On July 21, 2017, Louis and Bebe Rexha released 'Back to You'
Louis sings 'I'm addicted to your drama, baby here we go again.'
On December 13, 2019, Harry released Fine Line, recorded between 2017-2019, with the track 'To Be So Lonely'. Harry repeatedly sings 'Don't call me baby again.'
On 31 January, 2020, Louis released Walls, and used 'babe' in one instance only-that of his addiction calling to him in 'Kill My Mind'.
He uses 'baby' just once, as well-in a song called 'Always You' that was recorded in February 2017, and left on the album as a gift to fans who'd been asking for a release of the song since he posted a 15 second snippet in August 2017.
After Harry asked, Louis never called him 'baby' again.
At work, we have the candy drawer, for when you need a sugary midafternoon pick-me-up. Everyone takes it in turns to bring stuff in - there's no official schedule or roster, you just dump whatever you bring in the drawer, and everyone raids it as they need a snack.
Out shopping the other day, I found a bag of individually wrapped chocolates, so I grabbed it to add to the candy drawer. I was honestly pretty excited about them - they were a European brand I didn't recognize, but they were all really good flavors like raspberry, pistachio, hazelnut, and dark chocolate orange, they were a really high percentage of cocoa, and I tend to prefer European chocolates to American - less likely to have butyric acid.
Well, I tossed them in the candy drawer and thought nothing of it...until I went to make myself tea around mid-day, and overheard a couple of my coworkers talking.
"Ugh, who brought in the generic shit chocolate?"
"Right? Name-brand or nothing, don't fob your cheap crap off on us."
When I checked at the end of the day, maybe two had been taken.
The kicker? Before I tossed in the chocolates, the candy drawer contained nothing but a handful of Smarties and half-melted Tootsie rolls. Enjoy your stale name-brand gunk, assholes. My chocolates will be accompanying me to board game night, where they will be more appreciated.
Bear in mind that research paper topics were due two weeks ago. I spent an entire class period teaching them how to find and narrow down a research paper topic. We did some prewriting. We talked through our topics as a class. Next meeting, everyone spent 15 minutes in pairs, asking questions about their partners' research topics to help them further focus their topics. All of the freewriting & prewriting we did over that time period were designed to help them get a good start on their papers.
For the research question assignment, Student A petulantly submitted, "I am writing about the topic of I don't know because I want to find out I don't know so I can help others understand I don't know."
Nice. Zero.
Today students got a chance to work on their papers in class with me there to answer questions, help with research issues, guide them to fix their thesis statements, etc. Student A had the gall to tell me that it was my fault that they still did not have a research paper topic chosen. (The other students are finishing outlines and beginning to draft.) They said, "I don't even know how to start the process." I reminded them that we spent a whole class period going over that. Student A snapped, "Well, I didn't understand it." I replied, "Why didn't you ask for help three weeks ago?" Student A rolled their eyes and snorted.
Note that this student was present for the aforementioned class period but--gasp--on their phone the whole time. I directed them to the PowerPoint we had used in class. (All of my PPTs are on the LMS.) They scrolled through it without reading and said, "This doesn't help at all."
Swallowing the urge to snark back at them, I tried asking questions to see what the student's interests were, as the choice of topic was completely up to them. They groan-sighed and snapped, "I need more than that to go on." They apparently have no hobbies, no interests, nothing they would like to learn more about, nothing they would like people to understand, nothing that is important to them at all. I am supposed to find a research topic for them.
Not gonna happen. Show some initiative.
I had to end the conversation with, "Look, I've done all I can to help you, and there is nothing more I can really say. You're just going to have to figure something out." Of course, I got the frustrated sigh.
I really wanted to tell the student to please grow up and stop acting like a third-grader who doesn't want to do their spelling homework.
This article includes a phrase that is new to me: “petulant vulnerability”. The definition of petulant is “childishly sulky or bad-tempered”. I believe that both Baldwins display petulant vulnerability to gain sympathy.
Even though it mainly discusses the male version of toxic behavior where the aggressor pretends to be the victim, it does mention the female version where racist Karens pretend to be victimized. The article also has political sections, but, I believe, it is accurate in that portrayal also.
Here are a couple quotes:
“They (Public displays of petulant vulnerability) show strikingly how this aggrieved, self-righteous mind-set privileges one’s own vulnerability over that of others: The crying killer doesn’t recognize the vulnerability of his victim.”
“Petulant vulnerability, however, uses the language of vulnerability as a cudgel. If true vulnerability means accepting change, personal fallibility, and the human condition of reliance on others, petulant vulnerability feigns emotional fragility as a means of retaining power.”
Hi, I just wanted to make a vent post. My mom and I used to be enmeshed and there was a lot of emotional and some physical incest between us while I was growing up. She always saw me as her mini-me and her world but in a codependent kind of way. That being said I do love my mom, but I'm married now and so we have boundaries in place.
I'm currently in the hospital with a pretty bad kidney infection. I've had a fever on and off for almost 10 days. At first I stayed home and my husband brought me medicine for my fever and did what he could with what little money we had.
We wanted to put off going to the hospital as long as we could because we don't have insurance and are pretty broke. My mother took this as an opportunity to talk so much shit on my husband. She said that he wasn't taking care of me properly and stuff like that. I did end up going to the hospital day before yesterday with a fever of 103.7 and they admitted me.
I've been keeping her up to date with what the doctors are saying and all that. She used to be a nurse when I was a kid. She googled what the doctors were telling me and suddenly was acting like she knew better than them and was telling me that they were treating me wrong and that they needed to be doing blah blah blah instead of the course of action they're currently taking.
She was upset with my husband for leaving the hospital the night before last even though he had been with me all day and needed to eat and get sleep so he could go to work. She was saying how she wanted to bring me to her house and take care of me and that he could visit maybe. Any time I try to tell her he's doing the best he can she just talks over me "Oh BLAAAAAH I don't wanna hear it!" And it seems like over the phone she's not concerned for me just manic and bossy. (She is diagnosed bipolar)
She even said she was gonna "tell her squad" (my very loud and disruptive aunts) that I'm in the hospital and that I'll just have to tell my husband to back off and let her and them have a day to visit me instead of him. (Current hospital visiting rules are one person a day) Which I DON'T want at all. They won't do anything except come in here and be loud and annoying. I've had to tell the nurses if my aunties come do not let them in.
Mom's even trying to blame my kidney infection on me drinking too much. In my early twenties I partied and got into some trouble, but I've cleaned up now that I have a husband. She always tries to make me out as some sort of rag

Love all the comments saying
“I work 12 hours a day in a windowless room and I’m fine.”
- You’re not fine.
- This is what Munger is training them for.
His solution to the housing crunch? Stuff more than 4,500 students into an 11-story warehouse-size building in which the overwhelming majority of the units — about 94% — do not have access to natural light or fresh air.
UC Santa Barbara’s leadership, which appears to be held hostage by Munger’s financial largesse, has developed an advanced case of Stockholm syndrome. In July, the university’s chancellor, Henry T. Yang, described the dorm as an “inspired and revolutionary design concept.”
------WHAT IS HE THINKING. NO WAY!!!
Its about finding out if the o-line can even be competent in run blocking or pass protection against a live opponent.
Letting Dalton plays first will show us if Matt Nagy actually has a functional offense. With Dalton the play design is going to have to work for it to be successful. With Fields he can just use his natural ability to make a s***** offense look good. Playing both guys is a great way to determine if we need to get his ass up out of here at the end of the year.
The thing that nobody is taking into account is the relationship with Andy Dalton's agent. We're about to head into an offseason with 50 plus million dollars in cap space and try to rebuild the team to best fit Justin's future. The last thing we should do is break promises with agents who probably have other clients we're going to want to bring in shortly.
Justin Fields should have never feel to us. The future is hella bright and Bears fans need to stop whining so damn much. We have Justin Fields for the next half decade. You can wait 4-6 more weeks.
I feel like the rulers of the Empire are such interesting figures, each one likely having moved at least the internal culture of the city forward or backwards with their rule. We know essentially nothing about day to day rulings for many emperors, and some of these people are survived by none of their written works.
Take Marcus Aurelius and his body of work for example; Meditations is still in print today and this figure is regarded quite well, at least academically. This alone says much about the people of the time, whom lived under the rule of Aurelius, for it shows that there was a perceived value and one of a positive nature. He is not seen negatively for owning slaves with which he surely acted sexually upon in the oppressive way Roman aristocrat men oft did.
All of this is to say that should the emperor himself be fit to rule, the fruits of his rule shall be enjoyed and passed down, unlike the unworthy who leave behind only suffering and shame and bloodshed.
No emperor besides perhaps Caligula comes to mind when shame and evil are conjured up in the mind. Why is that?
None of Nero’s plays survive, and for an emperor who died in disgrace and as an enemy to Rome itself, that makes sense in theory. Is it fair to assume the end of Nero reflects fairly of the way he lived?
Is it not possible that Nero was no bloodthirsty sociopath, but a powerful enemy of those who would one day bring about his doom would be very interested in painting him as treacherous.
We hear stories of Nero fiddling while Rome burnt and we know it’s untrue. In fact many tales about the burning of Rome seem to be categorically untrue. Nero was at his villa when he received word of the
Suetonius, L Cassius Dio, and Tacitus are writers we largely look to for any information they might have but as far as Nero is concerned perhaps it is best to remain healthily skeptical. Why would the writers, lost to us now, but so influential to these three men record such horrible deeds committed by the Emperor?
Perhaps Christians, as they viewed him to be the Antichrist, colored the pages about this man. Perhaps embittered Senators or aristocrats hired these men of letters for their propaganda.
It is clear that Nero was an evil man, but how is his evil original and distinct from other Roman men with power? Why is the the image of the Anti-Roman?
I am addicted to the pain
I wish I could say I was addicted to the apologies
But those never came
And I was addicted to the illusion
The screenplay you wrote til you split
But you made it clear that was my confusion
I was reading in to it
Through anger and sorrow
I loved with my whole heart, The whole time
While you twisted the narrative
to make the blame mine
You said that you loved
that I'd call your shit
But you couldn't stomach
When I really found it
Avoid and deflect
Run away, shift the blame
Gaslight and project
To escape your own pain
I know
I know it's hard To be a grown up
To reflect on your actions
To swallow and own up
To be kind when you're angry
fight through the futility
To take up for your self
And accountability
I know because I gave them all to you
I fucked up, made mistakes
Like all of us do
And I thought that enough
To receive your respect
But what you gave in return was
Deceit and neglect
You blame me for not asking consent
To talk and to process
When my patience was spent
It was you who could never look me in the eye
And say sorry I did that instead you deny
Call me out for last time
After I've made amends
And corrected behaviors
And broken the trends
You say guilt is the most useless emotion
Another shield that you carry
Like a noble promotion
Guilt is a feeling that good people get
When they hurt someone else
When they know regret
But youve risen above that lowly shame
A royal in blue, immune to the pain
Devoid the capacity to feel for others
Used Neruodivergence excuse for your druthers
The communication that wasn't
Is now all on me
While you left with another
Heart full and guilt free
I sat at our table, an adult and a peer
You dressed in a suit to cover your fear
Glitter and sparkle to deceive and beguile
Peas swirled with a fork like a petulant child
You cannot escape lies to yourself
While enjoying the spoils of my inner wealth
I Ioved you and still do, I hope you the best
Now I know what they do, and so will the rest

Edit: This is an open letter regarding the phenomena of over-reactions by the community over ill-researched seller issues, people should leave the OP of the other post alone. There will always be kids on the subreddit making overblown compaints without due diligence, the real issue is the community that endorse this behaviour.
So, I'm referring to this post, the newest in a long standing tradition of someone jumping to conclusions after not doing their research and incendiary dumb kids blowing it out of proportions because drama is the only thing that exists in a 16 year old's mind.
Taking the issue on face value, topburberry has product photos on his yupoo and did not promise accepting refunds.see edit. Under these conditions, if this kid received a jank item with no recourse, then it is on his cunt self for not informing himself as to the market he's in.
I'm not going to linger on the fact that he called the item's fabric poor quality without having it in hand, incorrectly assumed that retail shouldn't have a visible neck stitch line, made his points by comparing shitty grainy agent photos with commercial photos, failed to recognize that embroidery is always misrepresented on commercial photos and is very inconsistent irl(see stone island, moncler and canada goose who often fuck up embroidery on retail), and stated that a black line was missing when it's clearly visible on his own posted QC photo. Photos edited for contrast and clarity.
No, I'm going to focus on the very disingenuous act of accusing someone of misconduct, or even calling someone a fraud, thief or the likes without even trying to consult with the man himself. One is being stupid and the other is willfully dishonest.
It's rich hearing this from the group of people meme-ing about whiny karens while still being just a bunch of sensitive, low iq, angry bunch of little shits.
There should be a hard rule about making posts about accusing sellers of misconduct without putting in the due diligence. Absolute minimum of proving an attempt to contact the seller.
Imagine you're topburberry, an actual employed adult, and you've invested hundreds of hours and 10k+ of your own money into a business and a product, and then you wake up to being bankrupted by some vaping shithead and an army of howling monkeys.
... keep reading on reddit ➡And I get it. But we the viewers saw the Ava-Nik relationship. We know that she isn't pulling the strings or has him wrapped around her finger. We know that Nik is every bit if not more awful to her as she was to him. We also saw the legitmate change in their relationship. We saw her care about Nik wanting a relationship with Spencer. We also know she doesn't care about his money. So knowing all that, when they have Spencer say all the things he's saying and how she's just playing him and just wants his money and wants to drive a wedge between them, it falls on deaf ears for me. Now him being mad at her for the Valentine thing, yes. Doesn't justify what he did at all, but that's a logical stretch. And yes, there was a time that Nik hated Ava and she wanted his money. But like I said, two were playing that game. So if the notion is Spencer is still operating on that outdated information, then we need to hear that. Because otherwise he's getting no sympathy at all, and I'm rooting for him to be brought to his knees here.
You petulant ,pathethic cribabys love to complain about Elon Musk, but i love the man. Elon Musk is the inovator the world doens't deserve.This man built prolific eletric cars and eventually will build a private company based on space travel, but people admonish him? He made riches for so many people that risked investing in Tesla, but people ridicule him? The Elon Musk's innovative and enterpreneur spirit is advancing and pushing the frontiers of science, but you hate him? You little babys dont deserve Elon Musk and the world too. He receives too much criticisms in relation to the good he has done to the World. I hate Elon Musk hate in this group. I will always look and be inspired by Elon Musk's innovative spirit and passion for science. Elon Musk had done more good to this world than members this group will ever do - even 4 times more.
I was reminded of this story by a comment I saw earlier. The mailman my parents had when I was growing up was a total asshole. He was so awful it still pisses me off just thinking about it. For some reason, delivering packages just ruined his day, at least if they were too big for the mailbox.
Any time he had a package that didn’t fit the mailbox, he just sat in the street blasting his horn until someone came out to his vehicle and got it. If no one came out he made a big show out of coming to your door and pounding on it like he was on fire or something. Didn’t seem to occur to him that people may not be awake, available, or even home at the time he pulled up. My dad worked all hours and long shifts as a trucker and this guy used to ruin his sleep on a regular basis when he could have just left the package at the door. Half the town complained about this rude mf but he was able to keep his job due to small town politics aka fuckery.
As a teenager I once had the audacity to be in the shower when he pulled up and no one else was home. He did his usual routine, I didn’t even hear the horn. He pounded on the door so long and hard I thought my parents had died in a car accident or something (I swear not even the police knock that hard) so I threw on a towel, shampoo still in my hair, and dashed to the door in a panic, opened it relieved to see it was just the mailman…and he snapped “finally” and then shoved a huge box at me so fast that I almost dropped my towel, and huffed off back to his car. My relief turned to shock, anger, and finally pettiness.
This was near the beginning of the summer, meaning I was about to be at home pretty much every day at mail time. From then on, any time he had a package for us, which was relatively often as my brother had just discovered Amazon Prime, I refused to go out to his vehicle to get it. Sometimes, just to be a smartass, I would wave from the window while he honked. I also refused to answer the door for his childish pounding tantrum.
Instead, when he was almost back to his car, I would open the door as loudly as possible to make sure he saw me taking the package in. His face the first time was absolutely priceless. Other times, I would wait til he left to come outside, and I’d sit on the porch swing til he passed by the second time (it was a dead end street so he always had to turn around and come back), and I’d wave enthusiastically as he drove by. This went on for years bc he doubled down on his bad behavior
... keep reading on reddit ➡I just left a cashier position at a small cafe. The food is amazing, the decor is adorable, and the owner is a petty tyrant.
I ignored it when she overreacted to my "mistake" of pouring a dressing into a sauce bottle. Sauce bottles are smaller and apparently the distinction is very important? I never learned how or why. I ignored it when she prioritized chiding a coworker over resolving a mistake. There was a mixed up item for a customer picking up an order. I told the cashier whose immediate reaction was "But I read the order back to her!" The cashier told the owner whose immediate reaction was "This is why you have to read the order back!" I ignored it when she mentioned that the spoon cup at the coffee station needed to be filled, and when it slipped my mind for some reason, she exclaimed "when I said make sure there's always spoons here I meant it!"
I overlooked all of this for several reasons. It's a kitchen: busy kitchens don't have time for pleasantries, and that's okay. I was new: there was a lot more I needed to learn. I really liked the place: I was there for the long haul, so I was content to wait patiently and address these issues constructively. And then I got reprimanded for excessive bathroom usage.
I stood there, a grown-ass man, defending my decision to pee. I told her I wouldn't be changing my bathroom habits and asked how she wanted to handle that; she walked away and started making food. I almost quit on the spot, but as I said, I really liked the place, and I hoped there could some other resolution. I finished the shift. It was a slow day and I was told I could clock out early. The owner was talking with a customer and I asked her if, before I clocked out, she wanted to finish our earlier conversation. She snapped that I would have to wait because she was busy (lol). We chat and I restated that my restroom habits wouldn't be changing and asked how she wanted to proceed. She responded by complaining about the time I left early (I had food poisoning from elsewhere and vomited halfway into a shift my first week) and about how I make a lot of mistakes. I was certainly imperfect, and obviously I hadn't made any mistakes so big I had to be fired, but I realized there was little if any hope of resolving this constructively. I said "Maybe we should just call it then", and left.
I sent an email that night saying I'd be in the next Wednesday (the day before Thanksgiving) for my last paycheck. That was yesterday. I went in shortly before noon
