I knew this would backfire as soon as I read that "explicit rap music" remark. Like someone else said, big karen energy.

The day this person graced your neighborhood was the most important day in your life. But for me... it was Tuesday on a British council estate.

Actually I checked out his Instagram and it's super right leaning by all appearances but he has a donating link to Black Lives Matter and to not write it off as a fad so, yeah, I guess appearances can be deceiving.
On the other hand, I worked with a white dude who very vocally supported BLM and went to protests while also proudly supporting Trump because Biden was "too much of a corporate puppet" until Jorgenson came along and gave him an excuse to be an even bigger contrarian. Some people are just dumb.

Can't there be a middle ground with the music?

Like I don't have any issue with rap music, I actually listen to it quite a bit at home and such but I think you can still be respectful that not everyone likes to hear explicit music blaring out in a neighborhood with a lot of kids around. 🤷

Like I don't freak out when they played WAP at the bar I was at last night because it's perfectly acceptable context.

What does "explicit" mean here? Honest? Direct?

Kids experience way worse than hearing WAP, and they do it every day.

Man probably but I don't know, maybe I am out of touch...I don't care about cursing myself among adults but I just never have been a fan of cursing around children.

Do you not remember being a kid? My friends at school cursed all the time, ditto older siblings. Even my parents would swear after telling me not to.

Small Halloween party. Everyone got temperature checked at door, only twenty people or so spread about.

A pretty large percentage of people with COVID-19 don't have elevated temperatures. A county EMS reported that 30% of the COVID patients they rushed to the hospital had zero fever.

Please mods close this thread before I ruin my reputation any further. I was judgemental and being petty. 🙏

I entered this thread expecting someone's first-hand account of meeting Mitch McConnell.
Or at least someone Frankie Grande/Vic Mignogna-tier.

Title seems like an exaggeration, and you'll get a lot of mocking responses considering its era, but I can sympathize because scenes like that can sometimes happen to get under my skin.
