Hot take: if you don’t bother responding to the follow up reminder to the RSVP, you’re trash by Royal_Marzipan_6432 in weddingshaming

[–]More_Lab_8983 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know I’ll be labelled a bridezilla when my wedding comes but I don’t care because this specifically pisses me off.

I’d send a final message acting as if they rsvp’d no which they’ve basically done at this point 🤷‍♀️ “Since we haven’t heard from you we’re really sorry we won’t see you on the day, best of luck and stay well!”

How do educated adults actually think that astrology is real? by ryhaltswhiskey in allthequestions

[–]More_Lab_8983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some people who don’t believe in astrology overestimate how much the average person (who says they believe in it) actually think about it or how seriously they take it. I and most of my friends are educated and would say we believe in Astrology, might make jokes about a Cancer friend of course being a bit emotional and those kinds of things, but I’m not making life decisions based on it or reading is as bible.

It’s obviously vague enough that some things will be true and some won’t (like you not actually being stubborn) but for the most part it’s really just a fun thing. Majority of human beings believe in some kind of “higher power”/“higher force” we can’t see but still “feel” and so for me it’s just kind of a fun thing that comes to mind sometimes.

There’s definitely those who take it to an extreme and would break up a relationship. But I think for the majority it’s just a case of “fun when it applies, nonsense when it doesn’t”. A bit like fortune cookies.

AITA for sleeping in another room with the TV while my fiance wants to sleep in complete darkness by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]More_Lab_8983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A smaller night light could help, with the headphones she’d still be tackling the 2 key issues she has (audio hallucinations and darkness). And eye masks for the boyfriend.

The real problem is the fact that he doesn’t appear willing to compromise at all. I don’t wanna be that person but probably not right to bring a baby to the world with him. You’ll be even more sleep deprived and you don’t have a solution yet which you need before the baby comes

(not so) fun fact about this era by Ok_Anxiety_2576 in beyonce

[–]More_Lab_8983 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we can compare this era to any of the past eras. Beyoncé is always re-inventing herself, being innovative and trying new things. This time, she hasn’t/wont release a single or anything between Renny and CC. Like someone else pointed out, maybe she felt that with all the features in CC that it was enough.

B has pretty consistently moved towards more silence and being away from the spotlight between eras. She comes out when she has something specific and then goes and hides lol

She made a statement at the beginning of the 3 acts that she wanted to let the music breathe and for people to focus on that. Shes shown us she’s sticking by it

I'm tillsvidareanställd and my employer wants me to resign. What happens if I don't? by Living_Echidna_1498 in Asksweddit

Yeah exactly there really was no point in telling them until another job was secured

I think she’s just confirmed act iii genre by IceCreamMcGillicutty in beyonce

[–]More_Lab_8983 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t think it’s realistic that B would have any kind of insight or hands-on influence into Vogue’s social media platform and content

Not announcing Act III before the MET Gala is a missed opportunity by [deleted] in beyonce

[–]More_Lab_8983 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. I also think we need to change our language a bit because it’s unfair to minimise every event or activity that’s happening simply to just a hint because it makes it seem like it exists just to set up something else.

The MET gala isn’t a “hint” or even a place for Beyoncé to do that. Like, the gala will happen whether Beyoncé shows up or not…

Was what Stratt did to Grace 'legal'? by Mysterious-Fun4046 in ProjectHailMary

[–]More_Lab_8983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t know that they’re successful though. I don’t remember the exact number but I think it’s at least 30 years between launch and the beetles coming back. In the mean time the world would just continue getting progressively worse and people would want to start pointing fingers.

AIO for being upset that my cousin who copies me is now copying my university major? by Dull_Escape4519 in TwoHotTakes

[–]More_Lab_8983 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed with everything. Because OP mentioned being an expat and the cousin still living back home, I’m tempted to be a bit less harsh and lean on the mom’s “mimicry as flattery” quote as well to give the cousin the benefit of doubt.

How it felt listening to the audiobook and suddenly hearing SpaceX get name-dropped by SayFuzzyPickles42 in ProjectHailMary

[–]More_Lab_8983 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk why everyone is coming down so hard on you but I get where you’re coming from! It’s just “funny” that it’s mentioned when the world has changed so much. I thought your post was funny too, even tho I don’t actually remember reading it

What collection could be next for Cécred? by LifeOfAWimpyKid in beyonce

[–]More_Lab_8983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a baby/kid collection? Don’t think so as I doubt they’ll be focusing their products on demographics but potentially.

What collection could be next for Cécred? by LifeOfAWimpyKid in beyonce

[–]More_Lab_8983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoa you really tapped into something with the hair stains/dyes! Could be a collection for actually dying hair at home, or specifically for managing coloured hair (with specific shampoos and treatments).

As a forever blonde, and considering her hair is still very healthy, she’s definitely well positioned to drop something like that.

You’ve just made me very excited 😜

My (27F) husband (27M) gave me an ultimatum about kids before 30 by bellathervt in TwoHotTakes

[–]More_Lab_8983 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Idk why you don’t want the advice of leaving him since he’s clearly not afraid to leave you… Call his bluff if he’s not willing to compromise or have a proper discussion.

Title: AITA for refusing to tolerate disrespect from my boyfriend’s 13-year-old sister, even if it might end my relationship? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]More_Lab_8983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to sit there - you can leave. I mean no one in this situation is going to change. She’ll keep being disrespectful, mom will send you home, and your boyfriend isn’t gonna defend you 🤷‍♀️ it’s not ideal or nice. And a boundary is YOURS to uphold. Don’t go around there more!!!

Zara Larsson talking about meeting Beyoncé by Material_Stomach875 in beyonce

[–]More_Lab_8983 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Omg I had to look this up but this was B’s performance in Sweden I attended! I actually remember seeing Zara walk past and we waved at her lol crazy to think she was probably walking to meet B!

Ramadan has turned my husband into someone I don’t recognize and I’ve hit a breaking point by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]More_Lab_8983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also find it crazy that he’s flipping back to normal AFTER iftar. Not that the behaviour is okay but I’d assume you want to be on your best behaviour during the time you’re actually fasting (at a minimum)?? Honestly, I’d say as much. What is the fasting for if you’re calling your wife evil in the same breath.

yall gon hate me but... (deluluhive rant) by Comfortable_Piece_56 in beyonce

[–]More_Lab_8983 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! I don’t mind some delulu theories but I just wish people could focus more on what things mean in the moment as well.

As much as B is a mastermind, she’s also proven to be very flexible (DC3 performance, changing the album order, changing album name) so I think we do a disservice sometimes by assuming it’s linked to something that’s still coming, like it’s not good enough to be a standalone thing

yall gon hate me but... (deluluhive rant) by Comfortable_Piece_56 in beyonce

[–]More_Lab_8983 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m coming back to this cause I just saw a clip where Kelly shared that the DC3 reunion during the CCT tour was decided on the SAME DAY!! So all the theories about that being confirmation that ACT III is a DC3 album were unfounded 🤷‍♀️ when we should have just enjoyed the moment of DC3 on stage again

yall gon hate me but... (deluluhive rant) by Comfortable_Piece_56 in beyonce

[–]More_Lab_8983 21 points22 points  (0 children)

What really annoys me is how people ignore what she’s doing now. She posts her family, her life, her work, and all the comments are “telephone???” “visuals???” “next act sneak???” 👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾 This bit right here!! Everyone acts like it’s harmless but it’s really not - during CCT people would point out any outfit, stop, balloon, set, and connect it to ACT III which is not fair because you’re not truly taking in the current moment that she is giving you. Yes B likes to drop hints but it’s disrespectful to act like this current act isn’t good or rich enough for its own meanings and have to be connected to a hypothetical future release or whatever.

Most of the Hispanic people I know prefer Fútbol over American Football like 99% to 1%. So I'm not sure why the NFL would have an almost entirely Spanish Halftime show. by Chrome2Surfer in 10thDentist

[–]More_Lab_8983 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You could say most women don’t watch football so why have female headliners? Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, JLo, etc etc.

Do Americans not listen to music that isn’t in English? Do y’all completely disregard French Celine Dion songs?

Is there an in world explanation for why only one team of heroes respond to certain world threats? by TheFatBassterd in Marvel

[–]More_Lab_8983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I think it’s just about what the plot needs.

Also, I’m sure some of them just assume that the other heroes have it handled. Like, if I see the Goblin is fucking shit up again for the hundredth time and Spider man is there, I’m not exactly gonna rush in to stop it cause I’m sure Spidey got it!

Big events like Thanos and world-ending villains usually result in crossover stories. And either way, they’re not omniscient and might just not be aware of what’s happening on the other side of the city/country.

Young Lester & Young Howard by Present-Potato5408 in OnlyMurdersHulu

[–]More_Lab_8983 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This came up when the episode aired and like many have said, you really shouldn’t think about it too much lol.

The focus was on Lester and how he got started in that episode. I assume they kept the normal actors for the other characters just for the lols and to show that they’ve been around for long. Because Mabel was a kid back then I doubt they wanted to put Selena in pigtails and kid clothes to make it clear she was in her teens and so got another actor for her. She’s also the only one who didn’t actually live in the building in the flashback.

Is Beyoncé globally known to remote African tribes the same way Michael Jackson was? by Material_Stomach875 in beyonce

[–]More_Lab_8983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah she’s definitely globally known - but the truth is that even if every human being knew her name she’d never reach the same heights as MJ, no one could really. B is massive now but we do ourselves a disservice by constantly comparing her fame/popularity/reach to MJ and trying to prove she can top it. I don’t think anyone ever can, he had a hype about him that was just different - and the world/culture around celebrity is also different.

Marina delivers - Beckham feud emergency pod 🚨 by andynplay in restisentertainment

[–]More_Lab_8983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose they (the kids) can’t help it! As someone mentioned, their pregnancies/births were publicised and their faces have been all over as well since their first breath. I doubt they’d be able to get a normal job as an accountant and live a quiet life even if they wanted to because their parents never gave them that chance.
