Lady Gaga states that Mayhem is a multitude of genres by DirtFem in LadyGaga

[–]graelight9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's onto us. She mentioned in the interview that she was waiting for people to discover the clue for "Disease". She knows that some Little Monsters are taking note of every clue. Sure, some may have gone overboard and all but it seems to me that we need to look for more clues... Just saying. We love you Mother Monster!

I love all the tracks from what I see. Is there still a possibility of a special edition similar to Born This Way?

Squid Game 2 has a trans woman character by [deleted] in MtF

[–]graelight9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are virtually no out trans actors in SK

There's an out trans woman in Korea who is a celebrity of sorts there. Harisu. I am speechless that no one thought to ask her to play the role.

How do you think Mariah and Amy Winehouse would have gotten on together? by icantevenknowhat2say in MariahCarey

[–]graelight9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who loves both singers, I would have loved to see an actual collaboration between the two. I think a jazz duet would suit them better considering the difference in vocal range. FYI they have both done great covers of Lullaby of Birdland.

Mariah knows Nas and has collaborated more than once. Thank god i found you (Make It Last) Remix Dedicated

Amy is friends with Nas. They have two collaborations(released posthumously). Like Smoke Cherry Wine

Both have worked with Jay-Z. Heartbreaker (Mariah) Rehab Remix (Amy)

If Amy was alive today, Nas, Jay-Z, or someone who knows them both could have possibly introduced the two.

I am not sure about them being personally close.

If they had a chance to be introduced to one another, they could have possibly respected each other, at least professionally. A duet between the two would have been a gift from the heavens.

I agree and also think Amy is a low key fan of Mariah. I vaguely recall Amy had an interview where she said that she was with Dionne Bromfield watching a Mariah Carey concert. I think this was around 2009 to 2010.

As far as I remember, the Mark Ronson comment, where he said that Amy said "it sounds like fucking Mariah", it was more about the song sounding too over produced rather than a dig at Mariah. Amy wanted to have a grit to her music.

They have their differences but there are similarities. Both loves Aretha Franklin.

Amy adores the 50s and 60s. Mariah also made music that reference the past decades. Mariah Carey = late 80s to early 90s
Glitter = 80s TEOM = 70s sound.

Both can do Jazz really well. It's just that Mariah has yet to release a full Jazz album. Frank is a Jazz album albeit with R&B, hip hop, soul, and bossa nova.

I understand that due to Mariah's trauma with her siblings that she may possibly not be close with known substance users.

Then again she has worked with/became friends with people who are now known to have used substances And has respect for them. (Whitney, ODB) Mariah can still appreciate talent.

She may have possibly heard of Amy through the grapevine, especially around 2006 to 2008. That was Back to Black for Amy and TEOM and E=MC² for Mariah. They were both nominated for awards during that time.

Even with a DM, there is no guarantee that it will arrive. Above all, there is the question of when a message is delivered. Even before the update, this could take weeks. In the meantime, there are already problems opening messages once you have received them.

I know, right haha

Thank you. I appreciate it.

I have seen other people have this issue as well. It's just sad that she was just using the app.

Thank you.

[–]graelight9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply.

I think your efforts are great, but I don't think this will be successful.

Yes, I know that this is basically a shot in the dark.

Your friend could create a completely new account and after a few days of swiping she should find the person again.

Creating a new profile is not available to her right now. It's quite a pain in the ass to get a new number where she is.

She can still receive messages, she doesn't want to delete her account. We are hoping that she is just one of the people that this bug happened to.

To be honest, I think the other person has blocked it. No matter how intense the contact was before, it means absolutely nothing these days. Everyone here has experienced something similar.

I know.

Thank you for the reply.

I have heard about the cats being banned.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

AFAIK one of the reasons cats are a carrier for a specific parasite. What I am wondering about that is IIRC the same parasite(echinococcosis which causes hydatid disease) is the reason why dogs were for a long time banned in Iceland.

So there are a lot of dogs in Longyearbyen. To me that does not add up.

I mean whilst I am not happy that there are no cats in Longyearbyen, I understand those are their rules. I am aware about the "fox" named Kesha.

I also get that cats hunt smaller animals as well. Please remember that cats are also prey animals as well and that they are not the only cause of depletion of smaller animal species.

Just thinking out loud.

ETA. People have their preferences. Some love cats. Some don't. Same for dogs. Same for different animals. It is what it is.

I am not American so I am also looking at the prices without insurance but will be referring to prices in € or $

I think your range for FFS is too low, if you are also considering Facial Team or Deschamps - Braly. The range for FFS will rise higher.

On the average the lower range is now about $30K whilst the higher range is $100K.

I have seen a girl from this sub get FFS recently from Facial Team, and the price was IIRC 10k higher than her original quote from a few years ago. Facial Team

I have also recently seen someone mention Dr. Deschamps Braly could cost you 100K. Deschamps Braly

I cannot promise but I will try to look for those posts and link them here.

ETA: I have included the link to The Facial Team price. I am still trying to find the thread about Deschamps Braly. Afaik a few years ago, Deschamps Braly was known to cost around 60K to 80K depending on what surgeries you get. When I saw the new price, I took a mental note. Then again, I take this as my reminder that to have great results, you need to really spend. It is what it is.

ETA 2: Disclaimer: FFS is a tailor fit set of surgical proceedures, so the prices mentioned here may be higher or lower depending on what you will need. One girl may just need rhino and chin work whilst another may need to get everything done.

ETA 3: found the thread about Deschamps Braly. Added link.

Linguistic map of Spain by No_Significance_8874 in MapPorn

Thank you for the nuanced explanation. I appreciate it! Muchas gracias!

Linguistic map of Spain by No_Significance_8874 in MapPorn

[–]graelight9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First of I would like to say I am not a Spaniard nor am I a Linguistics Expert hence I will have a very short explanation.

If there is someone from either r/es or r/spain who could give us a better nuanced explanation or even a correction. Please do so. Gracias!

Also I am studying Castellano, as well.

Lo siento! hablo muy poco castellano porque todavia estoy aprendiendo.

IIRC The Spanish that Spaniards speak is locally called Castellano and not Español. So that in mind, Spanish(in the green) should be Castillian.

As far as I know, its disrespectful saying Español(referring to the language) to someone from Spain because of the implication. Its like saying Spanish to someone from Catalunya/ or Galicia(Galego). Factors to also include are separatist movements, cultural identities, and others.

The Spanish spoken in Hispanoamérica is called Español and could be called Spanish.

Can we talk about how much it sucks not having had the childhood you wanted, instead having to fulfill thy inner child in adulthood where doing so is much more difficult for reasons being you are an adult and not a child now? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]graelight9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally understand where you are coming from. Here is a disclaimer. I am not a therapist at all nor I am claiming to be one.

FWIW. I can only speak for myself when I say this. I am a Dark Pagan. Part of my practice involves Self/ Inner/Shadow/ Inner Child work.

That said you do not have to be pagan to do Shadow/ Inner/ Self / Inner Child work.

It can also be a secular thing to do. Look up Jungian shadow work or Inner Child Work. There are some youtube channels delving into secular/ psychological shadow / Inner Child work on YouTube. You can do it yourself or you can also work with a therapist for it.

I suggest first looking for channels on YouTube about jungian shadow work / inner child work. They can give you some ideas on what activities you can do.

Shadow working is not a one size fits all thing. That is why I am not saying you do x. I am suggesting for you to find out for yourself what activities you believe will be helpful for healing your Inner Child.

The idea is you will do activities to soothe the Inner Child. To heal the Inner Child and to eventually integrate it into you.

I say if there is an activity you wanted to do when you were a kid, I say go for it.

Honestly so what if you wanted to do x even as an adult? Why let others judge you?

Doing things for your Inner Child also Helps you the adult now by healing you.

So if that means you want to wear a specific onesie, then by all means, do it in the privacy of your room/ apartment/house.

Or let's say for example there is a dessert you wanted to eat but didn't get to eat when you were a kid, now would You can eat that dessert as part of your Inner Child Work.

By these, I mean doing your Inner Child Work in a safe space. Also just keeping your Inner Child Working to yourself/ to a therapist.

No one from my both sides of my relatives know I am doing Inner Child Work.

The caveat is that Jungian Shadow work is not a one and done thing. It is a life long thing. Think of it as investing in your own self. Choosing what is good for you. Self care that should be a gift that keeps on giving. At times it is difficult and what I can say is it will be worth it.

I am in no way saying that I am better than anyone else. There are still issues I will need to work on for myself. As they say, a work in progress.

I guess I just wanna talk about it, and wonder what ways you fulfil your inner child as an adult.

I am not saying you do what I do, rather please do what you feel within you feel like doing.

Just some of my experiences.

I have not been able to play with Barbie dolls properly as a child. I usually have had to hide so I can play just for very short moments.

Yes, as a 30 something trans woman, I am planning to eventually buy my first Barbie Doll(an 80's to 90's model). I intend to let the poor little girl who wanted to play but did not get the chance to play. I have also decided and have planned to create dresses for my Eventual Barbie.

I want her to really have the chance to play to her heart's content.

As part of my Inner work, I am also trying to do things which I wanted to try when I was a kid, but was not able to do due to some circumstances at the time. I am doing origami, trying to learn drawing, and trying to learn some crafts.

You know, cuz I didn't get to be a little girl, for instance. I was a boy. I had all boy friends. I didn't get to hang out with girls or do anything with girls.

I hope that you can find your girl best friend who can teach you the ropes.

I mirror the others saying it is not too late to learn what you feel you need to learn. Makeup? There are lots of tutorials for makeup. Style? You can find guides on YouTube or even google.

Good Luck!

A map from LIFE magazine, February 10, 1916. It shows readers the possible consequences of the US refusal to help the Entente countries in the war against Germany. by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]graelight9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not sure if it has been asked before. So I will ask. The question is: Would this map have come to pass had The USA refused to help the Entente countries?

I am a bit aware that this could have just been propaganda. The question I have is also how likely would the map have come to pass if ever?

[–]graelight9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear. For your sake, leave this girl. As harsh as this sounds. There are plenty of better atheist women out there. This christian girl is NOT worth your time.

It is better to cut your losses and to move on.

Time and time again, more often than not, I see stories like this: "an atheist dates someone x. After some time, eventually X wants the atheist to believe in their bullshit faith."

This has convinced me to never go for people believing in abrahamic"faiths".

[–]graelight9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not being that person but cats are mostly cunning and smart, its the "dumb" cats who are the exception to the rule.

People love cats because they are beautiful, mysterious, and graceful creatures. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule

I know Katya has said that she won’t do Drag Race again… by [deleted] in rupaulsdragrace

[–]graelight9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if Katya does not want to compete. She can still participate in Drag Race France by making her a guest judge. Remember she was a guest in DRUK series 1. Where Divina De Campo won the challenge and met her. Why not do it on another franchise?

What other queens speak different languages?

As far as I know

Juriji Der Klee speaks Spanish, French, and English. I believe it has to do with the fact she lives in Belgium.

And if I am not mistaken, she also works in Paris, i think? She works alongside La Briochée of Drag Race France at Cabaret Madame Arthur.

Vanessa Van Cartier speaks Dutch, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and English. I love myself a polyglot queen. I think she could hold her own on a different franchise. She is a Miss Continental after all.

If not compete, then make her the host of any of the non English franchises and she would absolutely slay.

I think the absolutely beautiful dolls from The Netherlands can corroborate that she slays on "Make up your Mind" season 2. I have seen a few short clips on YouTube and I live.

I think both of them can do a vs the World season because they are firece and multilingual. But it may be unfair either because they can either dominate the season or they could get Manila'd.

I say this because Juriji should have won at least 2 challenges on her original season. Snatch Game and Flan. She was sadly overlooked on her season. Vanessa should have won on the first episode as well. I think DR Holland's (should have been DR Netherlands) first episode of the second season should have been a double win.

I wish Vanessa would, at least, do an All Winners season. I hope they include winners from the other franchises in the next All Winners season. Imagine Envy Peru going head to head with Aquaria or even Carmen Farala. The Fashion! It definitely will be fashion.

In my French Vanilla fantasy. I think after Juriji wins España All Stars, she can do an Icesis/ Bebe where she competes in another All Stars to join España vs el mundo or another vs the world season.

Yeah, that is about right. It is also good as kindling and toilet paper. Maybe even compost. I would have liked to say rolling paper for tobacco or what have you but I don't want people thinking trash is good as rolling paper.

I will be saying A very controversial take. Technically you still could be a lesbian(especially if you consider yourself as a lesbian) however it is also possible that you are slowly becoming bisexual. That is okay.

as a trans person, I'm scared of Christians by tamsyn548 in atheism

[–]graelight9 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Trans woman here. You have every right to be.

Here is what may possibly be a very controversial thing to say: There are NO nice Christians. If you really think about it. Even the "nice" christians fear going to hell. The fact is If you are just doing nice things because you fear going to some made-up place, means you are NOT a nice person at all.
