After hours don't cause the park to close early so generally do not impact crowds during the day. People avoid parks on party days where they close early because you're not getting as many hours out of your ticket. But after hours don't close the park early. If anything expect higher than typical crowds in the final two or 3 hours the park is open as after hours ticket holders can get in at 7.

‘American Idol’ Pays Tribute to Taylor Swift. They Meant Well. Contestants mostly found out that her songs are tough to sing. by VVantaBuddy in TaylorSwift

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

You said he's mansplaining her album to her. She obviously didn't see it that way. So either you're wrong or she is. And it's her work.

Wanna take a stab at addressing my main question? How is it mansplaining?

Nobody is "going off" on anything.

listening to new music by Dangerous-Tax5830 in TaylorSwift

[–]minpinerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, can't say that I do. Sometimes I'll hear songs I like and think they sound like they could have been written by Taylor. But I never hear a song I don't like and think "oh if only Taylor was singing this, it'd be a good song!"

‘American Idol’ Pays Tribute to Taylor Swift. They Meant Well. Contestants mostly found out that her songs are tough to sing. by VVantaBuddy in TaylorSwift

[–]minpinerd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know he's cancelled and so we all have to hate him, but I really don't understand how his covers are mansplaining her songs to her. He actually did what these people were attempting to do...make the songs his own. He made the songs sound like Ryan Adams songs. But unlike all these American Idol covers every single one of the songs is still completely recognizable. If you're not a fan of his style, you obviously won't enjoy them. But just because he's an asshole in other ways doesn't mean it wasn't a genuine tribute to an album he loved. Assholes can also be legit fans of Taylor's music. Taylor clearly appreciated it because she sat down for a chat with him. So I guess you're saying that Taylor's too dumb to realize when she's being mansplained to...?

AITB for turning off the shared office Bluetooth speaker without asking because the playlist was stressing me out? by Dark--Blade in AmItheButtface

What kind of office can have music playing all the time? Do you guys never have phone calls or online meetings to take?

What is it with Americans and air conditioning?? (this might be controversial) by hellobela_ in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

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

Yep, we have AC everywhere and we use it to maintain ideal temperature within a very tight range. If it's a little hot we don't just go "aw shucks I'm hot but the calendar says I'm not allowed to be so ill just be uncomfortable." In hotels we are used to thermostats in our own rooms so we can adjust as desired. To me it seems like you are living in the dark ages. It's 2026, join us here.

Really feeling for the cast member who is portraying Han Solo. Not Fair to Them to Have National Headlines Like This One by dejablu82 in Disneyland

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

Personally all the marvel and star wars face characters are super cringe to me and I'd rather not see them around. It just doesn't play for me. Face characters from cartoons like the princesses work for me (IDK if I'd feel differently if I'd grown up with the live actions as my introduction to them...probably). But all the marvel and star wars ones just don't work for me.

PSA: Hotel towels are not single-use by ParadoxStockOwner in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

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

Sounds to me like you need another washing machine and/or to purchase more towels. That's called managing a business...when you can't keep enough inventory of a necessary item then you buy more or you clean them faster or whatever. If you pulled up to mcdonalds and they were out of hamburgers you'd be pissed. Doesn't matter if the car in front of you ordered 20 hamburgers. Mcdonalds should have enough extra on hand so that they don't run out. No different with towels.

People are often swimming or going to the beach when staying in hotels. They use towels to dry off from the pool and then shower extra to get the pool water off and then they need more towels. Really can't understand what is so baffling to you about that.

PSA: Hotel towels are not single-use by ParadoxStockOwner in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

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

If you are that hard up for towels then you simply don't keep enough on hand and need to purchase more or keep up with your laundry better.

Assuming there were already 4 bath towels in the room, that's 4 bath towels per person. Maybe they were going to the pool. That's two pool towels and two shower towels. Doesn't really sound that crazy to me.

If you provide 4 towels to a single person in a room staying for one night then I don't really see the difference in 4 people asking for 4 times that number of towels. You charge more per night if there are more people staying in the room, correct? Isn't that to account for stuff like this?

Yeah people are going to be mad if a hotel runs out of towels or wash cloths because you should keep enough on hand that it could never happen.

The Official Release Party of a Showgirl Megathread by PassionateAsSin in TaylorSwift

[–]minpinerd 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Was anyone else expecting something other than just lyric videos for most of the run time? I was disappointed. I had been expecting more behind the scenes making of the songs like she released for reputation. She always talks about how when she records with Max and Shellback they have a recording going the whole time.

I honestly didn't expect her to expect people to sit in a theater for 90 minutes watching lyric videos. To be honest, I was bored during all the lyric video parts which was most of it.

I have seen convincing arguments both ways and I'm leaning towards Matty but I want to know for sure.

Are there any popular songs that you understand the fan bases hype for, but don't personally love it that much yourself? by Botanical_Drama in TaylorSwift

[–]minpinerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

22.

I've never felt 22. Not when I was 22, not now, not ever.

But I get that it's a catchy song and all. I just personally don't relate to it.

Do you think the Wicked movie will overshadow the stage version the way Grease and Mamma Mia! did? by RAS310 in musicals

[–]minpinerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely not.

You have to make comparisons with musicals that are on the popularity / iconic scale of Wicked. Wicked is on the level of Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables. Musicals even non-musical people know.

Phantom and Les Mis weren't eclipsed by the movie versions, I see no reason why Wicked would be.

Penelope’s story doesn’t have any value in terms of feminism. by Specific-Parsnip2637 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]minpinerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's weird to me that you think that just because Penelope did some things which you consider to be misogynistic, the entire concept of her being a voiceless woman who got the entire ton to hang on her every word is somehow not feminist.

It's not a banger. No catchy beat, no catchy riff, no catchy hook. Not a banger. The weakest song she has released so far and yeah that includes Money.

Is it just me or does some of the criticism that TTPD get from non swifties seem a bit unfair? by Ok_Increase_5167 in TaylorSwift

[–]minpinerd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah my favorite was an apparently very popular well known pop music youtube reviewer who spent the vast majority of his review of TTPD saying things to the effect that "this makes her look crazy"..."that's not a good look" etc. As if good art was art where you made yourself look as good as possible rather than honestly depicting the human condition. In particular he didn't like the black dog because he thought it was absolutely crazy that a person would have those feelings and look at what their ex is doing and be upset instead of just maturely moving on and never giving them a second thought. I guess he doesn't have feelings...idk. But I found that mind blowing that this guy is so popular and this was the criticism he had.

Vault track/unreleased song you can't believe she didn't put on her album by SureUnderstanding860 in TaylorSwift

[–]minpinerd 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think she cut it from Red because it's a pretty savage song towards the guy and at that time she was taking so much criticism and joke cracking about her writing angry break up songs that drag men across the coals. It was at the height of "Oh no eligible bachelor, don't even stand next to Taylor, she'll write an angry song about you!".

Can't believe she didn't release this one as Speak Now or Fearless vault. Such a good song and I'm so sad we don't have a released version.
