I’ve always held the belief that music wasn’t better in the past, people just have survivorship bias. What are your genuine favorite albums of the last few years?...

Hi everyone, i would like to know what makes you stand out from your immediate environment. It could be something physical or a feature that qualifies you....

My 27 yr old sibling is a hard core follower of Joe Rogan 💩...

I’m guessing it’s from dry air god me but even with humidifier I always have to blow my nose a bunch of times in the morning. Sometimes my lungs feel tight for a while after waking up. This happen to anybody else? Why does it happen for you?

Ones that come to mind for me are Telephone by Lady Gaga and Money by Cardi B
