  1. Echoing Jimmy - I don’t think she’s an incredible singer but she is a songwriter and a performer and at this point I don’t think there’s any evidence besides “ attractive woman” to support the idea that she might not be the engine and main creative force behind the Taylor Swift empire.

  2. Obviously she’s *been* working with cowriters and producers and etc etc for a billion years but the “just marketing” thing would stick more if she was just a voice, imo. I think she’s a capable singer (to the same extent that she’s an absolute beauty) but for this much of a stretch and this many hit songs and this long as the apex pop predator you have to give her herself her proper credit. I remember You Belong With Me hitting right as I was graduating and here I am about to turn 40.

     

    also just cause this pic is board and thread appropriate and I’m already leaking dad thread/im a man stuff in here-

  3. I’ll fight anyone I don’t give a fuck. I legitimately like Taylor Swift and have mad respect for both her talent and her work ethic, and I think she gets way too much shit for dating like 7 guys in her twenties. My daughter loves Tay Tay and I think she’s a great role model.

     

    her cousins got her this shirt and I’ve tried really hard to explain how badass of a gift it is -

    her loog is in her closet and I heard strumming and singing - “Disney WOOOOOrrRrrRrLD! Disney Woooorld, oh Disney…..

    WORLD”

    I talk to her about how her songs are great and that she can write songs and sing them on stage like Daddy or Taylor Swift if she keeps it up.

  4. She was not able to get the car working and texted me to come get her after 7 minutes of me driving away from her ( she had said she thought she was in front of me, but I suspected she was not and turned out to be correct). She says she replaced the battery. I went out to the car and fucked around with it for a little bit and it started. Who knows. We made it.  Took an extra hour.

    Life will be less complicated if she just turns on Share My Location

     

    We used to have share location on but she would always text me to get her stuff from stores I was near.

    Got a really good deal so couldn't help myself. American Vintage II Strat in Sonic Blue.

    I love pastel fenders. It’s silly that I have … 7 of them and they’re all natural/blonde sunburst or black.

    .The left on this board can cheer this kind of stuff on all you want but it kills you with the average American that may not like Trump but will never get behind socialism and pronouns. Tidal wave of momentum is laughable.

    You don’t have to answer because you’ll get neg bombed if you admit it and if you don’t I won’t believe you anyways, but a) do you put yourself in this category and b) did you vote for Kamala? 
     

    if I were to guess, I would say that you lie even to yourself about being one of these mythical Americans and you would tell us that you didn’t vote at all but you actually voted for Trump.

    Pretty much sums up my thoughts, but too alarmist. Zohrans had their run along the West Coast 2018-22 and totally failed. Seems like a nice guy but the type of leader that is going to set us up for success.

  8. I have a 4 year old and an 18 month old and didn't know that this movie existed. I don't know if they dogged it because it's a bad movie but if they weren't trying to bury it, they failed at marketing this.

    I need some additional life insurance for me and the wife. We’ve got term policies that expire in the next couple of years and want to increase our coverage and extend the term. Current policies are with State Farm. Does anybody have any advice on companies that offer term life insurance?

    I think @C-Man is the potential surly expert here. He helped me a few years back.

    I’m slightly curious if I could get a better rate now. I’m older so my assumption is no (40 vs 36 or whenever it was) but my bloodwork/weight/etc is better. Either way, good to be covered with the kids.

     

    i feel like I’ve been oversharing, but I’m so proud of my daughter. She had a dance recital, which was great, but she loves her little brother so much and is such a good big sister. Has been forever. She came out and immediately gave her brother a big hug and then, unprompted, walked him over to a big tree to pose for pictures. So he’s covered for his next resume.

    I was prepared for a problem with jealousy or whatever and instead it has been one of the more joyful aspects of parenthood. And he idolizes her, copies everything she does.
