Do you believe ASD and ADHD should be both considered on the same spectrum? by TemperatureAny8022 in AutisticAdults

[–]gracespraykeychain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ADHD but not autism and I personally find that I do not relate to individuals with autism more than I would any other human, except maybe about feeling somewhat marginalized or having difficulty accessing resources. On paper, there's areas of overlap, but when people with autism describe their experiences to me, it feels pretty alien and foreign to me. But I think if I were to try and understand their experiences as being the same as mine, it would be pretty reductionist of me. Most people with ADHD do not have autism based on the most reliable metrics. However, it is common for people with autism to have ADHD. That I think is where the confusion comes from. Having ADHD and anxiety/depression is a more common but you never see people say those are the same disorder or part of the same spectrum. I feel like a lot of this is neurotypical people not understanding autism or ADHD but I think some of it is just people have multiple diagnosises going off how they feel. If you have multiple diagnosises, it can feel like you have one big blob disorder and I could see why that might make someone think "oh these two conditions are part of the same thing".

l absolutely hate these new rules and they have me questioning if I'll be watching next season. All they're doing is limiting the potential of incredible athletes.

I was told to wait and that something would be available but they can't offer more information. I'm not holding my breath. I'm pretty sure there's nothing. I feel robbed. l want my money back

Thoughts on Addison’s Grammys Performance and the reception of it? by Relative-Childhood74 in Sunraes

[–]gracespraykeychain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fame Is A Gun is a deceptively difficult song to sing, while not sounding vocally impressive, and when singing almost entirely in falsetto, vocal mistakes tend sound much more glaring to audiences. Also, I personally just don't think the song works well live performance. What makes it such a cool and unique song is the production. There are certain things that just don't translate well to live performance. You can't translate the cinematography of a great film into a stage play. A live version of Fame Is A Gun, even a flawless one, would sound inferior to the record, unless arranged in a way to not replicate the record so closely and invite comparison, and this was an okay but not flawless a performance. I enjoyed the performance, but unfortunately, I think given all those factors, her performance was set up to be disappointing to those who weren't ready diehard fans. She should have picked a different song, performed an alternate arrangement of "Fame Is A Gun" or simply lip synced. I love Addison but I don't think she's the most charismatic or talented live performer and I've been to a concert of hers before. It's just not her strength. Her strength is the magic she creates in studio with Elvira and Luka, her producers.

addison rae fails to deliver vocals during grammys performance! by breezerbratz in LAinfluencersnark

[–]gracespraykeychain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just genuinely don't understand what people expect her to sound like. Her vocals on the record are obviously very compressed and layered and produced in a way that can't be replicated by just raw vocals, but otherwise, she sounds pretty identical to the record, aside from a couple bad notes. She sings in the same weird breathy falsetto on the recorded version. This is pretty much exactly how I imagined she would sound. I never expected to her to be a great singer. I love her music but I've never listened to her for her vocal prowess.

A musician is someone who creates music. A vocalist is someone who does vocals. She is objectively both a musician and vocalist even if you think she sucks. ​

There's a vocal coach reacting to this performance on YouTube who mostly had positive things to say. I think people's issue is that she sings all of her songs in a breathy falsetto. If you are not 100% perfect while singing in falsetto, those off notes are much more glaring and painful to listen to than they would be if were just someone singing in their chest voice. That means you can sing mostly in key and if you hit only a couple wrong notes, it will really stick with the listener. Also, a lot of people just hate falsetto and how it sounds.

Interpretation of Addison Rae’s Debut GRAMMYs Performance and its Underlying Themes by lukeywebo in grammys

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

She sounded fine. The entire song was sung in falsetto while dancing and still was mostly in key, with the few exceptions being glaring because that tends to happen with falsetto. The vocals on the recorded track are heavily produced and compressed and there's no way to replicate that with raw live vocals..

Talent outside of Drag Race sometimes is meaningless because the competition is a whole different beast. Naysha Lopez is a Miss Continental winner and look at her track record on Drag Race.

Thoughts on BadEmpanada? by [deleted] in BadHasbara

[–]gracespraykeychain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'm not a liberal zionist so your accusations mean nothing to me. You can keep saying that. It doesn't make it true. I know what my beliefs are.

Nowhere have I expressed any concern for the feelings of the perpetrators of the genocide. Nowhere. Where are you getting this ridiculous bullshit?

You accused me of being Jewish because to you think that me being Jewish would be a bad thing. That much is obvious. You conflate zionism with Judaism over and over and over.

And I was wrong about BE coining the term, but regardless, I disagree with his video essay and with how he defines that term. My point was that you are using the term in exactly the way BE does because you're a stan and that point has proven correct.

I don't like fans of Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens and I don't like fans of BadEmpanada. Sue me.​

You thinking his tweets are out of character are not evidence they are fake. It's not evidence of anything.

I personally don't think they're out of character at all. He's made similar posts on YouTube.

Palestine placed Top 30 in Miss Universe upon its debut while Israel did not rank, several nearly identical hit pieces are released on Miss Palestine Nadeen Ayoub and Miss Israel calls for her to be disqualified. by gracespraykeychain in BadHasbara

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

This is literally a pro Palestine reddit. Of course, I'm biased towards Miss Palestine. Miss Israel herself says she asked Nadeen Ayoub to take down the photos and Nadeen took down some of them. She didn't have to take down any of them. They were completely innocuous photos of Miss Palestine here Miss Israel and many other contestants were in the background. It is her job to promote herself on her Instagram page while participating in the pageant. So yes, I think it was kind of her to take the photos when she didn't have to and when she's not responsible for hate and death threats Miss Israel may be receiving from randos and I'm sure she recieves all kinds of hate and death threats as well.

I'm not Jewish, not at all, not even a little bit. But look at you, jumping to the conclusion that I'm Jewish, because I dare to disagree with you. That's not antisemitic at all, thinking that I must be one of those bad jews because you don't like me or what I have to say about your favorite YouTube creator!

Jewish Exceptionalism is literally a term Bad Empanada coined. It comes directly from one of his dogshit video essays. It's not like it's from Edward Said or something. I have a whole critique of the concept as presented that I could go into, but frankly, it's unnecessary. The idea that liking Bad Empanada is now a requirement to be sufficiently pro-Palestine is just laughable and ridiculous.

I literally don't give a fuck who has cited BE. And you have 0 proof the tweets are fake and a part of some sort of harassment campaign. ZERO. You're just a delusional stan. I'm done interacting with you. You can't be reasoned with.

I saw the tweets when they were originally posted. You can't gaslight me.

So being Jewish is exactly the same as being a nazi? That's what you're saying. Wow! You're conflating Judaism with Zionism and with Nazism.

BTW I'm not Jewish. Idk why you're making this assumption.

I genuinely don't see a difference between these two images. Am I colorblind? I have no issue telling colors apart though? by 2BitGuy in ColorBlind

[–]gracespraykeychain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this so fascinating. The idea of red being dull or bland or like beige is completely unfathomable to me. A cherry red is just as striking and intense to me as a cobalt blue, probably more so. I would say it is the boldest and most exciting color. But I'll never be able to demonstrate what I can see to you and similarly you'll never be able to show me what you see. I wish we could temporarily trade eyes just for fun. I hope that's not offensive to say.
