ARMY with that organizing.

I think they got a lot more visibility with the Academy after their performance.
The Academy got ROASTED after the public saw their performance, including by well-known musicians. I'm curious how the Brits will handle it.

Time to add it to the list of post pandemic plans then
I'm about to go all fangirl here.
Dude, GO TO LAOS. Once you get past the expense of the plane ticket (and the probably interminable plane ride), it's an amazing country, and very inexpensive to internationals. The culture is rich, the scenery is amazing, there's so much to do, the people are very kind, and understanding about your efforts to communicate from another language. The food ROCKS, if you like Thai food, Laos is like Thai on steroids.
I'll give you an example from my trip: I actually broke my collarbone while I was there and got 6 stitches in my knee because I was a dumbass. Nonetheless, I decided to carry on with my trip, wearing a sling. My next scheduled activity was a hike with a guide, and we visited a coffee-producing village (did you know raw coffee beans right off the tree actually taste like grass? They don't taste like coffee until they've been dried), then hiked five miles into the highlands to a buddhist temple in the middle of NOWHERE (seriously, those monks had to hike five miles every day just to get milk. wtf. That is some dedication.) It was maybe the most peaceful place I've ever been though, and I hike a LOT so that is saying something. Then we went to three waterfalls that were in the area, because Laotian geography is amazing and why not. And I actually forgot that I was hiking on a knee with stitches in it. That was how stunning this place was. I stan Luang Prabang for the food and culture, and the Bolaven Plateau for the amazing sights.

Just to clarify, the River isn't actually on the same level as the cliffs right?
I'm terrified of heights
River is at the base of the cliffs, haha. The karsts are actually made of limestone, and fairly porous to water, so the tops of them are literally dangerous to climbers because they're so sharp in places.

Laos. I've been to Yellowstone, it's one of my favorite places in the US. I've been to Crystal Lake, it's gorgeous. But driving by the karsts of Laos is ANOTHER LEVEL of amazement. And when you go kayaking on a river right beside these 2000 ft cliffs and on the other side of your boat is the wild jungle? GUH you die. Not from like, rocks falling, just from sheer beauty of the landscape.

Gee, it's ALMOST like moderators were meant to moderate! Wonderous.
Counterargument to your thread title: this BS thread is still open. So....

Yessssssss!
And they were so good! My mother made them for my birthday one year instead of a cake, and I was delighted. She has a pic of me at like 4 with chocolate all over my face smiling like a fool. She now uses it to embarrass me when I bring significant others to visit.

Congrats to the boys!
Nonetheless, this does have a Grammys feel to it. Bring back the "international" category, use BTS for views, then award some whitebread group that did 1/3 their sales. I hope BTS gets what they deserve.

Kim Taehyung, visual king. Because why pay to be assaulted when you can do so for free?

Anything by Ursula K. Leguin (Left Hand of Darkness is a CLASSIC), Clive Barker's Abarat trilogy is really great if you like YA (or fiction at all, really, it's super-creative and fun), The whole Queen's Thief series is great.
For slightly more adult, Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash is a head trip in a good way if you're never read that one.
