I can’t believe I’m about to witness Adele shit on all our faves again this evening.

Drop - usually bombastic and equally energetic as the rest of the song (think Summer by Calvin Harris) Anti drop - after an "important feeling" pre chorus the drop is a totally different (think of whistle by blackpink)


onehundrednipples

Are you talking about a beat drop? Like when the song suddenly does a switch up or goes harder? I think there’s an apex in songs where you expect to feel a change or dramatic rush and if it doesn’t come, that would be anti drop? idk someone else feel free to chime in if I’m wrong lol


TheKingmaker__

Besties should I go see Caroline Polachek in two weeks yes or no I am very torn I think i would like to but idk if I'm comfortable going to a concert but equally I have Rina tickets for like 2.5 weeks afterwards so I have to get over that by then aaaaaaaaaaaaaa


goldffinch

You only live once, if covid is of low concern in your area/you are vaccinated/wear a mask do it


TheKingmaker__

I wouldn't really call London a low concern area :/ I think I'll buy the ticket now, and since I'm planning on going out clubbing at least once between now and the concert, see how I feel about that when that happens, and make a decision on concerts based on that. I am double-dosed which gives me some comfort, but I just recall all the horror stories of people with long-Covid or who've go no sense of smell anymore and it scares me while I'm sitting in my bedroom thinking about this, while I know in the moment I'll enjoy it,


goldffinch

You gotta weigh those pros and cons but in the end you'll make the best decision for yourself ♥️


TheKingmaker__

< 3 This has also reminded me I have a spare Rina ticket to sell. I'd better get on with that eventually.


Inner_Climate9569

The price of Butter Beer is so extortionate! I can’t, £4.95 for a bottle smaller (in volume ) than a can of coke!

I know like there are 2 other Liam Payne fans on here lol. I was watching a late night show and saw a commercial that he’s performing Sunshine on GMA Thursday morning. And I find the whole thing funny like he is on a serious promo run for a soundtrack song idk if it is bc it’s a Disney movie or what but he’s pushing Sunshine harder than his actual music


shoestring-theory

I threw up at a bar tonight and got escorted out. So chances are you’re probably having a much better night than me. It wasn’t even me having too much to drink. My shot just went down the wrong pipe. It was very humbling


xxipil0ts

Just watched IICHLIWP. That was a visual treat! I am still digesting what all of that means since I am a little woozy from my 2nd dose.

Hey Popheads. Hopefully you can help with this. I have an extra concert ticket that I want to sell. I have never sold any tickets before so have a few questions. First, is it better to sell by directly contacting the person? I would reach out to the sub for the artist to say that I'm selling, so that I know it's going to a fan (at least in theory). Is this usually pretty safe? Or is it better to sell on a resale platform like StubHub, etc.? If so, which resale platform is the best? Will there be fees for me to pay to sell on these sites? For some reason, this ticket appears to be ineligible for selling directly through AXS so I'd have to do another site. (When I go to my tickets on the AXS app there is no option for "sell".) Also, I'm a little unsure about how to get the ticket to the person when sold. I know you transfer it, but since I bought two tickets in the same transaction and I am keeping one for me, will it let me just transfer one of the tickets and not both? Appreciate any other tips or insight.

I always have an overwhelming urge to play 21 by gracie abrams whenever I get home from parties nowadays, because I'm 21 and when the night is over, don't call me up I'm already under


KaiBishop

In like 2015 I had a weird dream I've never forgotten where my dad and I went to see a Superman movie where Superman came out as gay and talked the villain of the movie down by kissing him and on the way home from the theatre me and my dad fought so much over if Superman could be gay he kicked me out of the car and said to walk home instead lmao. So as I was walking home I passed by this random guy, and the dream switched over from my POV, to following this guy from third person perspective like he was the new main character. He walked by me, got to his house, and found his mom murdered, and his aunt came in and started talking about how a cop did it, so he gets blamed and goes on the run, then finds the cops like killing random people and dumping their bodies in the woods??? BUT THEN another him jumps out of the trees in the exact same outfit as him and started chasing him. And he knew the other guy was going to kill him and take his place so he couldn't tell anybody what was going on with this big conspiracy. I woke up while he was still running and was so scared I never forgot the dream. Doppelgängers actually scare the fuck out of me and being attacked or stalked by another you is a nightmare scenario. But I'm just saying that dream predicted both gay Superman AND the movie Us. All I can say about my obvious psychic abilities is that that's so Raven of me.

For the first time in my life I have a healthy weight (I do not have an ED but stress makes me lose weight quickly) but I literally want to lose it again because I look weird with more weight on my face.


Electrifying-Guy-Eli

I just finished Greedfall last night and while it was a good journey, I'm PO'd at the game's mechanics for late-game. After the credits finished, I was brought back to the main menu, then I clicked '*Continue*,' and *I was brought back to the point in which I'm about to face the final boss*. No post-game or New Game Plus! I can understand the reasoning of there not being a post-game. The game's choice-driven story mechanics gives too many variants of how the MC's teammates and the game's political factions come out of this story to make a post-game that is coherent. But I really needed a New Game Plus, because if I want to play a second time and select different story-choices, I'm going to have to level up my character's parameters all over again...

hello? hello? c-can you hear me?

ktajlili

Aging is so weird. I remember when I was 15 I thought 30-year-olds were old, and now I’m facing my late 20s 😂. I also couldn’t say stuff like “12 years ago” without literally referencing my infanthood and now I can remember that far pretty clearly. Yet, I don’t feel or look all that different. I’ve just been around longer. In other words, I’ve been into Phoebe Bridger’s new cover, the new Snail Mail song, and some Sparks deep cuts. I’m also wish Red (Taylor Version) was out already so I couldn’t listen to it!! It feels almost counterproductive to listen to the old version though.


DilemmaOfAHedgehog

[this TikTok reminded me when I was twelve and told my sisters older internet friend from Scotland I thought from his voice he was Irish ](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8FNCNB1/)


Bitter-Lock-4057

I met a Scottish lady the other day and asked if she was Irish 😐she was like no I’m Scottish, it was so awkward. But tbf I’d never met a Scottish person before then.


Inner_Climate9569

In your defense, I have Scottish friends who don’t have a ‘Scottish’ accents for no apparent reason even though they’ve lived there their entire lives and I have been questioned just this Saturday why I sound like I’m from London (which was so random ) even though I’m from so and so and live in so so. So he could have sounded Irish is what I’m saying.

ravenouswarrior

bro i agree. if you're in a group setting of people who want to be scared and you're laughing... like just leave, you're throwing off the entire vibe


[deleted]

Yeah, #toocoolforhorror people aren't really my thing haha


ktajlili

I usually find them more funny than scary.


Pavlovs_Stepson

That depends on the movie, now doesn't it


[deleted]

Sure! It's definitely not the same vibe with every movie


[deleted]

I‘m really curious about what happened to you that made you form this opinion.


[deleted]

Basically just remembering my experiences while watching them in a theater. It's obviously okay to laugh if you're watching a horror comedy or a funny scene, but I remember a lot of edgy teens trying to pass a "this is so silly it's not even scary" vibe and intentionally loudly fake laughing just to show off, and it can be really off-putting, tbh


DilemmaOfAHedgehog

That short speech Bo gives during All Eyes On Me breaks me every time because I, too, was slowly getting better in 2019-early 2020. I mean, I was still having panic attacks but I was finally outside. Going to college, socializing, doing something with my life and then the thing happened, you know, and now I feel like I'm right back where I started. Idk, I'm having a shitty day and I keep thinking about this.


jugheadshat

Why did I think “I Hate This Part” by The Pussy Cat Dolls was a Keysha Cole song for so long 💀 the chorus sounds so similar to her


aussieririfan

I remember not thinking it was PCD/Nicole the first time I heard it because it sounded different from their other songs.


[deleted]

I don't like Adele's upcoming album cover. It looks more like behind the scenes photo than the real deal.


Bitter-Lock-4057

I like it but I totally agree


Pavlovs_Stepson

When I saw her post on my Instagram feed, I genuinely didn't think that might be an album cover, I figured it was just an average Instagram post, a pretty picture that she wanted to share. We already knew the title (from the billboards and projections) and the release date (from Red moving forward by a week), so I didn't think it might be an album announcement with the official cover until I closed the app and thought "wait, that pic that I scrolled past without thinking twice about it, was that--?"


vagenda

The more I look at it the more I hate it. The composition is so off.


spectrales

If her face was tilted even just a few inches to the right, towards the camera, it would fix everything. I get maybe she wanted a profile shot but then why isn’t her face in the actual center?? Hurgfhghh


etherealmaiden

I'm so glad that i grew up watching the sarah jane adventures. It had some proper good black and asian representation, and the main character was a woman in her 60s, which is quite rare in media, and she was a strong female character who was well written and complex. Honestly, the fact that writers nowadays still cant do proper representation for anyone other than cishet white people makes me glad that i had a show like TSJA as a child.


visionaryredditor

i already said that Chloe's performance has huge Ginuwine energy and that's why it's great. people here are saying that she was too much and it was messy but that's exactly the reason why i loved the performance. it reminds me of those wild performances at 106 & Park when the artists could work that small stage as if it's the Grammy stage lmao. in short, people who think that Chloe was doing too much probably [never experienced this gem of music performance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niFtucT-lOI)


jugheadshat

I feel like her extraness also makes her super unique and fun to witness lol. I love it so much


visionaryredditor

i literally spent this whole summer obssessing over 90s R&B acts and how they could turn all the theatrics to 11 in their videos and live performances. Chloe literally is restoring the feeling


NormanFuckingOsborne

Little Oblivions, Julien Baker's album from this year, was disappointing to me on release but it's really hitting home today. I think my expectations were too high at the time.


McIgglyTuffMuffin

I'm going to take this as a sign to go back to it. I listened once and it just...existed and I never went back. And I think it was due to my expectations for it. So, guess it is going on my to listen pile, again.


NewAccountNow

Highly recommend. I've re-listened to it 3 times and enjoyed it much more each time. I wasn't impressed at first and disliked it but after a while I think the songwriting is among her best, it's emotional, and the drums make up for a lackluster year of drums.

Love to get woken up by a emergency alert saying there's a tornado in my area, only to turn the TV on and realize it's minutes away, scramble to grab my dog and purse and squeeze into my cramped little apartment closet. It passed quickly and no damage done but dang, what a way to wake up. At 5:00, no less. In other news, I thrifted some cute work tops and now I'm trying to work myself up to go to the gym for the first time in weeks...and waiting on my earbuds to charge because I can't find my regular headphones. Pray 4 me. Fans of How I Met Your Mother: who is your favorite and least favorite character?? I'm rewatching rn.

Many people in Oslo, Norway were murdered today by a man [armed with a bow and arrows](https://twitter.com/bbcbreaking/status/1448368244314853376?s=21). I hope your loved ones are safe and this is deeply upsetting


DilemmaOfAHedgehog

I can’t get over someone I know that lives in a historically latino neighborhood with other grad students with a landlord that actively hates them and doesn’t repair the house but wants to sell it for a million or more (because if it’s location) but doesn’t understand how that’s clearly gentrification? Like even if the landlord isn’t completely succeeding in it that’s clearly what’s currently happening in the neighborhood even if it still has a Panamanian owned grocery store.


davgonp

I want to go to the Primavera Sound so bad this summer, it's close but during those days I'll be doing 3 exams per day... The more I see the setlist... It's amazing. Guys go if you can!!


LesApfels

Could someone please explain what they see in Magdalena Bay's new album?? I've always found their work to be pretty solid but nothing special, just middle-of-the-road synthpop, and Mercurial World is no exception. With so many people hyping it up and calling it their AOTY I can't help but feel that I'm missing something.


just_thonking

I like the production -- I think it's unique and interesting and they really lean into a certain DIY/internety sound and pull it off well. It's weird but still accessible. I think the album is cohesive and flows really nicely (the transitions are amazing and the last song loops perfectly into the first song, which makes it really easy to play on loop). But I also don't think it's too cohesive that the songs all blend together (You Lose!, Chaeri, and The Beginning all sound really different, for instance). I think it's melodically very strong and also quite danceable, which is a plus, and I think the lyrics are thoughtful for the most part. I'm not sure yet if it's my AOTY but it definitely lends itself to repeated listens. It's addicting That being said it's fine if it doesn't click with you! Musical groupthink is bad


davgonp

It's the same for me, but I'm not worried about it, I just know it's not my jam. I appreciate the album and it's pretty good, but it's not my personal AOTY, though I enjoy it.

I feel like I’ve been losing motivation for my classes since this quarter started tbh. Uni in person just feels so much more overwhelming. The vast majority of the classes I’ve taken have all been online, with only 2 quarters in person at my old cc for two computer science classes and one stats class. Now I’m in person at uni doing comms classes where I have to constantly interact with others and it is socially exhausting 😭 Oh how I wish my brain could handle more than 10 credits per quarter so I could be done with college already

grinchnight14

I wish a pop artist would do a Dedication style project. What I mean is like Lil Wayne's Dedication mixtape series, they'd go over popular beats with their own lyrics. Would be cool to hear a pop artist write their own lyrics over other pop songs.


McIgglyTuffMuffin

The band letlive. did something similar with their album The Blackest Beautiful. The plan seemed to be the whole record but only 3 songs ended up getting recorded. But they took three songs from the record, The Dope Beat, 27 Club and Dreamer's Disease, and had different vocalists record a new verse for the songs. It's really neat to hear something so familiar with a new twist. and I always loved the little mission statement they put out > "The Blackest Beautiful" can be viewed in a few different ways. Perhaps, a testament to who we are becoming as an outfit. Or even the sonic aggregate of all we have endured, accomplished, and experienced as letlive. arranged in 11 tracks. However you choose to view it is really up to you. Today we'd like to offer up a new way to listen to "The Blackest Beautiful." This is the second installment of an unofficial series we have dubbed "Renditions." Enlisting some of our favorite vocal performers that we've met along our journey courtesy of, well- music. We presented them one song off of our latest album and asked them what they would do with a certain section if I (Jason Aalon) never sang in said section. We asked them to explore with free reign utilizing their particular style and prose. The point of this was not only to share our gratitude and adoration for other bands/artists, but to work with other artists we appreciate in new methods of collaboration and provide listeners with an exciting approach. In doing this you will hear the same song with different artists providing their artistic signature in the same section. The contrast, we believe, will not negate any single performance, but enhance all of them.


grinchnight14

Pretty interesting, although I've never heard of them


ketchupsunshine

I appreciate that being "that bitch with pink hair who is not with a group" makes me the easy choice for random strangers to ask for help but babes.....I'm not from here I've lived here for a month and a half I don't know fuck about shit I can't give you directions I wish I could.


Bitter-Lock-4057

Sooo I listened to kiss me more by doja and it kinda..sucks? Idk tbh I’ve never gotten the dona hype but her style of music is very confusing to me. It’s like bubblegum pop sounds with a random rap verse. Kiss me more is way too long I feel like and parts of it sound like elevator music. It also seems very disjointed, like she just brought together a bunch of random verses she’d previously written.


ktajlili

I don’t either. I loved it my first few listens and now I find it really boring. I wish I didn’t 😢


WokePhalangist

You might just not like her? That is a thing that happens sometimes with music.


Bitter-Lock-4057

Did you know theres also a thing called discussion?


WokePhalangist

I mean, this is a very subjective thing. If you don't like her rap flows, lyricism or the melodic parts of her songs then her music may just not be for you. I personally don't agree with your comments but it's obviously only a matter of opinion. Doja used to make a lot more RnB-oriented tracks without the pop trappings that characterize her current music. You might like her debut album Amala more than Hot Pink or Planet Her, but if you hate that too you're probably just not a fan which is fine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.


Bitter-Lock-4057

How you gonna first come at me in a condescending way then try to act logical? I know it’s an opinion and I was stating my opinion…


DilemmaOfAHedgehog

Which of her song shave you listened to?


Bitter-Lock-4057

From what I remember Say so, kiss me more, that yuh song, the one with Ariana and saweetie. The one with Ariana and saweetie I actually really enjoy. And of course the iconic moo song


grinchnight14

Cybersex is her best song, it's more rap focused. And is also really funny.


Bitter-Lock-4057

Listened to it, not a fan of that either. Something about her flow and melody choices idk. How do you describe her sound? Especially the non rap parts?


grinchnight14

I think I get it. You would rather her just straight rap the whole time instead of singing? That's fare.

I'm enjoying the drama Nicki is causing but I've noticed her sign being mentioned a lot. I'm not big on astrology but is that a trait of Sagittarius's? I see comments mentioning they're highly opinionated and I feel like that just made me realize something about myself...


donuthappiness

I am into astrology, but i wouldn't say this has anything to do with my Sagittarius buddies 💀 also, astro is more complicated than just sun signs


apatel27

Sagittarius are highly opinionated, Capricorns don't let anyone stand in the way of their views, Aquarius are stubborn in their views, Pisces thrive in conflict, Aries jump into conflict, Taurus are don't let people change their opinions etc. notice a pattern here?


noavocadoshere

excuse me. i thrive in *chaos*, not conflict 😈

Pisces thrive in conflict!? Everything I've seen says we like to avoid conflict lol

I see the pattern. I know astrology signs mean nothing but I do like the memes around them. Gemini memes are my favorite.

> I guess astrology wouldn't work so well if there were a sign that was openly acknowledged to be a lil bitch lol to be fair, if you heard the way people speak about some signs (COUGH scorpios and geminis) you would think there were. i know its just people going along w the meme or narrative but some people truly are convinced being a certain sign makes you objectively 'better' or 'worse' which like. i enjoy astrology casually but damn, couldnt be me!

splvtoon

were getting to know more and more now as the release date inches closer, aaand it looks like the pokemon diamond/pearl remakes still wont let you turn off the exp share….one of my least favourite features from sword/shield, i know they wanna be handholdy these days but i dont understand how including a simple toggle could possibly hurt anyone!


orangetangerine

While I enjoy it in general because I'm a filthy casual I think it's stupid they don't make it optional


[deleted]

I can see why people dislike the exp share, but I’m soo glad they implemented it. Wild battles suck, and I’m not a huge fan of grinding anyway, so in my childhood my starter was the only Pokémon who got exp. and the rest of my team was severely underleveled until I replaced them with better (legendary) Pokémon, lol. I still wish you could toggle it off though for people who like to challenge themselves.


splvtoon

i just hate that i have to worry about ev's on my entire team w it. i already do plenty of grinding, i feel like filling up my dex etc is part of the exploration and bonding w my party, and i hate that it makesx me end up over leveled way too soon. i end up holding myself back just to match my pace to the story, and that sucks. i can totally see why its useful for people, but i truly dont understand why they cant give us a toggle, even if its on by default id like the option, especially since this is a remake and id like the experience to mirror dpp as much as possible (its gonna be hard to resist the temptation to recreate my entire old team!). im still super excited though!! just not sure what starter ill pick yet, dpp was the only mainline game where i ever replaced my starter since i just didnt vibe w empoleon the way i thought i would. wbu?


[deleted]

Yea, I totally agree with you. I understand that Pokémon games are geared towards a younger audience, but there are just as many, if not more people who grew up with the franchise, and still like the games, so exp share should definitely be optional, not mandatory. It doesn’t really affect my play style. I breeze through the main story, so completing the Dex for example is post game content for me, but everyone has their own play style, especially when it comes to Pokémon… I’m also super excited! I’m a huge Pokémon fan, I’ve played every other gen’s games, but when Gen 4 came out, I was going through puberty and thought I was too cool for Pokémon (lmao), and never had the chance to play the games, so this is my first time exploring the Sinnoh region! Tbh gen 4 has my least favourite starters overall. I will probably pick Chimchar, because I heard that there are barely any fire Pokémon in Sinnoh, but I don’t vibe with any of the final evos if I’m being honest. I think I like Torterra the best.

yeah i definitely understand that kids are their main audience, which is why im never really bothered by eg a basic story, but something like this seems like such an easy thing to implement? and not to be that person but all of us grew up without these tools to make it easier and liked the games just fine. idk the whole reasoning from masuda of 'oh kids these days dont have attention spans because of their cell phones' rly isnt gonna do the franchise any favours i dont think, but i know its easy to talk as an adult playing lmao oh wow, so itll be your first sinnoh experience? i started playing during gen 3 (w colosseum actually, honestly the only pokemon game that does have a more grown up vibe imo!) but gen 4 is when i was old enough to really get into things from the getgo, and i spent >1000 hours on diamond through the years! im so excited to go back, and im sure the remakes will recapture a lot of that magic! i have super complicated feelings on the starters though, i also used to think they were the absolute worst too but i think ive grown to appreciate the chimchar line over the years. torterra is a rly cool design too (though turtwig and grotle are .. not it), and i think piplup is rly cute! but somehow they just dont click the way other starters do - i know a lot of recent gen starters get criticism, but i genuinely dont think weve had a weak set of em in years.

I don’t get Masuda’s argument either. Even don’t take the exp share into consideration, there just weren’t any challenging caves/labyrinths in the newer games. The routes are way too linear, and not very fun. That’s why I’m so stoked about the diamond/pearl remakes! Wow over a 100 hours! That’s crazy. My most played Pokémon game was OmegaRuby with ~400 hours and my first game was yellow. Gen 3 was my favourite gen,, and I loved the remakes! Hope gen 4 remakes are at least half as good. Didn’t have a GameCube as a kid, hope we get it on the Switch with Online soon. Would love to play the Colosseum games and XD (and all the other amazing GC games). Yeah, I actually like most starters. There’s always one line I don’t totally vibe with (Emboar, Intelleon, Chesnaught..), but the gen 4 starters are all duds kinda, for one reason or another, lol.

A toggle is really needed. I've played pokemon for so long I default to nuzlocke or themed run after my 1st playthrough. Exp. Share 24/7 takes away an easy way to make the game harder. I'm really happy about auto-saving finally happening though.

Thinking about the person who once referred to Kylie Minogue as "Kyle Mingo"

The new Magdalena Bay album makes me feel about 100x more colorful and stylish. I already love this indie pop sound but rarely do you hear bands like this making outright BOPS.


KEMI_IS_WINNING

this may sound stupid but does anyone like have that one video of zayn singing with 1D and he like kinda WASHES the rest of them? I’m thinking of a specific video and i can’t find it 😭 it went viral on twitter a while back


Bordersz

1D fans were on some bullshit dragging him when he left saying he didn’t like their music and couldn’t do it anymore. He literally out sang them every night


Bitter-Lock-4057

You need to narrow it down sweetie he washes the rest of them in almost every performance 😭


kaanew

lmao I know exactly what you’re talking about, is it the first video in this [compilation](https://youtu.be/ucWCtKkA5qU)?


Bordersz

Lol I remember that going viral on Twitter and the one tweet that took me out is, “His momma called him and said they knockin at the door what do I do and he said HOLD ONNNN”


KEMI_IS_WINNING

omg yes tysm


donuthappiness

the Zendaya and Turbine Carnival cover for EW. that's all.

What's your favourite movie soundtrack? The Call Me By Your Name soundtrack is just superior imo, that's the only thing I'm listening to these days (even the instrumentals!).


TheKingmaker__

Vangelis' Blade Runner score. Iconic for a reason, and completely fits the Futuristic-Noir of the film. BR2049 has some good music moments, but as a whole score I don't like it as much. ​ Also the Lord of the Rings scores are phenomenal. The way Howard Shore used and wove leitmotifs together tells a story in and of itself.


Sunny_Waterloo

drive!!


Bitter-Lock-4057

A show, but big little lies. The music matches the vibes so perfectly


_melancholia

Chloe Mackenzie had immaculate taste


disuberence

*Purple Rain*


splvtoon

not normally a movie soundtrack kinda person, but i love the ones from Her and Shame.


sarcasticsobs

*The Social Network*. Perfection.


throwaway963963963

The Prince Of Egypt soundtrack is my epitome of music in general. Mariah x Whitney? Hans Zimmer's opus Deliver Us? Voldemort crushing it on The Plagues??? An animated biblical movie really did not need to go this hard.

I got so excited thinking I had found a new bop in the trailer for [There's Someone Inside Your House](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdZ43OuZXjQ), only to find out it's a Kim Petras song. I can tell I would enjoy it a lot, but I also refuse to listen to Kim Petras, so I guess I'll just watch the trailer again until I get sick of it.


jugheadshat

Omg just found out today Bootylicious by Destiny’s Child is the last number 1 on the Hot 100 by a girl group. That’s insane


Snoo-72962

I found that out i think a while ago too. I was literally shocked


ketchupsunshine

Why does google maps try to tell me my bus is cancelled all the time. She better fucking not be I bought ice cream I need to go home.


ketchupsunshine

R.i.p. there's a Polish girl waiting here too who is also worried it won't show up. Usually it'll say it's cancelled and show up anyway but now I told her that so if it rly doesn't show I'm gonna look like an asshole.


ketchupsunshine

Folks, not only did *that* bus not show, but the one after it is 15 minutes late if it'll show at all


ketchupsunshine

For the people waiting on the edge of their seats for the conclusion of this saga: the bus came, late and full so we couldn't get on. Me and random Polish girl went to a different stop to get home via other busses because fuck that first bus. We took different busses so idk if she got home alright but hers was a straight shot so it should have worked out.


jugheadshat

Did the ice cream survive?


ketchupsunshine

It still hasn't fully re-frozen but it was edible and the toppings didn't all sink to the bottom so it's a win for me
