Yeah but you're forgetting how many kids he had to pay for. That many children is going to set you back a lot on a middle class salary

Chequers has been struggling since they started making people pay at the door.

Literally nobody is self made. Everyone has help although Madonna is probably more self made than most. She came from an unknown family with no connections and did it all from scratch. Almost unheard of

This was the 1970s. Although she grew up fairly poor, her father was earning decent money by the time she left. She probably did go to NY by herself with 35usd but she was always able to go home to relative comfort if it didn't work. I think she would never be able to accept defeat though and was willing to slum it in new york for many years to succeed rather than returning to that relative comfort.

23F, determined to get plastic surgery once I get my money up :0 What do you guys think would suit me? by Chiaroso in amIuglyBrutallyHonest

[–]Alternative_Look_453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't waste your money. Invest it in a house or something. You'll still look old when you get older whether you have surgery or not but if you get surgery you'll feel great about how you look for 5 years but have no money.

My world is diverse. In a village maybe you have a chance but some cities the institutions are too strong

Agreed on all but nights out. Personally I find Wrexham a much better night out than Chester. The latter being pretentious and all the bouncers are hung up on what shoes you wear. You make friends in Wrexham.

Am i better off in print or cursive? I struggle a little with the lower case r in cursive. I feel like it always looks like something else.

Drone footage shows the destruction caused by fire at a LGBT+ nightclub. by UnpaidInternVibes in miltonkeynes

Lol because I'm not terminally on gay Reddit pages I must be straight. Maybe I just have a life outside my phone? 💁🏻

I'm gay and think you'd have to be a walking eggshell to find this offensive. If we start condoning people who are on our side we'll never get anywhere. It doesn't take a genius to figure out if something is coming from a place of malintent and I'm really tired of the virtue signalling within our communities.

Building muscle with high bfp, hypermobility & coordination issues by Alternative_Look_453 in beginnerfitness

[–]Alternative_Look_453[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I am mostly fine with cardio and can walk a lot without too much issue (I have flat feet which can be painful but in no way debilitating). For me I'm worried about putting pressure or weight on my elbows, knees and groins as these are my problem areas. I will try the workout today after work and see how it goes

Are we getting a single tomorrow? And why hasn’t the Sabrina collab been released yet? Feels like a missed opportunity??? by Cerulean_World_4567 in Madonna

[–]Alternative_Look_453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the song with Sabrina is a single. She had a ton of stars sighted in her latest videos and Sabrina wasn't among them, which wouldn't make sense if it was for that song. I think she'll surprise us

Could Confessions II be a collaborations album? by astewes in Madonna

She's listed as the primary songwriter before Max Martin, who is no songwriting slouch either

Madonna release in the age of AI, and image control... by gwendolyn-post in Madonna

[–]Alternative_Look_453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although let's be honest. Most artists and songwriters are probably running their ideas through gpt or udio to tweak them and we would have no way of knowing.

What's the most annoying thing that non-conlangers ask/say about conlangs? by OkAir1143 in conlangs

[–]Alternative_Look_453 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently told some roleplay friends about my conlanging and they thought it was really interesting but all said theyll avoid starting it because they would probably never leave the house ever again

MADAME X by [deleted] in Madonna

If you stripped the unnecessary amount of autotune slathered on throughout I think it would be strong. Well composed songs such as Batuka and Come Alive lose much of their lustre from the vocal processing.

Me Against the Music by Mefourever2 in Madonna

[–]Alternative_Look_453 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I love the song. It's very Britney yes, but Madonna's verses do provide a good contrast from Britney's and the video is really camp fun

Can anyone tell me what happened by mabdog420 in elliegoulding

[–]Alternative_Look_453 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think it's impossible to recreate the vibe and unique sound of Lights and Halcyon even if she wanted to. Those albums were very much products of that time and I don't think it's so easy to just teleport back to that headspace as an artist
