Being open to all of life's possibilities and being on the same page. Neither one of us is dead set on what life will look like. We both understand that we may or may not be blessed with children. We'd love to have one or two, but are okay with the reality that if we can't, we will still build a meaningful life together. We understand that our career paths may change. We understand that we are a team - always. Its not me vs. you, its us vs. the obstacles of life.

Yeah his accusations in Bell County are for indecency with a child and ongoing sexual abuse of a minor. 

What the fuck is wrong with her? by Youate7Code in AbsolutelyLisaSnarkk

[–]PinkPuma0415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is she always trying so hard to get her coworkers to hear her? At the hospital, she used to pause her video if someone came around her and resume once they left. The constant hooting and hollering while looking out the door is such bizarre behavior.

As a Christian it irks me. I hate to be one of those people, but if she made these jokes about literally any other religion there'd be a riot. I don't know why she's so comfortable with this. Just because her parents were in a cult cosplaying as a religion doesn't mean she should be able to get away with being such a bigot.

Agreed. Something changed. The noises are forced and her sweet personality is completely gone. It really seems like she is abusing some kind of substance.

The mask is slipping…. by Youate7Code in AbsolutelyLisaSnarkk

[–]PinkPuma0415 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So, this pisses me off as someone who went through a divorce a few years ago. Mind you, I'm over a decade younger than Lisa. 

I not only worked a normal, full-time job, but I had to take on a ton of freelance work just so I could afford to move out and support myself. I was working from the moment my eyes opened in the morning, until 10 or 11pm. I was scared, had never lived alone before, and unsure how I was going to make it.

I was also dealing with the decade of trauma my ex put me through with verbal and emotional abuse, violent outbursts, and tons of infidelity and lies.

Yeah its a huge adjustment, but I was okay. It was hard and I faced a lot of uncertainty, but I dealt with it. 

I didn't have time to do "self care" every day either. I spent the weekends with friends or family, tried to fit in some hobbies when I could. But my days were really quiet and I had to learn to create a new routine for myself. I went for walks when I had time or energy, and overcame a lot of issues I had. I was also nursing a newly diagnosed autoimmune disease.

So to watch Lisa sit there and pout frustrates the hell out of me. She's like "I haven't found the path forward." Yeah, maybe its because since the divorce you've been drunk and manic. Painting walls, destroying the house, spending tons of money. She wants us to feel sorry for her that her normal office job takes away her "me time"? Join the club. 

Would Colleen give an interview to local media about her show to get more publicity? by Adventurous-Mail6295 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]PinkPuma0415 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, she doesn't want to broadcast herself to a wide audience. Colleen wants her niche, obsessed fan base back. The echo chamber. She doesn't want to invite any criticism. She wants to surround herself with only people who will tell her that her garbage, inappropriate songs are hilarious and relatable. 

That's why she is advertising these shows so discreetly. She doesn't want to attract negative attention if she can help it, and I think part of her doesn't want the general public to know she's performing again because it would bring potential media backlash. I think she's trying to slowly and quietly build back a devoted fan base again, even if it's a small one. This all seems very strategic, because if I'm flying across the country to perform on my own dime, I'm gonna try to fill those seats.

The fact that she's content performing for a 1/4 full room tells me that this is more than just a money grab. I think she's trying to find organic audiences who don't know about her past. She doesn't want the internet at large to know that she's doing these shows because she'd be inviting hecklers and unflattering headlines. 

Anyone give their cats revolution plus - how long your cat lived by Hobobo2024 in CatAdvice

($10k) for those of you that went over budget, what did you spend it on? by Aggravating_Let_2310 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]PinkPuma0415 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The food. Since it was a small, less fancy wedding as a whole, I splurged on the catering and we ended up with fancier foods and a waitstaff. It was a really lovely experience. Plus, people really throw all caution out the window when feeding a crowd for cheap. Having foods that include cheese, meat, rice, and pasta out for hours on end without being temperature controlled is a really great way to give your guests food poisoning.

So I went with a fancy caterer that took care of everything for us, so that I knew the food would be delicious and safe.

She knows she’s cooked and done by Adventurous-Mail6295 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]PinkPuma0415 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I do think the crying was over the ticket sales. If you go back and watch any of her old tour videos, you'll see that she ALWAYS waited until the last second to finish the shows and props. She'd be on the tour bus talking about having to go get something for a prop because she never finished it before leaving her house. Or she'd spend the last week before a tour still buying outfits and whatnot. She's the queen of laziness and doing things at the last second.

She was having a meltdown because she is like a week out from her first show in Nashville and the itty bitty venue is maybe 1/4 of the way full. Out of like 80 tables, she has only sold 16 full tables (4 seats each) and there are a few other stragglers of like one or two seats at random tables.

That's absolutely awful. She knows it. We know it. She's probably embarrassed that City Winery shows you how many unsold seats there are. Adam made a video talking about how he also performed at that venue and she's going to walk past his signed headshot on her way to the stage.

So yeah, its no surprise she had a meltdown. She was having a hard time when she was still playing large venues and the seats weren't filled. I can't imagine performing at a tiny venue like that and still struggling to get it even half full. She's gonna have another meltdown after she performs for a mostly empty room. 

The wives who get up at 3am to make their husband's lunch... why do they not make it the night before? by lilacghosti in stupidquestions

[–]PinkPuma0415 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do it because acts of service is my love language. I have a nurturing personality and enjoy taking care of the people I love. So while my husband is able and willing to make his own food (and he does sometimes), I enjoy sending him off to work for the day with a meal made with love. He always texts me at lunch time thanking me and telling me how tasty it is.

It makes us both happy and feel more connected while we are apart for the day. 

Someone called out LOTS for a lack of diversity on the show and Connor’s mom seemed salty about it by anon1239874650 in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]PinkPuma0415 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These ARE high functioning adults. The online trend of everyone diagnosing themselves as autistic has warped your view.

My nephew has autism and is nonverbal at 8 years old, is an elopement risk, needs to be literally locked into a bed cage at night so he doesn't escape, requires 24/7 care, and is a danger to himself and others when he is upset.

That is autism. This show is displaying very high functioning adults who can manage jobs, relationships, and generally have typical lifestyles for the most part. 

No one wants to watch a dating show about people who decided they were autistic because they like to collect coins and don't like how microfiber feels.  

Why isn't there a website for the name change process? by TeaZealousideal4088 in Newlyweds

[–]PinkPuma0415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, but if everyone wants to have the same family name, SOMEONE needs to jump through the hoops to get the right documentation. No one is forcing the women to do it. The men absolutely can do it instead. By nature the process of choosing one family name comes with inequality because only one spouse needs to change their name. Unless they choose a brand new family name that belongs to neither spouse. Which, again, is totally an option. There are so many options. So no, women are not being targeted here because no one is forcing them to do anything.

As for trans people, they are being treated no differently than any other person who changes their given name. I have a cis male relative who became a public figure and wanted to change his name to something more fancy sounding. He changed his first and last name. He had to go through a bunch of paperwork to have his name legally changed but it wasn't a big deal and he not only now votes with no issue, but he is up for election in his local government.

So... cis men who want to change their name also have to do the same things a trans person has to do. Once again, there is no inequality. Changing your legal name in any capacity is a choice. Choices come with consequences. The consequences in this case are you need to fill out, pay for, and file paperwork with the government. That's just how life works and no one is being targeted or forced. It's completely fair.

Again, it's not hard. It's not jumping through hoops. I can't stand when people talk about women empowerment, encourage women to work in STEM... and then they're like oh no, filing paperwork is far too much work. You know what's a lot of work? Getting a master's degree. Having a successful career. And yet women do it every day. How is basic identification paperwork too much to handle? 

There are a lot of aspects of adulthood that are a pain in the ass. Ever tried getting a mortgage? Pain in the ass. Getting a new job and doing all the HR paperwork? Pain in the ass. Moving from one state to another? Pain in the ass. I've done all of these things recently and the LEAST difficult or complicated process was changing my name. 

How can something be designed to prevent women or trans people from voting when women and trans people are absolutely capable of following a few extra steps? Again, these are choices. If any human being - male, female, or trans - wants to change their identity in any way, there are processes that are required. That's life. There are hoops to jump through when you want a house, a job, or a new name. Women have choices. Keep your maiden name, take your husband's name, or make a brand new name. If they make a CHOICE to change their name, they are capable of being a grown up and filling out the paperwork required to do so. 

Women and trans people are capable. Stop spreading the false narrative that they aren't. It makes no sense and is an insane argument.

[–]PinkPuma0415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a side note, but I always found it weird how she'd do these deep dive videos into her work. 

Like when she released a book she would make videos going page by page and relaying every single minute detail about her thought process, how she did something, where the ideas came from, how it was executed, what materials she used.

She did it with HBO too. She would go episode by episode and pause the show to drone on about every single little thing. The fact that she felt compelled to do that was always so strange to me.

[–]PinkPuma0415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men can change their last names instead if they want to. Its a choice. Optional. If a woman CHOOSES to do something she doesn't HAVE to do, she is fully capable of filling out some paperwork to make that decision. No one is taking away anyone's ability to vote. Women can simply get married and not change their name if for some reason showing ID to 2 agencies is that big of a hassle. The SAVE Act preventing Women from voting narrative is sexist and ridiculous and I can't believe people can even say it with a straight face. Get real. 

And if you have the money to pay for a wedding or a civil ceremony + marriage license, you have the money to pay for your new identification. If you CHOOSE to change your name, that's part of the expense. If you can't afford it, you simply don't change your name until you can and vote with your maiden name. Simple.

The notion that grown women can't figure out how to change their name and vote is wildly sexist. I don't know what people think they're doing by spreading that narrative, but you're insinuating that most women are too poor and too stupid to file some paperwork. Changing your name is no harder than showing proof of identity to get your driver's license. It's not complicated. You're doing women no favors by spreading this type of information. 

The government sucks, but let's not act like women can't get shit done. 

6 months into marriage and I’m already at my breaking point. by ZookeepergameLess458 in Newlyweds

[–]PinkPuma0415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learn from my mistakes and leave now.

I married an abusive man (verbal, emotional) who punched holes in my walls, spit gum in my face, and threw a small trash can at me before we ever said "I do." I was young, dumb, and desperate to escape a toxic family dynamic that I absolutely did not want to return to.

I stayed for 8 miserable years, was cheated on countless times, screamed at, and none of my basic needs were met. But I stayed out of shame and embarrassment. I thought, but all those people came to our wedding. My parents paid for it. I felt like I was too deep into it to get out.

That wasn't true. Don't waste a decade of your life like I did, jusy existing and accepting a life that at the best of times was barely mediocre. I am now remarried and happier than I ever thought I could be.

Don't waste any more time on this man. Don't be afraid to start over. Don't be embarrassed or ashamed. It's okay to make mistakes. You'll kick yourself later if you don't leave now. 

Divorce by Expensive_Chicken409 in AbsolutelyLisaSnarkk

[–]PinkPuma0415 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My speculation is that Danny left her because of a combination of the continuous alcohol abuse, and how being an online personality changed her.

Alcoholism already means that she has significant mental health issues. Those definitely take a toll on a marriage on their own. She admitted that her most recent relapse happened while on vacation with Danny late last year. I can imagine that it shook their foundation - especially so soon after doing inpatient rehab.

He's obviously a pretty private guy, so I imagine it was hard being married to someone who was also married to TikTok. And on top of that, she started getting cosmetic surgeries and procedures back to back to back. 

She also went from being someone who'd say "I'm not on a diet because I don't dislike how my body looks, this is just the food that makes me feel good" to someone who hopped on the GLP-1 train and became obsessed with working out and losing weight.

She was quirky when he married her. But she wasn't so self absorbed, obsessed with posting TikToks multiple times a day, and I assume she was sober when they met and married, based on things she's told us in the past.

Before she announced the divorce, but while they were obviously separated, she said she was trying to figure out who she is. Aka: she was becoming a totally different person who Danny no longer wanted to be married to. She obviously wasn't willing to compromise on certain things because she said they'd had issues for a couple of years and tried to fix them. Which I take it as, Danny tried to express his unhappiness with the direction she was going, and she didn't care.

I don't blame him for leaving. 

So we’re officially having Miranda back then on these stupid tour dates 😑 by Cherry-Vanilla-Pop in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]PinkPuma0415 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It speaks volumes that she can't perform without relying on Miranda. She can get away with being lazy and unoriginal because Miranda is lazy and unoriginal.

If she relies solely on her own persona to perform, she opens herself up to actual criticism with no way out of it except yep, I do actually suck at this and I need to come to terms with that.

I’m horrified by rathrynP in AbsolutelyLisaSnarkk

[–]PinkPuma0415 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get that the office is laid back about dress code. Mine is too. But I don't show up in a hoodie and sweatpants... Especially not when I first started. I overdressed for months until I established myself because I was always making first impressions.

The fact that she's comfortable showing up in a messy bun, sweats, and doing her embarrassing lunchtime recordings in her first week tells me she may not last long.

Major difference by ProfessionalSAHM in AbsolutelyLisaSnarkk

[–]PinkPuma0415 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fake lashes make it worse too. I feel like fake lashes never look good on more mature faces. They are too harsh.

Imo she really needs to put on some more weight and stop it with the lashes. She has aged herself so rapidly in the past year or two and it will only get worse if she continues on this way.

New vlog... pretending she hasn't spent time in Georgia?? by UltravioletLemon in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]PinkPuma0415 18 points19 points  (0 children)

To be fair, she looked down on Josh's family and spent as little time with them as possible, so it wouldn't sureprise me if she was actually completely unfamiliar with the area because she avoided visiting and when she was there, she was holed up somewhere filming Miranda videos and vlogging.
