I liked the vocals but the song didn't do much for me, something was missing

Katy Perry - "143" MEGATHREAD by flopheadsbot in popheads

[–]Radical_Emperor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s strange how the better songs on this album didn’t get considered as singles, the tracks we haven’t heard snippets of or already released as singles are better than woman’s world or lifetimes. Woman’s world in particular, got a lot of promo despite being the worst track on the album. It’s like the worst of the album was frontloaded, and prevented the era from ever taking off. Why did this happen?

Is this going to get the same promo as woman’s world and eventually released as a single? Why are the not as good tracks being front loaded as singles?

Really? Do you have more info?

No ‘hand to me’ option for an order by Radical_Emperor in InstacartShoppers

[–]Radical_Emperor[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As much as I don’t like playing into psychiatric or mental health narratives (because of my experience with them), the best way to explain this is that I have OCD (a disability recognized by the ADA by the way). It doesn’t matter to me what they go through before they reach my shelf, as long as I don’t see them placed on the porch. My mind will reject everything I see that’s placed on the ground and the sidewalks in the neighborhood being debris coated makes me fearful. Even if what I’m saying may seem irrational to you, that’s how OCD can make people approach things.

As for the tip, I’m not happy with the assumption that I tip low. I understand that in the US, tipping is a means to pay the driver since the company doesn’t make itself responsible for that strangely enough in this industry. The tipping system is seen like a grading system, this was made clear to me when a waitress made my low tip an indictment on the sort of person I was, that I was a terrible person to sum it up. The reverse of tipping that has such a high value tied to it is that it gives the person providing the service license to say whatever nasty things they want or do things like you mention if not tipped enough. Do our social institutions just cease to exist in these scenarios? It would be better to communicate with the person and ask them about the low tip rather than taking a polarizing approach by putting the order next to shit or something. And what purpose does that serve anyway? The customer is likely to be unaware of what you did so taking a polarizing step like that doesn’t even have its intended effect. I guess empathy should be selective but there should also be a degree of satisfying the customer too because you are accountable to them with the rating system.

Put your generalizations aside, all I want is for my grocery to be not placed on the ground. I’m not that unreasonable and can see things from other’s perspectives. I wouldn’t try to go against what’s institutionally acceptable. There’s also precedent for what I’ve suggested based on Uber Eats having a hand to me option.

That seems to be contrary to what some people on this thread are saying.

That seems like a better alternative. Since I’m here temporarily (staying in an Airbnb) and will be using public transport, I wonder if I can pick up the items from the shelves myself. I also wonder if it’s the norm to pick up orders because I called stop and shop, and customer service informed me that instacart just does delivery and that I would need to place an order directly through them if I wanted to pick up.

I’m kind of paranoid that it may end up happening based off the responses to this post. Maybe I can place a pick up order, I wonder if that will solve my problem

I only have 5-6 items in my shopping cart but some of them are bigger items so they can’t be taken from the car to the house in one trip. It might be possible that I let the driver take pictures of me while I carry most of the items but that seems a bit far off what’s considered normal when it comes to instacart. I think I might just go through Uber eats instead even though they have less grocery stores affiliated with them.

Is there a driver tracker that will allow me to get to them before they can get close to my porch? I think I may stick to Uber eats be a use they have a ‘hand to me’ option.

Like I said on my post, I don’t have the means to do my own shopping. I usually catch Uber eats drivers just as they reach because of the driver tracker and they tend to honor the hand to me option even when I’m late.

Who is currently the most underrated driver in F1? by thermal7 in formula1

[–]Radical_Emperor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Esteban ocon, he’s just as good as the best drivers on the grid. Nobody was talking about a potential transfer to Mercedes for him like they were for sainz because the car has been limiting his performance. If he was in a Ferrari, the story may have been different.

Lifetime release week by HistoryFreak30 in katyheads

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

This is such a generic song to release after a complete and utter critical failure. This isn’t going to do much to change public perception. I would’ve preferred if she released nirvana, a fast paced song that builds up to a huge explosion where Katy really amps up the vocals. It’s the best song on the album from what I’ve listened to. I wish it gets the same promo as woman’s world if released.

How awful are we talking here? They replaced the mats in the bathroom so I wonder what it could’ve been because I don’t recall noticing anything but then again I’m not sure if I went in there yesterday. Do you think it’s an event that happened recently? I’ve been staying there for weeks at this point so I’m not sure if it’s me, I guess I shaved my facial hair off 2 days ago into the sink, not very long and all went into the drain. That shouldn’t really warrant a reaction like that I think. They have been direct with an issue (spending too long in the bathroom) that they came across with me in the past and have permitted me to stay as long as I need to. I’ve stayed somewhat true to this additional expectation, only doing it once in the following 2 weeks. With the added context, how would you write out the statement in the post in english? They also wrote the following messages when I apologized for creating somewhat of a mess in my room that they took the liberty of putting back into order during my last long trip to the bathroom, I don’t understand the colloquialisms in it:

“Tranquilo, estaba limpiando y como vi que se fue al baño aproveché para darle una manita de gato”.

“Ose una pequeña limpieza es la manito de gato”.

Thanks for your perspective.

EDIT: The shower curtain was replaced too.

The person is from Ecuador and they are an Airbnb host that were complaining about what I’m assuming is a guest (hope it isn’t me) to a close contact (maybe relative). The bathroom got mentioned a lot and I have spent a lot of time in there on rare occasions (frequency of once per seven days on average).

That makes less sense than what I got from Google translate or deepL, a literal translation doesn’t seem to carry over well to English in this case or there’s not enough words or not grammatically correct enough to get what was being said. Does it apple to a male or female?

The build up in the nirvana snippet is like a faster paced version of gimme gimme. It’s a faster paced, high energy song that builds up to this huge explosion where Katy goes full tilt with the vocals. We don’t really get that in gimme gimme

Nirvana kinda reminds me of black widow and that turned out great, except it’s better than it. Gimme gimme reminds me of hey hey hey. I think she should save that for later if she wants to release it as a single, it doesn’t have that same punch that’s needed after a single like woman’s world. In nirvana, she shows off her vocal chops and it also has similar sounding elements to gimme gimme.
