▲ 20 r/NSYNC

What's your opinions on the recent Nsync vs Backstreet Boys debate that was blowing up on twitter? As a fan of both I think creatively I think NSYNC, Home for Christmas, No Strings, and Celebrity are superior albums to the first 3 or BSB albums and they were better as a harmony group.

I think where I would give it to the Backstreet Boys is that they had a longer career where they expanded into more genres with the release of Never Gone, This is Us, Unbreakable, etc but they were much less popular so those great records don't get the same shine as other records. I do think the debate is fun, but at the same time I think that entire generation of pop music should be treated as a great generation that we all grew up with.

Does anyone know what the real beef with guys like Grillo and John is with the show? Grillo to my knowledge hadn't worked there since the late 90s and John readily left the show 20+ years ago. It seems like they both harbor this weird resentment.

From my knowledge as well Grillo got an electrician apprenticeship from Ronnie's son and still left that and ignored Howard's advice about trying to be an actor. John got stock deals, got his own radio show, tons of money from appearances, etc dealing with the show. I'm not understanding exactly where the bitterness comes into the picture. There's guys like the Howard 100 dudes who I can understand, although they were fired from On Demand.

About close to a decade ago moderates like Newsom ran on single payer aggressively. Most if not all of those moderates have backed off of that platform and ironically almost all of them now take massive checks from insurance companies. My question is why are moderate dems for the current system?

This current system is expensive, causes massive amounts of consumer debt, causes people to not get healthcare treatment whatsoever, and causes a massive amount of people within the country to go uninsured. I say this because I have seen an influx of people on here who are, for some reason, anti single payer. Just for educational purposes I'm interested in why some of you feel this current system of high premiums and high deductibles with worse care would be better than a single payer system that cuts that out.

Day 26 and Danity Kane are the biggest what ifs to me of the 2000s R&B craze. If Puff actually believed in both groups I think they could've been huge.

It's extremely rare here you have groups who can all harmonize while also having every single one in the group be able to do leads at any given point. I think both albums each group made were outstanding but they never got the appropriate push imo. Danity Kane especially was a unicorn in the pop girl group scene cause all of the girls could rotate leads which was nearly unheard of.

Have y'all seen this EDP445 documentary? That shit has to be some of the most disturbing shit I've ever seen. You literally get into the mind of not only a mentally ill man but also an incel and pedophile.

It's a weird documentary but it puts you into the mind of how incels online think and act. Then you get sections where you get into the mind on how these dudes justify being pedos and attracted to young girls. Then you realize the dude is just overall a nut job. Joe should 110 cover this shit.

I checked my local county site and it said service not required so I am assuming the case I was gonna have to report for got settled. Do they normally resend out summons right away or is it the draw of the luck>

Just curious how this works in the future because I'm hoping this puts me on the back of the list now lol.

Going to be taking summer break soon and will just be visiting places I don't normally get to go to due to working remotely. Looking for a nice Jamaican reasturant to go to with some family. Anyone have any recommendations?

I'm full blooded Jamaican so anything really authentic would be perfect. Haven't been able to find a legit place here yet.

Am I the only one that doesn't understand Yayo and Murda dissing niggas and when the niggas clap back they act offended by it? I don't get how they can act offended by Bleek clapping back at them when they started the shit.

Also I don't know why grown men in their 50s like Yayo are bragging about what another man is gifting them. Bleek ironically comes out of this looking good because he said straight up he asked Jay for a job and Jay gave him a commission based job selling Dusse and Bleek rode that to becoming an exec there. You're supposed to teach your homies to fish and not give them the fish.

Netflix can solve their viewership issues by ironically going back to traditional TV set ups. Multiple year green lights and large 20 to 24 episode seasons that leaves shorter time frames between seasons.

I think this is my overall issue with streamers now with TV and it does affect my time on the platforms now. I love the Pitt on HBO Max and I routinely was watching MAX when that wa son and now I barely consume anything on the app cause I wait for House of Dragon to end to binge it. Netflix to me has a quality issue with their shows and I think their retention issue can be solved by the actual good shows they have going to a traditional TV order for episodes and then giving the audiences peace that the shows will actually be seen through and not have to wait years between seasons.

I have to give Apple props their one year manufacture warranty has to be the best in tech or in general. I stupidly did not get AppleCare and during an update my MacBook Air got fried. Apple replace my entire logic board and USB C board for completely free.

I get that this thing frying within a year is unacceptable but not many companies would fix this for free with no extended warranty. This is why I'm extremely loyal to Apple and their products. I already have Apple Care for my iPhone but now everything going forward will have it if I drop or cause damage to my computers, because if they were this fast and gracious with something like the logic board frying then I can imagine how good they are with simple screen repairs, etc.

I was listening to a Planter debate that my co-workers were having and I found something very interesting. Obviously rape and sexual assault allegations are a line too far, but if Planter kept his campaign policy promises and voted in that manner am I bad for not caring about the other crap?

Like I think the tattoos and the reddit posts were cringe as hell, but at the same time it's highly debated that Lyndon B Johnson privately was a very racist guy. Do I care as a black man if he was privately racist if he used his political powers to get the civil rights bill passed? Obviously in this case if he's accused of rape then that's a step too far in endorsing him, but getting people in office that vote under your lines is the entire point of politics.

Something that needs to be talked about in boxing is the corners responsibility with ending fights and throwing in the towel. Zayas was labeled a quitter by a lot of people and I'd rather the fighter quit than get head trauma, but the corner should never put the fighter in that position.

We're seeing people get early onset dementia, die in the ring, get other neurological diseases later in life, etc from constant head trauma. Once the fighter is clearly outclassed it's up to the corner to save that fighter. After the 5th round the corner should've stopped the Boots vs Zayas fight. He was clearly outclassed and clearly was a sitting duck. I've seen this a lot in boxing and MMA and it's something referees and commissions need to beat into corners heads. It's up to you to save your fighter from themselves. Trying to get. hail Mary aint worth the health of your fighter.

The Jay vs Drake argument is interesting to me cause at 33 I saw both artists at their peaks. Drake is obviously a bigger artist imo because he's a pop artist at his core although he makes hip hop music.But in terms of cultural relevancy I don't think anyone outside of Pac or Em is up there with Jay

I remember Jay charting on TRL against boy bands and rock acts when that was unheard of. I remember niggas buying S dot Carters and Rocawear cause Hov wore it. I remember niggas dropping $300 on two way pagers cause how was rapping about them. I remember niggas wearing button downs and then throw backs because Hov was wearing them. I think there's a clear difference between someone being a bigger artist and someone having cultural relevancy and influencing culture.

It's like the Lebron vs Jordan debate. Lebron has all the accolades and records in the world, but niggas remember the game winner in the finals, the flu game, copping their first Jordan 1 and Jordan 4, etc.

Drake to me is no doubt the biggest hip hop artist in terms of numbers but I don't think he's in that Jay, Em, Nas, Pac, Big, LL, etc class when it comes impacting the culture

Obviously this theory has been kind of shut down by hardcore fans, but what do you think about the theory for Blair Witch Project where the entire time the two guy friends set out to murder the female friend? Would that have been a crazier twist the ending we got?

I saw this theory on film theorists on YouTube and some of the evidence he uses is kind of flimsy, but I do think the premise would've made for an interesting last act reveal when she gets to the house. I do however like the fact that the forest is kind of this inevitable being and that their fates were sealed once they got there, though.

My car died on me and I have been without one for about a year which is fine since I work from home and I use my girlfriends car when she comes home from work. Got a jury summons and the court house is 45 miles away. Already got this postponed once. How do I go about this?

I don't want to be in contempt of court and potentially get jailed, but I have legitimately no transportation to get to the court house for that distance. None of the buses go that far and an uber up there and back would be like $100 a day. Not sure what to do.

What's the legitimate solution to the homeless problem in some of our more dense cities like LA? It doesn't seem like current policy or funding is working and it's a huge talking point against us as a party by right wingers.

I genuinely don't know how to fix the issue. It seems like an issue that may need federal guidance on so that we have national solutions on this matter, but I genuinely have no clue how places like LA still have this issue after the mountains of money has been poured into fixing this issue there. It does seem like besides the mishandling of crime legislation that this is one of the spot on criticisms on policy mismanagement and tax mismanagement.

A common thing I see in this sub reddit and in most democrat subs is this war between moderates and democratic socialists/progressives. Here's the thing all of this is just labels. At the end of the day what I think we will see in mid terms is people want someone who addresses their problems.

I don't think whether someone is a moderate who takes corporate money or a far leftist who hates billionaires the people in America struggling at their core want someone to address housing, inflation, groceries, gas, income inequality, etc. That should be the core message regardless of who the politician is running. I think what moderates and progressives have to do is simply cut the labels and let the policy and the actions speak. Because once you start getting into labels like democratic socialist or progressive it gives people ammo on you without even hearing your policy prescriptions.

The thing people keep missing with bringing up Boots got rocked is that in order to rock him you have to eat vicious combinations first and catch him while he's finishing them. Not many guys at 54 are eating the combos or body shots Zayas ate last night.

I keep seeing people talk about Fundora or Ortiz's power, but I don't see either of those guys in the pocket handling that hand speed and power before catching Boots. This reminds me of when Crawford got caught by Gamboa and everyone thought punchers would be able to get him out of there. Boots imo also knows the danger of those exchanges and likely won't switch to southpaw as much where he gets caught a lot.

I saw a post on the Elonmusk subreddit where Elon is now backing up white replacement theory nonsense among other crazy stuff. I'm looking at these influencers like Marques Brownlee among other minority influencers who make Tesla content and shake my head. This is the guy you're doing content for?

Listen I get Tesla reviews and content brings in views, but as a black man I cannot support this dudes businesses anymore. When you start getting into white supremacist rhetoric whether he means to or not or even knows wtf he's insinuating I just can't do it. That's me as a nobody. Multi millionaire content creators can take a bigger stand and just not make Tesla content and buy other EV's.
