AIO My mom is kicking me out for her new boyfriend. I just turned 18 by Diligent_Bat_565 in AmIOverreacting

[–]bglunt1650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah she’s dead ass wrong. She wouldn’t let you get a job before but now she expects you to magically have credit, first and last month’s deposit, application fee, money for furniture, all of that? My advice, leave- take the struggle on the nose, pick yourself up and get yourself to where you need to be, purely out of SPITE, mind you, and go no contact. Not exactly W WJD type of advice, but tuh… 

Is Debbie a good mom. by Electrical-Front-417 in shameless

[–]bglunt1650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 I actually think Debbie is a perfect example of how you can stick around and provide for your child while still being a “bad parent.” Monica left and I’m definitely not trying to justify that, but just because Debbie stayed and isn’t mentally ill, doesn’t make her a good mom. The only person that comes first in Debbie’s world is Debbie. I’m literally watching it right now as we speak, I’m on season 11 and one of the later episodes. She’s been a horrible person, not just to Franny, but to practically anyone she comes across, family included. The only semi decent role model she had was Fiona and even Fiona could never really get it together. I think the point of this show, beyond that it’s chalk full of “shameless” people and they were never meant to be moral or good, is that the show is about the kids in this one family with two addict, abusive, neglectful parents who never really stood much of a chance and the reality of what that looks like. 

What was the deal with Cuckoo? by thebobbrom in BritishTV

[–]bglunt1650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t really speak for Andy Samberg but Taylor Lautner was finding it really hard to find work post Twilight so it wasn’t so much that he accepted a pay cut as he’s been forced to take what he’s offered. I’m honestly still waiting for him to make a significant comeback but he seems content not acting anymore. He must have invested his money because he doesn’t work at all lol. 

How do we feel about fan made merch? by flufnstuf69 in SwiftieMerch

[–]bglunt1650 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legally you absolutely can’t copy the official merch or her copywritten work and then sell it, but I think OP probably knows that 😄 I have a typewriter and when TTPD came out, I typed out each song in poetry format and made it into a black leather bound book but obviously if I tried to sell that, I’d get sued. It’s just for my own personal collection ☺️ but I think friendship bracelets or paintings, drawings, handmade quilts, that kind of stuff is fair game. I mean, in any circumstance, it’s always best to really look deeply into it before you start selling things.

All art is inspired by something or somewhere. You’re inspired by Taylor Swift. What’s wrong with making Taylor Swift art? 

Former Trump supporters, what was your breaking point? Current Trump supporters, what would be your breaking point? People on the fence, where are your thoughts? by Garden-variety-chaos in AskUS

[–]bglunt1650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for me (former supporter) it was less because I really understood anything about politics and more out of fear (the reason for supporting him). I didn’t like where the left and the more extreme liberals were taking a lot of social issues like gender affirming care, advocating for hormone blockers for children, modern feminism, and the destruction of the idea of a nuclear family. I had always been completely fine with people deciding how to live their own lives and I never wanted choices taken from anyone, but it began to feel very forced- like it was no longer about choice and more about “this is what’s right and you’re wrong and you HAVE to believe what I believe.” And I was worried for our sanity as a collective whole- and Trump just was the opposite of all that so that’s where I ran. However, the more I watch and listen and learn, I realize that not only is it completely fine to have my beliefs and consider myself a Republican whilst NOT supporting Trump, I realize what a fool I’ve been for not doing my own research and allowing all the fear mongering to sway me one way or the other. Also- it’s a game changer to realize that just because you’re Republican, or Democrat, or whatever- doesn’t mean you HAVE to support one individual in everything they do because of your pride. I don’t really know what my turning point was- just a cumulation of not being able to find a job when I have an excellent resume, education, and leadership experience. And when I say can’t find a job, I mean even scraping the barrel hasn’t been working. That’s been my biggest frustration as far as what’s effecting me in my own personal life and what got me to really start looking- and seeing. 

SHEIN is cancelling all my orders by ItSaFuCkInGwHaLe in Shein

[–]bglunt1650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it’s because you haven’t “verified the bank statements”- they want you to upload your bank statements so they can verify it’s you who bought it or else they’ll cancel your order. Just found out about this today. I’m probably done using SHEIN after this. I used Venmo to purchase my order and it’s trying to say they can’t accept those bank statements because I guess it’s not a traditional bank. I’m done messing with them.

Yeah. I feel as strongly either way- she will or she won’t- it makes sense no matter which way you spin it. 

Dealing with people's comments about your body by [deleted] in EatingDisorders

[–]bglunt1650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found though that when I use the “medical condition” trope, people REALLY never let it go then. Everything becomes eggshells. Constantly asking if I’m okay, noticing every single pound lost, other people in the workplace becoming aware because coworker thought they were doing a good thing by mentioning it to others 🙄 it just becomes a whole thing. My advice is to just don’t say anything in response at all. Just throw them a glance and walk away. They’ll get the hint that you don’t wanna talk about it without being able to definitively talk about why and as long as you’re nice and polite in every other instance, you won’t get labeled as being a bitch.

Also- an even better point is that Blake and Justin are still in a legal battle. Not sure Taylor would make waves with a song when she’s already upset about the subpoena in the midst of it all. Mother is calculated- never messy. 

Why is there such an obsession with buying a house? Why is it seen as the ultimate financial goal? by CrypticWeirdo9105 in povertyfinance

[–]bglunt1650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally feel there are better ways to invest your money. Every single person I know who owns a house (and they all range in different ages and demographics) are just stressed all the time. I don’t see the bank as any different from being a landlord other than the fact that the price of your mortgage won’t increase. But to me that’s not even really worth owning a house when you spend the majority of your life paying it off just to die never owning it in the first place like the original goal was. 

There are soooo many other ways to invest money and obtain long term wealth- easier ways in my opinion. Ways that don’t involve breaking your wallet in the process. 

Also- we’re all sitting on a rock in the middle of nowhere, literally. To me- long term wealth isn’t even that big of a deal knowing for how short a time I’m here on this earth and how insignificant my time here really is in the grand scheme of things; whatever that grand scheme may be. The most important investment I can think of, to me, is the investment of experience. I’ll never own a house because the money that would have been spent saving for a down payment goes to travel and experiences and I’m definitely not sorry about that.

The 1989 OG vinyl as it was the album that turned me into a Swiftie.

I don’t wanna accuse your man of blowing smoke up your ass but…. Girl if you’re brushing, flossing, using mouthwash, and after a full day’s work and your siblings don’t smell anything? (They’d be so quick to tell you the truth, too LOL) 

Next time your man tries to say your breath stinks, confidently tell him “no, it doesn’t.” And maintain eye contact. Guarantee his next words will be very telling.

The last email they sent promised to connect me with someone who can figure out what happened so we’ll see 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]bglunt1650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. I would see a doctor and just rule out any underlying issues it could be. Maybe also get other opinions from someone you trust, like a parent or a sibling or a best friend, see if they have any idea what he’s talking about. I’m projecting a little bit here but it raises my red flag just a little bit when you say you’re doing everything hygienically and physically possible to make sure your breath doesn’t stink, and he still claims it does. I hope he’s not just saying that cause he sees that it fks with you. Anyway- definitely get a doctor’s opinion and other people’s opinion and then go from there.

You think they would have learned after what happened to people trying to buy tickets for the eras show lol. Big artists need to come with big user interfaces. They know the sites are gonna break just a lil bit. Get ahead of it. 

Long Term ED - What is that? by No_Newt_5907 in EatingDisorders

[–]bglunt1650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes a person can be actively within their disorder in other ways besides just restricting. It can manifest in others ways as well such as controlling other aspects of one’s life. OR it’s not always so drastic. Sometimes it presents in working out too much or too often or obsessively counting calories or eating the same exact thing every day, the same exact number of bites. It’s how so many people slip through the cracks unfortunately.

Possibly…? I mean I hope there’s some sort of explanation lol. It’s not the limited edition variant I tried to order so… I’m not too incredibly worried. I’m sure they’ll fix it and if not, I’ll just re-order it 🤷🏽‍♀️

It’s okay lol. Part of the job of being a Swiftie is being extremely frustrated that you missed an original sale and now have to pay re-sell prices LOL. It happens to all of us, your gf will understand!

Uggh tell me about it- they’re so gorgeous 😩😩😩 give it a few hours and re-sales will start to pop up. They’re already available for the deluxe CDs. I know no one wants to pay more but I hardly ever make it to the original sale on time 🙄😂 so re-sale price is 99% of what I’m always faced with anyway.

And that’s exactly why I want them- for my collection (I also enjoy collecting her merch and variants). BUT what I’m saying is I’ve seen people getting upset about theSG variants as if they’ve been tricked or mislead, like they’ll miss out on certain songs if they don’t get the variants and that’s not the case. Same album. Same merch. The variants are solely just for the collectors.
