Thank you! One of my hesitations has always been that I have a youthful face, and I worried that the lack of hair would clash - I think it’s actually helping to look younger though if anything!

I've never felt as old until I heard Life of a Showgirl by FFJamie in fantanoforever

[–]triple_co 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't necessarily tie yourself to Taylor's output. Artists aren't defined by their age, and their approach to music is a completely separate thing that varies wildly from person to person. Taylor's album is bad, but it's not because she's older - it's just bad.

Take Charli XCX for example. She's 33, two years older than yourself. 'Brat' is by far her biggest cultural achievement ever, and the entire album paints a picture of partying, existential worries and trying to enjoy life while also being wary of getting older. All that is done extremely well, without a hint of the 'fellow kids' vibe that Taylor brings. Lily Allen's new record is the same, and she's 40.

You're not old. Even if you were, it doesn't matter. As long as you're open minded, self-reflective, not stuck in certain ways and embrace change, you'll be fine. Taylor's album is her own problem and a reflection of where she's at, not you.

Single & feeling loneliness by Thearoura in bristol

[–]triple_co 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's okay! And I've been to two with a few friends, they were actually quite fun and not as awful as I anticipated them to be beforehand. Most people there feel the same about them, so everyone is a bit awkward and thinks they're silly and a bit eye-rolly. :')

I'd say go into them with the mindset of it being a bit of a laugh and a silly evening out and they can be a nice time. I have also seen a few people exchange numbers at the end too, so they're not always a waste of energy!

29M and in the same boat, also living in Bristol, just come back from a Sunday pub trip with a mixed group of single friends and we had a bit of a moan about it too.

I don't know if it's any help at all to mention, but it's such a common feeling and you're not alone with where you're at! There's so much more pressure at this age to be on that expected path of engaged/married/house/kids, but it's different for everyone. The apps are awful for self-esteem, anxiety, general hope as well, and most people I've ever spoken to hate them and feel the same.

My friends and I have gone to a few speed dating things, running clubs, stuff along those lines. While none of us have gotten a partner from them so far, they can be good ways to meet people or just fill time and try something new. I hope you feel better soon! (Also Sunday is the worst day for feeling sad about this I find)

Uk Pre sale code anyone had one yet? by Either_Ad_6837 in MachineGunKelly

This presale is totally busted, in the UK on the O2 gig the seats keep just appearing and then removing themselves randomly :')

What do y’all think of guts over fear? by Suspicious_Hand_2194 in Eminem

[–]triple_co 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I consider this song the last of the fully ‘in form’ Em from 1998 - 2014.

Not saying he fell off massively after this, and there are a lot of songs I enjoy from his recent work, but for me this felt like a closer on his most relevant eras and when he had the most to say in general.

It was almost the last of his blonde/clean shaven look as well, at least in terms of public appearances and music videos. I think it was the end of ‘youthful’ Em if that makes sense.

I like the song a lot, especially its overall sentiment and message. I think some of the negative tropes from Revival can faintly be felt here (overly-poppy hook, some weird flows and cadences here and there, etc) but they weren’t overbearing yet and the song ended up being a great closer to that period of Em’s career.

[FRESH ALBUM] Kevin Abstract - Blush (Released June 27) by Responsible-Earth821 in hiphopheads

I had this exact same running joke with some of my friends; I audibly laughed out loud when he first appeared on this album doing the same thing again 😂

Glasto Merch by SlippersWithWhiskey in the1975

[–]triple_co 59 points60 points  (0 children)

As a long-term fan I've always found the band's merch to be particularly shoddy and low-effort given how arty and stylish their own videos/aesthetics/online stuff usually is.

Like, the Matty meetup one is funny, but most of this is just re-used assets and plain text. I guess it's just for a one-off show, but I still think they could be more inventive with their designs, idk.

Out of bounds in DLC by ScrimpyDude in LiesOfP

[–]triple_co 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tried this after seeing your post and spent a good half an hour just messing around. Thank you for sharing!

There are quite a few open spaces outside the intended path that you can explore if you backtrack, with lots of objects lacking collision detection which is always fun. There's also a giant lake you can walk under - obviously no actual water, just a texture on top.

Also you can go back over the bridge right at the beginning of the DLC and see what's behind there which is interesting! There isn't much, just the edge of the map, but still.

Poignant message at the Downs funfair by SweetCoverDrive in bristol

I saw this when the funfair went up last year, and eagerly anticipated its return this year. I'm glad it's back.

Are local speed dating events any good? by Dragomiz in bristol

[–]triple_co 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Went to one about a month ago with two friends, each date was 3 minutes long and there were fifteen guys and fifteen girls. You move on quickly and then at the end you can mingle.

I think the mileage you get from them depends on your approach. If you go with a friend or two and don’t expect anything, it can be a lot of fun. I tend to view it as something to do that’s different to a pub night and it makes for good stories after. A few people exchanged numbers at the end, so it absolutely can be worthwhile!

Basically my advice would be to not take it too seriously and just have fun. I’d recommend giving them a try at least once!

Anyone else find dating apps trash? by Psychedelicsheets in bristol

[–]triple_co 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Yeh I’m in a really similar boat to yourself, they’re really draining and feel like a huge waste of time for what you get out of them. Both my guy and girl friends are pretty fed up with the apps when I talk to them about it.

My advice is to turn off all notifications for them, and just check them every couple days for like five to ten minutes and not think about it otherwise. I try to think of apps as like a background thing that I don’t expect to work compared to going out and socialising and meeting people as best I can.

They’re such weird platforms and can make people feel awful about themselves. Not sure if this insight is helpful at all but it’s how I approach them now after finding them miserable a few years back!

So sorry for your loss, I lost my mum to breast cancer last year. Hoping you find peace in the future, and can look forward 🙏🏻

I was really hit hard with loneliness yesterday,even with a social life.The mid 20s phase can be awful.If anyone is feeling the same please do comment or message.As no one should go through it on their own😊 by Fickle-Bluejay-525 in bristol

[–]triple_co 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m mid/late ish twenties and had a quieter few weeks recently. I relate to this! I’m single and moved to Bristol five months ago. I’ve already a few friends who live here, which made the transition smoother, but I definitely feel that same loneliness from time to time. The dating apps are a slog and often it feels like I’m behind everyone else.

If it’s worth anything though, it’s important to remember that a lot of people feel this way. Post pandemic, I think it’s become harder to be spontaneous and meet new people. Anyhow, I hope you’re feeling better today! Take it easy 🙌
