Really, the odds have to be pretty high that’s she’s participated there before, right?
Also, how many simpers do we think cried themselves to sleep over him being taken now? 🤭
NOTE: Do NOT threaten, insult, or otherwise brigade r\cats users or mods. The mods here were informed that people are receiving death threats there from this sub. That is completely unacceptable and terrible behaviour.
A couple weeks ago, there was a post from a user whose cat, still just a kitten, had gotten hit and killed by a car while roaming outside. She was devastated, and also explained this was extra hard because her last cat had also been hit and killed by a car while roaming outside.
This was her second cat in a row who had died by being outside and hit by a car.
Most commenters expressed their condolences, and also suggested keeping future cats inside. The vast majority of them were polite and gentle about it. Her many responses expressed that she respects cat’s wishes and they want to be outside.
I got banned for the comment I left, and the mods mass-banned the majority of people who commented; they banned anyone who even hinted it is better to keep cats inside.
When I responded (and I admittedly responded snarkily), they referred to keeping cat’s inside being better as YouTube disinformation.
Attached are screenshots of the mod’s message to me, my own comment to the OP for full disclosure, a couple of the OP’s comments, and the original ban message.
ETA: My comment was harsh and my own banning was valid. However, the vast majority of the comments were not. Most were along the lines of "I'm so sorry for your loss. You may consider keeping future cats inside." All of those people were banned as well.
Today I was looking at the Billboard hot 100 and was surprised to see I Knew, I Knew You is still as high as number 3 on it, having been retaken from number one by Choosing Texas by Ella Langley at some point.
It seemed surprising to me that a song I’ve heard is pretty middling (I haven’t heard it myself) has stayed so high for so long, especially given it’s not one of her album songs. I know she released different record variants of it and such, which would elevate that, and of course Swifties always work very hard to keep anything she does at the top, but it still seemed random for a bland end credits song to be sitting so high so long.
And then it occurred to me - it’s at the end of a Disney film! This means it gets automatically added to a bunch of Disney and cartoon playlists. The playlists that parents put on and just let run nonstop for their kids. The song is likely getting very frequent play by virtue of being added to a bunch of child friendly playlists.
It’s also apparently a little more country than her recent stuff. And these two things got me thinking.
Golden was an unbeatable power house of a hit for a long time. While one of Taylor’s singles did finally push it out of number one spot, it either went back to 1 or 2 and stayed there long after Taylor’s Showgirl songs slipped down. It was a great song people loved, but it also had the benefit of being on every child’s playlist out there.
And then you’ve got Choosing Texas, which has somehow just consistently kept popping into number 1. It’s like it’s stuck there with Velcro! It gets knocked out of place and then just springs right back there after a week or two, consistently, since February.
Taylor clearly wrote off country over a decade ago, and hasn’t touched it since. Why is she suddenly putting out a country-ish single? She put more fanfare about doing an end-credits song than I’ve ever seen for one in my life, saying weird things like that she thinks about Tot Story all the time, that it’s been a huge part of her life, etc.
I think she saw two songs that have what she wants - crazy lasting power on the charts - and decided to try to use elements of both to get her the same thing. She sees country is popular enough now to get number one hits, she sees cartoon-movie music gets a lot of automatic sustained play, and sought to release something that was both.
I used Imgur because Reddit’s photo service really muted the quality and colour of the glow.!but she’s so perfect.
There is a missing rose in that upward dip on her skirt. If anyone has any ideas of what I could do with that while preserving the period of the piece, I’d love suggestions!
I thought this lipstick holder lady was adorable, but didn’t figure her gems would glow. Turns out they all do!
All of her videos are just this, her posing in various outfits. All the comments are asking how to become shaped like her, but I feel like her proportions just seem really off. I couldn’t see any background distortion or warping in her videos so I wouldn’t think it’s just a filter - are these being AI edited, or does she just have a super rare body type?
If anyone has any guesses about it, let me know! I feel like it’s Juliana-styled but likely not actual Juliana. I got it for $6 🤭
Of the couple of people I've known who I strongly suspect have BPD, they both had a tendency to write long-form, hand written letters.
One of them wrote a three-page love letter to a situationship that was (from my perspective - her friends literally nicknamed this guy an addictive drug) clearly her FP, and when he responded to it with basically "sorry, still just want to be FWB and nothing more" she came back the next day and said that was totally fine, she didn't feel any of the things in her letter anymore and was just being silly, and could they please continue their situationship.
I remember being really struck at how unusual it is to write a three page love letter to a three-month situationship to begin with, much less to have such a dramatic shift from its contents within a day.
The other person I suspect had it would do more frequent, shorter but still flowery, seemingly sweet letters to their partner in between the times treating them like total garbage.
So is letter writing in this way a frequent or typical thing with those with BPD?
