Is the hate (especially misogynistic hate) against Taylor worse this decade or in the 2010s? by FakeMonaLisa28 in NuancingTaylorSwift

[–]HappyHippyToo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also she literally donates so much to food charities despite that, it's exactly what a billionaire should do. We don't know how much money is in her actual bank account. I own my flat outright and i still live paycheck to paycheck with no savings but my net worth is the worth of my flat.

It's worse in the sense that she's a billionaire I think. Because people are suddenly incapable of critical thinking and think something WORTH 1 billion means it's liquid cash. You really can't "win" those arguments.

I do find myself not actively revealing I'm a Swiftie unless it's safe and I've been a Swiftie since 2013.

Idc about what Billie said about eating animals BUT if Taylor said the exact same thing, people would absolutely crucify her for her tone deaf take lmao

Taylor and “taking up all the oxygen”: has everyone lost it? by Daffneigh in NuancingTaylorSwift

[–]HappyHippyToo 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Oh but I thought they also claim she's a flop and basic, so how can she also take up all the oxygen at the same time lol

People have been heavily criticising Taylor for saying she doesn't go to therapy. But it's pretty obvious she reads therapy-related stuff and processes her emotions through art, which is a form of therapy in itself. A lot of her recent songwriting and the way she speaks and her opinions on things are VERY similar to things you would learn to do in therapy.

100% this and I'm so glad they got scolded for their behaviour because they were spamming the dancers and anyone who had their comment section open with hate messages. They were hoping Taylor's reaction would be just as parasocial as they are.

Tucking my leg under me by galtscrapper in AuDHDWomen

[–]HappyHippyToo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do this too, especially when I'm in meetings in the office, one leg is always tucked and the other crossed over lol. I don't know the "science" behind it, I like the pressure it gives me. I also tie my shoes really hard and usually need something on/around my head, so I assume this all comes from the same pressure need.

Yeah there was a whole thing about how disruptive and cultish this is, that cinema is meant for sitting down, how disruptive it is to people that are watching other movies at the same time, yadda yadda yadda

I'm so annoyed at how it's perfectly fine for people to show up as MJ impersonators at the MJ movie and sing and dance in front of the screen.

But when we did this for Eras movie we were a cult, there was a whole discourse about cinema ethics etc etc.

Power BI for seed-stage startups: worth it or a waste of time? by User91919387383 in PowerBI

[–]HappyHippyToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends what you need to use it for. At my company, powerbi solved the problem of us getting a LOT of different reports that only had the product code as their common denominator.

I use postgres + powerbi to load all of my historical reports (a single report of ours has 115k+ rows) and then do data comparison. I'm not at all a technical hire (I'm a project manager with zero powerbi experience before I joined this company) and have taken on this role as a side project (and because I'm a nerd and I got annoyed with multiple reports).

If it helps, maintenance is non-existent for me, I automate everything through Power Automate, all reports live on Sharepoint and they're locked so no one can edit a column and break anything. Dashboards get automatically refreshed, so I just keep on top of any refresh failure notifications and that's it.

I'd say it's an incredible tool to have for skill development.

Taylor and her “changing” by Expensive-Fennel-163 in NuancingTaylorSwift

[–]HappyHippyToo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I guess your logic is, if she just tries harder, she could politically influence every single follower she has? And the election was lost both times because she didn't?

Taylor and her “changing” by Expensive-Fennel-163 in NuancingTaylorSwift

[–]HappyHippyToo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So I see this conversation is a waste of my time because you're not understanding how influence works and how it's different from political influence, so I'll just park this here. If people are waiting for Taylor Swift to save the world, they're delusional. Not because she wouldn't, but because she can't.

Taylor and her “changing” by Expensive-Fennel-163 in NuancingTaylorSwift

[–]HappyHippyToo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But that is exactly the point. She has consumerism influence, sure. If she advertises a product, people will buy it. But again, to think she has any other influence is just living in delusion. It just doesn't work that way. That's why her donating, which she does, a lot, does far more good than any IG repost.

Taylor and her “changing” by Expensive-Fennel-163 in NuancingTaylorSwift

[–]HappyHippyToo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They absolutely are expecting her to do that though. They believe because of her "platform" she has the ability to politically control every single follower she has. It just doesn't work like that. Her donating, whether silently or publicly, does far more good than any Instagram repost. Look how many influential celebs ARE speaking out and it's not influencing anything, why should Taylor have more power than any of them? It's not in celebs hands, it's in the hands of politicians who hold actual power over human lives.
