save the frogs

most people don't pay attention to song lyrics. half of Zeppelin songs mention something about "leaving their woman". it's better than beating your woman, I guess?

Sorry, I don't know what Onward Christian Soldiers is. should I ask ChatGPT? most love songs are not representative at all about real love and relationships. maybe some are. most are an idealized courtship, which lasts 2 weeks at most. They are causing problems by creating fantasies and false illusions of what a relationship is. I'll tell you a story. My nephew's girlfriend went to see Harry Styles in concert and had to pay 500$ or some exorbitant price to sit in the front row. But this seems like it's going beyond just appreciating the artist ... looks to me like she is fantasizing about a romantic relationship with Harry Styles. And of course the more "romantic" a guy is, the more women he has. Harry Styles probably had a million girls. That's what "The Romantics" in Medieval Europe originally were .... a bunch of guys who came up with clever ways to woo other people's wives. Is it a coincidence that there is a divorce thread on here at the same time as a love song thread? What we have is excessive fantasyland romance in songs and movies AND excessive divorce rates. If you really want to get laid with loads and loads of women, write love songs. And if you're not good at writing love songs, become a divorce lawyer.

He promised he would quit the forum. But unfortunately he is not a man of his word.

at one point in the video I linked, he is singing "dream until your balls turn blue". I don't need crazy lyrics and I don't need music that is trying to jolt me into debauchery. If that's what you need, go for it.

oh, you just reminded me of this one. I just realized ... it depends who is singing a love song. most are cheesy, but this one is COOL.

I don't know. I give up. Linda McCartney? My main point is being lost here. And that is that most of these love songs are "fantasy land", much like science-fiction, Star Trek, Star Wars. It's not grounded in reality. Beware of cognitive dissonance. Pretty soon you will end up like Gamma believing olive oil contains amino acids.

they should have a "most useless and pointless thread of the year" award.

I love how people who frequent these places need to emphasize that they are "gents". Not judging people for going to these places. Been there myself. But seriously though, the word "gents" is comical.

I believe McCartney wrote "silly love songs" because Lennon made fun of him for writing too many love songs and claiming it was silly. Even though Lennon seemed to write quite a few love songs himself.

why do you even need "to rock"? and why is steven tyler screeching like a bat out of hell in this song at 4:14? someone please get me an acoustic guitar or a harp to sooth my jangled nerves from this noise.

Love song about reflecting back on the special moments in your own life

spanish train. love song for all lost souls.

Divorce love song. Yeah, that's a suitcase. It's a ticket for a plane.

Two princes courting the same girl. One is rich. The other, the father will disown her if she marries him. which one should she choose?

Aerosmith sucks. That song was written for them. It's not even their song. But they mostly suck. Steven Tyler is annoying.

daycare / babysitters I think research shows that kids tend to do better with 2 parents, but maybe those stats are only relevent if both parents are pulling their weight. if either parent sucks, then maybe a one child home is not an issue.

must be nice to be a grown man and have the luxury of acting like an adolescent on an internet forum 24/7. so that means you don't have any real problems in life to deal with. good for you.

a bunch of middle-aged men with a string of failed marriages on a forum discussing romantic love is sad.

sorry to derail the thread, but can I get a philosophical point in? there's way too much emphasis on "romantic love" in western culture, both through incessant love songs and hollywood love stories. this is probably causing more harm than good as the real world doesn't operate on romantic love. these romantic love illusions are creating a lot of problems in relationships. people expect "to be loved for who they are" based on romantic notions and complain that women are only after money, but that's closer to reality than anything in these love songs. just watched this video by a psychologist. highly recommend it.

I havent used Windows 11, but there might be a way to disable default apps. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-11/how-to-disable-startup-programs-in-windows-11-3-ways/m-p/3249863

sorry, haven't used Linux. but still using Windows 10 and do not have the issues you are having. support for Windows 10 goes until 2025 I think. maybe revert back to Windows 10 and install Linux to familiarlize yourself with Linux and then switch entirely to Linux in 2025 or sth.
