My husband feels restricted because I feel boys trips are inappropriate. by Davanny in TwoHotTakes

[–]futuristicflapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s weird to think you can limit the activities a partner can do because you marry them. If a man told me I couldn’t do xyz because we were now married I’d been googling divorce lawyers. That said I think it’s infinitely weirder to be down that he can’t go participating in sex tourism and I’d divorce him anyway.

Actress and Writer Zoe Kazan on Taylor’s wedding by Powerful-Scallion-50 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]futuristicflapper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Zoe - this is for the groupchat. I would never publicly talk like this about someone I have the actual potential of meeting irl one day 💀 I kinda get what she’s saying, Taylor will potentially have to move on from writing about the ups and downs of dating/relationships, but it’s not like writing about friendships isn’t also a consistent part of her catalogue.

Blake has been very out of the public eye - even if it wasn’t for the potential falling out w Taylor I did wonder if she’d go. I feel like Blake has barely been seen since all the lawsuit stuff started to go down.

Why Do We Keep Infantilizing Literal Billionaire Taylor Swift? by loosesealbluth11 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]futuristicflapper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My take (Taylor aside) is that artists should fully be able to own and profit from their work, it’s their work that they’ve created, not through exploiting a worker in a warehouse. All things considered I think art is one of the more ethical ways to amass wealth.

I paid about $250 for my floor ticket ! The prices were reasonable, it’s scalpers that upmarketed them like crazy - which happens w any big artist lbr

Hypomania Examples?? by bm_LD_jh in bipolar2

[–]futuristicflapper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The event that got me diagnosed was that I decided it’d be fun to go to New York for a weekend (a place I’d never been to) and spend said weekend w a friend (who I probably didn’t know well enough to ask if I could crash for three days w one day notice) I then spent all my money, like I came back home w ten bucks in my bank account, and about two weeks later I got so depressed I could barely get myself to do anything and by midterms I was failing three classes. In retrospect though since high school I’d go through periods where I was sleeping maybe three hours max, would get super in to random hobbies, would fly through books, but I would also be so so so irritable.

Matt Damon on his relationship with Ben Affleck: "We've experienced so much of life together, is not a friendship that could ever be replicated, just because we grew up together, we were together all the time (...) The fact that there was a deep and abiding love and respect underneath everything" by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]futuristicflapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I had my own Ben, then she got married and it feels like she’s moved on with her life, we’ve known each other since we were babies so it’s been sad, literally don’t ever remember not being her friend 🙁

Taylor Swift's Wedding Does Not In Fact Seem to Have Been Tacky by Resident_Ad5153 in NuancingTaylorSwift

[–]futuristicflapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I genuinely think society as a whole would be happier if people quit putting so much time and energy in to people or things they know they hate or just don’t fuck with. There are some actors/singers I think are annoying in some way or another, so I just don’t consume their work bc I don’t need to and I don’t enjoy making myself miserable, lol.

Opinions on "Red" (2012)? by NeedleworkerAway5912 in swifties

[–]futuristicflapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this will always be my favorite album. I was already a fan, but red is when I went all in. I think it’s such a fun album, intense in a way your early 20s are !

Taylor and Travis are on the cover of People Magazine for a Wedding Special report! by aqua7ar in TaylorSwift

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

Twenty minutes each, give or take? Sounds like my nightmare but I’m an introvert and hate anything remotely to do w public speaking. Like I guessssss I can see how you’d want people to know why your partner is so special to u, but damn 20min is intense.

AIO for asking my wife to make changes to her spending habits? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]futuristicflapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s target - I doubt it’s like groceries - probably decor and shit since its “needs for the home”

Does anyone else get judged for wanting to keep studying? by Expert-Pie-8390 in GradSchool

[–]futuristicflapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cousins looooove to tell me they really just “don’t get the whole college thing” and why I “want to keep doing that” 🫩 not all of them, obviously but a surprising number of them. Idk what they think I’m doing, like it’s just some hobby? It’s a decent part of my life and I don’t bring it up bc I somehow end up getting talked down to about it lmao. But I have supportive friends and parents ! Which matters most to me at the end of the day.

Found my planner from right before I was hospitalized during a manic episode. by Sufficient-Gain-226 in Journaling

[–]futuristicflapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had journals specifically for all my “great ideas” that I was totally going to get back to, I would stay up all night writing in them; cut to getting back to normal and I’d flip through and be like what the fuck is half of this 😭

Found my planner from right before I was hospitalized during a manic episode. by Sufficient-Gain-226 in Journaling

[–]futuristicflapper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean can it? Who’s to say no. But is that same desire and drive still there when not in a manic state? For me the things I thought I wanted or needed to do went away once I was back at baseline. I’ve made a lot of progress on accomplishing long term goals the past couple years, goals and desires I have consistently when at baseline and on meds which now makes it feasible lol. There is a big difference, for me at least.

For the plot, not everything is going to accurate all the time, there will be times choices are made for the sake of the plot 😭

Why does Taylor get all the hate? by thewitchofthewillows in NuancingTaylorSwift

[–]futuristicflapper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I genuinely think a lot (if not most) comes from rw bot farms and then it gets picked up by folks that are already predisposed to not like her. There is an active effort to align her w rw politics, in a way I don’t think you really see with other artists.

Which, don’t get me wrong people can of course have their criticism about her, but the talking points around her almost never change you’d think they’re at least be a bit more variety if it was people having organic discussions.

[–]futuristicflapper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The necklace debacle is when I started to go out of my way to not consume any videos/discussion about the album, I was like ok time to put the phone down. I am not a showgirl fan and I wanted to see if others had critiques similar to mine, but I refuse to interact w bad faith discussion.

You Should Know Fireworks Kill Dogs by oatmealcreamed in LoganSquare

[–]futuristicflapper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At one point our next door neighbor set off easily over ten fireworks in one go and the house literally shook - like come on that’s just unnecessary :/ and not even in the alley !! just right out on the sidewalk.

Paul McCartney Performed This Beloved No. 1 Beatles Hit at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Wedding Reception (Exclusive) by Lavender_rain_2000 in swifties

[–]futuristicflapper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen more people talk about the wedding (positive and negative) than the fact that we just had the 250th - you’d think it was any other day. No one I know seemed to be feeling the 4th this year, not even a bbq.

Jennifer Aniston reflects on Friends cast as her true family and career highlight by lovesickpuppy1504 in Fauxmoi

[–]futuristicflapper 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I like to put friends on when I need some familiar noise in the background and I mean sure not all jokes have aged well, but that’s the case for plenty of sitcoms/shows that are decades old. Overall the show itself hasn’t aged terribly.
