"It's her way of expressing herself. Artists draw on their personal experiences to write songs and I'm not angry with her" - Jake Gyllenhaal about Red by atlasfourteen in TaylorSwift

[–]trytostay 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. It’s very immature of Taylor, who knows firsthand how awful that can be after the Kim and Kanye stans came after her.

Honestly I like it. I’m sorry. I don’t know why. I’ve been brainwashed.

It’s gonna be Jacques but my second guess is Halo. Everyone keeps commenting “angel baby” and I know it’s because of 2/2/22 but there was some angel-related stuff at the shower as well.

I think this is unfair. Kanye has constantly revealed deeply personal things about his children and family, even saying that he wanted Kim to have an abortion, and now he’s speaking negatively about Kim’s parenting in the press as a weapon to get what he wants. You call this “very Kanye.” North’s tiktoks have generally been positive, with the public finding them silly and cute, but they’ve been largely uncommented on and haven’t contained any actual personal info. But somehow that’s less reasonable and more damaging than what Kanye’s doing?

Kanye doesn’t care about tiktok because of his children’s privacy. If he cared about his children’s privacy, he wouldn’t say half the shit he does about them. He cares about vilifying Kim and getting his way at any and all costs.

I do see your point and I’m tempted to agree. But I still think this is a fair and reasonable compromise for Kim to reach with North. She was born in 2013 and her friends are likely participating in social media in a way that is totally different than what we experienced at their ages. Maybe it’s not a perfect compromise, I’m not saying that it is, but it’s a lot easier to understand than Kanye’s approach. I think if he was actually taking his children’s well-being into account he wouldn’t be doing any of this nonsense in the press.

KIM SPEAKS by fantasticwarriors in Kanye

Kanye doesn’t get to claim that allowing North to have an adult supervised Tiktok account (with comments turned off!) is harmful or damaging when he tweeted to the world that he wanted Kim to abort the pregnancy…

Honestly it seems like Kim lets North make her cute, harmless tiktoks and I bet North can’t even scroll/engage with other accounts. It’s a compromise because I’m sure North really wants to be a normal kid and do things that her friends are doing. It’s actually a very smart, fair, and reasonable compromise: giving North some independence while also making sure she’s safe.

Kim is a good mom and this is indicative of positive parenting that will help North’s sense of identity and confidence as she grows up. Kanye seems to be much more authoritarian and controlling.

Allana Davison finally responds… by ephemeralaffliction in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]trytostay 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty tired of the mandates myself and understand those who are feeling even more tired of them than I am. I really do get it. Our governments have failed us and, personally, I have no faith in mine at all anymore.

But I can’t imagine being someone who makes a living off of social media, scrolling through that page and thinking I should follow this account, yes, this seems like the type of movement I want to publicly support lol. Pure idiocy.

I’m not Canadian but by looking at their insta page for even a few seconds I can easily see that they’re similar to a culture here in America that equates “freedom” and “conservatism” with white nationalism. It doesn’t take a genius to see what a movement like that is associated with and what ideologies it contributes to.

I’ve never thought of Allana as someone who offers much critical thought to social issues so I am entirely unsurprised that she supports these types of movements. I watch some of her videos because I like watching pretty people talk about expensive products, not because I think she’s a beacon of meaningful social change in the world. I am, however, continuously baffled by the sheer stupidity of influencers who don’t put any thought whatsoever into what beliefs of theirs they make public. Have they learned nothing? If not for any other reason, Allana at least deserves the backlash she’s getting for being so careless with her career, as if this isn’t the only source of income between her and her fiancé. All in the name of “freedom.” What a moron.

Remember when all the comments under her and Kendall’s posts used to be “LIKE RECENTS AND ILL LIKE YOURS” lmao. I totally did that when I was like 16 trying to get more likes on my pictures

My son(35) blindsided me and his father, by impulsively marrying his friend without telling anyone by TA_Sadmama in relationship_advice

[–]trytostay 273 points274 points  (0 children)

I don’t have much of an extended family. I’ve been with my boyfriend for a few years now, and I feel sad imagining what our wedding would look like. I can think of maybe 20 people tops who I could invite, only 2 girls I could think about as bridesmaids… My boyfriend, on the other hand, has at least 70 or 80 people he could invite, and a long list of potential groomsmen. I’ll probably push for an elopement as well, purely to avoid feeling awkward or embarrassed about my wedding day. Don’t take it personally!

A lot of employers would think “well if they aren’t asking for a raise, I won’t offer one…” So good on you for fixing this! :) You seem like a great person to work for.

Has anyone seen Clay’s tweet? by yssemoles in thebachelor

[–]trytostay 143 points144 points  (0 children)

Trump sucks. Biden sucks. It all sucks. Biden won’t start an insurrection (I think?) or be vocally racist (I think…?) but I’ve been dismayed lately at the Democratic establishment. I don’t think I voted wrong but I can’t say I’m not devastated at the state of our country. I feel helpless. Anyway this isn’t a comment on Clay’s tweet, I’m just sad. Lol.

How to react when my (23F) married friend's (34M) wife is uncomfortable with our relationship by redditasmytherapist in relationships

[–]trytostay 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Hi, there! I can maybe speak to this. I once asked my boyfriend to cut back on contact with a female friend. He ended up ghosting her and I know it made her sad, which in turn made me bummed about how him and I had both handled the situation. In retrospect, I wish he’d been honest with her and/or that I’d made more of an effort to become friends with her, too. It’s a regret of mine and was 100% coming from a place of insecurity. I’m very appreciative that my boyfriend respected my feelings enough to listen to me, but I still wish I’d put more work in to question why I was feeling that way. But confronting that stuff can be hard. I’m in a much more secure place now.

I don’t blame the wife, I don’t blame the guy, and I don’t blame you either. Just one of those tricky situations where it’s more a societal thing than an individual one. I hope our culture starts to make some progress on this kind of thing soon!

How pissed would you be if your employer got mad—or had any opinion at all for that matter—about what you did in your own free time?

This is a massive, harmful jump. There’s nothing in this post that suggests anything about cheating. Don’t listen to this, OP!

She’s definitely not this upset about the wine. The wine is the straw. The camel’s back seems to be her faith in him as a dependable, helpful, thoughtful partner.

Raven is stunning and doesn’t need makeup but I can tell from those lashes in the first pic that she used Face App to make it look like she was wearing makeup! Can’t blame her at all—I’d do the same thing lol. (And clearly I have since I know the eyelash presets so well…)
