So I'm deciding to listen to the song at the beginning of La La Land and thinking much more about the song itself as opposed to the movie itself.

Because the melody itself had been stuck in my head for the past few days send help.
Now mostly a politik discuss account.

It is the first full day of a brand new year. And it's almost 10 hours old here on the US East coast and no one famous has died (there was a Burundi politician that was shot dead, though).

Well, 4Chan is a scurry place and social media isn't the best place to do it. My (former) college campus is also closed at the moment, so... Have any suggestions for good shitposting?

Well, beggars can't be choosers. Are we talking sexually or romantically? Maybe we could throw ethnicity in the mix too?

Romantically (but keep it physical).
Ethnicity-wise, go ahead. Until we have a global super-race of beige, there's always preference. (Don't sue me)

Well, I like anything from a healthy bit of curves to lean and everything in between. Ethnicity/racial, I have no preference, but I think Arab/Persian and Black girls are more my type than anything. I'm fine with anyone really. Male or female, it really just depends on the individual themself.

I'm resolutely shallow. I like tall, well built men who embrace their natural hairiness and women with hourglass figures. Dark hair, blue eye combos are ideal, but I like grey and brown eyes, too. My husband has beautiful steely grey eyes with brown speckles, absolutely beautiful. A cheeky grin and strong jawline are fantastic, too. And while not physical traits, a solid sense of humour and a generally positive outlook on life are crucial. Nobody likes a boring whiner regardless of physical beauty.

True that.
Though we're talking about the physical aspects for the benefit of the doubt.
For me?
Ethnically would prefer mestiza Filipinas (of European blood, preferably)
Fair is ideal, but a bit of tan never hurt anyone.
Ideally a curvaceous one, but I don't mind slender physiques (SLENDER, not THIN)
And if you have dimples, I would immediately give you a 5/10, regardless of whatever ethnicity you are.
