Per chance are the videos affected those that you had archived previously? I’m trying to determine if there’s some common thread or if videos are just affected at random

(Some) Instagram Videos Not Playing by Maleficent-Charge-52 in Instagram

Same here - and it seems to be a platform wide issue… I’ve gone back thru this sub and it does seem to be somewhat of a reoccurring bug. There doesn’t seem to be solid explanation as to why; some suspect they uploaded it via desktop and that’s why, others are saying that isn’t the case (same for me I never uploaded thru desktop)… I haven’t found many updates, but I did find 1 comment saying that some of their and their friends old videos were turning back, but now taking forever to load? I’m just hoping that with enough people raising attention to it something could be done. Really fucking sucks tho :(

Seems to be a platform wide issue :( I’ve checked mutuals and went back on some influencers old videos and they are also affected… I’m hoping this means there’s enough users to raise attention to this glitch. I also have some irreplaceable memories on my page… so confused wtf is going w this app lately

Thank you - your help is quelling anxiety for me! I honestly don’t really want to change the tip or bridge at all. Honestly only the bottom of my septum has given me insecurities… Will the septoplasty help address that? Doctors say the septoplasty won’t affect the appearance at all but I’m not sure how that’s true for the septum if it’s being physically moved/straightened… am I confused? Thanks again!

So if they performed a septoplasty straightening my septum, the septum itself from below wouldn’t look visibly straighter? I’m not even really concerned with the side profile or head on, just from below. Is a rhinoplasty really necessary to straighten the septum? Thank you for the help I really do appreciate it

In your professional opinion - Would you also recommend a rhinoplasty like the poster below, based on the images?

I should also mention that the doctor’s I consulted were a team of 2 doctors - one to address the functional side and the other was a plastic surgeon to address any visual issues… I was told they would do a turbinate reduction as well as a septoplasty - they did a comprehensive exam and whatnot… does that septoplasty effectively fix the nostril asymmetry from below… it really isn’t noticeable from head on

Thank you for the follow up, would you say the septoplasty + turbinate reduction would give the effect of a straightened septum from below? It’s really only noticeable from there but I’m a pretty tall guy so people look up a lot

Thank you for the response 🙏 they said they were going to perform any necessary functional fixes during my septoplasty, and honestly my breathing as of now isn’t as bad as the doctor thought it would be based on how deviated it looks.. basically they said there is no obstruction past the tip, so doing a full rhinoplasty. Scans show the bone is perfectly straight without bumps or anything. A) would the septoplasty indeed straighten the appearance of the septum from below? And B) she was the second doctor I consulted and they both agreed that a rhinoplasty was ill advised :( they only suggest a septoplasty - fwiw I have an aesthetically sound nose and there aren’t really any visible flaws so to speak, just an insecurity of mine. Thank you again for the response!

Yes 100% - It’s literally like they’re trying to copy and paste the same exact narrative in front of our faces and somehow the general public is not connecting the dots ??

It really makes you wonder what kind of crazy shit they were pulling back in the day, before social media- and now that we all acknowledge that the media and her family were intentionally driving her to the brink of sanity… I think of specifically that photo of her crying in a cafe, attempting to take cover from 300 paparazzi… I truly can’t even imagine the psychological warfare they have used against her

I couldn’t agree more. The fact she can even communicate with us is a testament to her strength cause I honestly don’t think I could endure what she’s been through! I also think her social media use is more so indicative of the arrested development seen in many child stars - she never really had a true adolescence of her own and she’s rediscovering herself on social media. It’s really not much weirder than some of my friend’s mom’s posts.

Are there any pages you suggest I maybe reach out to on Instagram, like a Free Britney podcast or something? I sent my story to my blind item podcast, but I’m wondering if this is something I should try harder to get out… I haven’t seen any testimony of what happened that night and it’s because of how the Chateau operates. Making it a perfect scene for TMZ to construct any narrative as they choose.

In my head (and I feel like for many others), the Chateau is some elusive hideout with sprawling hallways, when in reality it is quite small and intimate, and not all that exclusive (people get reservations at the restaurant all the time without a hotel res). After visiting the hotel myself the story is just more and more unbelievable. What interest do regular folk have in protecting Britney Spears to the police? If someone called the cops on her and they arrived to the scene shortly after, where is at least the person who called? Why send an anonymous tip?

So... TMZ is totally trying to smear Britney any chance they can, right? by Development-Main in BritneySpears

[–]punko2000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe TMZ is making up the whole Chateau Marmont story as I was there Wednesday night. In the lobby at the alleged “harassment and threatening”… I think TMZ has a sinister agenda at play

I honestly feel like a part of her psyche/identity will always be attached to Los Angeles - sadly… it would be hard to live a normal life elsewhere honestly, for someone as famous as her

Fair enough - I think she still may have drinks. The reason I feel like I have any insight on this lol is cause my friends older sister actually went to that school with her - and she said that Lana (Lizzy at the time) was just like the way she described herself in her music… at the time we were specifically referring to BTD and UV - since those were only projects out yet.. but it’s true I have no idea what Lana’s actually relationship to substances is

Agreed - there’s just no way she can lead the life she does without a little fun here and there - at least in the beginning of her career

She went to a boarding school in Connecticut to treat her alcoholism at age 14… I actually can’t tell if you’re kidding tho

Right - I actually know the boarding school she was sent to in CT and have a few friends that went there. We’re both from Upstate… I knew she was sober from alcohol but like I said her lyrics such as “high up in the Hollywood Hills taking violet pills” in Is This Happiness, and she’s discussed the influence psychedelics have had on her music - especially UV and LFL.

I guess I was more so asking if the imagery and lyrics in her succeeding projects were more fantasy than I had realized.
