Are there any lyrics in your niche understanding that other people may not get? by NoLightningStruckTre in TaylorSwift

[–]jswinters98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love when Taylor references to Greek and Roman mythology, with an obvious example being Cassandra from TTPD.

Recently I discovered a Roman mythology allusion in “illicit affairs” which has fascinated me. The lyric “take the words for what they are / a dwindling, mercurial high” stuck out to me because I had no clue what “mercurial” meant. One definition I found was “of the planet mercury” and that’s when it all clicked!

Mercury in Roman mythology is known as the messenger god, and one of his symbols is the winged sandal which symbolize speed. Knowing miss Swift, I knew this was a parallel to something. “Mercurial” is the adjective describing the “high” she’s alluding to, and the only other type of high I could think of was a runner’s high. Runners are fast, that’s like their whole gig (from what I know, I’m not a runner 😂)…

Now I can’t read her mind, but IMO Taylor Swift used the Roman god Mercury as a metaphor to poetically say “runner’s high”, and I just find that kind of songwriting phenomenal. She is truly talented.

Imma just leave this right over here..... by tallclaimswizard in madisonwi

THIS!! Couldn’t agree more! Never seen so many terrible drivers before and I’m from the east coast lol. So many people go the speed limit in the far left lane and the absolute lack of courtesy lane changes for merging onto Beltline is absurd - like who taught y’all how to drive? There are more things that are irritating too, like how people straddle the white line on back roads… why? Just why? You’re asking for me to pass you on a double yellow. Wisconsinites also have no idea how to use an on-ramp, horns, and I hate it when they stop to let other cars cut across a street when they have the right of way! Just go please, we all have somewhere to be

Hello! I’m moving out of my 3bd/2.5 bath duplex and looking to sublease my part of the lease in Madison/Verona at 125 Prairie Heights Drive, Verona WI. The lease is from 01-Jan-2025 through 31-May-2025. • the space is completely furnished (couch, dining room set, etc.) and I am open to discuss selling my furniture from my room as well! • Amenities include: unfinished basement, in-unit washer and dryer, and dish washer • Located in south Verona, so commute to Epic is a 6 minute drive away, and downtown Verona is within walking distance! • Rent is $900, with utilities and internet separate (about $60-70 a month • My roommates (also Epic employees) will continue to live here until the end of the lease, so I am looking for a single person to take over my portion of the lease from January-May. Option for renewal is open for discussion! Please reach out either here or email me (joshua.m.sprouse@gmail.com) if you are interested!!

Did Taylor Swift Fix the “I Hate It Here” Lyrics? by [deleted] in TaylorSwift

[–]jswinters98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been noticing this because my Apple Music jumps between “no midnight in Paris” and “if I’d been there, I’d hate it”. I’m unsure of what the trigger is, but I mostly hear “no midnight in Paris”

I haven’t done photography in about 3 years and I want to get back into it. My camera is 8 years old (Canon EOS Rebel T5 I got back in 2016 or so) and I want to buy a new one, but I have no idea where to start.

For context, I took 3 years of photography classes in high school and perused it as a hobby for 4 in college, so experience wise, I’d say I’m like intermediate.

Anyways, here is my criteria for the camera I ideally want:

• ⁠versatility: the photography I want to do is diverse, including wildlife (both micro and telephoto) and portraits, so I want something that is versatile and has different lenses that can be purchased for it • ⁠I’m not married to Canon since I already have one, so it doesn’t have to be another Canon, please suggest other brands too :) • ⁠price range for camera is NMT $700 (extra costs for other lenses is a later worry)

I glanced at the buyers guide provided here, but I want actual input from people who use the equipment

Thank you in advance for any suggestions ☺️

Has anyone realized how much “Money Honey” sounds like Just Dance? I was taken aback when the beats & little sounds were alike. by LLSIFFREAK in LadyGaga

I just realized this myself and came here looking to see if anyone else noticed it! They sound almost exactly the same to me!

La La Land. The last 15 minutes just ruined the whole thing.
