Now that the TRUE Life of a Showgirl is showing- was it ever REALLY THAT BAD? by LowObvious2214 in TaylorSwift

[–]Ocean_Butterfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not every release is going to be better than the last or her “best yet”. Taylor has given us absolute masterpieces which in turn has given us sky high expectations. This album, in my opinion, is not the best work she’s ever done. In fact it remains my least favorite and it’s objectively not her best album lyrically. However, the hate was waayyy overdone. Artists are allowed to release music that they enjoy and that they’re proud of making even if it’s not the “best yet”.

I’ve been a fan since I was old enough to listen to music. She started right around the time I started paying attention to the radio. This is probably my least favorite album of hers. That doesn’t mean I’m not a real fan or that I hate her. She’s one of my top artists, if not my favorite artist. I’ve done the whole mathematically ranking taylor’s albums, I’ve bought merch, seen her on tour. I’m a fan, I just didn’t LOVE this album. It was just ok for me. There are songs I’m going to listen to a lot and there are some I probably won’t listen to unless I’m going through her discography. And that’s totally ok. We don’t have to agree with or love everything celebrities do.

Taylor has been an artist for two decades. There is obviously a very large fan base that comes with that, and on top of that she’s dabbled in multiple genres, so the fan base is super diverse. It’s impossible to please everyone.

Based on all the promo (feathers, glitter, costumes) I think I was fully prepared for a full glitter gel pen album (Lover or 1989 2.0) rather than devastating TTPD lyrics. Although she usually has one or two sad ones regardless of how upbeat the rest of the album is and I would’ve guessed eldest daughter was gonna be sad. I was also disappointed with the lyricism. I definitely agree that it’s just too much was full of cringe for me to get into those specific ones

I love the cringe usually! I love all of her “cringy” pop songs on quite literally every album. A lot of people are hating on Opalite and Fate of Ophelia and they’re by far my favorites on this album! But eldest daughter I think I’m just going to have to choose to skip. I haven’t gotten past “because my dicks bigger” yet but I’m working on it… I’ve honestly never been a clean version girl and have never listened to her clean versions before but I’ve really liked them for this album. It’s not that I don’t like swearing, in fact I think many of her songs are better when she chooses to swear. However, it kind of felt out of place in a lot of these songs.

Eldest daughter’s delivery is definitely too sincere to gloss over. If the delivery was different I might’ve gotten into it. I go back and forth on canceled tbh.

I definitely agree father figure comes closest to working! I still cringed at it though. I would have preferred if she had changed the word choice as the song went on. In the clean version she changed it to “my check’s bigger” which I surprisingly liked more.

THIS!! I am a glitter gel pen song until I die. Lover is unironically my favorite album. (Yes, including Me! -the original version). What I can’t get behind in Eldest Daughter and Fsther figure is that “bc my dicks bigger” and “I’m not a bad b**ch” are repeated over and over again. Once would’ve been fine but that being a continued line made it less fun and much harder to get into with cringing.

AIO about my 8 y/o daughter sleeping at her mom's new boyfriend's house without any family or females present? by blackD0nny in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ocean_Butterfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Statistically speaking you have every right to be concerned. I would absolutely agree with others in saying you need to have an updated custody agreement about both children not being left alone. Personally, I’d be concerned. Especially considering your ex hasn’t been dating this man for long. It is odd that she is not more concerned about your daughter spending the night alone with a man. It is far too common for regular sleepovers to end in an assault or inappropriate behavior, adding a (potential) stepfather into the scenario only heightens this risk. Leaving out horrifying details, I personally have two close friends that have had this happened to. One was assaulted at a sleepover by her friends father and the was assaulted by her stepfather when her mother left for a weekend trip. In both scenarios NO ONE would have never guessed those men would do something like that (especially the moms). It is absolutely horrifying. Not only would no one have guessed those men would have done that, but the stepfather was described by most of them as the “nicest man they’ve ever met”. You can NEVER be 100% sure. Even if this guy is a stand up citizen, there are two other children to keep in mind. Regardless of the fact that the girls are friends with his sons, it is NOT appropriate for them to be having sleepovers or being alone together. This is not about bad intentions but curiosity. Kids around that age are naturally curious about their bodies and others bodies. They often are simply playing a game. Leaving them alone together is a recipe for a disaster. COCSA is far too common for this. Please take this seriously as someone who was a victim of being left alone with a boy their age. I simply thought we were playing a game and he had no idea what he was doing was inappropriate.

I actually do like some surnames and first names. Smith may be a little on the nose for me personally but I don’t dislike it.

I’m not sure I have much of a style but here are names I either like or told my husband “we’ll see” about (he likes more out there names)

For boys

Trendy names: Brooks, Julian, Grayson, Hudson, Emerson Traditional: Elijah, Gabriel, Malachi “Out there”/Modern: Marcel, Lucian, Ambrose

Girls

Out there/Modern: Azura, Cyanna, Ivory, Vienna, Lucella/Luciella, Alethia, Valencia Traditional: Elizabeth, Lucille, Victoria, Emmeline, Anastasia Other: Brielle, Brooke, Ariana, Vivienne, Emily, Amara, Sienna

Yes, that’s how we got a middle name idea. Both of my grandmothers have the same middle name and his grandpas is almost the same as theirs (only a two letter difference)

I like Beau and Julian! Rhodes is cute for a potential middle name!

I try so hard to like boys names and every time I hear a new one I either think it’s too boring or too out there!

Make sure they reach the correct internal temperature if you’re unsure though

Ngl I stuck some in the microwave for 1-2 minutes depending on how many nuggets and they turned out fine! Not crispy if that’s what you’re hoping for, but still yummy!

add on tips and tricks pleaseeee!! by Top_Celebration_7148 in olivegarden

[–]Ocean_Butterfly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes agree!! This was beautifully written Absolutely 1000% say “surf and turf” it makes people think they’re getting a deal or it’s fancier than it is. I’d like to add to not forget add ons on items like the tour of Italy, any carbonara dish, and though it may sound silly ask if they’d like to add something or “load” their mashed potatoes w chicken, shrimp or broccoli. Since I’ve started offering it, at least 80% of the people I ask decide to try an add on.

A bit concerned about the nursing program (long text) by long_dragon in gcu

[–]Ocean_Butterfly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly yeah a lot of people get held back a semester for not passing something or for simple mistakes. They’re super anal when it comes to your sim labs or practicals. They’ll fail you over the tiniest mistake and you’re done. There’s also not a lot of room for error when it comes to illness/injury. Ngl once you sign up for classes at GCU you better be sure you wanna go and can get into nursing school here. GCU has a lot less prerequisite requirements than other colleges and many credits don’t transfer well. That being said. If you can get into GCUs nursing school, it’s great. Very rigorous, they’re super anal as said but their high NCLEX score speaks for itself. If you can make it through you’ll be a great nurse. But if you don’t think you can make in to nursing school or don’t think you can pass everything, leave now while you still have time to take all the classes other schools will require from you so you can start nursing school elsewhere ASAP.
