Many do not experience this, though, because to align yourself with proper order, it takes truth and sacrifice. One of the major sacrifices is choosing to stand on principle over your very own emotions. And if you can’t make that sacrifice, you can never reach truth because emotions can easily be lead into lies and falsefood. Emotions are great servants, but poor leaders.
The crazy thing to realize here is that those who are stuck in the positive feedback loop of entropy and use the method I described above…their goal is to feel “safe” - To appease emotion first. But safety is an illusion, and some of these folks are so anxious and afraid that they’ll chase down that illusion at the expense of their own sanity…to the point that they’ll try to force their own will over reality itself, if it means escaping entropy…once again, trying to force dominion where they have none.
The catch is that it just creates more of what they’re trying to escape from.
It’s like drowning in the middle of the sea - the more you flail, kick and scream, the more you drown. The more you sink into entropy.
But being aligned with proper order is like walking on the waters of entropy.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
@zeus Yessir, you first introduced me to this concept and it’s been reverberating in my head ever since. My thoughts above are the fruit of a seed you helped to plant.
You’re officially a social media influencer now, much to your chagrin! You can’t escape it now bro!!! 
It’s a very metaphysical way of perceiving the world but then again, I don’t think like anyone else thinks. I’ve moved past trying to control everything around me. My therapist insists that I focus on whatever is within my control, but when you compare what I can control to everything around me it’s an infinitesimally small (but still important!) fraction of the whole.
So why spend my energy worrying about things outside of my control? I realized this about a decade ago when I unplugged from cable news sources because of the blatant fearmongering then. I thought that watching news would be a good way to keep up on current events, but I just found myself worrying about things I could not control.
I feel a peculiar way about safe spaces as well, one that I probably lack sufficient words to describe. But when I was at university, I was the only person of color that was not part of the black student union. A lot of different ethnic groups outside African American would also chill with them, so it was partially a case of socioeconomic status too (completely different tangent), but the main point is that I didn’t feel safe around them. Not any more safe than anywhere else on campus, anyway. It didn’t stop people from drawing swastikas on the wall or dropping neutron bombs if they really wanted to. People got into petty fights all the time over perceived slights, so what’s the point of having a posse who won’t jump in because “I can’t risk my scholarship”? All smoke and mirrors to me. There is no such thing as a safe space to me because I am a target everywhere I go. Different reason, same bullseye on my back. You know you are too. We can hem and haw and worry about it, but that’s just a waste of energy. Take all necessary precautions, stay vigilant, make good choices, and just accept that sometimes things will go horribly wrong anyway and you have to soldier on.
Entropy is just energy. The less entropy in a system, the more order there is, and vice versa. Right now, the state of affairs is absolutely bonkers and it’s very easy to get swept up in it. It gets you aggravated, amped up, ready to debate, and drawing ideological lines in the sand to define who we are to ourselves. That’s a lot of energy spent on introspection to arrive at conclusions I’ve held for a while! I take a good look at the nationalist messages around my neighborhood and I could let it scare me shitless, but I can’t do anything about it, so I don’t bother wasting time thinking on it. I’d rather direct my energies elsewhere.
Like I said, it’s a very metaphysical way of perceiving the world. You have to accept the fact that you aren’t special and that in two generations mostly everyone will forget you existed before you appreciate the true beauty of returning to nature as energy. It’s why I’ve never thought of myself as an influencer, because the only person I’ve ever focused on influencing was myself. I’ve already decided that when I die, I want to be planted under a tree. Once that tree grows old and is ready to come down, turn the wood into a guitar so someone can play me. If the guitar breaks, recycle the wood into something else. I will be around for quite a while in the soil, the trees, the air, maybe some of my energy will turn into food or return to space. And of course, there’s no saying that some of that energy can’t transcend into a different realm or afterlife right?
Any news about what the guys from Lamiya are are planning to do next?
Haven’t heard anything and I really loved what they did as Lamiya.
I was really against Apple Music and streaming until I cashed in one of my free subs and it ends the end of the month. It’s been two months and I really like it and think I’ll keep it.
Went to nostalgia and listened to Ellegarden’s Eleven Firecrackers which led me back to FACT and the Boom Boom Satellites Remix of their song A Fact of Life (my heart hurts every time I remember BBS are gone and Michiyuki dying so tragically) and just learned about Hiro’s band SHADOWS.
Listening to the Alex Jones Show at 2x speed is probably a good way to get an aneurysm.
is there love in space
