please don't drag me but a guy being a popgirl stan is such a turn-off, like you are automatically a sister for me am i perpetuating gender roles

So I came out of work pretty late at around 3am. And I was browsing Grindr and this empty profile messages me he asks me where I am because we were relatively near and I said the zone I am walking at that moment we exchange a few words and he talks about sharing pics. So I share a body pic and then he shares one as well, I am not interested and I politely reply I look for another kind of man. Well so he keeps insisting, he asks me if I'm at the river bed or the long walk full of vegetation near it. I don't replay and he keeps messaging me ominous things like he is getting closer and that he is going to catch me so I end up blocking him Turns out I suddenly feel nervous and uncomfortable so I decide to turn around and go back to my home so as I do that I see a glimpse of a shadow in the bushes far away, clearly a man with a hood. You could easily see and feel that he was observing me and I get nervous and I shopt straight back hom crossing the road so I try to play it off as if I hadn't realised but I can clarly see that he is marching my step on the other side of the road and I get really nervous. He eventually passes me and crosses the roads and makes ir seem like he is going to the direction on the right side of the road, I end up losing him because of a wall so I keep walking (looking back and should have turned around and went the oposite direction but I wouldnt hava mattered because there was really only forward at that point. So I get as far as I can and I thought he disappeared but no he was behind some bushes waiting for me at certain distance. So I notice I have my show lace undone and I use a bench to tie it and I take the chance to survey what was behind me and I could see him preying behind the bushes. I continue forward and I can see him walk behind him, like the guy wasnt even being subtle. I almost cried, I picked up the pace as soon as I saw some people in the distance. I didnt even want to turn around more but I did and I think I lost him, I checked on the other side on the vegetation forest side of the rode and couldnt see him and more passerbyes appeared so I felt I was safe, still I did a BIG diversion just in case he would actually find where I live This has actually been one of the scariest moments of my life, I feel dumb, but I actually teared up when I got safe home

What's your type and what type do you actually attract ? Do they overlap or are you struggling ?

What do you think? Is it okay or too much to pay for two music platforms? And what platforms do you use?

Will you switch it up for NüATRL? Anyway, you know what this thread is for.

As we stand on the cusp of unprecedented economic and climate challenges, whether it's morally acceptable to bring children into today's world becomes increasingly complex. Just a reminder, this is NOT a personal attack on anyone: I simply encourage everyone to share their opinions. Every viewpoint is valid, and I'm glad if you are planning to have children or already have children. What do you think? Discuss and keep it cute!

Hello fellow ATRL members! I'm currently in my final year of university studying Media and Communications. As part of my final year I need to do a dissertation. This is basically a 12,000 word research report on a topic related to my field of study. I've chosen to do mine on fan loyalty and artist image between two of the biggest names in Pop music in recent years – Beyoncé and Taylor Swift. Both are major Pop icons with hyperactive fanbases, which makes them suitable for my research. As part of my research I've chosen to do a questionnaire. This will allow me to get a better understanding of the dynamics between each artist and their respective fanbase. The majority of the questions are multiple choice, with a few open-ended as well. It should only really take 5 minutes to complete. Your response will be completely anonymous, and no personal information will be collected. Please note that you must be 18+ to participate. I would be so eternally grateful if you could take the time to complete this, as it will be very beneficial to my research! Thank you! You can find the questionnaire here: https://forms.gle/Ha87hFRNA4HRweKZ7

she KILLED her performance last night ... such an effortless performer her performance is also getting rave reviews ... MOTHER! she's here to STAY!

When there is an election in your country, in your province, in your state, in your city, do you vote ? For me, since I'm 18, I vote at every level of political (federal, provincial and municipal)

Be honest.

Coming out this fall during Oscar season. Best supp actress contender? Jlo is an amazing dramatic actress and this is quite a different role for her.

Which one of the big 3 movie/TV streaming services has the best catalog?

Well?

Well.

Often times on ATRL I see posts with simple opinions like "I don't like x song" "x album isn't good" getting downvoted. The post will not even be disrespectful or dragging an artist/music yet it will still receive downvotes. Is this a valid use of the downvote button? Are people who downvote opinions wrong to do so? Discuss.

Now, the title may seem facetious and the whole idea of making a thread like this on atrl dot net might seem deeply unserious, but in lieu of providing deeply personal and traumatic information (something that the folk on the site CANNOT be trusted with: see the literal banner), I figured I would just ask in this rather curt way. I have tried/am getting professional help, am "killing it" academically where I am (grad school, prestigious uni), and have the "respect" (whatever that means) of my peers/professors. I've tried a lot of things. Here's the kicker though: none of it matters. It makes no difference. I have been dealing with this gnawing, crippling depression for more than a decade now, and successive losses of people for like 4 years straight in my "prime" or whatever have irreparably changed me. I do not really care about love, friendship, or whatever and so the reverse is true. None of it really matters; and I have a very complicated (read: corrosive) relation to my body image/food which is also cratering big time, toxically. It is not as simple as going to the gym; I get lost in thoughts about the time I lost and all that and it just spirals. I actually do/did exercise quite a bit; it usually made me feel like **** because of the weight of lost time as opposed to the often-touted panacea of endorphins. So. This thread might be uncomfortable, and isn't an attempt either way to get validation — certainly nothing "changes" based on the anonymous comments on here; but there is some power (or perhaps, liberatory disregard?) in asking strangers whether it is ethical to go on when one truly believes a life worth living is out of the question. What has held me back is my family, with whom ties are strained but are bound, for better or worse, by shared trauma. I'm also not explicitly seeking out survival stories from y'all, but would welcome them if it felt natural. [I should also add this is more so a discussion, I am not at risk as we speak, ideation, for today. Not intent yet.]

I would say Amanda Seigfred. I think I heard her say it herself in an interview besides when she played Elizabeth Holmes. Every interview she gives Karen from mean girls imo. Also Nicolas Cage feels samey throughout. Anyone else?

Mine are - Paul Walker dated a 16-year old when he was 33 - Angelina Jolie mouth kissing her brother while wearing Billy Bob Thornton's blood around her neck - French President Emmanuel Macron met his wife when he was 15 y/o and she was in her 40s. - Neil Patrick Harris serving Amy Winehouse corpse cake at a party right after she died

Has there even been a time you tried a new look/hairstyle and everyone in your life told you it wasn't giving what you thought it was giving but you stick with it out of delusional rebellion? I'm kinda going through that and I empathize with Katy circa 2017

I have a 2 year plan in which I wanna lose weight slowly and HEALTHY. I dont need to lose it fast, and I also don't want to have a strict diet. I am doing CICO and I am mindful of what I eat everyday as long as I don't overdo my daily caloric intake. But what are some tips and tricks that helped yall? How did you deal with cravings, losing motivation, lacking discipline, setting goals, etc. Discuss! Also I don't wanna hear none of that low-carb ****. I know it works for some but I've tried it in the past and it absolutely is NOT for me.

You cannot deny the artistic beauty of this.
