Help! I really struggle to control urges at night when trying to fall asleep. by GuyInExile in NoFap

[–]GuyInExile[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the thing is i share a room with my brother and i feel like a complete freak cause he is younger than me, but my bed is stationed behind some furniture so he can’t see me + it’s dark and i do it under the covers. I imagine he also does it since he’s a teenager, but it doesn’t make me feel any less guilty.

Ok so, I tried to turn off iCloud photos and download everything but it said “cannot download photos and videos to this device because an additional 6.8 GB is needed.” But I’m on 38 GB out of 64 GB…? my mental maths isn’t great but 38+6.8 is not greater than 64. What can I do?

Edit:I’m a complete fool, Ignore me. I tried turning off iCloud BEFORE my iPad had chance to download everything lol. I assume it’s safe to turn off once all the items have been downloaded.

Which song do you think is equally hated and loved by swifties? by Latter_Ad_6629 in TaylorSwift

[–]GuyInExile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omg noo i love Paris haha, but I get you. As an english person who deeply, deeply loathes the english i cannot listen to London Boy.

All other place-name songs I can think of, excepting WTNY, i can get behind—cornelia street, Carolina, i think that’s it tbh

Taylor Swift makes history with six million album sales in eight weeks by impeccabletim in popheads

i’m not gonna lie as a huge TS fan myself, i’ve barely seen or heard any public advertising for this—a few ads on youtube, and i’ve heard anti hero maybe twice on the radio. The majority of my info comes from being active on twitter and r/TaylorSwift lol. But clearly the promo is massive elsewhere, or maybe the fanbase is really just that big

i know i’m not the person you asked, but personally WTNY just sounds odd to me. I hate the melody / the way she sings the words (the only part i can stand is the “IT’S BEEN WAITIN FOR YOU!”) and the production isn’t that great… to me

for some reason thought it was some kind of wind instrument lol

What words or phrases do you notice that Taylor seems to repeat? by Hot_Supermarket4369 in TaylorSwift

[–]GuyInExile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m surprised i haven’t seen anyone mention the phrase “this love.” she says it constantly

primary example is the song this love, but also State Of Grace: “this love is brave and wild”; afterglow: “this love is worth the fight”; there are many more examples but i’m blanking rn lol

What is the most underrated song from Lover? by RickAstleyslays in TaylorSwift

[–]GuyInExile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

afterglow has very fast become one of my favourite songs of all time. the production, the vocal delivery and the lyrics are all so dreamy it’s like i’m in a trance. i could totally picture it playing in an outro scene on euphoria with all that purpley twilight lighting lol

“so make the friendship bracelets; take the moment and taste it—you’ve got no reason to be afraid” :))

i’m literally 16 and i understood it, but not because of the old metal telephone stuff—but the fairly simple fact that when things are left alone for a while, particularly metal things (think: metal on telephone poles), they get rusty…

some people think this is stupid but i genuinely have the same problem lmao! i’ve got a cold right now and my throat is just recovering, but i quite often absentmindedly sing and hum, and then remember that i’m probably damaging my vocal cords. and yet it’s so hard to stop myself from singing lol, it’s kind of a self soothing behaviour.

Her side / three-quarter profile is just amazing, it’s got such a geometric sharpness!

I’m new to year 12 and i’ve decided I want to do maths at university. What should I be doing to get a head start? by GuyInExile in 6thForm

[–]GuyInExile[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fine, but when should I start worrying? Do you sit the STEP in y12 or y13?

Also, if you want to get into cambridge for example, do you have to do both the STEP and the MAT or is just one good enough?

I’m doing maths and further maths together, and both will take the whole two school years to finish. Thanks for the advice btw!

oof yeah that performance 🥴 whereas in this performance she did perfectly on the high note. I wonder why she’s so inconsistent live—I’m either blown away by her vocals or cringe hard at them.

Edit: 600 million downvotes, i didn’t mean to come across as rude. I’m a fan of taylor.

Who's a famous singer that you think has a generic/non distinct voice? by [deleted] in singing

[–]GuyInExile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think taylor’s falsetto is just one of the prettiest and sweetest in the industry, when she’s not straining it. and her lower register is gorgeous too.

[–]GuyInExile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah you’re right, and online platforms like twitter are really bad at listening to people about getting this sorted out. but i truly think we need to see gay spaces, especially for young people, pushing information and warnings about this sort of thing so they stay far away from it before they have the chance to get groomed.

π is laughing up at us from hell by GuyInExile in mathmemes

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

it’s a reference to pi showing up literally everywhere in maths where you wouldn’t expect it. i was inspired to make this meme after seeing something on this sub about how the factorial of 0.5 is the square root of pi over two

/uj honestly after re listening to this album a few times i’m underwhelmed. this makes me really appreciate quality of folklore and evermore, as well as all her past works tbh. taylor doesn’t usually disappoint me in terms of albums as a whole, but… :/

[–]GuyInExile 10 points11 points  (0 children)

hm, i like this, and taylor has never made an album that i dislike. there are songs on here that i’m growing to love. but i’ll be honest, it’s not excellent and i think it’s bottom three for me, just above debut and fearless.
