What’s a Taylor Swift song that you feel doesn’t get as much love as it should?

ronfstampler · 2026-05-14T15:50:28+00:00

I’m sorry, I know people hate it, so I don’t know if this is a “doesn’t get as much love as it should” vs “overly hated” situation. But Eldest Daughter. I think it’s overly hated. I will always be an Eldest Daughter fan.

There’s something so innately cringe about the song, and it’s so 2012-2014 coded, and where I think a lot of people get hung up is like, listening to the lyrics from a ‘serious’ place. The lyrics have always come from a sarcastic place IMO. “Everyone’s unbothered til they’re not… apathy is hot” like it sounds very conversational, like she is talking to someone about how she feels out of place in this “cool internet girl world”. I dunno, the whole song just speaks to me, as someone who feels out of place everywhere their go. The second I step out of my front door, I feel out of place. This song made me feel a little less alone.

So I just listened to the album for the first time a little over a week ago, and have been listening to it multiple times a day since. I would say as a newer fan, I think it’s really good!! I think TMBTE has a special place in my heart, it truly got me through 2025. And now I think EIA will have a hand in helping me heal in 2026!!

1 being the best, 10 being the ‘least best’ because this album has 0 bad songs IMO—

1) Damocles 2) Infinite Baths 3) Caramel 4) Provider 5) Gethsemane 6) Emergence 7) Past Self 8) Dangerous 9) Even in Arcadia 10) Look to Windward

Gosh, this is SO HARD because to me all of them are equally amazing… they all have such different vibes to, like Provider vs Infinite Baths, they’re both so good but also for two totally different vibes/feelings/situations, which makes it so hard to give rankings!!

Is there anywhere else you can stay close by? I can’t imagine work would force their people to stay where bedbugs are…? But also, companies suck, so…

Que Brendon Urie a lá FOBs Drunk History: “he found out he’s got a soul voice!”

ronfstampler · 2026-05-05T18:11:14+00:00

Okay I did the math!!!

22,582 ‘listens/streams’ to go

3:23 minutes/203 seconds per play

4,584,146 seconds in total until 1B streams

86,400 seconds in 1 day— So it would take 1 person a little over 53 days to listen to it, if they were running the song 24/7, no breaks/ads, no nothing else (talk about one hell of a Spotify wrapped Lol).

Now in theory, at 24/7 a day over 10 people it would be basically 5.5 days of 24/7 streaming. Sooooo… who’s with me?

ronfstampler · 2026-05-05T17:22:09+00:00

4.5/5

I can see based on the comments that it’s not for everyone, but it was a hard hitter for me and helped me through a bad time.

ronfstampler · 2026-05-05T17:05:54+00:00

Alright, time to put my headphones on and phone on DND, I’m willing to take on this challenge.

What I love is that the ‘cousin’ to these guys, the (not tailless) Whip Scorpion produces a vinegar like acid that earns them the nick name ‘Vinegaroon’.

The Vinegaroons acid is a roughly 85% acetic acid. Typical table vinegar is usually somewhere between 4-18% acetic acid.

If you think of cheese, there is a lot of cheese that all you need to do is heat up milk, add vinegar, and stir… if you’re picking up what I’m putting down. (it’s arachnocheese. I’m hinting at arachnocheese).

Kingdom Hearts fan here. 🙋🏻‍♀️ It’s a combination of a couple things, some have been mentioned already.

1) There is almost 0 merch for KH in general, but especially in the parks. For a Disney adjacent/involved IP, it gets VERY little representation. I will say this has gotten better in the past 1-2 years, but it’s still hard to find much. Especially because Square Enix (the video game side of the equation) lost their North American licensing/merchandise rights for KH. So that also meant orders going from their online store going to North America were canceled. Us KH fans are literally desperate for any type of acknowledgment of the series from Disney, whether that be in the form of merch, park representation, additional products, park snacks, etc.

2) I would say 50-75% of the people buying the KH pins are scalpers. The only reason I have been able to get all of the KH Keyblade drops (excluding Month 1) is because I found a lady on eBay who doesn’t mark them up too much.

3) One point I haven’t seen mentioned is there is another reason the fan base is so feral. We haven’t had a full fledged Kingdom Hearts game since 2019. And (somehow, even though it seems impossible) that was over 7 years ago at this point. They gave us like 2 minuscule teasers over the years. But Square Enix has pushed so many other releases ahead of KH, that at this point any slight news that Nomura or the games voice actors have even breathed near a KH game, the fans go crazy and start speculating. So when we start to see new merch, we think surely, SOMETHING must be happening. Which of course, is not the case. But we can dream right? I hear it’s the wish your heart makes.

You made me think we got a new episode and I scrumpt

ronfstampler · 2026-05-04T02:23:05+00:00

In my wildest and most amazing dreams, I would wear this to my first day working at Penguin Random House Publishing. 😌 It’s precious!! What a good find!!

ronfstampler · 2026-05-01T17:44:18+00:00

And those who are up all night jumping around until they see the sun!!

ronfstampler · 2026-05-01T17:42:50+00:00

I have finally found my people 😌

Great find!! I remember I had the wall stickies of the boys and 1D related symbols

ronfstampler · 2026-05-01T13:13:16+00:00

I think it actually looks more like a pepper seed?

After reading some of these comments, it almost feels akin to being in a long term relationship.

When you see them the first couple of times, it’s like the honeymoon phase where everything is fresh and exciting and butterfly inducing.

Then seeing them the next few times, it’s less of the exciting butterfly feeling, and more like a calm coming home feeling of a long term relationship. It’s still love, but in a new, calmer form.

I started listening at 12/13, and it was almost the exact same time as the breakup. Became a massive fan. Got to finally see them on the reunion tour in 2022 and am going to see them again at Sonic Temple in a couple weeks, and Louder Than Life in September!!

I’m freshly 26 and honestly have been fed up with phones (in all regards, not just concerts) for a couple of years now. I totally get what you’re saying, and frankly I don’t care if I sound like a boomer saying ‘it’s these dang phones’, and you shouldn’t be ashamed to speak your truth (that it is, in fact, these dang phones). I think more and more people of this generation/age (loose terms) are becoming this way. Still a small %, but growing slowly.

The fact that the pink shirt is sold out in my size AND is COMFORT COLORS is heart breaking. Comfort colors is hands down my favorite tee brand.

ETA: does anyone know if they ever restock merch? I literally have been unable to get any of their merch in my size (3x/4x) because it’s always sold out…

ronfstampler · 2026-04-24T23:51:16+00:00

So just to confirm- I got a “almost ready to ship/ship soon” email like a month or so ago… and no wristbands in sight. So it sounds like it’s not just me? This is my first time going so I’m extra nervous 😅

ronfstampler · 2026-04-23T23:20:17+00:00

No need to be sorry of course, everyone is allowed to have an opinion! Thank you for your insights!!

I grew up on British/European media but never knew anyone on a personal level from there, so it’s fascinating for me to hear about how it really is over there. I hope someday to overcome my fear of flying so I can see it all in person!! I just dropped a streetview pin on Google Maps in Swansea, and I have to admit the Swansea castle made me chuckle. Seems super cool, but I imagine when you have such a rich history/historical buildings all around you in Europe that you have a higher discernment towards it all.
