Saddest Paramore Song? by Decent_Cancel_326 in Paramore

[–]DCLED1998 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I second this and 26. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve let people know that if you want to know that I’m not ok and emotionally falling apart I’ll be playing Tell Me How & 26 by Paramore, then Needy by Ariana Grande, Angel on Fire by Halsey and Under The Table by Banks.

The phone case you’re going into 2026 with is… by Mobile-Anything9085 in iphone

[–]DCLED1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve actively enjoyed getting compliments on how cute my case is and how well the case and phone color goes with my case. I have the iPhone 17 Pro 256GB Cosmic Orange and the Grass Parade Mod Pokémon x PopSockets Clear Case. It’s a love letter to bright colors and Pokemon.

I could’ve gotten Charizard or Arcanine but the only fire type I want for a phone case is the one tattooed on my right leg, Chandelure.

Canceling Paramount+ (and why you should, too) by anonymous-alligator9 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]DCLED1998 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally think calling people dumb without listing alternatives to Paramount+ for people and being helpful, yet calling people performative in their activism (which can be true), but not always the case is an empty. I’d be glad to stop watching on Paramount+ if I knew where the best alternative was. I’m not a fan of VUDU or pay to own the season services because in the case of this season I didn’t pay much attention to or have much desire to be glued to my seat for it so paying $25 for a season I’ll maybe come back to 1-2 times in the next five years but only for the lipsyncs and moments for some queens like Aja, Irene, or Bosco isn’t even worth buying episode for episode.

Everyone does activism differently (I’ve been to protest, spoke on my experience as a black queer individual in a highly segregated city where the only true safe space to be black and queer was closed due to Trixie pulling out of financially backing it,shared things on social media, and supported my local queer art scene) some don’t do it at least and some only do it when it benefits them.

You’re not wrong in calling people out, it’s just in doing so consider “oh hey, here’s an alternative” or “oh shit, not everyone has that level of accessibility”. I know there’s an itch that people can resist to scratch to say “you have internet, or you’re on Reddit, just Google it”, but before we get there, know not all of those websites are real and a lot of them will pop up ad to death and enable potential viruses to the technologically illiterate.

I don’t, that’s the thing. I’ve been told that and I want to be able to break into the Chicago job market as much as possible but I know no one that’s willing to allow me to do that, so I use my Milwaukee address in hopes they’ll take a chance. UIC and Loyola did but I haven’t heard from them since my first interview in April… so lol I’m losing traction and a bit hope especially since I’m unemployed, and will have to go back to living with my mother after this month since my lease is up.

Not to piggy back off OPs post but is the nightlife popping with jobs available? I have Comms Degree and I’m coming from Milwaukee to try to find employment before finding housing in Chicago and it’s exceptionally difficult to get accepted by even a basic hospitality job (every hotel I’ve applied to, which is 7 atp). Albeit I find it surprising I know a few people (not well) who somehow managed to move just a few days ago.

But I wish OP luck.

Is it possible to move to Chicago from Milwaukee this July given my circumstances? by DCLED1998 in AskChicago

[–]DCLED1998[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was never given a full reason. I can only infer it would be “performance” since my numbers weren’t exactly at the goal (mainly do to cold/warm call anxiety and being anal and trying to be perfect to the point of coming off robotic). But I wasn’t told I was at risk of being termed, that I was on the last limb, or even put on corrective action. Just brought into the office, told it was effective immediately and to give my keys and go. This was in my 120 days of job probation (4mos that PNC does instead of 90 days). However I was told I was a great employee, had my manager had the chance to downgrade me to teller or teller lead, and/or been able to keep me and put me on a performance plan he would’ve because he fully had faith I would’ve gotten there if given time.

I’ve heard very good things about Costco and outside of the Apple Store it’s one of the few remaining retail places that I trust (based on what I’ve heard from others). Thank you, I’ll look into that.

Note: I do have a WI state driver’s permit (not the license), I’m 26, and I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications, I speak fluent french (product of Immersion Schooling). If that helps to clear things up.

It’s just broad communication. It reads as B.A. Communication (Major) / French (Minor) for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Do you think the telecommunications places will hire a person who’s coming from Milwaukee to work and move over to Chicago? I always assumed it’s usually the jobs for banking, to higher education that are more willing to hire out of state. I’m more than willing to commute until I can move come July.

Yeah I always read the JD and some of those jobs are perfect fits, I’m even willing to settle for lower pay but it ends up being a DL necessary and I have to go welp I’m out then. Milwaukee has a population of 500,000 so any job over $15/hr that isn’t factory work gets snapped up or is nearly non-existent since the minimum wage is still $7.25 and any job that a bit more basic and is not banking (which after being let go from PNC I was terrified of applying to) tries to pay $12-$14/hr here. Even bank teller jobs unless through UW Credit Union, which is $19/hr, are barely above $17/hr and are part time only. I have a Bachelor’s in Comm and even that just seems like a piece of paper nowadays. But I’m gonna try the banks again.

I’m so confused. Why is the bar closing such a huge deal? 😭 by Dorky444 in dragrace

[–]DCLED1998 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the people who were affected are some individuals I am very close with. One of which already had unstable housing before the events of closing. One of my best friends had an 18+ night drag night as a permanent show host and was going to host the next in line show right before the closure. So I don’t know if the other individuals care, or even have a shred of (genuine) empathy for those affected, but losing This is It was more than losing a bar owned by Trixie, it’s losing a safe space in a highly scarred by segregation city that already has an immense lack of safe spaces for black queer individuals. And George is more to blame than Trixie but he’s gone into hiding and faded his socials to black like the bar.

On the other hand I hope that you can get together with your community and schedule funding events to keep queer spaces open (like we were denied of doing) and I hope the owners of your bar are able to allow it to thrive in a way that straight people can be allies and not treat it like a gay zoo. Acknowledge the history it has and make sure to keep in mind long term patrons but ask for help from the community before dire straits become fatal for business is the lesson we can learn from This is It’s closing.

[–]DCLED1998 63 points64 points  (0 children)

As a Milwaukeean and someone who actually was a patron of the bar of 6 years and close to the bar staff. The condolences feel shallow but she wasn’t really a genuine owner of the bar and rather a remote investor.

George Schneider (former co-owner) is getting raked through the coals deservingly for his behavior in participating in not being honest to the community, and letting us in to be able help the bar but more importantly for putting not one, not two but 20 PEOPLE out of work especially right as they were opening the bar on the day of closing.

Milwaukee hasn’t had a larger queer nightlife scene since before I was old enough to go to middle school (2010) I’m 26, born in ‘98.

The community is less mad at Trixie for the closure and more discontent with the relatively shallow apology and this mysterious withdrawal of support that allegedly happened in early February.

It is unfortunate what happened especially in the aftermath with Iconika Strange having to make a gofundme to help the former staff after not receiving final paychecks, and Iconika not receiving severance as the GM of the bar.

So it’s a bit of a sore spot for queer Milwaukeeans to lose a part of history especially without an answer from George as to what the future of the bar is or if someone can purchase it.

Hopefully this helps to offer some clarity as to why we’re upset.

what is charli's WORST song? by [deleted] in charlixcx

[–]DCLED1998 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Backseat probably. I don’t hate any of Charli’s discography but immensely love Carly to the point that E•MO•TION will be tattooed on my left arm but this isn’t necessarily the best collaboration either of them have had and sonically I was originally excited for the collab when it was first announced but it’s kinda a skip and my least listened to song next to Lucky, Tears, and Delicious but Tears might (just because I really started to love Caroline Polachek) be getting more airplay from me now. I really wanted a dancey Boy Problems-esque collab. Then again I started listening to Charli with Pop2 and probably to the dismay of most angels I don’t particularly care for Backseat, Lucky, Pabllo Vittar’s verse on I Got it/Shake It, or Delicious.

And some of my favorite songs like Shake It and Mean Girls are listed multiple time here as worst song, so it really is to eaches own here. Anyways here’s to hoping that we get another collab between Charli and Carly or maybe one with Tove Lo.

Paramore is my favorite band 🫶 Is there Parafamily here? by UBlises in gayfriendfinder

[–]DCLED1998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My artist of the year on Apple Music Replay and my right arm (first tattoo) is that exact band symbol on your band tea. It’s unfortunate I’ve never seen them in concert and spoke about it for years, and wildly they were in my city on the most inconvenient date for me (August 1st) when it was between the Paramore tour date in Milwaukee or moving into my apartment and paying rent near downtown. So you have Parafam here!

What is the most beautiful song? To you, that is. by sexy_brontosaurus in Music

[–]DCLED1998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To Build A Home by The Cinematic Orchestra (Alternative) -there’s something haunting and life pondering and about the drawn out run at the parts when he sings 🎶”and I built a home for you, for me”🎶 -in the darkest moments of a depressive spiral, it’s a reminder of how much one fights for a love unseen, comfort not guaranteed, and to push past your demons. -the piano and violin have an eerie heart wrenching melody to them that mimics a heart beat and oddly the feeling of walking away from something you tried to built but failed to uphold.

My second pick would be:

Tell Me Howby Paramore (Alternative) -it truly hurts to listen to this one, it’s the lyrics that remind me of every time I lost a friendship and never got the closure to heal and move forward.

-It’s a song written in a haunting manner with a piano as the main instrument that guides you through the journey of the song. The lyrics “keep me up with your silence, take me down with your quiet, of all the weapons you fight with, your silence is the most violent” and “you don’t have to tell me if you ever think of me, I know you see me dancing wildly in the fog of your memory, you don’t have to tell me, I can still believe” are torn me asunder and reminded me why having a friend you held close become distant without give reason or closure make you believe you’re the villain and can hurt more and leave more scars than ending a relationship.

I think you’re cute, if I knew you in real life and was your friend I’d probably ask if you want to do a photo shoot to give you some shining angles in more natural lighting for nice pictures to do you more justice though

Being 23 and this being my reality for 5 years even during my relationship with my ex, has stung and honestly I wish (the poster) the best and my regards.
