Simon Biles is amazing at gymnastics, let's get this straight. She didn't need to prove anything to anyone. I also do think it was best for her to step down

Regarding performance, mentality is key, especially in solo sports where the light is all on you. When I did shot put, if I put negative ideas and such into my head, it would ultimately lead to poorer results in my throws as such. Being in a proper mental state is essential into scoring well and if that is truly the reason she withdrawed, there is no issue. Mentality is key to the Olympic games and if Simon had consistently negative thoughts and was fighting demons that led to her performing at less than she should, she should resign and allow others to continue. I also could tell the sharp difference between her 2020 performance and 2016. It shows her deterioration (granted her deterioration is still the best in the world), if it impacts US performance, she should resign.

This will not be the end of Simon Biles. For god sake she is insane and so good that a move was named after heard, but other analysis like Charlie Kirk should really be quiet on the matter, especially with little sports knowledge or experience

Giannis is a greek god!!! 

KSI has just released his latest album "All Over The Place." Just like the title suggests, the project lacks a coherent focus and instead tries to build KSI's versality in different styles of music. It is an interesting technique, but does it pay off? The album is all over the place, but is a step in the right direction to build KSI's into a better star

The autotune and instrumental flow well throughout the song, the chorus is catchy and everything sounds sharp overall. Some lines are questionable, but it is a good vibe song

The features of this song carry the song as Future and 21 have mastered the style while KSI is still yet to adapt and fully master it.

Patience is a great song with an amazing instrumental, a catchy chorus, and a great autotune. This was a great 80s reminiscent song with an unique vibe to it. 

The instrumentals and the autotune with reverb and vocals don't match well. The drums are lacking with too much high hats. The autotune also becomes extremely choppy at times.

The autotune is catchy, the instrumental is poppy with a great blend of different instruments. Anne Marie does carry the track with the chorus as KSI can come short in his verses

It's a catchy song with a great instrumental, catchy lyrics. The drop is nice, the instrumental and drums are clean and crisp with Craig David having a catchy chorus

KSI has a strong performance in this section with the autotune and the chorus is very catchy. The instrumentals are very lacking here but the lyrics and flow make up for it

Yikes. The sharpness of both instrumentals are unsettling in this. KSI is weak on the bars and the chorus itself is nothing special, but it's hard to think when the instrumentals are ear piercingly terrible

KSI goes back to some of his roots. His energy his bars combined with the clean piano and drum make this song a great song that seeps back into KSI's comfort zone and does well with it

The piano and sound is nice. The drum is low and crisp and the bars are pretty good. The feature is good but short. The piano is really grimmy and some of the cuts of it are alright.

KSI's vocals sounds off and the vocals of this guy sounds like a British Chris Brown. It's very generic and nothing special and I think it's an overall average song all around

9.4/10
KSI takes a risk with the chorus by going high but it pays off. Not only is it catchy but it is a vibey groove and Lil Durk smashes his verse in a great way. This song is catchy with great instrumentals. My personal favorite.

KSI. It's pronounced MEEEE-KOH-NOS!!!!! Lol but it's honestly really slow and it's good, but nothin great at all and comes off as a reggae Drake with some bad mixing

It's a good song but a #2 charting? I'd disagree with this. It's definitely a nice calm song but to see this as a #2 is surprising when I felt there better songs.

KSI's storytelling in this song is great, the instrumental is catchy and my god I love S-X. He's got a great voice and nailed his parts.

Verdict: KSI comes up strong lyrically from my perspective. Some of the key issues are from autotune and mixing, where I felt his voice was saturated in reverb and unneeded autotune. This was an experimental album to try new styles and I believe he succeeded in reaching outside the box and trying new styles and such. If KSI takes the good in this album and applies to the good of the last album, I believe KSI will have a great album in the near future if he learns from the criticism of this. Overall this was an improvement from KSI's debut album, and could potential be a stepping stone for greater things

Tyler The Creator is a producer and rapper out of California. His latest project was a sort of braggadocios album talking about his success while reflecting on love and such after coming off a heartbreak album? This is a very similar formula Kanye used to achieve massive success when he dropped MBTDF. They both produce and rap which begs the question, is Tyler the new Kanye?

Since Croc has went AWOL and we are still looking for some mafia, I am deciding to start a quick 10-11 game up to see if anyone would be interested in starting. I know there's a queue and people are waiting, but I had a game ready and decided to jump from the On Hold to start this game up

I will try to be as active as I can be with this game, but I am on Summer Break so I will busy during the nights, but I will be up during the mornings and such to try to count votes and such.  

Gonna post the sign ups and see who is interested. 

Please inform me so I can properly prepare

I'll probably be less active since my time is always booked and with me getting a job and stuff, I really want to focus on that over anything, but I will still have a lot of free time to come by and check on this site

It's weird to think about, but I've been on this site for most of my highschool life, and I've been on DDO and DART for all of my highschool time

Body positivity is something that has been floating around with females and how you should feel comfortable in your own skin. The message itself was started by third of fourth wave feminism which I actually think is a good message. Being happy with yourself and your own skin makes you succeed more in life, as various studies conducted by experts in mental health have proven this. The message they created is a great message, but the problem then becomes the double standard.

When I was a male, I struggled with the same love for myself that women do, hating my weight and myself for it. I decided to lose weight so I could love myself again. This standard of body positivity could be applied to men as well (men who don't have toned abs, dark hair or blonde hair, etc.), but modern feminists yet again demean men for their weight while trying to hold us to the standard they want without holding themselves accountable as well. 

The lack of holding themselves to the same standards they want for others goes to prove that modern feminism is nothing more than the defamation of men so that women can be superior to their male counterparts, only proving that the ideas shared of this feminism are extremely dangerous, and how the ideas they share are double standards for themselves, but hey, since the Democrats run everything, you might as well just push the nonsensical bullshit legislation going on. 

I stand trapped in a room of dread and gloom

It's almost as if the world is doomed

The colors are less vibrant the sky is dense

When I try to look in front, all I see is a fence

Wishing for something different from a reality of sorrow

My positivity wears out, for which I need to borrow

I stand trapped in an array of dismay

Pondering the things that happened that day

Can I look up to the sky and say you are better?

Or is reality and religion all fictitious banter

Does Heaven exist and did you make it there?

Was the price you payed worth it's share?

Anger infuses, selfish in act for the suffering it's caused

Reflecting for hours, my time is paused

I stand trapped far away from reality

It feels that I am stuck here for eternity

Lost in a world so big with problem endless
Is this world as great as it says?

The night is young and this is how I think

I try to look up but my heart just sinks

What I would give to see you walk the aisle

To see you radiate your energy, and bring out a smile

The days move forward and while I still haven't felt the same

I still think about the good memories we had at the games

The time shared holds a place in my heart

Even if you are not around and we are far apart

I'll cherish the memories we always made

The love I have for you will never fade

Please ask me stuff

Many people themselves have their turmoils with Lil Nas X with his satanic video. I'm not here to discuss that, I'm here to discuss his music.

Lil Nas X has the potential to be a generation defining artist with his sound and lyricism. Lil Nas X has shown to has an insane vocal range from hard hitting songs with tons of emotion like Montero and Old Town Road, to having a more somber and melodic tone like SUN GOES DOWN and C7osure. His unique variety in fluxuating styles such as country hip hop, futuristic hip hop, rock hip hop, hip hop, and even lofi show he has the vocal range to dominate the charts. He's proven himself as an artist who can create a successful song that is catchy and meaningful.

His lyricism is not only deep, but has impact, meaning and weight. He brings his experiences he has dealt with in different ways throughout his time. Even his themes sometimes vary and while his lyrical complexity isn't the greatest, I've certainly heard worse from artists. His words pack a punch that targets a lot of people in general and tells an overall story.

Finally, I think he will generation defining because he is LGBTQ+. He has given a platform for many people to feel as if they are not limited in this world by being gay, and to do what they want. Lil Nas X's success post-coming out proves even more why he can be a generation defining artist. He's also very much in contant with his fans and has a close interaction with them, unlike other artists and is self aware of himself. This self awareness is leading him to achieve massive success.

Lil Nas X has the potential to be the next generation defining artist with his style and beliefs. Whether you agree with his satanic videos or not, he makes some great videos and will be around for a while.

The creator of the Berserk has sadly died. He was a great manga author who made one of the best mangas to date. Rest in Peace legend

CNN finally fired Adeel Raja after his comments about the world needing another Hitler. He was known for these comments for ages and was not fired until then. He was taught antisemetism from a Pakistani government and even won an award for hating Jews. Yet people still defend Islam, saying it is a peaceful religion. These are the people CNN hires.

Who gave the go-ahead to write this script? This is so cringe

The destruction of small business's are an example of a liberal agenda that promotes laziness.

The minimum of wage of $15 an hour will kill off small business without a doubt. States with higher taxes that have to pay their employees more will suffer more unless they are big businesses. People who are boycotting their jobs are forgetting that these people need workers in order to operate and that many small business are failing because there attempt to be lazy? But I have stated before that a surplus in welfare will lead to more lazier people and a refusal to go back to work? I have said from the start of my DART experience and it looks like I'm proven right. Small business are collapsing everyday due to these absurd regulations.

When the stimulus checks came in, the jobs decreased and people didn't want to go to work. People got paid for being lazy and doing nothing. You are just ultimately hurting yourself by refusing not to come to work and someone else coming to help you. You will not be re-hired if your spot is filled and that person will be making a good wage.

Laziness gets you no where in life. Stop using it as an agenda.

For those who do not know, Orthodox Easter is celebrated at a different day from American Easter, as Orthodoxians celebrate Easer using the Juliute Calendar while Americans use the Georgian calendar.

As an anime fan, I'd like to share some of my guidebooks on anime and what I would recommend. I will be giving lists of best starter for shonen and romance (starter meaning shows that are quality, but also don't set the bar too high) and then will be giving my must watch and should watch, while also stating which shows to avoid. The difference between a should watch is that the series itself is a series that isn't great IMO, but you should definitely form your own opinions about.

My Hero Academia is one of the best Shonen starters. For one, it has a lot of the tropes that you typical see in Shonen series that get you interested in the show without a doubt. There are definitely arcs that executed well and there are some great moments in MHA, and I think while it is cardboard, I think it is the best for new people

Toradora sets up the basis of some of the romance aspect well. It isn't the best by any means, but there are some great moments in Toradora. I'm still watching it, but it is definitely a great start romance.

Steins;Gate is a masterpiece without a doubt. It's tackling of time travel and it's intriguing, likeable, and fun characters make this show entertaining. I also think the plot is amazingly executed and overall does really well at creating twists, moving the plot forward, and being an interesting story

Attack on Titan is a must watch. It is the most popular series right now and for a great reason. It's dramatic fight scenes, it's plot twists, it's epic fights, it's concept that is unique, and the dialogue of each character, make this one of the best series' out right now. While I do think S1 was slower paced, I think it picks up quickly for a thrilling show with great characters

BGS is a great romcom that tackles many of the issues that plague us in an unique way. There are likeable characters, interesting plots, and very great interactions of characters that really move you

ReZero is Isekai done right. While I found this show annoying for some parts, the show picks up later on and becomes an interesting character dive exploring characters in interesting ways and lights, also leaving behind a hint of mystery. I think it's great series to watch, but the criticism's I hear are valid as well

I thought Fairy Tail was stale at times with repetitive plots and very little character development and a poorly executed plot. However, I enjoyed the bond each character had, the extreme likeability of each characters, some of the arc, and the feeling of brotherhood. I thought this anime was ehhh, but the points for it's favor are valid.

Quints take some time to develop the characters. The plot itself is pretty cardboard harem, but the character develop of the girls and the quirks of each are funny and really enjoyable. I do think the animation is worse in S2, but this show I think is good at what it does. However, this is a harem genre and is somewhat of an acquired taste and also the criticisms of this show are valid

Make no mistake, I think this series is great and unique for the harem genre, but this show has nudity and lots of sexual references. It is a 17+ show. This really does not appeal to newer anime fans who have a fresh taste and may not enjoy that type of stuff in their shows. It is perfectly OK and I WOULD recommend this once you grow older and more diverse in anime, but this series is not for starters

Make no mistake. This show is popular, but it isn't good. The main characters are dull, the plot is poorly executed, arcs are repetitive, no power system. There are better isekai's to watch

Veteran anime watchers should watch this. It has a lot of anime references and jokes only seasoned vets can understand and won't cater to newer audiences such as yourselves. I haven't even watched it yet, and I was told to wait to watch it

FourTrouble - You are Erza Scarlet. The fierce swordswomen from Fairy Tail, you are an S class wizard who has the ability to equip different armors and swords to give yourself an advantage at battle. You are a tough and fierce character, but also show your soft and kind side countless times. Because of your ability to equip different armors to give different abilities, you are a Maker. Each night you may make the Ataraxia Armor, Clear Heart clothing, or the Celestial Armor. You may give this armor to someone in the same night phase. You win with the town

The Facts of the Case

The Opinion

Earth - You are Jellal Hernandez. You have a plethora of different magic abilities that make you a strong wizard. Childhood “friend” of Erza, you were corrupted by Zeref and were evil for some point until Wendy healed you, where it was revealed you lost concisus and didn’t remember anything that happened. You soon figure out what happened and wish to atone for the sins you committed since your reputation is ruined. Because Erza and the others know of your innocence but the rest of the magic world does not, you are the Miller. You appear guilty on cop investigations. You win with the town.

RationalMadman - You are Doranbalt. A magic council member that has the ability to manipulate memories, you were assigned on a mission to investigate the inner workings of the Magic Guild and erased your own memories of Fairy Tail in order to do so. Because you investigated the magic council successfully, you are the Cop. Each night you may choose someone to investigate. They appear either innocent or guilty. You win with the town.

It's that time of year, where March Madness comes and goes!

What are some of your predictions. It's gonna be a tough year to predict with so many new teams. I personally think Illinois wins. They got great chemistry all together and are led by some great veteran talent on that team. Cockburn is a beast along with Ayo Donamasu along with the key role players. They also topped their division, by defeating Michigan, Iowa, Purdue, and Ohio State, all of which were ranked and are #2-4 seeds. Winning the toughest division in the league, having a ton of momentum, and the points they score, I think Illinois has this tourney.

I have them beating Bama 72-65

The Super Bowl is the Chiefs and Bucs. I usually do a playoff prediction, but I was honestly 100% right with my predictions this year (yes I even had the exact SB and got everything in the playoffs right). Ultimately, I believe the Chiefs win 

Chiefs have a more effective offense that flows, a mobile and flexible and better QB. Mahomes has been there and done it, so he has the experience. The Chiefs defense is better as well, and I think the core of TB is emerging in the secondary. While I am not going to rule out Tom Brady and think this will be a much better game than 2020 Super Bowl, I think the Chiefs new, young, and explosive offense is going to dominate over the Bucs
