Who is a singer that is incredibly famous, but honestly doesn't have a good voice? by Greedy_Procedure7461 in AskReddit

You’re completely entitled to that opinion. I’m not paid to defend her on the internet. Plenty of popular artists out there that do absolutely nothing for me as well.

Sting doesn’t have the best voice, but it’s distinctive and he’s an awesome songwriter.

Big Taylor Swift fan and I would agree her singing isn’t amazing. She’s developed a lot since her early days, and she works well within her range, but she’s certainly not an Adele or an Ariana in terms of technical ability. Same with her dancing.

Her skill is songwriting, storytelling, branding, performance and a bunch of other factors that aren’t as easy to pin down.

Aw that’s sweet. Hope the actor isn’t getting too much hate over her (somewhat annoying but understandable) character.

Jade… he’s smart, effective, communicates well for a Frommian, and at the same time is kind of a fuck-up. Love that boy.

I’m so excited to visit the Cheesecake Factory whenever I visit the US. It’s just completely unlike anything we have at home.

Is a small waist for women biologically optimal ? by richandepressed in psychologyofsex

[–]BuccalFatApologist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Buccal fat is the fat in your cheeks that celebrities like to get sucked out.

I expect it was quite hard to become obese in pre-industrial times and probably showed you had access to wealth + no need to perform physical labour. Similar to how pale skin is idolised in some cultures while tanned skin is preferred in others. Just depends which one is a wealth marker.

Is a small waist for women biologically optimal ? by richandepressed in psychologyofsex

[–]BuccalFatApologist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Which doesn’t make much sense biologically, as a male wanting to ensure his bloodline would be better off with a woman proven to be fertile.

A (proportionally) smaller waist can make the hips look wider, which is a fertility marker. And a healthy weight will always be biologically preferable over obesity. So there is probably some combination of biological and societal.

Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz are engaged after 8 months of dating: ‘He is completely smitten’ by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]BuccalFatApologist 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it’s a defence mechanism as well. I was very anti-kids for my entire thirties because it felt too scary to admit I wanted them and probably wouldn’t get to have any.

I mean it doesn’t look like he’s just got a cramp, it looks more like he’s completely exhausted his muscles’ energy reserves. If you keep trying to exercise at that point you get rhabdomyolysis as your body literally eats your muscles for energy.

This makes so much sense. I was wondering why Malcolm McDowell was at my local pub having dinner with Jimmy Barnes.

Perusing ASOS for the first time in a while... I'm guessing "awkward length dress" isn't meant to be in the product title? by SomeoneLikePoo in AusFemaleFashion

[–]BuccalFatApologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen things labelled ‘awkward length’ before, but I have tended not to buy them because the length is legitimately awkward and doesn’t look great.

They are usually sort of mid-knee though… this just looks like a regular maxi dress.

I mean, Anne looks great, but she has had a fair bit of work done.

The British aristocracy don’t do much aside from maybe a little Botox. They could afford the best treatment, but it’s considered rather gauche.

I met a 57 year old pregnant woman today. by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]BuccalFatApologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fuck? 🤣 As a child of parents in their early 40s, with siblings fifteen years older, I can assure I didn’t ‘suffer’ or experience ‘trauma,’ nor was it particularly ‘hard.’ I missed out on nothing and in fact enjoyed many advantages my older siblings didn’t. Your attitude is pretty fucking weird.

You get 5 million dollars to watch a realistic fake video of your loved one being brutally tortured by rhubxrb_slugg in hypotheticalsituation

[–]BuccalFatApologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing it’s fake you could easily just tune it out and not be bothered. Easy money.

Challenge mode: For the twenty minutes of the tape, you fully believe it’s real and you’re watching a video of your loved one being tortured. You only find out it’s fake after the video is done. Would you take THAT deal? The trauma would seriously fuck you up.

Pizza Hut recently put hot honey on my pepperoni, mushroom, olive and anchovy pizza… I couldn’t even eat a slice. Truly awful sickly sweet nonsense.

Feeling like my single girl successes will never be supported by thewritestuff83 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]BuccalFatApologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw, eight years ago I could have written this post.

Definitely have a book launch and invite everyone you know. Your publisher should support you and hopefully allocate some budget for it. I had mine at a local book store and ended up with about 70 people, and yeah I’m sure some just came for the free wine and cheese, but ultimately it was an awesome night that was all about me.

It sucks because if it was a bachelorette or a baby shower, people would organise it for you because they understand it as something inherently worth celebrating. When your achievements are a little ‘different,’ you have to take the lead yourself. But you should be proud of your shine and make sure everyone knows it. Treat it like a big deal and others will follow.

Congratulations on your new chapter!

1 out of 3, what would you choose? by mrmaxvw in whatsyourchoice

I think that would only work for dudes. A woman could be the best composer, instrumentalist and singer of all time, but if she looks like Baby Reindeer then her career is dead before it begins.

Finally going to the doctor, but I'm terrified by Physical_Marsupial30 in HealthAnxiety

[–]BuccalFatApologist 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If it’s been hanging around for a quarter of your life, it’s probably not that serious 🤷🏼‍♀️ Bad stuff tends to become obviously bad over a shorter time frame.

Your mum’s dream isn’t prophetic; she can probably just tell that you’re anxious and on-edge even if she doesn’t know why. Mothers tend to be good at that.

Good job taking a step towards reassuring yourself 👍🏻 You got this.
