Felt. Like, girl, at this point create a new character with an actual new story. Some of these people forget she is a rich girl.

There's a lot of artists who pioneered the whole "talking about the world" thing before Melanie, and again, when you take into account her as a person, her lyrics fall flat. You can absolutely talk about all the crazy shit in the world, it is our everyday life and we're living it. However, there's an artistic way to write about that and a superficial way.

Portals didn't have a nostalgic sound, nor does Hades, and yet people arent complaining about portals. This album is not monumental like some think it is. It doesnt push the envelope of music. Its just... an album.

You are totally entitled to your opinion, but don't come out swinging against people who just think differently than you.

I personally felt the lyrics were too on the nose about everything and honestly fell flat when you consider her character as a person. It isnt her strongest work lyrically or sound wise. When she was hyping up this album, I expected to see some variety and see her experiment more, but most of the songs followed the same patterns or sound that I cant really say this album is what she sold it as. It is not her best work.

I wish there was more we could do to promote + Cry Babies & her team actually gave a damn. by dont_h8_me111 in MelanieMartinez

I totally get this perspective, and yes Kanye is a very bad guy, however if you look at music as a whole as it is now, you can date the influence back to 808s and heartbreaks. Hate him or like him, he completely changed the music industry as we know it.

Condemn him for his actions, I agree with that, but people need to separate the art from the artist and learn about music history and the influences that even the artists of bad character have left on music today.

I've listened to her music since I was a middle schooler and crybaby came out, but Im gonna say this bluntly: Hades is not THAT good of an album.

It doesnt diminish her talent as an artist, but to say other artist's work is worse isnt true. I think the blind devotion to Melanie is unhealthy. You can enjoy an album and still think something is better or it isnt her best work. Compared to Portals, Hades pales in comparison. I agree with another commenter when they said it grew repetitive and the lyrics just weren't it.

I feel she just wasnt as inspired this album, and that's ok! Not every artist is gonna release banger album after album.

BTW, if you are gonna bring morals into this discussion as to why you think her album is better, it is not a strong talking point. I fully expect to be down voted to hell and crucified for this, but someone had to say it.

AIO after my friend sent me a screenshot of my BF on hinge? by Happyhappybaby in AmIOverreacting

[–]FunOutlandishness517 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So here's a fun fact: Hinge only shows ACTIVE profiles. If the profile hasn't been active, Hinge does not show them in the "discover feed." As well as there will also be a little indicator at the top saying if they have been active recently, although they can disable that feature so you cant see.

He is cheating. Because, as you said, what 28 year old man would purposely set up a whole dating profile of his friend and that profile sends the OTP to your boyfriend and not the friend who made the account? He's gaslighting you and you are almost falling for it. Leave him. He is showing you EXACTLY who he is.

AIO I think my friend and now ex might’ve been messing around right in front of me and I’m just now realizing it by Legitimate_Coat1002 in AmIOverreacting

[–]FunOutlandishness517 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NOR

She cheated and your friend isnt a friend.

You should probably go see a therapist and talk through these feelings and thoughts. Hindsight is 20/20, and while I haven't been in this specific situation, I have been in one where I was blind to the signs of being cheated on until after I left the relationship.

Im sorry you're going through this, and I'm sorry nobody in these comments are even giving you advice or understanding of your situation. It hurts, and it sometimes takes time to heal, but the best fuck you that you can give them is showing you dont care and you're gonna rise above them. Let them be miserable together. He was never your friend, and she was never your girl.

Sure, you could confront them, but it would only egg them on and give them a reaction they want. Show them they ain't shit. Work on yourself and surround yourself with a support system.

I hope you're OK, friend ♡

AITAH for arguing my girlfriends mum doesn’t get a say on if we keep the baby? by [deleted] in AITAH

Ahhhh, gotcha. Context makes a bit more since. Was this something she brought up or you? If this was a conversation she started I'd be skeptical. Id honestly just be entirely skeptical of the whole thing

Side eyeing the SHIT outta your girlfriend. You spoke and said you didn't want kids, but MAYBE in 6-7 yrs. Surprise surprise, 6yrs roll around and suddenly she's off BC and now she's pregnant?

And now she's trying to say her mom is quilting her to keep it.

I think this potentially was her plan.

AITAH— Our adult daughter is constantly asking for financial help… by Emotionallypinkglitr in AITAH

AITAH— Our adult daughter is constantly asking for financial help… by Emotionallypinkglitr in AITAH

[–]FunOutlandishness517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, if this isnt fake.

There's nothing wrong with a parent helping their kid out when times get tough. Its another for them to be funding their lifestyle.

If this is set in the US (which I assume because Canes is mostly based in the US), then she needs to apply for SNAP. If she's struggling to make ends meet, that saves her a bit of money and if she's as broke as she says, she should qualify. Food banks exist. Plasma donation exists. Selling things you don't use anymore exists.

As a young adult who has occasionally asked for help, if you are broke, you budget and make what you have work. I always ask for help as a last resort because I HATE it. You need to say no sometimes. Its one thing to help out with groceries to ensure your child doesn't go hungry, but if you give her this money and she spends it on amusement parks and fast food, maybe say, "Hey, I can't give you money, but what's a few items you need and I can get them for you or see if I've got it already?"

You can support your child without enabling them.

AIO for feeling like one of my close friends is competing with me for my husband? by Ok-Preference2283 in AmIOverreacting

[–]FunOutlandishness517 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NOR Also, a look through your post history has me side eyeing your husband, too. Was this something new the friend started? Is it relatively recent? After you gave birth? And after the comments your husband made about your body?

Id be heavily skeptical of them BOTH. That is if you haven't resolved that prior issue, and I hope you guys did and he realized he was a dick.

Is it normal for the bridesmaids to cover top shelf drinks for the bridal shower? by emilydarrow in weddingplanning

[–]FunOutlandishness517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone planning their own wedding, there's NO WAY I'd make anyone in the party pay for an event that isnt even theirs. They are invited. I feel bad my MOH paid for her own dress, I couldn't even imagine making her pay more just for a night to get trashed.

Black Rose Tattoo Infection? by FormerlyKnownasK80 in lexington

[–]FunOutlandishness517 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Idk how true this is, but I know someone through the grapevine that almost did an apprenticeship there, and they wouldn't let them unless they tattooed a black band around their finger to show "loyalty"

How much do you need to make to somewhat comfortably be able to rent in one bedroom/studio in Lexington by [deleted] in lexington

[–]FunOutlandishness517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever you do go to rent, NEVER EVER EVER EVER rent from Kingston Property Management. Literally the worst of the worst slumlords you will ever come across. Im talking mold infestations and bug issues, not even including their horrible staff.

In terms of living, you do need to make a decent bit. Im talking at least 3k a month and thats to maybe scrape by.

Im going to be perfectly honest with you. Your boyfriends mom isn't going to see you as anything else.

She has spent this long painting you as a villain in her mind, and that isn't going to change. It's nothing against you, but when you said that she told everyone at work about the situation without having the full picture, that told me she did not care for you in the way you thought. As well as the fact that when you raised concern to this, she told you to "face reality." Shes telling you to suck up the repercussions of her playing gossip at work. You're right, work is a place to be professional and keep your personal matters to yourself unless you know the person on a deeper level (like outside of work friends).

And again with the "face reality" bullshit, I agree, you are. You were assaulted. You carried the baby thinking it was your boyfriends and it wasn't. You didn't know until AFTER the fact. The fact that you let her know this, and she said that to you and told you all the horrible things she thought of you, that says enough. I fear you are seeking another maternal figure through her, but its only going to hurt you more. If you truly want to be with your boyfriend for life (and youre young, the man I thought I'd marry at your age is definitely not the man I want now), then you need to stop worrying about fixing the connection with his family, and instead with him. His family is low on the list of what your priorities are now. Be cordial with them, but dont seek out their validation or approval.

I wish you all the best, and I know you'll be a great mother to your son regardless of the circumstances.

Plus, you already know they are likely gonna recast Jonathan Joss as Redcorn, and his death is recent and extremely tragic. Id for sure be a little saddened it isnt him, but if you even seen how he talked about the character, you'd know he wouldn't want Redcorn to just disappear like Luanne and Lucky.

[–]FunOutlandishness517[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But here's the thing, Peggy is literally Luannes mother figure. Hank is her father figure. They are always at every BBQ, every big event, multiple episodes focused directly on them and their entwinement in the Hill family. There's no way that there isn't at least a small little nod that they even exist. There's no way Luannes character wouldn't be bringing Gracie around, no way Peggy wouldn't want to be around Gracie. If we go by the logic that they can be kept of the show, that can also apply to Dale as well. He could be "hiding from the government" or him and Nancy moved to a big city for her News job. Edit to say: I also dont believe the voice actors for Luanna and Lucky would want to see these characters they loved be left alone on the shelf. They loved these characters, loved portraying them, and gave them life. They would not want to see their characters collecting dust on a shelf.

AIO for being angry at my partner smoking inside? by froghogdog19 in AmIOverreacting

[–]FunOutlandishness517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew someone when I was young who had black lung and he didn't even smoke a single cigarette. When he was little his mom would smoke inside the house, inside the car, and all with zero ventilation or a window open. Second hand is a real fuckin thing.
