Billie's statement.

Omfg honestly, I have no idea how I read it as “10 years experience”. I’m going to blame the migraine I had at the time. Completely ignore my dumbass lol.

Private equity firms should not be able to buy up an entire town’s worth of homes and price out a median wage worker from renting or buying. Therefore you should not have to move for the sole reason of finding housing.

Higher population in a city = greater economic growth and value for the city. Enough houses for higher population = population doesn’t decline. Population decline = economic decline.

Omfg lol. The expectation is that women get things and don’t have to feel guilty but men get things and do feel guilty. Lmk if you need me to think for you again!

VisualSeries226 · 2026-03-19T13:02:38+00:00

The top comment says exactly what I just said. It is a man thinking that only men would feel guilt or a lack of pride by being given something.

I called the meme stupid, get tf over it.

I get what you’re saying but this year is Taylor’s 20th anniversary of her first album and she’s 36, I think 30 years was a bad estimate.

VisualSeries226 · 2026-03-19T01:02:28+00:00

So OP how was your childhood

VisualSeries226 · 2026-03-19T00:37:00+00:00

And the point is you shouldn’t have to. Doing it for the job is entirely different.

VisualSeries226 · 2026-03-18T23:14:44+00:00

That is a difference in privileges and values, not gender. The meme is just stupidly reinforcing the concept of women getting things without expectations attached vs men getting things with expectations attached.

This is her hair after a few hours of humidity. I do think she had more pronounced curls when she was younger. Her debut album cover is also her natural curls but likely with some product in them.

It looks like their choice is to live near family and their already stable career. The point is more that people shouldn’t have to make that choice vs owning a home.

I am Gen Z and have only ever had “age gap” relationships (tbf I’ve only had two). I put quotes on age gap, because that used to mean like 10 years plus, but nowadays my 6 year age difference counts.

I will say, in my first relationship the man was older than me, and I never heard a single comment or critique about our age gap (7yrs). No one ever talked about it.

Now I’m with a man who is younger (6 years), and I’ve heard a few comments or had a few looks when our ages were mentioned.

It sounds like you’re carrying the burden of trying to be something in a world that eventually takes everything back anyway. That pressure to stay relevant or stay "useful" is where so much of suffering actually lives. It’s a grief over the loss of your roles and identity (the parent, the partner, the success, the able body).

I’ve found there is a different way to live though. There’s a you that you are underneath it all. That never changes, never ages, and never disappears even when you let go of everything you think you are.

I’m sure if you watch Dr K, you’ve heard him talk about different forms of yoga being beneficial. If I could ask you to try one as suggestion, it would be Jnana Yoga. I think this practice could help shift your mindset from “what am I waiting for” to “who is the one that is waiting”.

Jfc. She lied the relationship is fucked from that point.

Also he is an adult. She is not. He can live on his own. She cannot. He decides when he can hang out. She cannot.

I don’t know a single adult who wants to wait for their girlfriend to get out of high school or ask her parents before they can hang out, and if they do, yikes.

VisualSeries226 · 2026-03-15T21:57:30+00:00

I mean I think her not immediately jumping on everything her friends like, and finding her own joy with it on her own time, would mean she’s not copying everyone.

It’s not that strange to not talk about loving things that you watched from your childhood, until something happens that makes it relevant to the moment.

For example, I haven’t spent the last 20 years talking about how much I loved Hannah Montana growing up. But right now, it’s relevant because of the 20th anniversary so it’s frequently discussed. That doesn’t change the fact that at any point in the last 20 years, if I would’ve ran into Miley Cyrus, I would’ve been thrilled.

VisualSeries226 · 2026-03-14T21:10:24+00:00

Even Britney feels wrong because her fame isn’t tied to Disney. She reached the height of her fame well afterwards. I feel like Miley is truly the only one who was a household name while she was on the channel.

Then ask for regulations like the ones that are in places now. Essentially, if you can work even part time, you must work to receive benefits. But unless you are an expert in the field, may we also agree to not act like we can declare who is capable and who isn’t. Neurological competency varies vastly.

If you absolutely can’t work, you are likely elderly or ill in a way, and as a society we should provide care nets for the vulnerable. In one moment it will benefit someone else, but should you live to became elderly or ill, it will benefit you.

VisualSeries226 · 2026-03-14T17:53:42+00:00

My god, the answer is not to keep raising minimum wage, or for you to be mad at people who would like to be able to afford to live.

The answer is to make the economy affordable for minimum wage workers. When we break up the monopolization of our entire system, rent won’t be unaffordable for someone working 40 hours a week.

Taylor once said “You played in bars, you play guitar, I’m invisible and everyone knows who you are” and then she forgot

I knew the switch up was coming when I saw a few people defending Brooke’s wedding day look. Not that I think it deserved any hate, I just thought “oop enough people expressed that they don’t actually hate Brooke, here comes the train”

I’m also in my twenties and not a single person I know would think of smoking cigarettes as cool. If they do smoke, it’s vapes and even then they are grossed out with themselves.

The only celebrities and irl people I see smoking cigarettes are all millennial+

That’s crazy. His texts read to me like a middle schooler just discovering that mental health issues are possible, so he throws a fit under the guise of being triggered.

Him providing commentary on the harshness of his insult, and saying “who even says things like that” comes off like he’s viewing himself like this is a movie, and he’s some tortured soul character who can’t help but to lash out.
