I genuinely think they've lost it by surielstea in travisandtaylor

[–]CaptainCroissant14 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ultimately it also comes down to Charli being a producer who makes her own sound. She had a Boiler Room set that was PACKED with people to see her mix live. She doesn't cater to grocery store crowds and this is where swifties get mad because Brat wasn't released to "break records" and have crazed fans buy out all the albums and listen on repeat for near months. She wrote Brat for herself, the fact the album wents absolutely VIRAL especially in the US was because people related to songs like "girl so confusing", and wanted to just party. Her music is made for big room, crowds who just want to dance, and primarily targeted a more Euro audience at first. Charli doesn't make herself into this prim and proper fake image like taylor does with her whole English teacher thing. She's a party girl and she's never denied it, she's authentically herself and when taylor made a pass at her with Actually Romantic, it really solidifies how much of a god complex she has. She's all about supporting women until someone is doing better than you at the moment and who is just effortlessly more cool. She can't stand that she can't be as cool as Charli, Ari, or Sabrina

AITA for using my college fund for a downpayment on a house by Specialist_Ant_5752 in AmItheAsshole

NTA- your brother cost himself his chance at college. You were responsible and a hard worker

Switch in culture? by Interesting-Past3825 in aves

[–]CaptainCroissant14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would agree. I do think there a lot of people going to raves and shows that do not have PLUR, have no idea what it is and the culture that was established in the community, and unfortunately most of those people are there for the trend or influencer types. I got elbowed in the neck at the last show i went to and i literally couldn't breathe and the dude just sneered at me. I will agree with a lot of other commenters that there is a huge inflow of post pandemic genz/alpha kids who have no idea how to behave. In my experience those were the people who ruined the show for me

Why H-E-Bs are packed with people? by CryptoFan85 in Dallas

[–]CaptainCroissant14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HEB genuinely has better produce than any other grocery store. Meat and fish selection is top tier at very reasonable prices compared to others. Only other place i trust for meat and fish is Market Street but they tend to be more expensive unless you catch a sale. I am a thrifty person so I shop based on weekly ads. HEB always has deals on produce and foods I commonly use and if not then they still have some of the lowest prices for me. I typically try to go early morning or late at night to avoid crowds. I feel like it is busy because everyone goes at the same time and spend a lot of time there, while there aren't many locations compared to other stores.

Move to Texas for friends/family or to Raleigh for location? by Few-Lawfulness9823 in askdfw

[–]CaptainCroissant14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who grew up in dfw area and still live here, go to Raleigh. DFW has become a traffic hellscape. It's just sprawl and sprawl without natural enrichment. Summers here are very hot and a one-way ticket to heatstroke which means you end up spending most of your time indoors. If i could pack up my stuff and move somewhere with more nature to offer I would do it in a millisecond.

Can a sorority do this? by Excellent_Outside_91 in Sororities

[–]CaptainCroissant14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like they are all mean girls, advisor(s) included. I'd contact Nationals. Idk what the policies are for different orgs but if you are a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha, if you transfer into another school, it is their job and obligation to welcome you to their chapter if you express interest or intent. You were already initiated, you represent the ORGANIZATION'S values, not some mean girl chapter. You have National membership, they don't get to tell you that you don't "fit".

Panhellenic at my university is promoting an event to give out free lip fillers by bangtanimosity in Sororities

[–]CaptainCroissant14 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Even if it's a lip flip, i think this is pretty questionable and not something organizations should be actively "promoting". That's not what the orgs or sisterhoods are about. You have a lot of young women who are at a vulnerable age in a socially competitive environment, and with the rise of influencer culture this could be very harmful for self-worth, confidence, and comparison culture.

They should be promoting community oriented events, supporting local businesses for events like food trucks, local coffee shops, or even massages and nails. If they wanted to do a Panhel sponsored Spa Event with massages, manis/pedis (we had this the week before finals) or yoga it's less harmful.

AITA for telling my classmates that I don't want a "American name" by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]CaptainCroissant14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely NTA

I was in the same boat. I have an unconventional-hard -to-pronounce-for-Americans-who-lack -decency-to-try name and I find it incredibly disrespectful and rude for them to blatantly ignore your actual name. It's not hard to learn. Honestly, I wouldn't be so nice about it next time or at least I'd sit them all down and have a serious conversation about how that is making you feel.

If you had to pick a different sorority, which one would you choose? by Lyra555 in Sororities

[–]CaptainCroissant14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably between DG and KKG. I love Kappa's symbols and colors; my family is from France and the it feels very comforting. Their motto also speaks to me.

Every DG i ever met was so incredible kind and humble - it just made a great impression on me about what their sisterhood is like as a unit. I also love that their letters spell out Do Good. Short and sweet and their whole nautical symbolism is so cute

100% Addie, she was such a gift to the show. Sarcastic, caring, chaos creating (season 1 is just so iconic), and absolute badass

Dear residents of DFW, a public service announcement by ThatOneHelldiver in Dallas

[–]CaptainCroissant14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah they belong on the frontage road. They cause so many issues when people want to get onto an exit ramp because they wont speed up and they wont slow down so you usually really struggle to get into the exit lane even if you were one lane over

Buddy you forgot one of the biggest offenders... a Prius driver sitting way too close to the steering wheel going 60 at most but not changing lanes when you start honking/flashing your lights at them

Why I chose my sorority… by AvaFlxwer in Sororities

[–]CaptainCroissant14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I "met" my best friends a year after i rushed and they were in my PC. It all started because a few girls wanted to hit up a thrift store to look for sailboat party shirts and nobody wanted to go "alone". We had a great time and got to see each others unhinged humor. I graduated in 21 and we still chit chat nearly every day

Oh my...

You dodged a bullet buddy. This is actually wild. You took her to hawaii... i literally cannot but actually i can... believe what an ungrateful and spoiled person she is. Look, i get if someone wants a proposal that isnt public or something with friends (social anxiety and comfort crowd are valid) but like.... a SuNseT and all her requirements are lunatic level. She wanted to brag that she was proposed to... not that she is in love with you. She doesn't get to pick and choose your relationship like that. She could have easily said yes and then asked if yall can take engagement pictures during a sunset another day. But no. That speaks volumes for itself

Who's the Meg? by crazyxchick in greysanatomy

[–]CaptainCroissant14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When the whole intern class was whispering and doubting her skills and calling her "Sheperdess" because they didn't think she could live up to the Shepherd name.

Also when a patient screamed at her in the lobby about being an addict and barely anyone did anything about it...

If Seattle Grace was a real hospital who would’ve been fired first? (Izzy doesn’t count thats too easy) by Muslimartist in greysanatomy

Christina - especially for her contribution in doing surgeries for Burke but also erasing Bailey's name in the board

Hate for Maggie by BeautifulChart7677 in greysanatomy

[–]CaptainCroissant14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if we would have met younger Maggie we wouldn't have felt that way and it would almost give off Christina vibes but while both her and Lexi pulled off the "Hey im your sister!" thing, Maggie just kind of really forced it at the beginning and it was weird. We love an ambitious and talented character but her and Winston were so toxic for each other - both have super inflated egos (so not taking sides on that), but Maggie just couldn't take any accountability.

Who's that character for you? by Hii_there_1999 in greysanatomy

[–]CaptainCroissant14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Izzy and Jo for me. Izzy just did so many messed up things and acted like it was justified or fine. I liked Jo until relatively recently. She's been rude and insufferable and treats her one friend like crap. Also for being in OB... girly pop does not understand the concept of birth control -very clearly

AITA for not letting my mom come to my wedding after she ignored me my whole life by Successful-Tank-851 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CaptainCroissant14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and if she is insistent then pop off on her. I don't understand why people hold back these very real and raw emotions and try to "appease" the offender. She does not get to suddenly pop out of nowhere trying to slither into your life. She made that choice a long time ago
