How was Rehab even allowed onto the album?

I thought the label would never let it get on there given its subject matter and how it could influence people in a bad way. I thought labels generally would not allow anything like that, particularly with something that explicit.

What are Joey and the others' Status?

Like what exactly is their role since they're not official members but obviously their presence is crucial to Paramore existing as a rock band as they play parts that are absolutely essential. Do they basically just do what Taylor tells them to or is there something else?

What do you think was so special about TIW to the mainstream?

I discovered Paramore 2010-11 and then really became hardcore with AL when it pretty much saved my life. They were Clearly B-listers then and at least I would guess had been since Riot. It definitely seems like TIW turned them into A-listers even though the style of music isn't all that different from BNE and ST.

I think social norms are a good thing unless the thing they are preserving is unjust

I just saw the trailer for Megan Rapinoe's next podcast "Why Are You Like This" and it's dedicated to people who simply choose to challenge social norms without much expectation given. Obviously she's challenged some social norms that all of us should find absolutely admirable and she's done so much good for the world because she's challenged them. But with the recent stuff coming out speculating that she's been kind of a jerk, it led me to think that there are absolutely social norms worth preserving that are actually good for people to understand and follow, and it's a difficult balance to find. This is especially true for me as I'm autistic and I really need to know how to stand up for what I believe in while still being a respectful human being. It's a challenge but I hope to be able to progress with it as you shouldn't expect anyone to be perfect at finding that balance.

Paramore and Fleetwood Mac

They’re honestly pretty much identical in how personal their music is, how much they’ve been influenced by each other etc. I think the one difference between them is really that Hayley is a much better human being than Stevie

Is this a good way to think about Christianity?

Secular Jew here, and is this a good way to think about different branches of Christianity?

Anglican/Episcopalian: 95% Catholic
Lutheran: 85% Catholic
Presbyterian: 70% Catholic
Methodist: 50% Catholic
Baptist/Pentscostal: Completely different.
That’s what it seems like to me based at least on watching certain services and funerals.

Is this relatively accurate?

If I (male) am more comfortable talking to women in general (and particularly queer women) is that a bad thing?

I kind of am and that's probably because of my personal history being neurodiverse, introverted, and liking intellectual discussion, but am I inadvertently making other people feel uncomfortable or worse than that because of who I'm around? Genuine question and honestly want to know.

How could Tina hate the lyrics of "What's Love Got to Do With It" when they fit her so perfectly?

Like I just can't think of a better song for her and it became such an inspiration specifically because she was singing it. How could she originally not like it?

Do you think Sue Bird is now very likely celibate for life for this specific reason?

I (heterosexual male who feels most comfortable around queer women due to things I have experienced regarding my neurodiversity) wonder if because of her position, she can only feel chemistry with people who are above her in status. Obviously that is very very few people but Megan was one of them. Is that the way it culturally works generally speaking? If you donn't get what I'm asking please say so.
