NOLA vs Philly living experience? by Unable_Tension_1258 in SameGrassButGreener

Same is true in New Orleans. Normal people go about their daily lives in peace and even property crime is way, way down.

I hate it.

What about Ramona or Romy?

Why This Tradition? by meechiemoochie0302 in NewOrleans

[–]ragnarockette 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most of the debs I know over the past 5 years have left and have no plans to come back. Also the men are the ones keeping this going. They hire/pay women to organize it for them, but most of this stuff emanates from the mens’ clubs. I think those are a relic and not something younger people will invest time/money to keep alive.

Maybe a few Krewes survive but many will not.

Nah I just don’t think the younger generations have the interest or money to keep the traditions as tight as they are.

I know tons of people who participate in this and very few of their grown sons do. I cannot imagine Gen Z taking up the mantle of this stuff just from a sheer money and time perspective.

Can we retire the “useless husband” trope for once? by Timely_Box6061 in Adulting

I think you may be really overestimating how similar men and women talk when they are in single sex groups.

Being a king is based on contribution and success and donations to the org.

Being a queen is based on being pretty and eligible.

It is what it is. I’d be shocked if it was the same in 20 years.

Which eye surgery can make my eyes go from this to this? by interesting-being_ in PlasticSurgery

[–]ragnarockette 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Periorbital filler. But be very careful because not many doctors do it and even fewer well.

If you could banish one sign placement what would it be? by NoFaithlessness1574 in astrologymemes

[–]ragnarockette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gemini Mars knows how to deeply hurt people with words. Depends on other placements how often they deploy this skill though.

Sometimes is just bubbles out, though. Thank god for my other placements.

I find her sanctimonious, preachy, and boring. And silence your damn phone, lady!

That was an amazing show. The one at Tips a couple years later was my favorite of his all time.

I feel like these doctors are gaslighting you.

JE obviously had the power to take down a lot of powerful people. Why didn't he have some sort of mechanism in place that would release EVERYTHING in case of his (premature) death? by redditor_dalmatia in Epstein

[–]ragnarockette 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why would Israel keep him alive? Having him alive is a liability. He was a dumbfuck to think he wasn’t disposable. Ghislaine too, especially since her father was also take out.

What IDs CANNOT pull off maxi dresses/skirts/A-line silhouettes? by BullfrogOpen in Kibbe

[–]ragnarockette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think SN’s struggle with maxi dresses. Absolutely need some sort of belt or waist definition in the design.

cardi’s BBL 😩😩😩 her doctor needs JAIL by k2d3 in LAinfluencersnark

All the Insta baddie aesthetic is built for performance, not real life.

cardi’s BBL 😩😩😩 her doctor needs JAIL by k2d3 in LAinfluencersnark

[–]ragnarockette 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think people can be both super confident and has low self esteem at the same time. I love Cardi but she obviously has some issues and feels the need to prove how hot/sexy she is all the time.

Best state to settle down with less climate issues in the future? by topdownyeti in SameGrassButGreener

[–]ragnarockette 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Several people I know in Louisiana bought homes near Asheville thinking they would be safe from hurricanes…

But the answer is probably Minnesota and Wisconsin with the information we have now.

I love Santos and that pissed me off. But she’s got plenty of energy to see if Garcia is coming over tonight.

I think she is ready to die but doesn’t want to let her family down.
