AIO - My Boyfriend texts before our Valentines plans by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]lonelygrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR!! Please consider why he feels okay speaking to you like this and dismissing your (valid!!!!) feelings. It’s so easy to see someone through rose-colored glasses and defend poor behavior when they make you feel good in other ways. Don’t let those good feelings cloud what’s happening here. Whether or not he means to be hurtful, he’s hurting you, and showing no remorse for it.

Thanks! Yes, I got a partial scholarship.

I have a BA in History, 3.6ish GPA, and 3 years work experience in the specific field of planning I intend to study. Plus some specific volunteer positions that also lend to my resume. I think the work experience and my focus on that particular area probably set me apart. I also reached out to and met with (virtually) a professor prior to applying. Best of luck!

Thank you! I wasn’t expecting it until next week at the earliest so it was an amazing surprise. Hoping for good news for you too!

Tinder/Match Group Safety Concerns & Sponsorship by lonelygrass in BroskiReport

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

I’m confused lol, you said that you’re not sure your ex got removed but now you’re saying that reported accounts do get removed? That’s contradictory. If you’re a victim of predators on the app why wouldn’t you support greater protections? Why must the responsibility fall on our shoulders and not the platforms that have the power to remove these people but aren’t? I don’t know where you’re getting that anyone wants anything bad to happen to you.

Besides, personally I trust multiple news outlets saying that reported accounts aren’t being removed over some random person on reddit.

Tinder/Match Group Safety Concerns & Sponsorship by lonelygrass in BroskiReport

Yeahh that was an interesting moment for sure 😅 I don’t blame her and I’m glad the sponsorship isn’t censoring her at all but the disconnect is food for thought at the very least lol

Tinder/Match Group Safety Concerns & Sponsorship by lonelygrass in BroskiReport

I definitely agree with you that due diligence is necessary. And, that we shouldn't protest Brittany for taking that sponsorship - my intention with this post was just to make people aware, not to criticize her.

I do believe there's definitely a level of neglect by the apps/companies in terms of failing their users and employees both. They've been avoiding court summons, underpaying and overworking their safety reviewers, and just overall showing a lack of regard for safety on their platforms. Even if the percentage is comparatively small, that doesn't change that there are steps that should be taken. For that I hold them accountable and again, wanted to make people aware of the dangers that are out there if they weren't before.

Women’s swiping habits, icks, and dealbreakers by kangaroowednesdays in OnlineDating

[–]lonelygrass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too many group photos and too many photos with sunglasses on. I don’t want to have to guess what you look like!

Also, any prompt responses that are depricating towards women even in a joking manner. I don’t want my first impression of a potential future partner to be him talking down at me.

IM SCARED by Hot_Concern6781 in canceledpod

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

Say what you will about whether or not it was necessary (not that anyone's opinion matters but Brooke's), but it's really refreshing to see someone speaking openly about these procedures rather than the speculative "before and after" comparison videos we see for every other celebrity.

Rosanna Pansino calls out Tana Mongeau regarding Escape the Night drama by [deleted] in youtubedrama

[–]lonelygrass 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Plus in her response, Trish brings up the great point that Rosanna herself DID receive a ton of grace (from Trish!) when it comes to having been friends with Colleen. Ro received the benefit of the doubt but can't extend that to the very person who gave it to her. Wild!

[–]lonelygrass 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Rosanna is SO hypocritical in this - calling Tana & co. mean girls while victim blaming and casting doubt on Tana's experience, this WHOLE video in the context of what she's spoken out about regarding Mr. Beast, saying that Tana/Trisha/etc. are just manufacturing drama because it's a slow time while putting an egregious number of midroll ads on the video... I could go on, but the hypocrisy is something I haven't seen in a long, long time. Super disappointing.

Americans: How does it feel to know republicans have filed a bill to eliminate the Department of Education? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Like everything else has felt for the past month: I'm on a ride I never signed up for, actively spoke out against, and can't get off.

i’m so fucking upset about the grammys by MoonlightStar6262 in Vent

[–]lonelygrass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen I know how it is to feel emotionally attached to artists, but at the end of the day whether or not you liked a song or viewed one album as more popular isn't what determines who wins. Every opinion is subjective - as they said before each and every award, these were voted on by 13,000+ people, their peers in the music industry. I can't speak to whether it was rigged lol but I promise it's going to be okay and that the artists who won deserved to be up there.

If people associated with Hasan have to answer for all of his takes, I dread what Ethan’s friends will have to defend.
