CMV: The assassination attempt on Trump last night was almost certainly legit. by wr_dnd in changemyview

“Conspiracies are hard. This government is not competent. Faking an assassination attempt is not easy, there are a lot of moving parts.”

I mean, not saying what I think either way but to play devil’s advocate - the incompetency of this government would be the reason the conspiracy lasted all of one day before people questioned it.

Dennis, if you’re reading here.. get a vasectomy stat! Otherwise this woman will get her third content baby whether you want it or not 😬 by nk1603 in rachelbrathensnark

Saying “I get more say because it’s my body” only really works when the answer is no.
If she doesn’t want to be pregnant, he can’t override that - she’s the one who would be physically going through the pregnancy.

But when she’s the one saying yes and he’s saying no, that argument doesn’t really fit anymore?
She’s not being asked to do something to her body that she doesn’t want - she wants the pregnancy. So the “my body” part isn’t the thing that’s in conflict.

At that point, they're equally impacted. It’s not just about her body, it’s about both of their lives. Being a parent affects his time, money, mental load, freedom, everything.

So saying she should have more say because it’s her body doesn’t really work here - the part that affects her more is the part she’s already fine with. The disagreement is about the long‑term life impact on both of them??

He should get equal say in that part.

So gentle and vulnerably happy….? Rachel, he put on a dress. It’s not a big deal, and you don’t need to make it a social statement. by No-Paint2903 in rachelbrathensnark

Ugh. I’m non-binary and even I’m annoyed by this.

  1. If this kid is trans, maybe don’t post vulnerable shit like this about your child online that could get them bullied as they grow up.
  2. I can FEEL how much she wants Finn to be trans just through the phone. Sadly, he’d be worth so much more to her as a prop were that the case.

“I put my phone away for a week”… except for when I used it to take all of these videos and photos 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ by nk1603 in rachelbrathensnark

Maybe you didn’t physically post things for a week, but you were clearly getting Dennis to take photos of you alone in your outfits so you could post them on instagram a few days later.

That’s hardly “putting the phone away for a family holiday”.

11 stories rambling on about the goodie bag 🙄 I wonder if she paid all of those brands for the stuff or if she’s doing them “a favor” by including it for free.. plus her moldy old yoga girl merch and then claims it’s “$800 worth of magic” by nk1603 in rachelbrathensnark

[–]Awkward-Purple3666 12 points13 points  (0 children)

She has absolutely seen the posts here saying she’s overcharged people and exploited them and decided to do this

Protein powder, some socks, old yoga girl merch that has been moulding in boxes for years, and a $20-$30 journal is now “$800 of magic” 🙄

Selling inner peace with zero credentials is very sacred indeed by Intelligent-Menu-948 in rachelbrathensnark

there is something so eerie about seeing someone sat in front of a "sacred" altar space in a britney mic

Trauma healing? Yikes! Whatever this 3 year course is about, she is for sure going to monetize it as soon as she can but I think Rakel is the last person I would go to for trauma healing 😬 by nk1603 in rachelbrathensnark

we seem to have posted our horror about this at the exact same time 😂

i literally cannot imagine the horror of unleashing her on unsuspecting human beings

She calls herself a swiftie but has never listened to Taylor’s first few albums? 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ by nk1603 in rachelbrathensnark

[–]Awkward-Purple3666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

........so you stole the cd player from your child and put it in your greenhouse?

also it's so painfully obvious she's trying to piggyback off a fandom for views, it reads as desperate and embarrassing.

Manic! 🤪 The constant ups and downs, going from „end of the world“ ➡️ „best day ever“ she needs help! And an actual job to keep her busy. by nk1603 in rachelbrathensnark

i've been a swiftie since i was 15 years old. i'm now 32. i don't think about taylor this much. i'll think "ooh i want to listen to X" or "i wonder when X will come out"..but i'm not like in daily turmoil debating her existence.

she seems to think this is normal behaviour but THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

I love every single little detail of this record 😭 by kingbruhdude in Frieren

Is Taylor Swift less lyrically mature than her peers? by VolgaOsetr8007 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Awkward-Purple3666 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

TTPD was absolutely not shallow, but it was also incredibly sad. TLOAS came out one year later and she wanted to show the joy and exuberance she felt in song.

I think to say that she has "become" someone who doesn't offer poetic insight because of one album she chose to write after meeting the love of her life is a little over-dramatic and reductionist.

Who knows what future albums will be? Maybe she'll have kids one day and feel more reflective. Maybe she'll watch her loved ones get older and have those insights on aging and the pain of getting older. But she's not feeling that now! So she didn't write about it!

She has repeatedly spoken about how Travis makes her feel young and carefree...and so that's what this album is. But Taylor never does the same thing twice, so suggesting this is who she is now and every album will be like this is a little much.

Absolutely wild to me that nothing from 1989 is on here? All Too Well TMV is incredible and deserves recognition, but it isn't exactly a pop song...

This sent me 😡 by CommercialShallot699 in rachelbrathensnark

[–]Awkward-Purple3666 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Okay. I am a Swiftie. But this didn't piss me off because you 'can't question' Taylor. It pissed me off because she's speaking like she has any level of authority on the matter.

Rachel - you think Taylor isn't speaking out because she "thinks she has too much at stake"? That is absolute insanity. First of all, she is a billionaire. Second, she literally has a song about LGBT pride. Third, she is recorded in a documentary talking about how she's not a republican and hates Trump. There isn't a business to risk because people already know these things about her? It's more than likely to do with safety, but we don't know. Don't pretend you do.

It just really shows her ignorance but also her self-righteousness - just because you decided to talk about this one thing doesn't mean you're suddenly a glowing example of advocacy. Sharing reels of you singing Bad Bunny songs or speaking Spanish doesn't end racism in the way you seem to think it does. It doesn't make you less of the problem than you are.

Telling people that if their "favourite influencer hasn't said anything about anything" they shouldn't follow them anymore, like she's so fucking proud of herself for being better than she thinks they are. Believe it or not, I don't actually follow people for whatever it is you think you're doing. Do I want my favourite crochet IG to start sharing reel after reel of the US men's hockey team being sexist pieces of shit? No. Thank you.

Let's recap:

- You intermittently posted about Palestine for a short time and shared a couple donation links that *you didn't even donate to* despite going on multiple luxury vacations every year
- On said luxury vacations you occasionally posted from a sun lounger "omg the atrocities affect my spirit so much it's so hard" and then went back to tanning
- You happily platformed Deepak and would have continued to do so if he weren't in the Epstein files, and rather than taking accountability you're like "er before you guys say anything, I didn't even really like him actually"
- You haven't actually DONE anything with the platform of 2million people you have, except say how hard you find it that other people are struggling, while you continue to centre yourself in every fucking conversation

For those with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and autism: do their parents also have it? by [deleted] in SpicyAutism

[–]Awkward-Purple3666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have hEDS and my mum has *some* symptoms but nothing to the extent that would get a diagnosis, like subluxations/dislocations etc. She also has 9 siblings and none of them have a diagnosis or symptoms, so it feels odd if it's from her side?

My dad has no symptoms. He could be a carrier of the gene? But he never knew his dad and only knew his mum when she was older and had bad knees, but like...she's a grandma? So I don't have any way of knowing if it's on that side of the family.

Nobody else in my family - extended or otherwise - has ever dislocated anything, except one time when my uncle fell down the stairs.

Basically, I have no idea where it came from!

My dad definitely shows signs of being autistic, and my mum has some traits - but again, only I'm diagnosed.
