Let it be. It has been quite some time since we had a good debate, hasn't it?😈

Mike said:Sandra King86, you sound like one of those folks who moved abroad and now comes back acting all high and mighty just to lecture their unrefined relatives back home...

It’s no surprise, given how backwards we can be. Is it any wonder why Americans seem so perfect?🤮

Mike said:edit

Spider😢

Sandra King86 said:I’m happy to give credit where it's due. I admit
that Mike actually won this one with his arguments. Especially those "yes, no, and who cares" types.
If we're being objective, those specific viewpoints remain pretty unshakeable.

It is impossible to beat Spider😁

But seriously everyone, let's skip the grammar lessons. Unless it's absolutely vital, 😉

Pritt said the issue is just dealing with foolish people.

Anyway, you started the thread, so tell me: if you were here in the States right now, how would you handle this?

Since you seem surprised by our typical American indifference, I'm curious...

Sandra King86 said:Maybe you could start by stopping those unnecessary corrections on my spelling.
☕ We can worry about the rest later.

Please, don't.

I really dislike it when people resort to grammar lessons just because they lack a real argument. Are we all just uneducated now? 😢

Sandra King86 said:Am I asking for too much?
Or is being jaded the only thing people value these days?

It seems like this exact thread pops up every single week.

People just get tired of the same old routine.

Honestly, I can't stand those low-brow pop songs. They're tacky and tasteless—it's exhausting.

So, did this thread achieve its goal? 😁

Sandra King86 said:So now I’m the one looking for a taxi driver or a bus driver in Placentia to hang out with? Or maybe those folks across from the cathedral in Jackson who blast techno in their bars?

As I said, I don't take taxis.

If a driver wants to blast techno, that's his call.
To each their own, right?

People probably wouldn't be thrilled if you blasted heavy metal in their car either...

I don't drive around Jackson, so I couldn't tell you anyway.

Jason Chavez32 said:What exactly do you want us to say? Is there even a right answer to your question? Do you actually have a question at all? 🙂 🙂 🙂

Relax, Jason Chavez32. We are simply here to discuss the state of culture in this country.

That is the whole point of the thread. 😉

Sandra King86 said:Not really. They're just contained within their own little neighborhoods. They don't bother me, and I don't bother them.
😬 😛

It is exactly the same here.

As I mentioned before, I don't hang out with people who listen to that, nor have I ever actually heard it anywhere. ☕

Jason Chavez32 said:ok guys, let's do it from the top!

What is the actual goal here?
I appreciate the warm welcome, but what are you truly looking for?

🙂 🙂 🙂

That is exactly what I am wondering.

Every single week we see a thread like this, followed by everyone acting shocked and outraged.☕

Sandra King86 said:Well, if that's the case and those trends have already gone mainstream, then my attempts at being edgy are pretty much pointless, aren't they?
I don't consider myself more "cultured" than anyone else. Why would you imply I'm being arrogant?

They aren't exactly mainstream, are they? I’ve never actually seen them on TV, though I suppose I've heard mention of them a few times.

Sandra King86 said:I respect alternative ways of expression and I agree that kitsch can be considered a form of art, but there is no way turbofolk belongs in my book.
What exactly constitutes a social problem? Which clearly illustrates the pathetic state of this miserable peninsula, portraying and reinforcing bizarre stereotypes that serve as a perfect role model for our youth?

What kind of social issue are we even talking about? People are just having fun. Besides, like rališa said, today it's one thing, and tomorrow it might be something else entirely. Honestly, why should I care? ☕

Sandra King86 said:Women want to be "muscle girls"—that's the new trendy term, right? And men? Forget being athletes; they just want to be mobsters. 😛

Is everything different in America?

We don't have cheerleaders here.

Besides that, isn't everyone familiar with that old question? "If you only had one thing left to do, what would it be?" And the classic answer is always, "Oh, I'd bring world peace!" 🙄

I didn't get around to checking the grammar above. Feel free to correct me? 😳

Sandra King86 said:Maybe it’s because you haven't landed at JFK Airport lately. 🙂
Or were you just riding in some local taxi from New York or Chicago?

Neither.

Where on earth would I get taxi money?

Is that how you see it—luxury rides and high-end music? 😁

Jason Chavez32 said:Look, with her attitude and the mess she's making, she’s basically hitting rock bottom. Honestly, I wouldn't lift a finger to help her even if I could. If you know, you know.😉

Much appreciated.
😉 😁

Jason Chavez32 said:just another pointless thread🙄

If you actually care to know what I think—though I highly doubt it—go ahead and read Rališin's first post.🙏

Really? I was actually expecting a cynical comment from you. Something peak malicious.
☕

Sandra King86 said:I was thinking maybe someone would suggest an alternative to just ignoring it (since you can't really ignore it), but it seems everyone else has built up much more immunity than I have because I'm not exposed to it every single day.

And what am I supposed to do?

Punch people who listen to it?

Besides, I don't recall ever being forced to listen to country music. 🤔

gentlepuma20 The user said:Is there any warning for a sudden sandstorm? 🙂

Things are still looking up here compared to that other thread. 🤮

I'll add a quick thought on this topic, even though I'm honestly getting pretty tired of all these threads about pop singers.

Sandra King86, I don't see why this bothers you. Why not just let people have their fun? Since you live in the US, you shouldn't have to deal with it anyway. 😉

I'll join in on the well-wishes. Happy Easter! 🙂

:notes_to_self:

Friend, could you please provide your address? ☕

😬

My top 5 most singable Against Me! tracks (not necessarily in order)

1. Sink Florida Sink
2. We Did It All for Don
3. Cavalier Eternal
4. Pints of Guinness Makes You Strong
5. Those Anarcho Punks Are Mysterious

And a little bonus track: T.S.R. 😁

Nicholas Perez33 said:I am convinced that ☕
should be enjoyed alone.

I wouldn't say that... you shouldn't mix beer with anything.

Like mixing a Budweiser with cherry juice. It just doesn't work.🤮

Drew Adams58 said:That's like mixing fruit and meat—it CANNOT happen.

But what about prosciutto and melon? 😍

Samuel Murphy6 said:Is it just the grain flavor, or is there some artificial stuff like vanilla, chocolate, or nougat making it taste so good?
And where can I find it?

It's just whole grain—I'm pretty sure they are 🤔—coated in this white, sugary glaze.

But I agree, they really are 🙏

Now that Jason Chavez32 reminded me, those cinnamon Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereals are great too.🙏
