Taylor Swift has that power to turn people into Swifties. I can say I became one & don't regret it, she's a brilliant artist 💞🎶

Nope. She doesn't

Honestly every single person has the potential to become a swiftie and eventually will, it’s all about finding the right introduction to her music then they become fascinated and go backwards through discography and realize she’s always been a genius.

[@teresitavelderrain7139]

I don’t know what is that thing about Taylor Swift’s songs that are so calming and reassuring in stressful times. I send off my youngest to study abroad and admits the stress of packing and repacking …her songs kept us calm, and focused. The “all to well 10 min version” is perfect for Keeping your Cool while trapped in Traffic jams …

When Stephen said Rome, I felt it! The most terrified I have ever been was as a passenger in an Italian friend’s car driving around Rome on a rainy night. She smoked, talked with her hands, and hardly glanced at the road- while cars came at us from all sides. Lanes either do not exist, or are merely vague suggestions. It was insane.

Correction to Mr. Stillar’s comment: Largest number of displaced people since WWII was (and still is) from Syria. We’ve known this for some time, yet unfortunately it’s not something the American media cares much about. It’s not a competition. What’s happening in Ukraine is horrible. Just giving equal weight to another very recent and devastating humanitarian tragedy.

[@Anne--Marie]

As another Syrian (2nd generation born here), thank you.

[@miklmiklmtrcycl6009]

Well said

[@xKhfan213x]

Don't take this the wrong way, what happened in Syria is a tragedy in its entirety... but to sit here and say it was worse then Ukraine isn't right. Yes if you look at the numbers, it was about 13 million syrian refugees in the span of the 11 year war. Ukraine has lost 12 million so far in like 8 months and is still rising. Tragedies aren't meant to be compared, it's not something I particularly like doing as I see every life having equal value in this world. Weather the loss of life, the loss of one's home and country or the loss of one's family, it is all terrible and heartbreaking, no matter the number of people suffering. Both Ukraine and Syria have had an extremely hard past, its not fair to sit here and say who is worse then who. ALL tragedies need to be remembered and stop being compared

[@KhaledAkbik]

@@xKhfan213x I wonder if you read the rest of my comment when you wrote this. I clearly said it’s not a competition and that what’s happening in Ukraine is tragic. I’m just shedding light at another, now mostly forgotten, humanitarian tragedy that’s still unfolding. Also, nothing wrong with correcting misinformation, even when it’s unintentional. I know Mr. Stillar’s heart is in the right place, but the facts are worth knowing nonetheless.

[@cheddarrayon6800]

I was in a popular ski town and had to drop my cousins off as they wanted to shop at a store. I actually enjoy parallel parking and have always done the "mirror to mirror, then mirror to bumper" trick (or version) of it. In this case, I found a nice spot, and in one swoop, parked right in there, and when we got out, the entire sidewalk applauded me, and several people said that was the best parallel parking job they'd ever seen. I mean, I was so proud lmao I remember it to this day

[@ixchelssong]

My first car was a fantastic one for parallel parking. I didn't understand how some found parallel parking difficult. Back then I could also swoop into and out of spaces, but not anymore. Unfortunately the cars I've had since then have *not been easy to park with! 😂

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

@@ixchelssong I didn't expect my comment to find traction haha.

[@EvesRevenge]

I was an amazing parallel parker when I lived in Chicago, as a poor law student without a garage or assigned spot. I also became a skilled at what I called, "A Taking," which was, ie, on the Kennedy, 5 lanes, getting over to the outside moving lanes, until 5 exits later, moving back, without causing anyone road rage, sometimes intentionally not using my blinker, situational aware of my options, and what was necessary to get to class on time time....and it always entailed, A Taking (of position and a lane)....so...learning to drive in a big city certainly prepares you for much of anything u might encounter in that respect. Ben needs to take her to an empty parking lot or similar in winter though, to spin out and learn when to turn the wheel the opposite direction on ice...which is truly the ultimate to learn when you live in a multi-season environment....AND a right of passage when you're a young Michigander.

Or, just maybe, here's a new idea, but how about the US *doesn't* do drone strikes so often? They alienate the locals where they are used, and they are notoriously prone to having operators not care about collateral damage, including civilian children. The strategy isn't working, so maybe stop trying to use tactics that would be called terrorist if done against our own against people, but are fine because we use them vs people the US blames 9/11 (while ignoring that it was more or less done by the saudis because that happens to be 'really fucking inconvenient when we depend on their oil')?
