Comparing Taylor Swift to other pop stars

I was thinking about TS and how she doesn't really compare to other pop stars like Madonna who has star quality, could dance, was interesting, was sexy in her heyday, and actually seemed to work on improving her singing ability throughout her career.

Or comparing her to say a Lady Gaga who has a great voice and is a classically trained pianist. Or even someone like Olivia Rodrigo whose songs have an authentic voice, sweetness, and humanity to them.

I started to think TS is sort of like Debbie Gibson in that her songs aren't terribly meaningful or deep except Debbie can sing well and was actually a very good pianist and also wrote her own songs alone (as opposed to TS who I suspect doesn't have as much input in the writing of her songs as she'd have us believe).

Am I off track? I'm just kind of baffled by TS. She's a mega-star but she doesn't do anything well really.

New loan changes affecting established students

Anyone else in the position where they never failed anything and never repeated and yet are suddenly being told they are no longer grandfathered into Grad Plus loans?

My school is defining their program length as 10 semesters and counting a semester off for studying for Step 1 (which is required) against that.

And then using that study semester as part of the semesters completed to say that I've exceeded my program length.

Anyone else facing this. Anyone solved this?

Erectile dysfunction

On another subreddit, a youngish woman was complaining that her last 4 sex partners who were all less than 40 had ED.

The explanations given range from porn addiction to poor diets but when I posted an article about a survey where 1 in 6 men admitted ED post covid infection, I got downvoted to hell.

Amazing how committed to denial of the seriousness of this infection some people are

50 [F4M] - If this town is just an apple, let me take a bite

Bored and open to a casual chat. I’m into medicine, writing, reading, travel, movies, unique life stories, and random interesting conversations. Favorite shows: Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, though I had feelings about the ending. Love dogs, don’t have one. Etc.

Bored tonight and open to a light, friendly chat. I’m into medicine, writing, movies, weird life stories, and random interesting conversations. Favorite shows: Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul (though I had feelings about the ending). Love dogs, don’t have one anymore. Etc.
