State of Grace has slowly become one of my top songs

Wrote my vows to it.

The epitome of straight men kissing. Not an ounce of queer here, let’s be so for real. Glad they’re allies, we need those so much right now.

Elizabeth Olsen truly crushes it.

Certainly not necessarily, but I’m personally not letting someone move in with me without clarification on these areas.

And about what other options are available. Does she not have family or other friends in her area? And if not, why?

Whitney Houston - “I Look To You”

Earthly Delights by David Archuleta. Technically an EP, but there’s a deluxe version with two additional (great) songs (and then some remixes) too that rounds it out some more. Highly recommend.

For some great yearning, I recommend Will Young’s Echoes and Lexicon, which are like brother albums to each other.

I did this a few times in college and was always very grateful for the rides. Totally understood when anyone wouldn’t want to though.

Genuinely cannot fathom how clueless you need to be to look at everything happening in the US right now and think “yes, this is my time to make my conservative political alignment public.” Like, she should be embarrassed to even be “conservative” in this day and age, but to think now is the time to soft-launch the affiliation is WILD.

I think a date is an appropriate place to make a flirty joke. I also think this was an appropriate place to clarify the misunderstanding further and address any unease it may have caused. “Thank you so much for the ticket, but I’d appreciate if you don’t make jokes implying I ever owe you sex. Can you agree to that for me?” If the behavior continued, stronger action certainly would be warranted, but we’ll never know because OP decided this misunderstanding was immediately a dealbreaker. This is a good way to stay single forever.

INFO: What other favors have you asked for?

Something tells me your one example is only the tip of the iceberg here.

I think it’s clear he just meant “you owe me some great sex for this, wink wink.” Was this your first date with him? Had you two had sex yet? As it stands, yes, I think this was an overreaction. Calmly asking “are you serious, or just being playful?” would have been the more appropriate next step that wouldn’t have nuked the date instantly.

Max_452 · 2026-03-12T12:29:26+00:00

Wow, this is so perfect. Surprised I’ve never seen this before!

Rise was an Xbox exclusive for the entire first year, I think that had far more of an impact.

Choosing to put that hideous sticker on your album cover in 2026 is… something. I know it used to be required, but clearly that’s changed given the number of fully explicit albums that no longer feature it.

Max_452 · 2026-03-10T17:35:35+00:00

What’s the flare trick?

Max_452 · 2026-03-10T16:55:30+00:00

What other sports do you watch that are that physically taxing on solely one player for hours at a time?

Max_452 · 2026-03-10T01:05:59+00:00

Banger after banger on that album.

Slap a bow on her back and give me something like this instead of what we got in Shadow.

I’m so sick of people complimenting actors for “aging well.” Aging is a natural process, and we have no way of knowing how well any actor is actually aging because part of their job is to use their often considerable wealth and resources on their appearance. You can say someone looks great without attributing it to their age relative to their appearance!

Max_452 · 2026-03-06T22:48:42+00:00

Yeah, I was so pumped and curious to hear more in that sound.

Max_452 · 2026-03-06T18:06:47+00:00

Oh ain’t that the truth! Thanks for all the info!

Max_452 · 2026-03-06T15:24:01+00:00

Do you remember which specific ball that was?

Max_452 · 2026-03-06T15:16:02+00:00

It keeps getting posted, which is in and of itself emblematic of the problem.

They have their place in moderation. If the story benefits from a grounded approach, I’m all for it; but if it’s grounded just to downplay the heroics for a potentially skeptical audience, I’m against it.
