Dash, if you were with her until she mentioned 50 Cent, you weren’t with her at all.

Takahmamash, legit LOL.

Vogue, most pop hashkafah is just blather concocted by people who wish to avoid the responsibility of thinking. I don’t know if you are smarter than that but at least you’re more likely to be than the people who create a hashkafah out of thin air and then assume that Hashem conforms to it.

It’s a constant problem in the yeshivish world that everyone has to pretend to be something they’re not. It guarantees that while people can be many things, one thing they cannot be is honest. For example, when I was in shidduchim, everyone knew that if you wanted to learn for a couple years, you would say, five years. If you wanted to learn for five years, you would say ten. If you wanted to learn for ten years, you’d say forever, etc. If you watched movies, you’d say you like to play ball, and if you liked to play ball but didn’t watch movies, you’d say you wanted to learn for ten years. That would be fine except that there are other interests that people have and the rules are not as neat for those things. If you wanted to portray yourself as being no-nonsense and straightforward, you were out of luck.
