Been relistening to KOTMS II and this feature list still blows me away

Is anyone else not able to see all of their followers? It's says I've got 50, but I'm only seeing 20😭

I have to know

Love experiencing this until I wake up the next day and don't remember what page my conscious mind drifted away at😭

The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions: 1. Insults about: Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality. Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits. 2. Highlighted section: The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

I wanna get married in the church from that one MCR video. Too bad it's on the other side of the country :/
(P.S. I'm not even religious i just think it's kinda camp)

I’m sorry but the fact that Congress is about to throw immigrants under the bus at the very same time that countless immigrants in California are risking their lives to protect neighborhoods many of them could never aspire live in is breaking my brain in a whole new way.

I'd play it with you

@mcrib.bsky.social being on the trans+queer shitposting feed is so iconic. Proud of them for being themselves.

Harm that can come from pushing yourself too hard, and from pushing away the people you care about in the pursuit of perfection. It simply doesn't exist. Pursuing it to such a degree will only harm you and the people around you. Then again, I guess it's all up for interpretation, right? 39/39

He's won. No one can convince him otherwise. That's where the controversy lies. Is this movie really saying that abuse is okay? That as long as you can push someone to be better, the method doesn't matter? I don't think it is. I think it's a cautionary tale of people like Fletcher, and of the 38/39

Simultaneously, in his own mind, validated all of his tactics. Obviously, we know this isn't the case. He isn't valid for doing the things he's done because the trauma he inflicted on his students is lifelong and can't be forgiven. The thing is, for a person like him, none of that matters. 37/39

Way in which they were implemented is clearly detrimental. He got his wish, but at what cost? Then there's Fletcher. He won, no doubt. Regardless of if Neiman did or not. No matter how you look at it, his goal is complete. Neiman reached the perfection he was trying to push him to, and 36/39

In the process lost all the things that truly matter in life. Love. Family. Health. Safety. Mental wellbeing.enjoyment of one's work. Everything he did was from a place of spite and a selfish need to be great. One or the other can be an awesome motivator, but his implementation of both and the 35/39

The viewer interpretation. Fletcher has a look of what can only be described as triumph as well. Neiman is in his own world. The film ends during this fantastical final display, leaving the viewer wondering, "Who really wins?"
I think the answer is clear. Andrew achieved his dream, but 34/39

best musical performances in cinematic history. Andrew destroys the kit nearly, only being able to play again with help from Fletcher, who holds the thing together for him. During this all we see his dad in the crowd, awestruck with a look of what could be pride, or sadness depending on 33/39

Dad is right there to comfort him and tell him it's okay. It's not a big deal. He was set up. It isn't his fault. He can give up if he wants. Andrew doesn't like that. He goes back on stage and starts soloing. He tells Fletcher to queue in the rest of the band, and what ensues is one of the 32/39

He goes to the concert of Fletchers, gets on stage, and is blindsided when the entire setlist is unfirmiliar to him. He had been told it would be the same setlist he practiced in the ensemble. Fletcher set him up. This was gonna make or break him. He fumbles and is sent offstage. His loving 31/39

don't have the potential to be great because if they did, being pushed so hard wouldn't hinder them. It's a very toxic and dangerous mindset. Anyways, Andrew thinks long and hard about Fletchers offer. He tries to get back with Nicole only to discover she's moved on. He starts playing again. 30/39

Andrew to come play at a show he's putting on. Not before another lengthy discussion about the greats and a moral debate about the ethics of his teaching methods. It's clear that fletcher has no sympathy for any harm he may cause. In his eyes, anyone who folds just isn't good enough. They 29/39

Playing the piano. He stops in for a moment to talk with him, and we get a deep look at Fletcher's personality and motives and philosophies. He's been fired from the conservatory. They talk about all of these things and all of the reasons Fletcher is the way he is and eventually he even asks 28/39

He reluctantly agrees, and also decides to quit drumming altogether. We also get another shining example of his father's love for him, and his mediocrity as a person when detached from his son. One night as Andrew is walking through the street he stumbles upon a jazz bar where he sees Fletcher 27/39

Get into it again, and this all culminates in Andrew tackling Fletcher to the ground and getting kicked from the band entirely. Then we learn that Sean Casey, the student of fletchers that passed away, may have actually killed himself. Andrew is asked to testify against Fletcher. 26/39

On the way back to the concert hall, he gets in a wreck. He's heavily injured, but still sprints there to try and be on time. He is able to make it there, but because of his poor health plays below Fletchers standards during the pre show rehearsal and loses the part anyways. Him and Fletcher 25/39

however, Neiman earns the part. He continues to study and practice, and the day of the concert arrives. On the way, the bus gets a flat tire, and he rents a car to get there on time. He forgets his sticks, and another shouting match ensues before he rushes away to get the sticks 24/39
