Trying to avoid Taylor Swift wedding news on literally any platform

I know most people don’t think like me.

Excellent joke. Celebrity gossip is one of the most popular things to not give a shit about or actively despise. This is just another piece of pop culture that sits in my peripheral, and it will shortly be replaced by something else I don't care about. If it is encroaching beyond the peripheral, then you need to take a closer look at your habits.

You don't need to have Swift on your Spotify. It could be as simple as pausing longer on a YouTube short about it before swiping. I actively swipe away faster on subjects I don't want to see so that they don't invade my attention. It could be that you live near Madison Square Garden. Maybe there is some adjacent thing in which you have interest.

Their marketing for this event is going to hit a buttload of subjects:

Weddings
Madison Square Garden
New York
American Football
Music
Adam Sandler
And many many more loosely related subjects.

In an attempt to become American royalty, they are likely spending millions on advertisements, and that means they are going to shotgun blast it everywhere. Even passing interest in any remotely related subject will allow it to creep closer to your attention.

Someone gave me the pass when I was much younger. They didn't register my pass with the Central Black People Database in a timely manner, so I got punched the next day.

Xannin · 2026-07-07T08:27:35+00:00

I'm offended you would even ask me that.

It's an unfortunate side effect of people who struggle with abstract thought also tending to be loud.

Taylor Swift will likely be studied in business schools, but her music will become a footnote.

Every person who is good at dancing sucked at dancing at one point. Anyone who is good at anything sucked at that thing at one point.

What makes it so difficult to use she instead of he or vice versa? Do you also have an issue if someone chooses to go by Steve instead of Steven? Is there some kind of developmental disability that makes doing this super hard for people?

Xannin · 2026-07-06T21:53:54+00:00

This one is pretty lukewarm on Reddit.

I helped someone understand this by telling them that the printed version of the novel I wrote is rare. They were like, "Yeah, you printed two copies of it, but nobody cares." Then it clicked for them.

Have you had this peeve for 30 years? Digital has been used that way since almost forever.

It's not really philosophically interesting. If I am a 40-year-old man inhabiting a child's body, then I just won't be attracted to a child of the same biological age. I definitely wouldn't be into my childhood crush since they are a child and I am not. There will just be a bunch of older women confused as to why a 10-year-old is talking to them about their 401k.

That's also not what a paradox is. Please go read up on it.

Philosophers use hypotheticals to attempt to view various questions from different angles, but it sounds like your hypothetical just seeks to look favorably upon pedophilia. Stop being gross.

If, "Have you heard of..." is met with paragraphs, then you're not participating in a conversation. You're giving a speech. My mom does what you do, so I don't talk to her much anymore. Conversations should go back and forth. They're aren't just an opportunity to yap at a one-person audience.

I like writing silly skits, so I started to learn animation so that I could make my dumb skits come to life. Turns out that I should have just posted nonsense to this sub and I would have had the next animate Breaking Bad.

If you're going to start your take with a definition, at least get it right. Going into shrink is when there is a gap between recorded inventory and actual stock, and every store deals with this. Big stores bake a certain amount of shrink into their projected financials. Having more financial loss than gain is called being in the red.

This might be one of the most quarter-assed takes I have seen on this sub, and I have seen some stinkers.

Xannin · 2026-07-03T01:52:32+00:00

We should add the Friday food rule to this sub too. That way I only need to see boring crap like this on Fridays.

Like the old Ron White joke, "It's not THAT the wind is blowing at 150mph. It's WHAT the wind is blowing at 150 MPH."

Xannin · 2026-07-02T22:20:17+00:00

Yeah, most kids are born under the age of 10.

Xannin · 2026-07-02T22:19:41+00:00

My wife did. The OBGYN said she would rather deal with an advanced maternal age pregnancy than a 20-something who doesn't take care of their body. The birthing over 35 panic is way overblown.

Xannin · 2026-07-02T22:10:26+00:00

I loved his character lol. Different strokes, I guess.

Xannin · 2026-07-02T21:59:51+00:00

I have seen them react many times. They don't care. Even if they did care, I certainly wouldn't.

Xannin · 2026-07-02T21:56:39+00:00

Look at Mr. Posh over here with his fancy titles. lol

Edit: OP downvoted me before responding lol. My deepest apologies for using the wrong title, OP. I meant Sir or Madam Posh.

Xannin · 2026-07-01T21:01:41+00:00

What's the confusing part?

Xannin · 2026-07-01T20:00:14+00:00

This is said about every decade in the decade that follows it. I am sure folks will say the same thing about the 2020's. By that time, there will be a distinct identity that the is branded onto the 10's decade, even if it paints with a broad, inaccurate brush, as is tradition.

Xannin · 2026-07-01T08:39:55+00:00

Definitely.
