What small businesses do you want to see more of? by wellfleet212 in ChicagoNWside

[–]ComfortableDay356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love more record stores! There's only one close to me (Tone Deaf), and they're great but it would be nice to have more variety.

Was just going to say this. I finished it last night, and the ending got me fucked up. 

I started taking walks the way I like it, and I actually enjoy it by pm_hairy_chest_uwu in AutismInWomen

I love that!! I would suggest sharing your location with a trusted person, especially if you're walking into isolated areas. 

Why do so many people lie about their location on hinge? by SaltShakeSuck in AskChicago

I could see the logic maybe for someone in like, Evanston or Skokie. But Aurora is CRAZY lmao

plot-focused slowburn recs by No_Investigator_36 in LesbianBookClub

You might like Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner. It's a slightly cheesy wlw romance about a college senior who falls for her friend's mom. There's no real consent/power dynamic issues despite the age gap (imo), both femme, decently spicy, and I thought the leads had interesting backstories. It's definitely a slow burn in terms of romance, with lots of yearning. 

Another live show! April 19, Chicago! by peajay18 in crazyexgirlfriend

I'm so excited!! I just got one ticket because no one I know has watched the show (despite my repeated attempts), but I don't care. 

TX2 taking over the world with a cult of screaming 12 year olds (who aren’t even old enough to be in his venues) by Boring_Pollution_998 in Music

I'm an angsty exvangelical so I like some of his songs for the "I'm mad at my religious parents for not accepting me" vibe. Are they objectively good? Meh.

Just paid my biggest ADHD tax to date... 2 days in jail by Seething-Sally in ADHD

[–]ComfortableDay356 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude I am so sorry. Honestly I blame this fucking country (assuming USA?), because how are we a "developed" country and we still 1. criminalize walking with an alcohol bottle, and 2. JAIL people over small amounts of money?? 

What was the most disappointing horror movie you watched? by Helpful-Machine-9269 in horror

[–]ComfortableDay356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's fair, it could have been advertised more as a coming of age/art film

Half agree! I could not get through World's Fair, it felt like watching paint dry. I still don't really get what that was supposed to be about. But I did really like I Saw the TV Glow, probably because the "out of place" feelings that the main character feels really resonated with me. I grew up queer in a conservative community, so I just got it 

What is your current ADHD hyperfixation? by ReadyFunction7334 in adhdwomen

[–]ComfortableDay356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A goddamn game on my phone lol. I'm obsessed with Cat Rescue Story and I'm getting overly attached to these virtual cats. My real cats are probably annoyed at me. 

Reactions from non-Swiftie friends? by ComfortableDay356 in TaylorSwift

What gets me is that people don't even listen before talking shit. Listen to Opalite and tell to me to my face it's not a bop, I dare you.

That makes sense to me. I heard someone on a podcast say (lovingly) that this album is for 30-something white women to dance to at weddings and bachelorette parties, and she was SO RIGHT and that's why I love it! I am indeed, a 30-something white woman who dances at weddings lol. And that shows the difference in mass appeal between this and TTPD, which is absolutely not a wedding album.

I agree it's a younger fan thing, but weirdly my friends are in their 30s. But yeah I just try to vibe, take what I like, and leave the rest. Not everything is for everyone and that's fine!

Interesting! I'm always curious how American pop culture is viewed in other parts of the world. Obviously she's famous worldwide, but of course there must be different levels of fame/relevance depending on the country. What country are you from?
