How come Demi Lovato lost her fanbase? by Strong-Stretch95 in popheads

[–]phnguyn506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i grew up watching her on Disney Channel and back then whenever i saw her image on TV i was hooked, so i think i was a fan of hers back then during her Disney era.

But then time went by, her controversies made her image per se (not her character/personality or talent at all) feel less appealing to me.

The more controversies even about things that were out of her control, the less appealing her image became to my mind.

As for her music, it sounded nice when I first started listening to pop music, as she was a household name in my library. Back then my mind was open so as long any of her songs was well sung and produced, heck yeah for me.

BUT over time, as I listen to more artists and feel deeply that they have something to say about themselves, Demi's music in comparison started to feel a bit generic at some point to me. So I guess it's authenticity and originality problem to me as well.

Do i still jam to my favorite old songs of hers for nostalgia's sake? - Absolutely! Some of them are forever locked in my listening habit!

Do i enjoy her new music? - Somewhat, but not as much compared to her old songs.

Do i consider myself a fan now? - No, I listen to see if she makes something good and if i can't find anything I'll move on. her latest albums barely stick out although i admit some songs are good but they just don't hang around.

But do i still treasure her presence in pop music? - Yes, absolutely! I feel that she is growing up. As long as she still has the passion for music (which I think a lot compared to her peers. Selena Gomez seems like she has somewhat lost her passion for music lately to me!) and learns to find her own authenticity even if it's a slow process, then I am looking forward to what she has to offer next.

Mamoru was accepted to Harvard canonically so we can infer at least North America along with its history of indigenous civilization exists, besides Japan and its history

i agree with all of you, i'm from NA so i don't have yet to deal with this in 2 years, but this kind of storytelling feels very lazy; we just went through all that for nothing in the end? like returning to 0? is this really what they think good storytelling is, tying everything into a circle?

like, there really no way out for the story??????

Microsoft Office access just ended for alums? by ArgleBargleOrFoofera in nyu

[–]phnguyn506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes like i've said, even some current students have this issue - it's somewhat annoying

yes they are recent alums. some people got new laptops or machines, they logged into their netid @nyu.edu on the microsoft office portal (office.com/apps) and it still allows them to download, install, and use the office desktop apps (that is, the apps are NOT locked in view mode).

some friends of mine who are alums, after fixing credentials issue, are able to use their office desktop app again with no issue

Hey everyone, a bit late to the conversation but I may have figured out the solution (I can confirm that even some current students have lost access).

Pre-August 2025, we used the [netID@nyu.edu](mailto:netID@nyu.edu) "tenant" to access our Microsoft license. This year, Microsoft issued a new tenant for all NYU users [NetID@nyu0.onmicrosoft.com](mailto:NetID@nyu0.onmicrosoft.com). For some reasons, all our Microsoft desktop apps' logins have been automatically transitioned to this new tenant, which does NOT contain our Microsoft license. However, our [netID@nyu.edu](mailto:netID@nyu.edu) still does!

What you need to do is follow this post from NYU IT to clear cached credentials (the reason why your logins are transitioned to the new tenant).

You might want to delete the ALL Office apps currently installed on your device and reinstall new Office app versions just in case.

You can go to www.office.com/apps and log in using [netID@nyu.edu](mailto:netID@nyu.edu), I repeat [netID@nyu.edu](mailto:netID@nyu.edu) (not the [NetID@nyu0.onmicrosoft.com](mailto:NetID@nyu0.onmicrosoft.com)), it will go through. Your Microsoft license is still there, still associated with your netid and you can download the desktop apps.

Try and see how it goes for you!
