As a person studying sociology, the fact that a child as young as the age of 13 looks so flabbergasted at the sight and usage of make-up, it shows you how consumerist ideologies are being shoved down people's throats. I ain't got a problem with gay people like Charles, be gay all you want but the fact that people as young as 13 are being shown this sort of overload of social media and consumerism just sickens me and makes me think what are parents really teaching their children.

Also, Charles is a bit of an over the top consumerist as well, in one video with Emma Chamberlain he tells her the clothes she's about to purchase aren't "rich enough". The lack of role models in today's world is really worrying

They aren't 'falling' like Tony is talking, their stocks got hurt because the stock market is in a weird place right now. Market faith is a fickle thing.

Yes, and economists say that in 2020 there might just be another recession around the corner, some say that 2019 may be a worrying year when it comes to stocks and the overall economy. If a recession does happen and their stocks are in decline then something will eventually happen to the companies. As I have said before, it is all boom and bust and the idea of "too big to fail". These companies will eventually collapse, but it doesn't mean just the video game industry will fall into turmoil, everything else will just like in 2008

I like to nickname it as the 'silent year', a year where I got myself together and worked hard. It was a good year

the unfortunate part is that they'll probably recover and things will resume as normal

Yeah, that's what they thought with the Lehman Brothers and of course everything 'resumed as normal' with them didn't it?

Too big too fail!

I mean, I don't believe i'm depressed. I don't think i've ever wanted to continue watching the slop (opinion) that is 13 reasons why. I do understand the whole "listening to sad music makes you sad" and that's most likely what's been going on.

It's good you didn't continue watching that stuff because I know people that watched it and became extremely sad or 'depressed'. One guy I knew who I lost as a friend (he's still alive, as in me and him stopped being friends) tried to do something after watching Hannah's death but thank the lord he didn't actually carry it out. On top of that, the series has actually been a source for teen Self Deletes as well as another case. Some people may see this as me just being another Jack Thompson but sometimes the media can actually impact a person in a serious way especially when on the topic of controversy. No one should sit through a stuff series like this, ever.


Now on the topic of music, from my perspective, lo fi hip hop does sound very sad at times and it can impact the person depending on the context. As you have said it made you want rant like this so if anything I'd stop listening to it if you can. Try something else like Kendrick Lamar for example. From my stance on music, the people that listen to Lil Peep a lot are constantly posting very depressive content on social media as well as boasting about taking drugs. It's not good at all

low fi hip hop compilations and major depressive disorders go hand in hand. It's hard to tell which is a symptom of the other but they might both be symptoms of some larger, more serious mental disease. my friends at Harvard's psychology wing have been drafting an abstract on the phenomenon

This might be off topic but for the sake of my deepest of interests, can you send me any bit of information on psychology phenomenon related to the types of music that people listen to? I have a great interest in psychology, sociology and media (I take them for A level) and I notice a strange pattern. I notice people watching 13 reasons why and they get extremely depressed (my guess is due to the social learning theory as well as other theories of identification) I also notice people that listen to emo rap and they're just insanely suckered into a never ending amount of "depression". The issue with music is that it is more complex than just lofi hip hop. I might be generalizing but I want to get the point of this, I've even written a rant myself on tumblr's glorification of depression (which isn't as intellectual looking over it today in contrast to what I have learnt)

but yeah, anything they've written please PM it to me if you can. It would be greatly appreciated

I received the Air Jordan XI concord (with the no. 45, 2018 release), the greatest shoe I have ever gotten in my life. It is so beautiful and I just can't believe that I have the concords, these shoes are the most prized sneakers ever. Then I got a surprise gift as a reward for school work, I got the SNES classic mini which was a shocker. I love the games on it and I'm gonna try and beat earthbound, just an overall great Christmas.

I also like the historical context of both gifts, the SNES was released in 1990 while the retro concord 11 OG was first worn by Jordan in the 1995 playoffs against the Orlando Magic. Both gifts are retros of the greatest sneaker in the world while the other is a retro of one of the greatest consoles ever made. A true 90s Christmas

You do realize that the reason these companies are facing such economic problems, isn't because of their insane SJW idiots right? this is simply a time of boom and bust. It's all about economical problems, not about gamergate. It's probably also related to the fact that Dow had it's worst week recently since 2008
