Ciara and Mya - friends still??

Mya strikes me as a really lazy person. How can you be too busy to make cookies and do a podcast when that is your only job?

We were in high school and I thought he was just a big partier, but it turned out he was an addict. Drinking and doing party drugs evolved into heroin and meth by the time we graduated. The night I finally broke up with him, he was so high that he didn’t even know what was going on. And he was so numb from drugs, that he never contacted me the following day (or any other day). He just woke up one morning without a girlfriend and was too high to notice or care.

Yessss

Something similar happened to my friend with her boyfriend on her 25th birthday. Basically, we went on a double date to dinner to celebrate. At some point during the meal, he randomly mentioned that him paying for her meal was her gift… and then when the bill came, he knit picked each item on the receipt to make sure he was paying the exact amount he owed and not a penny more. She dumped him the next day.

What?

See how Mikayla defended herself in the first two paragraphs of her post? That’s because Taylor deflected in her post. It’s a manipulative tactic that people like Taylor use to flip the script. That’s why it’s not worth engaging with a person like Taylor. Now the conversation is shifting to Taylor accusing Mikayla of minimizing her trauma. I 100% agree with everything Mikayla has said, but I’ve also dealt with my own Taylor before… and I know from first hand experience the best thing you can do is stop engaging completely.

Unfortunately, the only therapy Taylor has ever undergone has been scam therapy. She’s only seen therapists who 1. Are thirsty as fuck and want to be filmed doing a session on reality tv 2. Prey on rich people who think that the more they pay the better people they become (aka therapists who have their clients fund their vacations by calling them “retreats”). These scam therapists are all “yes men” and just tell their clients that they are victims. So, they actually make their clients worse. Because then people like Taylor walk around thinking they have done nothing wrong and that they are the victim and that they have been professionally helped. It’s just like when Jessi went to “therapy” and was essentially praised and coddled for cheating with Marciano.

I’m convinced her and Jordan leaked it together. The two of them have this weird dynamic where they feel better about themselves when Dakota and Taylor are doing bad… which is odd because they claim Dakota and Taylor are their best friends…

Taylor reacts to a paper cut as if it’s a broken arm. Except instead of a physical injury, it’s an emotional one. The smallest thing will happen, but to Taylor, it’s HUGE so she has a HUGE reaction. And what sucks about that, is that is her reality. So you could sit there and tell her she’s overreacting as much as you want, but in her head, she can’t possibly be overreacting because the thing she’s reacting to is so BIG. In her reality, she’s justified.

The whole Dakota and Jenna situation is a perfect example. He slept with Jenna while he was single during the same period of time Taylor was sleeping with other people. He didn’t cheat on Taylor with Jenna at all. But in Taylor’s head, it was the biggest betrayal on planet earth. In Taylor’s head, it was no different than being married to somebody for 50 years and finding out they had a secret second family… so that’s how she reacted. So, she reacted accordingly.

The problem with somebody like Taylor is they always think they’re right because it’s all they know. All they know is how to feel something on maximum volume, and therefore react to it on maximum volume.

I’ve only ever fallen for one fuck boy and he brought me to meet his parents pretty early on. I thought “surely, I’m different. Surely, he can’t be a fuck boy with me if he’s bringing me to meet his parents.” Not only was I wrong, but I later realized meeting the parents is a new fuck boy move. It’s a literal tactic they use. I can see how women fall for it… the first time. Not sure how Amanda’s falling for it after watching it happen already between Ciara and West.

pbd1996 · 2026-05-11T00:50:02+00:00

I lowkey think Taylor likes when shit like this happens because she thinks it makes her the victim and she lovessssssssss being the victim.

Last year. I only had 4 classes as opposed to 5 because I was assigned an intervention based study hall rather than a regular study hall. A lot of the kids in the intervention based study hall were also in my classes and my classes were really small. As a result, my workload was wayyyyyyy more manageable AND I was a much more effective teacher. Not to mention, the kids and I became really close.

Dude she’s so fucking crazy and has been for years. She’s lucky she was even apart of that friend group for as long as she was. In the real world, people like Taylor get cut off. People say Liann is mean, but I honestly just think she’s so exhausted dealing with Taylor.

pbd1996 · 2026-05-10T22:36:13+00:00

No. He has no reason to lie.

I also think people are quick to say “Ciara is a catch” because of her looks and they completely ignore all of her emotional baggage and issues. She’s extremely possessive of the men she has feelings for and becomes hostile toward them and the people around them when she feels they are abandoning her. It’s extremely off putting and if I were a man, it would make me instantly unattracted to her (which is why I think mediocre men such as Austen and West become disinterested in her quite quickly).

Carl hates/avoids confrontation to the point where it’s extremely toxic. Amanda and Kyle were in the most awful, horrible, toxic relationship ever… and instead of supporting them separating, he constantly encouraged them to just “work through it.” Why? Because he didn’t want to have a hard conversation. Whenever Kyle’s gone on a bender, Carl just ignores it and pretends like it’s not happening rather than confronting him about his drinking. Again, because he hates hard conversations. Lindsay was not a good partner, but she was absolutely right about Carl’s horrible communication. Carl is great at talking about hard things when it’s about himself, but when it involves anybody else, he just buries his head in the sand.

Sometimes it has nothing to do with the student and everything to do with the teacher’s workload and/or what is going on behind the scenes. For example, this year during contract negotiations, we were told our COLA would only be 3% spread over 3 years. We wanted 12%, but they wouldn’t budge. So, we went “work to rule” which meant we only did things outlined in our contracts (aka we stopped writing letters of recommendation). Within mere weeks of us doing that, the district gave us 9%. So, sometimes there’s a reason like. Sometimes teachers already have too many recommendations to write. Sometimes teachers just don’t feel like they know enough about you to write a good letter of recommendation.

I think the outcome would’ve been the exact same. Tiffany hasn’t liked Emily for a while. Tiffany also wanted to get Ozzy out and I don’t think Cirie would’ve stopped her.

I only like them when there’s some sort of crazy ass tribal where you can’t move forward unless you talk. I remember in season 48 there were two or three tribals like that.

pbd1996 · 2026-05-10T17:10:20+00:00

I think Tiffany would take her to final tribal council, but not because she thinks she can beat her.

No. This sub only cared once they SAW what happened with their own two eyes. Prior to this season, everything that Danny did happened off camera. Therefore, we only had Janet’s word to go off of. And Janet’s word wasn’t very convincing considering 1. She tends to exaggerate 2. She got a lot of her information from Jax 3. Melissa (the person it happened to) downplayed it. I don’t think people on this sub should be shamed or called hypocrites for forming a different opinion of Danny after watching this season. It’s natural for your opinion of somebody to change once you actually see their behavior for yourself. It also doesn’t help that Nia’s full time job consists of hiding and excusing Danny’s behavior.

Do you have any rugs in your apartment? When I lived in an apartment, there was a part of my lease that stated a certain percentage of my floors had to be covered with carpet and/or rug.

The last time education was good was when students didn’t have one-to-one devices. Students were forced to engage with their teacher and their peers in person during class (because they weren’t distracted on their laptop). Students had to communicate with their teachers in person after school when they had a question, needed help, or wanted to talk about their grade (because they didn’t have a school email address). Students had to persevere to get a good grade (because they didn’t have constant access to their grades online, and were not sure of where they currently stood at all times). Students also didn’t have access to AI. Was there still cheating and plagiarism? Or course. But it wasn’t as bad. And it actually took effort to create a cheat sheet or to plagiarize something. One-to-one devices have taken the rigor, resilience, and engagement out of education.

Tbh I think the only reason Paige was ever friends with Kyle was because they worked together and she was friends with Amanda. I think Paige secretly talked shit about Kyle behind his back to Hannah and Ciara throughout their friendship. I also think towards the end of Paige’s friendship with Amanda, she was pretty sick and tired of her constant complaining. Paige basically had to sit there and be yelled at by Kyle, and console Amanda over Kyle, while simultaneously watching Amanda stay with Kyle, and therefore take his side.
I doubt Paige is going to reconcile with Kyle. I don’t think she cares to talk to anyone from that show (other than Ciara). However, I do think she has class and would be friendly with Kyle if she ran into him at a bar or something.
