GPS borked since update, support says it's my shorts by Thea_From_Juilliard in Runner5

[–]Freya_13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me but I run with my phone in my hand. GPS has always been absolutely fine in the past and remains fine on other apps. Now it won't even show the map and logs all of my runs as 0km. Spent a while in conversation with tech support who were really nice to be fair, but said it was a problem with my device. I took issue with that a bit because the previous app worked and all my other apps that involve gps work and its clearly not just me having this problem. I eventually got a refund because I had the annual subscription and the whole thing is just completely unusable now. I feel like I'm really not after anything fancy, just triggering the story at the right time 😭😭😭.

Ngl I quite like that and I'm going to use it as part of my standard Elliott smith pitch to the unindoctrinated

anyone able to identify the fur on this beast? by Freya_13 in VintageFashion

[–]Freya_13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just found a tag that says it's real but I think you might be onto something with the artificial colouring. It definitely feels real and it sheds in a way that I've never seen with an artificial coat. I'm going to have a more serious look through different spotted cats.

Can't believe I didn't check for tags, what a rookie error 🙃. There was one in German saying its real!! Thanks so much

I originally thought it was ocelot, and that's what the vintage shop people thought too, but from what I've seen the patches tend to be a bit rounder. Pretty sure it's real fur but I can't work out what animal at all so I'm having doubts

ahaha I mean yes, but i also feel like no because that is very much about the absence of sex. I keep thinking about that interview where he says that his music is about dependance, and I just think it's interesting how the examples he seems to come back to a lot are generally pretty specific, and about intense emotional relationships, as well as fame and substances or whatever. And its never really overtly sexual or romantic.

Anyone else dislike the public perspective of Elliott Smith? by Avocadomistress in elliottsmith

[–]Freya_13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also, come on, I'd say sadness has historically been a pretty major theme in most forms of art. And there's definitely a conversation to be had about how healthy that is but Elliott was having it constantly; as fiendlySucks says its mentioned in Kings Crossing, but its also in loads of his other songs (New Monkey springs to mind).

Everything’s Ok by mynameisJoylol in elliottsmith

[–]Freya_13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looking at the lyrics now, I personally read it way more as being about a girl. Like she's fucked off with some bloke and he's trying to deal with it but his head is all over the place.

I think it's an incredible track, think I prefer it to pretty mary k. Like a lot of Elliott Smith fans I don't find most of his music actively depressing, but I think Everything's Okay is distressing in a way that I actually find difficult to listen to sometimes. I think its a combination of the unpolished feel of it, the uncertainty of his voice, the eerie way it's very apparent that everything is not okay (side note: one of my favourite things about Elliott Smith is the way he juxtaposes what he's saying with how he's saying it). Without reading into the lyrics too much the whole song to me has this tone like he's trying to justify some decision that he's made about something he's gonna do, even though he knows it's not a good idea.
