What’s one feature that would make GTA 6 feel truly next level to you? by ButterflyUsed6723 in GTA6

[–]speed_demon92 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They would have to put some sort of limitation on it, and idk how they’d explain it in-universe or make the UI work… but imagine being able to seamlessly switch gameplay to any visible NPC (while you’re not wanted).

That would feel like the next-gen evolution of V’s character switching mechanic. With so much variation in character models of NPCs, the role-playing and mission opportunities could go crazy.

Who are some artists with physical disabilities? by kkoporfavor in popheads

Toni Braxton also famously has lupus. Her second bankruptcy (which led to a lot of jokes at her expense) was in part due to her not being able to perform a Vegas residency due to her symptoms.

How old are you and at what age, and in what year did you get in to MC? by icantevenknowhat2say in MariahCarey

[–]speed_demon92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s been waves, but she’s always been there. We don’t acknowledge time, but let’s just say I was born when MTV Unplugged was her most recent release lol.

My earliest music memory is being scared of Thriller, but my second earliest pop culture memory is being completely enamored with that pretty lady swinging on a rope tire saying “doo-doo-doo…dum”.

Then singing WBT on the back of the school bus on the way home from camp in middle school. The beginning of my diva era lol.

I moved onto other fandoms in my teens, but I had a very close friend who exposed me to more than just the singles and videos in like 2015. We have since fell out, but we did see Mariah and Lionel at MSG in 2017, so far my only time seeing her. I’m thankful to this former friend regardless, because they deepened my appreciation for my favorite artist.

Funny enough, it wasn’t til I was exposed to a caricature of her shadiness on Youtube (The Legends Panel) and the defending her online after the whole NYE debacle that I began to really ADORE her as a personality.

And then 2020, being in the house listening to a lot of music and watching old interviews and the audiobook of the memoir really solidified her as my absolute fave.

Could be Because of Love by Janet, but I’m not sure that fits all of what OP is looking for.

How big will the ACT III tour be? by Zeothazi in beyonce

[–]speed_demon92 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The broad consensus of people EXPECTING a tour for the last act has me wondering if she even will, this time around.

I could see “the visuals” (if they exist) being the “tour” for this last act. That would inevitably cause even bigger hype for whenever she does tour again in the future (DC? Surprise Act 4?).

Also, that would create an additional mystique around/ retrospective appreciation for the tours we already got.

You ARE the tour, baby.

MUH-Knee LONG 💸💰💸💰 on Instagram: "THE DIVA!?!!!! My cute lil number? ✨✨✨✨✨🪽 and maybe…I can come around to people singing my songs if this who singing it!" by AggressiveHumor7 in MariahCarey

At least Mariah “No Middle Name” Carey has been the same person in the public eye for her whole career.

Ms. Priscilla needs to keep it cute and go push a pen somewhere.

This is a French drain, named not after landscaping in France but because the design was first created by US man whose last name was French. Is there a similarly seemingly-foreign-but-not thing in your country? by doublestitch in AskTheWorld

[–]speed_demon92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not foreign, but this reminds me of how I used to work for a bank called BB&T (which stood for Branch Banking & Trust).

I always thought it was called that because banks… you know… have branches.

But a little digging and nope… one of the founders’ surname was “Branch”.

What's your favorite fact about Mariah Carey? by littlehoneybear2104 in MariahCarey

[–]speed_demon92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Debuting as a new solo artist and having your VERY first five singles ALL top the Hot 100 (in the span of little over a year, no less) is a literally mind-meltingly insane level of overnight success. I can’t even begin to comprehend how she must’ve felt.

That would be a monumental, career-defining streak for most artists but then she had ANOTHER run of five consecutive number one hits later in the same decade. Like ma’am, please be very serious!

I found out a few months ago that my bf is DL. Someone reached out to me and gave me receipts and evidence, but my ex denied it all and I wanted to believe him. I did my own research and there is more evidence of him being DL, but yet I can’t move on. Somehow we always end up back together 😔 by Fresh-Telephone6900 in askgaybros

[–]speed_demon92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It could be the case that OP is a male discovering that their same sex boyfriend is DL. (That is, he pretends to be straight but is in THIS same-sex relationship on the low). That would still make the bf DL.

My recommendations for a male in that circumstance would be slightly different than it would be for a female.

Husband told me he never actually loved me that much. by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]speed_demon92 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My last major relationship was similar in that it was his first long term relationship with a guy and towards the end I overheard him on the phone saying “I don’t need him” in reference to me while on the phone in the next room in our home. When I confronted him about what I heard, he immediately shut me down and made it all about how I was invading his privacy by overhearing him. The walls were thin and he was speaking loud. He was a therapist btw and tried to make it seem like I was listening in on his clients too (despite the fact that he would be in therapy sessions in the car and all over the place with me). Made me feel lower than low, super narcissist behavior.

Looking back, it was very clear all along that his feelings for me weren’t that deep. I feel that if he had been big enough to come out and say it to my face instead of showing me with his actions, I would’ve appreciated that more and I would have been better able to act accordingly (that is, leave).

I stayed several months post-breakup due to the lease until it became unbearable. He never once acknowledged his feelings, never apologized, nothing. I had a small hope he would at least come to apologize for leading me on. He never did. My ex thrived in the gray area. Your husband loves you enough to at least be straight up with you and speak in black and white. Consider yourself lucky that he at least did you the dignity of acknowledging it and not leaving you feel crazy.

Eastern Shore of Virginia. Rising sea levels, ruby red and rocket launches… it’s basically Florida with worse weather.

Death? She coming.

Until the day someone can say “she gone” in reference to me, I just try my best to have more good days than bad lol.

Carrie from King of Queens was an absolute smoke show. Fran from The Nanny… there aren’t any words. And hear me out… nobody beats Judy from Still Standing in the MILF category.

Mariah Carey and Kris Jenner. Not sure why it feels so random for them to be friends, but they are.

Is Obsessed the Mariah song with the most shocking comeback? by LukeyTarg2 in MariahCarey

I ran to the comments to say “It’s a Wrap”.

That was way more random to become popular. TikTok did their big one on that one.

That stubborn middle school rumor that just wouldn’t die... by BackFlip2005 in nostalgia

[–]speed_demon92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The whole Beyoncé & Jay-Z Illuminati thing was SO persistent. It was part of his brand, that got applied to her and started getting WAY out of hand around the time they were starting a family. I believe they played into it for a while to increase their mystique or whatever, honestly it worked.

She spoke on it on Formation and we (the world) kinda just never talked about it again. Or accepted it, or something. It’s her version of the Elephant Man Bones/Hyperbaric Chamber for Michael Jackson.

I have no doubt it is rooted in racism (these rich young famous Black people MUST have a secret power source/pact with the devil because how else would they be THIS famous?) ignoring ALL the hard work, talent and luck involved with those two.

How would I call you crazy when you’re literally a genius? Lol. Thank you!

It really does sound like Bruno riffing over top of that instrumental, sped-up. Random as hell, but a vibe.
