So I've been obsessed with Brazil lately to the point where I watch television and film from there (learning Portuguese) and I have to say that I have never seen an appreciation or talk thread about Brazil, so I decided to start one because I want to see if any Brazilian ATRLers are on here, but I also want to talk and share more about pop culture & Brazilian culture, so yeah. Obrigado y Ola a todos vocês!

If Taylor Swift Albums were pop girls, who does each correspond to by success or their overall celebrity/life? Debut- Dua Lipa (a young pop star establishing her legacy) Fearless- Shania Twain (broke a lot of barriers in country music for females) Speak Now- Rihanna (massive success) Red- Adele (the heartbreak anthemist) 1989- Madonna (The Queen) Reputation- Britney Spears (Tabloid talk with some success and a legacy) Lover- Ariana Grande (colorful eras with massive success later in her career, a la cruel summer) Folklore- Billie Eilish (the artistic girlie) Evermore- Miley Cyrus (under appreciated artist/album) Midnights- Beyoncé (massive success and acclaim) TTPD- Lana Del Rey (for obvious reasons and it sounds similar to some of Lana's work)

Well are you? or does it depend on the situation

Who is your worstie?

This has been the week from hell. I came back from holiday last week only to find out my cat had some sort of mystery illness. I was riddled with anxiety as I thought it was going to be something serious like cancer, but it turned out to be a bacterial infection which is treatable with medication. I found this out on Wednesday and felt such a sense of relief. I then wake up on Thursday morning to find out my nephew has passed away. He had Down's syndrome and epilepsy but neither of those things ever got in the way of him living life to the fullest. He was the most resilient and loving person I've ever known. He'd immediately lift me out of any bad mood as he'd say the most hilarious things. My sister found him in his bed on Thursday morning and said that he just wouldn't wake up. She said he looked so peaceful like he was simply sleeping. This entire thing just doesn't feel real. It's as if I'm having an out of body experience and typing about somebody else. I just can't believe it. My entire family have been shattered into pieces, but I'm trying to stay as strong as I can so that I can be there to support my sister and her husband. I don't tend to post much about my family on here, as I am generally a private person, but I've became close with a few people recently and I didn't want to just disappear without saying anything. I'm taking a break from ATRL whilst I take the time to grieve but I have a solid circle of friends / family around me, so we'll take care of each other. I can't believe these photos were taken only last month. My sister told me that he kept asking her if he could come to the gym to train with me as he wanted big muscles like his uncle Jordan. I loved spending time with him and I felt so proud that he wanted to come to the gym with me. This was only the beginning. Why is life so cruel sometimes? I just really want to wake up from this nightmare. I don't know where you've gone, but I hope you're at peace and are still finding ways to laugh. Uncle Jordan loves you lots Archie. Thanks for being my hero. xx P.S - Please don't forget to tell your friends and family how much you love them whilst they're still here.

Inspired by this iconic quote: If you could live in any decade without the racists, which would it be and why? Personally, I would probably go with the 1950s. I've always been fascinated with pop culture at that time, especially with the Golden Age of Television.

i feel like i’ve seen this thread a couple times, but i can’t find it. so i’ll just start a new one. hey fitness gays, girls and they i’ve lowkey been obsessed with working out. i started in march, going 5 days a week. then last month I started going 6 days a week once I started seeing some slight progress. since the beginning i’ve been making protein shakes, and as of today i started creatine. if you’ve taken it before, how much more did you progress?

Ive been on a daily intermittent fast for 2 months now and i finally weighed myself. I lost 13 pounds. It was hard for the first week or so and took dedication but i was fasting everyday and only eating 2 times after 8pm. Sometimes id only eating 1 meal for a full 24 hour period. It was a goal to help tone and lose more body fat but im already naturally slim toned but i wanted to focus on face fat and ab definition while doing cardio. Thoughts? Have you had any similar success with fasting??

I created a few threads about my issues with this guy before so some of you are already familiar with the topic To sum it up - an incredibly hot guy is a team lead within my division at work. At times I have to work with him closely and he is the boss of all of my work buddies. Very chill and relaxed guy, loves to hang out and talk with everyone but me. Often excludes me from some gatherings or any work and non-work related thing. At times it was really hard for me, so I asked him to talk about it. He said its nothing personal and how I'm overeacting. After that he did start to hang out and communicate with me. Wasn't sure if it was out of pity or not but I did not care. A year later, he has NEVER been this horrible to me. No conversation at all, makes it hard for me to work with him, doesn't even say hi back to me. I feel like something's up and I have this need to talk to him about it again. But I'm aware its gonna make me look desperate. Bothering this guy for the second time. And tbh if he were ugly I'm not sure if it would've bothered me this much, I know, very shallow of me, but I cant help it. And yes, he is super straight. What should I do?

Florida!!! is a fine mixture of everything that makes Taylor Taylor, and not only that, but the fact that Florence truly elevated the song with her divine voice just makes it one of the best songs on TTPD.

I know he wanted to destroy our rights after that.

if he came up on your dating app would you? If he wasn't a famous billionaire, just some random guy working in it/with computers. now would you??

The ads were posted on Instagram and used as physical posters in a couple of locations. A source close to the movie said the images help imagine the nationwide impact of the film's fictional war. "These are AI images inspired by the movie," a source said. "The entire movie is a big 'what if' and so we wanted to continue that thought on social — powerful imagery of iconic landmarks with that dystopian realism."
