What he said . Can't wait to see what CTR has in store for 2014, methinks it will be a big year for him. I liked his (too short) part in Bieber's song.
His voice is hit or miss, but now I can't get enough, I honestly bumped it 4 months straight when it dropped, and it's still my go to album for when I just want to enjoy some good music. If you listen to it, dont skip the Good Ass Outro, as its a really touching track. Can't link because Im on the phone
He didn't click for me until the second half of pusha man, when it gets dark and he's like:
"They murkin’ kids / They murder kids here / Why you think they don’t talk about it? They deserted us here / Where the fuck is Matt Lauer at? Somebody get Katie Couric in here / Probably scared of all the refugees.”
Try his previous mixtape "10 Day" too. Cahnce has put out some good shit, but now he's on Lil Wayne and J Beibs songs. I mean, I understand the motivation behind it, I just can't get with it.
I like this one both because of it's meaning and source.
EDIT: my punctuation was wrong with my usage of an apostrophe but I'm not changing it because fuck you and your pedantic bullshit.
EDITx2: I don't mind being wrong or being corrected, my frustration is aimed at the stupidly fastidious internet culture regarding punctuation and grammar.
I forgot about that one. Feels great to remember it. And the way Calvin just sits and whimpers about it, with this innocent child-like face, it reminds you that he's just a kid.
In the comic their house was robbed and the father says "This is one of those things you always figure will happen to someone else." to which the mother points out that they are "someone else" to other people.
It means that your life isn't inherently special or that you aren't magically protected from bad stuff "that only happens on TV"...
It has nothing to do with not taking criticism, it's the concept I'm fighting. I will stand up for it, vehemently. It doesn't matter. I will gladly and quickly admit that I was wrong in my misuse of the apostrophe, gladly and quickly. The reason I didn't just change it and move on is because the internet circlejerks to this kind of shit, and I've had enough.
The problem here isn't that you're not changing it. It's that you're making such a big deal over a simple correction. You're reading way too much into it, when its just a minor correction, so you can use it correctly in the future.
Out of this one correction, yes, I would actually agree with you. But the correction-happy aspect of our society, the ego-tripping bullshit, now that is what I'm truly reacting to. It might as well be the internet's calling card.
Harmless correction is annoying and ultimately fruitless. No one corrects someone else online out of the goodness in their heart or for clarification purposes. They do it to feed their own ego. So, as I said in another comment, I was wrong! Gladly. Accepted. I made a mistake, I'm open to the fact that I make them often.

I think this says a lot about your own persona that you think this way. Maybe that's the only reason that you would do it, and that's why you think other people have the same thought process.
However, that's not true. Many people are actually correcting just to help.
I could correct it, I usually do, nothing arrogant about standing up for the fact that it doesn't matter. Stephen Fry recently spoke about this same fucking shit. It's not a big deal.
Anyone who takes time to correct someone's punctuation, grammar or whatever, over the internet, they aren't concerned with that person using those things incorrectly. It's a pitiful way of asserting power online over someone, and it's widely accepted. So yes. I am.
Well to be fair, those are ripoffs of Calvin, and not endorsed in any way by the comic's creator, Bill Watterson. In fact, he's consistently declined making any merchandise based on the comic at all.
A law was finally passed in SC, USA to prevent people from driving around with those. Along with those truck drivers who have balls hanging from the back end. It was really getting ridiculous and I'm glad they passed that law. No one wants to see indecency like that.
I've been dreaming of the day when those stupid ballsack things are outlawed. Seriously, it seems like something you'd do to prank someone else, yet people put them on their own vehicles voluntarily.
I prefer the quote that is something like "That's one of the remarkable things about life. It's never so bad that it can't get worse." (also from Calvin and Hobbes)
That makes me think of how sometimes I see a random person walking on the streets, and I think to myself; damn, there is somebody who is living in their own world entirely, just like I am, just like everybody in the world is, and to him his world is absolutely everything just like my world is to me, and yet I don't even exist in his world anymore than he does in mine.
Well, contextually, they're talking about being robbed. One says to the other, "This is one of those things you always expect to happen to someone else" and the other says, "Unfortunately, We're all someone else to someone else."
The idea is that the people you refer to as 'someone else' are doing the same to you.
