I know a guy (from the Pogo community here) in his mid-20s who is a HUGE Taylor fan. - ty97 Oct 21, 06:39 4
- I've listened to a bit of it. I love her and what I've heard so far. - Dark Callisto Oct 21, 06:45 3
  - Good, I'm glad you're enjoying it! -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 06:46 2
    - That's not coming at me! -- nm - Dark Callisto Oct 21, 06:49 1
      - I'm afraid that you'll white girl rap battle me and then I'll be in trouble! -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 06:59
After trying on 15 pairs of khakis last night I finally found a pair for the trip. Still finishing laundry. Then have to pack. I'm leaving today. - sycor Oct 21, 06:32 6
- Could you _be_ wearing any more pants? -- nm - Chandler Baron Oct 21, 06:53 1
  - I needed that chuckle. -- nm - sycor Oct 21, 07:20
- Enjoy yourselves! -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 06:48
- have a great time! -- nm - Andie Oct 21, 06:48

Nielsen's The Gauge September Report: Streaming 36.9%, Cable 33.8%, Broadcast 24.2%. YouTube (With YouTubeTV for the first time) 8%, Netlix 7.3%. -- (edited) - Inigo Oct 21, 06:26
We're acting like Taylor Swift broke spotify but in reality, Carly Rae Jepsen's new album just hit the platform too. - MDH Oct 21, 06:20 3
- Who? -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 06:28 2
  - I was confusing here with Rebecca Black and was about to make a Friday! Friday! joke :) -- nm - oblique Oct 21, 06:31 1
    - Delete this maybe -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 06:34
Taylor Swift has the top 14 songs on iTunes. -- nm - Tim Oct 21, 06:00 15
- She still charts well since it’s all broken due to streaming. But I’ll be curious if she can have a true hit for the first time since 2017. -- nm - MDH Oct 21, 06:14 6
  - Delicate missed the top ten but was her last real radio hit. - Tim Oct 21, 06:28
  - what was her last true hit? Shake It Off? -- nm - Andie Oct 21, 06:16 4
    - I'm giving her credit for "Look What You Made Me Do," but in reality it's probably Wildest Dreams from 2015. - MDH Oct 21, 06:18 3
      - it's sad, but in a strange way, she's now a celebrity and not a musician of note. -- nm - judge amanda jones Oct 21, 06:21 2
        
        I dunno…she gets critical acclaim for most everything. She’s doing it all. - Will Hunting Oct 21, 06:57
        
        I will say this: She had her first Top 10 hit in 2008. Maintaining relevancy in pop music is very difficult. - ty97 Oct 21, 06:26
- I was in a (CVS or Duane Reade, don't recall which) and a Taylor song was playing. I had never heard this song before but it was obviously Taylor. -- (edited) - ty97 Oct 21, 06:11 5
  - They updated the music recently in store (overall a solid improvement) but there are at least a dozen songs by Tay in rotation. -- nm - Tim Oct 21, 06:25
  - I think evermore and folklore are kind of noteworthy, but also kind of samesie samesie in a different way. I don't love antonoff so don't know that - judge amanda jones Oct 21, 06:20 2
    - I really liked Exile -- nm - Tim Oct 21, 06:32
    - Yeah, I'm not trying to knock her in any way. Her success is undeniable. -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 06:27
  - Agreed to the whole IM. -- nm - MDH Oct 21, 06:20
- she's still a thing? -- nm - decline Oct 21, 06:10
- Break up The Swift. -- nm - Barynn Oct 21, 06:06

  - Yesterday they wanted me to upgrade my Lima flight for $400. - spamlet Oct 21, 05:08 2
    - Would be tempting. Would be more tempting if they had internationally configured planes on the route though -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 05:17 1
      - Yeah it’s basically a little roomier premium economy on the 321neos. Not really enough to justify. -- nm - spamlet Oct 21, 05:22
Eliminator update: the 3 prizes the wife can choose from Sunday are: Trip for 2 to Cuba, free gas for a year or free groceries for a year - Beaker Oct 21, 04:42 5
- Not sure how it works but I'd go with free groceries for a year. -- nm - Krusty Oct 21, 04:45 4
  - we figure it is a set amount per week for both that and gas at a specific store (I'd definitely want to know how much is actually covered). -- nm - Beaker Oct 21, 04:46 3
    - Would be nice if it was $100/Week for either yearly option—in my mind $100/week>Cuba but if it was $50/wk<Cuba —$100/wk would help save for any trip -- nm - Flavorize Oct 21, 04:54 2
      - Trip for 4 could easily run up to 10 grand, although you have to want that vacation. -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 05:25 1
        
        we'd look into paying for the kids -- nm - Beaker Oct 21, 06:04
Per the discussion yesterday, this is the headline on CTV: Spot a spotted lanternfly? Photograph, then kill it, Canadian Food Inspection Agency says -- (link) - Beaker Oct 21, 04:40 5
- Obviously, we should be importing more cats to eat the lanternflies. -- nm - Barynn Oct 21, 05:35
- I stopped taking pics and reporting them as I was killing too many. There were days I'd kill 40+ in an afternoon. -- nm - Krusty Oct 21, 04:44 3
  - You're the Lanternimator -- nm* - oblique Oct 21, 05:30 2
    - :-) And I'm pretty sure it does little to nothing in stopping them. -- nm - Krusty Oct 21, 05:48 1
      - It’s still tremendously satisfying though. - znufrii, official Gen-Xer Oct 21, 06:41
Happy birthday to our beloved Trish! You're forever in our hearts! - Krusty Oct 21, 04:34 2

  - *sigh* okay, class, let’s start over from the beginning. Nazis are bad, okay? -- nm* - znufrii, official Gen-Xer Oct 21, 06:34
  - To add - an example of a group frenzy is when a bunch of people get mad and smash windows, loot stores and set fire to things. - Roger More Oct 21, 05:50
  - seems perfectly reasonable to say all Nazis are bad, as long as you're drawing a distinction between Nazis and Germans. -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 22:32
