  • I mean, you could make a credible argument for either but I'm pretty sure Republicans would whine regardless (she was pretty outspoken about how voting trump was a bad idea leading to his comically petulant "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT" tweet.)

  • Her being allied to Trump does not bode well for the regime after Maduro, though

    They have to get to the post Maduro stage first.

    I think it's like Ukraine, yeah, it'd be better if you didn't have to rely on the States but to whom else can she turn?

    If Venezuelans handle it, great and her praising trump costs nothing. If trump helps, there'll be strings but it'll almost certainly be better than Maduro.

  • I think she's opportunistic and will praise whomever will help get rid of Maduro.

    Sadly, US intervention is probably one of Venezuela's best hopes at regime change and trump is childish enoughed to be influenced by petty praise.

  • To each their own. I definitely used to just listen to my own punk shit and disdain pop but the older I get, the more I see value in something fun with a catchy beat that a lot of people can dance and sing to at once. The classic tunes I dig were also pop once before they became old people tunes.

    It's like anything, if all you listen to is pop, that's probably not great but if you refuse to listen to any, you're probably missing out.

  • which apparently is worth being downvoted for

    Yeah, that surprised me. My guess is that your comment came off a little "how can this be popular if I haven't hesrd of it?" Which feels kinda boomery.

    Don't know what to tell you, he's been on Canadian news a few times, subject of at least two Economist articles, BBC articles, Guardian articles etc. Maybe you missed the reports? I mean, if you don't know the name of the guy announced to headline the Super Bowl (by definition, fairly goshdarn famous) it's not like you'd be expected to be in touch with who is popular etc.

  • I mean, if you're haven't really listened to arguably the biggest artist in the world, are you really surprised you don't know about the other big ones?

  • That moment when we realize we're at the ppint where pop culture is passing us by rather than being targeted at us...

    (Honestly, if it weren't for some of the younglings on my soccer team I'd have only learned about Bad Bunny in the Economist, which is a pretty embarrassingly uncool way to learn about pop culture.)

  • According to number of streams it'd be Taylor Swift or Bad Bunny, but Bunny has a much smaller catalogue and fewer active years. (And I think conservatives would be as annoyed if Taylor played as she was pretty outspoken about trump.)

    But yeah, his music has been everywhere. Anecdotally, I think it's been played at 3/3 weddings I was at this summer, which I thought was neat considering none of the couples speaks Spanish.

  • Does he actually not remember he tried this less than 6 months ago and already had to back down?

  • Absolutely. Making fun of their hypocrisy almost feels like shooting fish in a gun-sized barrel at this point.

  • It just seems wild to me. They have almost 2K comments and if they're mostly like this... Like, it doesn't seem enough to be trolling just... unpleasant? Blech.

  • 1,758 comments in ten months with a 34% up/down ration, I can't imagine choosing to spend so much time being so unpleasant and seemingly unhappy.

  • In the post, the thing about which you are commenting, there's the death total provided by OP. There are hostages, taken in the attack who died as a result of being taken hostage.

    I provided both in the comment in this post.

    I have no idea what accurate tallies you are demanding or what they would have to do with the Guardians headline. Are you a bot?

  • YDI, You’re not really correcting numbers but speculating.

    There's the "day of" death total provided by OP. There are hostages, taken in the attack who died as a result of being taken hostage. These two numbers, with some margin of error, give the casualties listed by the Guardian.

    To declare the hostages as somehow being counted differently is as stupid as ignoring radiation poisoning when counting the casualties in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    If you want debate as to whether whoever deserved what, you can do that with someone else. But your gross perspective does not change the number of deaths that resulted from October 7th.

  • I think you might mean quite a bit earlier than the bronze age? I'm not an expert by any means but my understanding is that the Egyptian bureaucracy and a tax system meant that slaves could build the pyramids in the bronze age.

  • Holy shit kid, I was going to give an actual response but then, good God, read your comment history. You seem determined to be miserable at people.

    I hope you are more pleasant in real life and/or things get better for you.

    Take care.
