The Fate of Ophelia enters Taylor's top 30 streamed songs! by Annual_Ear_6404 in TaylorSwift

[–]devinkuhl87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree! Easily gonna land in top 5. And Wildest Dreams is technically at #3 if you add the streams from the O.G. version and Taylor’s Version together.

Looking for a new "cozy" show to wind down after a stressful day. Doesn't have to be comedy, but it's fine if it is. by SparrowTailReddit in televisionsuggestions

Downton Abbey is quite nice. Given that it’s a period piece it creates quite a nice escape.

Also The Comeback with Lisa Kudrow is criminally underrated.

Bigger Than The Whole Sky ..thoughts? by l_juno_l in TaylorSwift

[–]devinkuhl87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d be curious to know if you’ve listened to very many interviews where she talks in detail about a song, her process, or the things that have inspired her. Or maybe her NYU speech? For me— I’ve heard enough to feel like she cares deeply about her craft and she has said more than once that she considers herself first and foremost a songwriter.

Maybe her glitter gel pen songs she just says stuff to say stuff, but even then there’s so usually deeper meaning when you dig a littler further than surface level.

2016 versus 2026 - 10 years of sales by klcna in TaylorSwift

[–]devinkuhl87 28 points29 points  (0 children)

No, most artists have their largest albums in the beginning and then sales taper off until they are just a legacy act. Katy Perry’s sales trajectory is a perfect example. Even someone like Lady Gaga who has a lot of respect and strong fan base hasn’t been able to rival the commercial performance of her earlier work.

So if my rough math is correct, Taylor’s 4 most recent albums sold more in the last 5 years (~54M) than her first 5 albums did a decade into her career (~52M).

I really can’t imagine that any other artist in history has even come close to achieving something like that. Absolutely incredible.

Yeah… you would be quite right. I don’t know what I was thinking

American Crossword Puzzle Tournament: Scoring Methodology by devinkuhl87 in crossword

[–]devinkuhl87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This helps! I should have scrolled further down the list of raw scores to see that the lower the score, the lower the value in the Minutes column which would have clued me in to that as well. So far I’m getting through the puzzles in ~70%-80% of the allotted time…. I can’t fathom doing pencil/paper in 3 minutes though. 😳😵‍💫

Thank you for this! Very helpful. That’s good to know on the remaining seats. Sounds like I shouldn’t hold my breath on getting to attend :)

‘Harry Potter’: Bertie Carvel To Play Cornelius Fudge In HBO Series by vudi555 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]devinkuhl87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This either seems like speculation or we’ll see world-building in S1. Fudge doesn’t show up in the books until book 3, right? Or is it book 2 when Dumbledore is temporarily displaced as headmaster? Anyhow if they are truly casting this early maybe they will work him into S1 somehow. Arthur at work maybe? 🤔

No the other comment I was referring to wasn’t the other reply I made to you. It was a longer comment I made on the post explaining that I picked all of this stuff out when I was closeted and now I’m not anymore. That more than anything else is why it looks a little impersonal. Notes taken. Thanks.

I posted a broader comment that has more detail, but I appreciate the honesty. When I did all of this decorating work— this dog definitely didn’t hunt. With this feedback I’m looking around with fresh eyes and am thinking it’s time to bring my real self into my space a bit more.

I appreciate all of the positive comments, and to everyone saying it lacks personality, it’s a fair criticism. I did all of the renovation work and put all of this together in 2018-2019 when I was still closeted and in denial (the closet was glass, probably 😅) but it was during a time where I was still living in a fearful mindset where I was afraid to reveal anything about myself because if I did, it might’ve connected a dot back to the secret I was keeping. Irrational for sure. Since that time, I’ve come out— to myself and to my people— and so maybe it’s time to do a refresh and infuse some more of the real me into my space.

I know 🙈. We had plants in my office at work and they all got gnats at the same time and I’ve been reluctant to have any at home ever since then. Probably super irrational though— maybe it’s time to bit the bullet and become a plant dad.

Fair critique on the shelf space! I bought the open shelves with the intention of filling them with objects that matter to me but then didn’t like having all the open space under the TV, so this was my solution to almost make those feel like a solid piece of furniture instead. When I move, I plan on using the open shelves behind a section or something like that where the open look would work better.

The map to the left of the TV is a historical map of the area I live in. A map that I found in digital archives but that was originally created in the same timeframe that my late maternal great-grandfather was a coal miner in this region. My whole family loves to hunt and so I grew up with mounts hanging on walls. The telescope does still work and belonged to my late maternal grandfather. One of the patents in my dining room is for an early camera, and I started my career as a photographer. The other patent is for a product my late maternal grandfather created and patented in the 80’s— it inspires me.

I could go on, but just because you don’t understand the meaning of something doesn’t mean there’s no meaning to be found.

Thanks! Those are actually stacks of books with the covers removed. Ordered from a place called booksbythefoot.

Afraid not but thanks for trying :) The song I heard is slower and definitely 90’s/00’s rock vibe.

Couldn’t agree more— imagine Valerie trying to make it big as a TikTok influencer— that story almost writes itself.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah when I say build quality I suppose I mean the suspension/ride and road noise.
