I’ve always liked this song, but I never listened closely to the lyrics. I think it’s about falling in love with “the one.”

This video is very entertaining and interesting. Just check 0:57-1:40. The kid walks right into the trap that that Chinese girl lays out to him.
1) Have you had a girlfriend?
No
2) Have you dated Chinese girlfriend?
No
3) Your previous girlfriends are foreigners?
Yes
4) When was your last relationship?
1 year ago.
If you talk to enough people, you will realise that they don’t even know what they are talking about. It is not factual errors, it is this type of error.
And another type from men is this:
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
“No, I don’t.”
“So when you get back home, you will have a boyfriend waiting?”
And I know for sure what he means?
On a second watch, that Middle East guy with an attractive girlfriend will most likely lose her to someone else.
He should be a bit more edgy and stop trying to please her, from sentence to sentence.
I brought up over abundance of freedom in certain Nintendo games and I think Mark_MSX really nails it around the 12 minute mark of his new video, where he is discussing how DMC3 having been patched to unlock all of the different styles breaks the game’s balance. In TotK, for example, the final fight with Ganon before the gimmick phase was so trivial since there are several dozen different potential ways to cheese him to death: https://youtu.be/gkhSGkLkdIg
Have y’all heard about the super hot actress Sydney Sweeney appearing in an American Eagle ad a little while ago, and how it’s driving non-whites and white liberal shitheads insane? They’re calling it a cultural shift towards whiteness, accusing AE of promoting white supremacy, claiming the fact that the advert points out the actress’ “good jeans” (they’re drawing attention to her ass) as proof that AE thinks blonde/blue eyed women have superior genes. As if any modern, more than likely woke, clothing company would dare actually allude to the latter accusation.
Funnily enough, AE’s stock spiked up quite a bit after the ad, like 12%. I find it amusing that we’ve had to endure years of ugly fat ass women (and sometimes men pretending to be women) of all shapes, sizes and colors, yet the whole world flips out after one ad featuring a hot white chick.
