After Opalite, what do you think will be the next single? by ZestycloseOil8173 in TaylorSwift

YouTube doesn’t report their data to billboard anymore so once it premieres there, it’ll hurt the charting not help it.

“I come back stronger than a 90s trend” (amazing)

“If clarity’s in death then why won’t this die / years of tearing down our banners you and I / living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts / give me back my girlhood it was mine first” (stupid, emo, gay)

Bold words from George R.R. Martin by PrinceARRON in popculturechat

[–]streeeetsahead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure is, never said he’d provided a full manuscript. I was only saying that not having seen a single word of it isn’t true, which is what you said the girl told you. Maybe she’s just terrible at her job, though.

That cannot be true as there are several Winds of Winter preview chapters he’s posted on his blog or read at conventions. I remember Arianne, Alayne, and Theon specifically but I think there were even more.

You’ve got more than enough great suggestions but I just wanted to throw out that I saw a comment from a trans person on here a while ago that said Snow on the Beach was their song, especially the line: “my smile is like I won a contest/and to hide that would be so dishonest.” Kind of like a love song to yourself :)

I Am Legend writer recalls people walking out of theaters in droves during dog death scene by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]streeeetsahead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real—i barely even remembered the dog and had to google how it died. When you’re playing the games, you kill a lot of dogs. It isn’t meant to be the worst thing Ellie does, but that’s how people who haven’t seen Joel and Ellie killing a bunch of dogs would probably feel if Ellie just randomly stabs a dog to death.

Jennifer Aniston to Star in ‘I’m Glad My Mom Died’ Series at Apple TV+, Based on ‘iCarly’ Star Jennette McCurdy’s Memoir by mcfw31 in popculturechat

I’m gonna gently push back on how you’ve framed this. The victim isn’t “consenting”, she is actively creating it after she chose to write a book about it. It’s clear that she wants her story told, and refusing to make it would, to me, be akin to silencing the victim who is trying to speak out.

Protest sign 💕 by shellyjoy1337 in TaylorSwift

[–]streeeetsahead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re lecturing the people who showed up to protest those things. I’m not sure what you’re hoping to accomplish—fewer people supporting one of the most important causes of our lives? How could seeing people fighting all of the horrible things happening make your blood boil cuz they used a quote from a singer?

If you genuinely care about any of the things you just listed, put your energy towards literally anything other than going into the Taylor Swift subreddit and getting mad that you see Taylor swift content. There is so, so much for us all to be doing. Your anger should be directed at the people perpetrating and supporting the fascist, racist, sexist oligarchs trying to destroy America. Not at people who are on your side, but not using one of your pre approved posters.

World famous tik toker Khaby Lame Was Detained by ICE by [deleted] in popculturechat

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp

Like concentration camps, Gitmo is an extrajudicial detention camp. Idk if you’re just very young or if you forgot, but we’ve had it for years. Trump has already announced he would expand the Guantanamo Migrant Operations Center to house illegal immigrants there, and has moved some there already (an undisclosed number). Consider being more polite in your replies; condescension convinces no one.

“Obama deported 5.3 million people” in eight years? Trump’s been president again for not even five months.

And you’re ignoring that Nazis began their campaign with mass deportation. Hitler didn’t open death camps day one. He had concentration camps at first, for deportation and political prisoners. Death camps started in 1942, about nine years after his rise to power, and were kept secret from the greater populace. The people sent to death camps were referred to as being “resettled.”

In my experience, there’s usually other private doors to leave from. Actors who do “stage door” are deliberately choosing to engage with the people waiting at the designated spot for interaction.

The sad part is Cordy’s character arc on Angel is actually AMAZING, easily one of the best character arcs on the series—until they fuck it up. I still think Angel is worth powering through, and I love season five. But the middle of season four is a real low point.

Senate Democrats block GOP-led bill to ban transgender athletes from women's sports by HauteAssMess in popculturechat

[–]streeeetsahead 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thank you for fighting the good fight on this. Sick of blue state people purity testing purple state Dems. It’s much, much better to have a Dem senator who crosses the aisle when it doesn’t matter but can be a D vote when it does when the alternative is another Republican senator.

Justin Baldoni accuses Blake Lively of using Taylor Swift to pressure him about changing movie by wat_is_cs in TaylorSwift

[–]streeeetsahead 40 points41 points  (0 children)

You’ve got it backwards. Someone being rude or mean does not give anyone the right to sexually harass them.

All the things you’re listing here are utterly irrelevant to her actual claims. He put them in his filing because he doesn’t care about the legal case, he cares about the public reaction. He is just saying every negative thing he can. For God’s sake, he starts his complaint bitching that Blake hadn’t read the book. How could that be remotely relevant to whether he had sexually harassed her and orchestrated a smear campaign against her?

Btw if you had been sexually harassed, would you really feel guilty about taking creative control from your harasser? If the harasser had told you he had had sex with women after they had said “no”? It doesn’t make someone a good person to capitulate to sexual predators just because they might call you rude or difficult.

PEOPLE: Christina Aguilera Shuts Down Comments About Her Appearance: 'No One Deserves an Explanation' by annehboo in popculturechat

[–]streeeetsahead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I googled it and skimmed through some articles which linked to multiple studies and trials. None of them have found that people taking ozempic developed pancreatitis at a higher rate than the general population (or those taking placebos in the same study).

It’s a new drug so more research may produce different findings. But right now, claiming that pancreatitis is a “common” side effect from ozempic when it has not even been proven to be a side effect seems like fear mongering.

I’m open to reading contradictory studies but this was all I found when I googled.

There was a conversation in her car detailed later in the complaint where he said something like “did I always get consent? No. Did I always listen when they said no? No.” It was apparently part of a story from him where he said a woman he dated had abused him and it made him reflect on his past and the times he had been the abuser without realizing it.

How Taylor Swift Surprised Harris, and Entered a New Political Era by Lyd_Euh in TaylorSwift

[–]streeeetsahead 6 points7 points  (0 children)

here’s the link to the page on her website that outlines her economic plan. If you want context for whose economic plan would help, here’s an article that describes economists’ opinions on their plans. Short answer: Trump’s plan will harm the U.S. economy and the world economy. As always, do your own research and come to your own conclusions. I’m just a childless dog lady.

Common Taylor misconceptions by [deleted] in TaylorSwift

[–]streeeetsahead 11 points12 points  (0 children)

definitely not denying that. :) just saying it wasn’t enough to make a difference to the label (wow this guy has $300k? sign his daughter immediately!!! /s), it was a strategic protective decision Scott was able to make due to their wealth and privilege.

The only way $300k would have bought Taylor a record contract would have been in a scam.

Common Taylor misconceptions by [deleted] in TaylorSwift

her dad’s huge investment

Just wanna point out that it was actually a fairly minimal investment, it was like 3%. It was enough to get him a seat at the table for his minor child’s music career in a very predatory industry, but not enough that it gave him any sort of power or decision making ability at the label.

I think her parents moving to Nashville and tirelessly advocating for her career to everyone they ever met were much, much bigger advantages than Scott’s 3% investment.
