CMV: Drake is overhyped

Hi, I’m guessing this could be a hot take based on his popularity, but I’ve recently started trying to get into rap, looking at a variety of artists and styles, however everytime I’ve listened to drakes stuff he is coming across as a generic artists with samey beats and way too much autotune.

Again I am just starting my rap journey so perhaps I’m not aware of his style, impact etc, however to me he seems bland with the same beats I’ve heard many a time.

Bare in my mind I do think he’s a good rapper who can flow well but apart form that the other aspects of his music have failed to impress so far.

Was Tony Blair’s decision to invade Iraq actually unjustified based on what was known at the time?

I’m doing some research into Tony Blair and the Iraq War

One thing I’m struggling to understand js we now know that Iraq didn’t have the WMD stockpiles that were claimed at the time. But Saddam had previously pursued nuclear weapons and had used chemical weapons before, so was there not a reasonable concern at the time that he could be developing WMDs again?

Was there actually any credible evidence suggesting Iraq might have restarted a nuclear weapons programme, or was the intelligence much weaker than Blair/the government made it sound?

I’m also curious about the “better safe than sorry” argument. If there was genuine uncertainty about what Saddam was doing, would it have been reasonable to intervene rather than risk finding out years later that he actually had developed nuclear weapons? Or is that a dangerous standard because it could potentially justify invading almost any country suspected of developing weapons?

And legally, what specifically is the argument that made the Iraq War illegal? I’ve seen people mention the UN and the lack of another Security Council resolution, but I’d like to understand the actual reasoning behind it.

Again, I’m not trying to defend Blair or say the war was right I fully believe it wasn’t and resulted in thousands of unnecessary deaths.

How do discount codes work?

Hi, looking at going to AEW All In at Wembley potentially, I found a code which I then applied and it worked, but I don’t know what changed.

How do I see which seats have been discounted, if it works etc- ones that I saw were £126 before are still £126 even with discount applied, so anything would help!

Thanks in advance

Switching perspectives

Hi, I’m thinking of writing a sci fi story just for me, the only issue I have is it’s a last of us style of story with a teen and a guy, but the way it goes it’s told from the guys perspective. However the child is the main hero, a “chosen one” like character but I feel that when the guy eventually dies and I suddenly switch to the kids perspective this wouldn’t really work. It would be random suddenly changing to the child, so is there a way to make it actually work when the story is eventually told from his perspective?

Hopefully this makes sense, just having an issue- if anyone has played Red Dead 2 the vibe I get right now is switching from Arthur to John but in a book way, hopefully that helps.

Thanks!

Is there anyway to predict the set list for tomorrow in London?

Hi, going to the concert tomorrow with my dad and saw the setlist that they played last night, so is it likely that they’ll play any of those again or will it be completely different like I heard it would be?

If this is the case are there any predictions other than Enter Sandman which must be played!

Thanks

How to talk to girls from my old school?

Hi, so there’s a few girls from my old school I always thought were very good looking, however we never interacted, one of them I don’t think even knows I exist.

How would I go about even starting to talking to any of them, it would be so random and out of the blue but I would like to get to know them more, even if it was just as friends or anything. What exactly do I even say, not only to start the conversation but to continue it?

What to research and look at first?

So I’m wanting to try getting into NFL, putting everything I learn into a document for reference!

I’ve got as far as looking at the rules, the basic ones at least, and have been researching teams to eventually pick which (leaning towards the eagles right now!)

But where the hell do I start for everything else, like the best players, why they’re seen as the best, history, important moments, greatest of all time etc.

In addition, how can I start determining for myself who I think is best, what are players’ strengths/weaknesses etc.

Any help or advice would be very helpful!

How to meet new people?

So I am 19, and am back from uni for the summer. However I don’t really have too many friends here anymore as many have gone on to other things, so I feel I am going to be very bored.

Preferably, I’d like to find friends who enjoy sports, but ofc people that enjoy my other hobbies would be appreciated as well, but specifically I’d like more people I can just talk football with, go to watch games etc.

How would you recommend I find these friends? Are any apps like Wizz any good for this, if not what are ways I can meet friends like this?
