Call it the JYP effect. I feel like he just comes off as old and creepy here. The song itself sounds dated. He's definitely lost his mojo.(JYP Music Video)

What about candy corn flavored stuff? Like candy corn Oreos?
People who compulsively look at their phone to the point of not being able to carry a conversation drive me nuts, but I also can't wrap my head around people who are like, "I don't even need a phone at all, because I like to live in the present and look at birds and smell people and stuff like that. I use an antique flip phone and even that's more tech horsepower than I need, because I'm not a slave to a pocket rectangle."
JR,I have yet to work for a school district where that wasn't listed within the "Code of Conduct" that all employees had to sign.Do you have any of your students sit on your lap?Seriously, this has really got me "spun" to read some of the nonsense here.I pray you are trolling.I can only imagine all of the other inappropriate things that some do.

So are you saying you would try a candy corn flavored oreo?

Before I got a smartphone, I had to rely on a physical book to translate things when I first came to Korea. I had to carry physical maps of the subway lines. I had to carry a separate camera if I wanted to take a decent picture. If I didn't have things like that with me, I had to waste tons of time looking for stuff, figuring out how to go somewhere, etc etc.With a phone, you can just find the answer and then spend your time doing something you actually enjoy. Like, imagine you had to meet a friend for dinner. They told you where they are, but you're not sure how to get there. What's better? 1) Wander around trying to find them for an hour, or 2) Just go directly to them. Gosh.Fun fact: a guy cancelled our date because I wanted to meet a little later to charge my phone, so it wouldn't die when I was on the subway leaving me no way to contact him if we had an issue meeting up. Honestly the only thing worse than people who are completely glued to their phones are the people who act like the massive convenience of our current technology is nothing more than a frivolity.Oh... oh. That's it. That's the best post.Moonbrie, you articulated that so much better and more eloquently than I ever could've. Smartphones are so #based because it literally gives you access to the collective knowledge and resources of the entire population. That's pretty neat.

So are you saying you would try a candy corn flavored oreo?I would try it and promptly hate myself for it. I enjoy the novelty of trying new things and as horrific as this sounds, there's assuredly worse.

Let's get back off topic here:Is there anything worse than people who insist that the only 'real' music is more than a few decades old, and that 'all this modern stuff isn't even music'?Seriously. The worst. Do I enjoy classic rock? Yes, I do. Is classic rock the Platonic ideal of music? No. Is a Brittney Spears or 2NE1 track in any way 'less' musical than, say, Abbey Road? No. Is Abbey Road a better album? Probably, yeah. Is that in any way due to its age, or the fact that it has lots of guitars and no computers were involved in making it? No.Seriously - people who think any music that isn't a couple guitars, drums, and a bass is somehow inferior are the most insufferable. Also, Kanye West is one of the most talented artists of the past decade.

He's definitely lost his mojo.(JYP Music Video)Yeah, he got a lot of flack for that music vid from the global community, but a lot of the criticism was because he kept talking about nicely-built round asses and the women he used in the vid were basically concave down there. Like only one of them had a legit ass, and she wasn't the one they kept focusing on.When he was questioned about this criticism, he commented something along the lines of, "I don't like girls with big butts." And the follow-up was, "Yeah, well, you apparently prefer girls with no butts."ANYWAY, I think he's pretty creepy.
It's one of my guilty pleasure songs, like "Blurred Lines". It's just so catchy I can't help but like it, but ....

My friends back all dig it, and while I don't dislike them at all, it just doesn't trigger any feeling in my brain at all. Like, absolutely 100% forgettable to me.Also, how do you embed youtube videos? I'm bad.

Quote from: moonbrie on October 13, 2016, 01:35:32 pmShe just can't keep herself from bugging me, though, apparently.On our way up to the classroom, she told me she thinks it's inappropriate to bring coffee to the classroom. I've been here 7 months and no one, including her, ever said anything about it being bad to bring coffee to the classroom before today. Actually, she used to bring me coffee to my classroom. Your coT is full of it. Maybe she has control issues and thus feels the need to nitpick on you? Or maybe she spilled something and has now decided it's inappropriate. One time a coT spilled her tea all over my lesson plans. At least it wasn't coffee. Hasn't stopped her from bringing drinks to the classroom(s).
