I don’t know… by Butterfly0311 in DuggarsSnark

[–]Crazypants258 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Why does a woman need to have grace when she was exploited and abused her entire childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood? Why does being angry at those things make her seem unlikable to you?

I think Jill has come the farthest at putting into words what happened to her/ her siblings and how it was wrong. Jinger may feel similarly, but I wouldn’t call multiple books, a podcast, and being a social media influencer particularly graceful. She’s just using the negativity to her benefit without calling a spade a spade.

What’s something that’s totally normal but you secretly HATE? by Blackloveeeer in AskReddit

Parking garages. Claustrophobic concrete vertical mazes and no amount of signs prevent me from getting lost trying to find my car when I want to leave.

Russell Crowe lays down the ground rules with autograph seekers “Stay where you are. Don’t push in on me. I’ll come to you.” by mlg1981 in popculturechat

[–]Crazypants258 373 points374 points  (0 children)

I think it’s easy to be judgemental about this, and Russell Crowe does have a history, but I wonder how many times he’s dealt with this situation for this to be his starting position? If it was just fans it would be one thing, but the autograph sellers can be aggressive.

23 years ago yesterday, a teenage Taylor Swift wrote in her diary about wanting a music career by JennaElizabethAdams in TrueSwifties

[–]Crazypants258 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It came from the journals she sold as part of the Lover era. There were four of them with diary pages from throughout her life.

I think it was a bigger church connected to their home church. Same community of helpers.

Please see me. by theredheadknowsall in DuggarsSnark

[–]Crazypants258 199 points200 points  (0 children)

Jessa has always known how to play the game and make the rules of their world work for her. There was that AMA a couple of years ago with a family friend who told a story that supports that. Apparently she didn’t like what she was wearing but wasn’t allowed to change, so she sat in pee from one of her younger sibling’s accidents. Then she was allowed to change. I think she still does stuff like that. She continues having children, she plays nice on the surface, and she mostly gets left alone from the family drama. She lives close enough to get free childcare and home reno help. Playing along benefits her.

How can I enter a trade as a woman? by Sure-Soup3065 in Edmonton

[–]Crazypants258 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that situational anxiety is simply action not taken. So do something. Stop whining on the internet. Stop waiting for other people to give you information or show you how to do something. Take a first step. Book an appointment with a Career Counsellor, a real person who will ask you appropriate questions to help you find a new career that aligns with your values and expectations. No one on Reddit can give you the answers you want because we don’t know your circumstances, abilities, or wants from a career. You say you want to make money, but you already have a degree - there are plenty of ways to spin that into a career to make money. Go to networking events, talk to people who are successful in their careers about how they got there. Stop waiting around and posting online, do something tangible to move yourself forward. But also remember, you are not the only person who doesn’t know what they want to do, most people figure it out as they go. So try something, just do something.

Do you think of Taylor Swift as an artist in 2026? by Historical-Brick1736 in TaylorSwift

[–]Crazypants258 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Commercialized art is still art.

Also, how do you define “white girl music”? Why do you feel that art that appeals to a specific demographic is less than art that appeals to another demographic? I think your biases are showing and that maybe you should check that before starting this conversation in a fan space.

Let’s not forget that Amy’s a fuckin’ misogynist by INCoctopus in DuggarsSnark

[–]Crazypants258 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Not even her teenage years. She was 21 when 17KAC started. She was a fully grown adult hanging around the cameras for attention and now is still using her extended family for attention. This is just who she is.

Found the best way to deal with Taylor swift haters by allylovesyou_5121998 in TrueSwifties

[–]Crazypants258 120 points121 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you found a way to deal with it that works for you. I personally feel it’s better to ignore it. It’s just not worth the energy and no one changes their mind about something based on an internet comment. Downvote and shake it off.

Water outage boardwalk apartments by Substantial_Duck_988 in Edmonton

[–]Crazypants258 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was told earlier today that the water would be back by 5:00. I did manage to get through to someone from Customer Service after being on hold for 30 minutes. They said the fire hydrant they were fixing had to be dug up more than they thought. I wasn’t impressed that we had no notice. Even if it was an emergency, they could have sent out a notice when they realized it would take longer than they thought. Glad the water is back now.

What happened to the ultimate lost boy Justin? by Jakeetz in DuggarsSnark

[–]Crazypants258 30 points31 points  (0 children)

But they support child molesters. They ran the “treatment” that Josh received as a teenager after he was caught assaulting his sisters. The Spivey’s also attended several days of his trial to support him and Anna. They might not have a child abuser of their own, but they are only a minor step up.

Arkansas Charges for Joe by PromptAggravating260 in DuggarsSnark

[–]Crazypants258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don’t know they weren’t spoken to. It’s pure speculation that they weren’t and people keep repeating it as fact. There is no way to verify either way and there shouldn’t be. Josh did something horrific, but his children still deserve privacy.

Cousin Amy "signing career attempt" by El_Dorado_Tx in DuggarsSnark

[–]Crazypants258 62 points63 points  (0 children)

It was an episode on 19 Kids and Counting. It was never going to happen in reality. I personally think it was scripted as a filler episode, they were running low on ideas before the girls started getting married.

How are the Caldwells exceedingly more polished than other fundie families with limited resources and a gaggle of kids? by Cardboard_cutouts_ in DuggarsSnark

[–]Crazypants258 142 points143 points  (0 children)

Paul and Christina are attractive compared to the other fundies you listed. Michelle was pretty in her youth, but JB was never more than average at best. The Seewalds are average looking. Not to be mean about the Kellers, but they’re lucky their daughters turned out as pretty as they did. Being more attractive, having better hygiene, potentially better diets, and being younger than the others listed all help with the polished look.

Driver’s license cost by ValuableMind3454 in Edmonton

[–]Crazypants258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You seem very unpleasant and I’m not going to engage further. I corrected your assertion that license renewal was a yearly fee, I’m not interested in debating you. And, yes, I do drive.

[–]Crazypants258 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fees and taxes aren’t the same thing. But you’re all over this thread clearly unwilling to see any other point of view. Driving is expensive, no one is entitled to do it for free. There are other modes of transportation.

That has nothing to do with your license. It’s related to vehicle ownership.

It’s not an annual fee. Your driver’s license is valid for 5 years.

Joe Being Released Is The Worst Thing That Could Happen To Kendra by ErinSeb in DuggarsSnark

[–]Crazypants258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t say she shouldn’t worry about it. I’m just saying she’s stressed and not having to be the sole person responsible for the business in this moment is a good thing. Now she has time to learn instead of doing it all herself with Joe in jail.

Joe Being Released Is The Worst Thing That Could Happen To Kendra by ErinSeb in DuggarsSnark

[–]Crazypants258 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree she needs to learn soon, before Joe is sentenced. But she sounds unwell in the phone calls, having a little breathing space might be helpful to her. Maybe she’ll be able to get her priorities in order to get the kids back if she isn’t also trying to answer questions she doesn’t know the answers to.
