I hope that this is the end. r/Drama has a unique way of bringing out the worst in people. It really does, I think. The dynamic here is just so fucking toxic and it turns people into the worst possible people they can be.
Drama is an addiction. It should be classified as something more like heroine or meth than a game.
The legacy of Drama has been written large in blood, quite literally. Several Drama posters have committed mayocide, and this place enabled their downward spirals. u/DarqWolff's insanity was made far worse by this place. I've come to the conclusion that the internet, as a social platform, was a mistake.
It radicalizes people by isolating them with other people just like them and so they spiral into the worst versions of themselves. Drama made me a worse person, and it's made most of you worse people. It's been the breeding ground of pedophile groomers, alt-right killers, and suicidal narcissists. This place is a total fucking shithole and I spent three years of my life that I'll never get back immersed in it. It was a total waste and I'm going to regret this period of my life for the rest of my existence as will most of you.
Even the most moral people have been made worse for being here. I think that the fundamental issue with Drama is that due to the way reputations work, betrayal, secret cabals, two-faced bs, and bad faith negotiation isn't just prioritized, it's the only effective way to operate. Being a huge piece of shit to everybody around you and tearing them down like crabs in a bucket isn't just a viable strategy, it's actually the only viable strategy once Drama reached a certain size. It's all just a bunch of assholes circlejerking over how bad all the other assholes are, because it's impossible to do anything else short of outright genociding anybody who poses any sort of threat to Drama's security and dominance.
Oof. Not a Jewel guy. The 90s produced an embarrassment of riches for woman singer/songwriters that I would rather listen to. Her voice is nice enough when she's not trying to channel Elvis. But the rest is pretty bland, and her lyrics are /r/im14andthisisdeep territory (tbf, most woman songwriters fall into this trap)
You should check out Counting Crows newer album “Somewhere Under Wonderland” it’s not a girl power band that you usually post but I think you’d like it.
I went through Pieces of You before and was a little dissapointed honestly! Little Sister is really, really good, but I felt like the album didn't hold up to some of her hits and sounded a bit like filler. I must have overlooked Painters though, because that one is pretty good
I don't know why it reminds me of Marcy Playground's album and Neil Young's first album. Sort of a sad, introverted feel. But yeah the quality is great

Thanks for the recommendation! I've always been a fan of Counting Crows.

I love 'round here' but it always reminds me of TheTommyknockers.

I love Jewel. You Were Meant For Me is such a beautiful song
1 The_Great_I_Am_Not 2020-02-17
The song certainly is very beautiful, but within her greater body of work, their are a few that are even better.
"Morning Song", "Painters", and "Near You Always" shouldn't even be possible to be that beautiful.

Pieces of You is the foundation. You need to relisten, preferably on very nice quality speakers in a good place for it if you that privilege.
In fact, that album is used by some audiophiles as a way to test and to fine-tune ultra high end theatre systems.
The the sound quality aside, every song is very meaningful and has a heart bigger than this world. She's an angel.

Certainly, a fair amount of her music does this, but an overwhelming majority of her own songwriting is the opposite.

I don't prefer her sexier side, I'm just in it for the music, but this is good:
