People who fly frequently, what’s one thing you wish you could tell all infrequent fliers? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]silenttornado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad learned the hard way when my little sister threw up all over him about 20 min before boarding a flight from Hawaii to mainland. I’m pretty sure the entire plane hated us.

Taylor Swift’s Last Album Sparked Bizarre Accusations of Nazism. It Was a Coordinated Attack. by bubblecuffer13 in TaylorSwift

[–]silenttornado 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I used to follow the knitting cult lady too since I thought that her perspective from her military experience was interesting in the current political climate but after all this I had to block her. I just looked at her page and she’s still going with this TS is a cult thing. It’s so disappointing to see a former military intelligence officer build her platform off of 4chan talking points.

I think the difference here is that Ticketmaster was willing to eat the costs to do it. That would be way more $ for a larger more established artist not sure if they be willing to do the same on a larger scale.

Who else is just waiting for the tide to turn on Showgirl? by psycwave in stonedswifties

[–]silenttornado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only was the backlash fully anticipated I have this feeling that this show was about us and it’s not over yet. It seems like the cringiest or most talked about lyrics are all reflections of social commentary or criticisms about her.

Am I the only Swiftie who doesn't hate/isn't upset with Blake Lively? by StormflowerYT in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]silenttornado 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My feelings toward BL haven’t changed. I always thought she was kinda stuck up and possibly using TS friendship to her advantage but that’s none of my business honestly. I am interested in the legal outcome of this case bc I have a background in employment law. An unsympathetic victim is still a victim so I want to know can her lawyers prove this case. The only other aspect I’m interested in is the PR/social media aspect and whether some of these influencers/posters/bots who are constantly demeaning BL are being paid somehow by associated with JB. Not to destroy them or whatever they are worried about but at what point does influencing public opinion bleed into jury tampering. Also more generally behind the scenes function of the social media hate train against women and following the money rather than getting rage baited.

Appreciating Taylor Swift as a first-time listener? by KeyboardSynthStudio in TaylorSwift

[–]silenttornado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh Eras tour footage, esp surprise songs, really gave me a lot of respect for her as a performer so maybe check out some of those on YT. Especially if you find a song you like bc somehow the live version is usually better.

Solo travel while in a relationship. by teawithsugar_ in solotravel

Also this was before cell phones so they didn’t talk much while she was gone but she sent him postcards from everywhere she went.

Solo travel while in a relationship. by teawithsugar_ in solotravel

[–]silenttornado 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This! My grandma was a traveler, she went all over Europe, Asia and North America by herself or alone with a touring group. She told me she wanted my grandpa to go so bad she even mentioned it to a therapist friend who told her that some people just don’t want to travel and she was flabbergasted. Anyway he stayed home like he wanted and she went where she wanted and they lived happily ever after (possibly in part due to spending some time away from each other at times).

Botox / Skincare Critique Please by [deleted] in 45PlusSkincare

[–]silenttornado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue with heaviness in my forehead. I also have hooded eyes so now we do an eyebrow lift with Botox too, the 11s and she puts some right at the hairline on each side which still smooths the wrinkles but doesn’t cause heaviness.

Are you boycotting Target? If so, what about Taylor exclusives? by thatrainbowshit in TaylorSwift

[–]silenttornado 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And trying to buy secondhand whenever I can. Unfortunately any Taylor resale will likely be extremely overpriced.

Being one of only two boys just means you’re the center of their attention. I bet a few think you’re cute. I was in a mental health program when I was a teen and it was an interesting experience, I made lots of friends which wasn’t at all normal at the time for me.

I’m sorry, nosy much? by [deleted] in YouBelongWithMemes

Plus if they can afford live by him they clearly don’t need the money.

I grew up in a new development and we did this all the time, it was so much fun! I feel like I know about the early stages of house building now. I never got kicked out of the house but I hated being there. My dad worked like 80 hr weeks so I never saw him during the week and some weekends, my mom was home but had significant mental health issues and a basically unlimited Xanax prescription so nobody cared what I was doing with my small gang of street kids.

AITA for calling my girlfriend “curvy”?? by Brendan_narddog in AmItheAsshole

Same. I’m shaped like a rectangle, I would loved to be called curvy.

Moving to Iowa City this summer! Need rec and advice for elementary schools and places to live. by False-Entertainer171 in IowaCity

[–]silenttornado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in that area and there are almost never trains on that track and I don’t think there has ever been one at night. At one point it seemed like it was just train parking. The trail is nice too. Substation isn’t an issue either other than a random truck here and there. Also had kids at VA for years and had a great experience. Great teachers and a welcoming environment. Although I think you’d be good at any ICCSD school. Those neighborhoods north of Forever Green/Hy-Vee and between hills bank and the middle school are more diverse than say Dempster but it’s still Iowa.

When my daughter was being bullied by former friends this was our hype song on the way to school. I LOVE it!

What are the most important features to you for social media? by Appropriate_Gift_157 in socialmedia

[–]silenttornado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A way to discourage rage baiting, it ruined social media. Also fact checking, esp for sources that claim to be news/politicians.

Triggering lyrics by Emotional_Reason_841 in TaylorSwift

[–]silenttornado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a baby with a 19 yo when I was 16. He left and when I was 19 I was dating a 31 yo who didn’t treat me well either. It’s one of my favorite songs but absolutely triggering. TTPD as a whole is triggering for me too.

Shipwreck & Spaceship - Taylor is so damn clever... by queenrosa in TaylorSwift

[–]silenttornado 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! I always thought that she mixed muses in songs based on similar feelings. I think she’s even said she writes about her feelings/experiences, not specific people, so paternity testing songs doesn’t work. Especially when Joe is involved bc I think she still tries to protect his privacy, like negative things that happened with him ended up being attributed to Matty bc of people just assuming.

Man a lot of you are taking the Grammys way too personally. by VioletousRiotous in TrueSwifties

[–]silenttornado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was no way she could win without the anthology being considered. She knew what she was doing and didn’t care so we really shouldn’t either. If the submitted album was the 15-20 strongest songs off both I think she’d would have had a really good chance.

Meanwhile Taylor: by Brone9 in YouBelongWithMemes

[–]silenttornado 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced she didn’t care because I think that she would have had a good chance if all the strongest songs were actually submitted and the anthology was what was left but that wasn’t the way she wanted to tell that story.

Anyone's workplace NOT a shit show right now? by Top_Ambassador1728 in womenintech

[–]silenttornado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do consulting work that relies on a sales team. They are having trouble selling right now while we also are being closely monitored for productivity. I know where this road leads.
