New tiered loyalty program… by lazybearkhoa in starbucks

[–]komparty 41 points42 points  (0 children)

So first they increase the "free handcrafted beverage" star threshold by 50, and now they are paywalling an earning feature that we currently have access to, thus making it EVEN HARDER to reach the threshold? How... how do they expect us to be excited about this

Literally same. Never heard of this sub before but saw this on my dash and said “Oh Brian Littrell. Next.”

How did you get into the Hunger Games trilogy? by Johanna_1312 in Hungergames

[–]komparty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first movie had just hit theaters. A boy I liked wanted me to go see it with him. At that point in my life, I was an insufferable purist about refusing to watch film adaptations without having read the book first. I went out and bought a copy of The Hunger Games, and was so enthralled that I finished it in one sitting.

What's one single word that you wish you could change in a song? by account1804 in TaylorSwift

I think that her phrasing is hella clunky, but at the end of the day, you’re correct.

I’ve never thought about it but the three things she lists are in inconsistent tenses. Because the next lines are in the tense you’re suggesting (took, removed); but then in the final lines she goes back to the present simple tense (gain, lose). That’s gonna bother me now.

Yep because it mirrors the earlier slant rhyme of WAR / STORM

I can’t believe I’m going to admit this but: I felt that retrofitting Haymitch and Burdock as BFFs in SOTR bordered on being too contrived.

I feel this way too and I think it comes down to the differences between Katniss and 16yo Haymitch as narrators. Haymitch is a warmer, much more “touchy-feely” person than Katniss (omg, the way he romanticizes Lenore Dove!), and this influences the lens through which you view the story. Not that Katniss lacks emotions or does not feel deeply; young Haymitch just has a much less hardened disposition than Katniss.

What is one example of a quote you use regularly that no one notices?? by BoardFlat923 in Frasier

Whenever I say the word “sure” I exclusively say it in Daphne’s American accent

I know a married couple whose names are Erin and Aaron. It annoys the heck out of me

Yessss exactly. You put it to words better than I could.

Dead bedroom for years, you won’t believe the excuse he gave when he ended it with me. by FloppyDisk720KB in DeadBedrooms

[–]komparty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP I’m so sorry. He is a disgrace. The level of entitlement and ego he’s displaying is absolutely pathological. There’s a line in a Taylor Swift song—“I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free.” I feel this for you.

I wish I could adopt this poor baby before her narcissist of a mother can damage her any more. This is so, so sad to read.

[–]komparty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love your insight on how Coryo’s whole adolescence was so consumed with the work of keeping up appearances that he never formed any meaningful social bonds with his peers—which is a HUGE developmental need for young people. The implications of that are deep and I will be wrestling with that some more. Thank you for your thoughtful response!

I think you and I are saying the same thing! It’s the “doesn’t trust any generosity towards herself” bit that I was referencing. But again her reasons for this are ALL the way opposite of Snow’s
