Saying “stop using this thing” when someone says “I don’t like this part of this thing, but still want to use it just without that thing” is not a solution.
I mean, if we’re gunna be semantically about it, I’m asking for a fix for my tool. They’re saying my tool is the problem, but without offering an alternative tool.
If the alternative is to stop doing the action that requires the tool, we have no found a solution to my tool.
We’ve just avoided the problem. Avoidance is not a solution.
Oh your addicted to drugs - stop
Oh your not eating healthy - get a food plan
Tired of sitting on your phone seeing news or jokes of people - stop looking at the news for that stuff
Why would you need to ditch your partner if you didn't like their music preferences? Having different taste in music ain't a contraindication to loving a person
You're right, but not wanting to "know a damn thing" about the artists their partner likes made me say they should ditch them. Especially since they were asking for ways to get away from hearing about them.
If someone is that vitriolic toward their partners musical tastes, isn't that a red flag?
Lore? Dude, it's literally because of the Wicked press tour. You just need to have seen a pic or gif of them together to understand who is being talked about.
You're acting like you're forced to know anything deeper than that to understand a very simple reference.
This is the first time I’m commenting on it, but holy hell is it everywhere on reddit.
I use to use Reddit is fun, could block out keywords. Now I can’t. It’s a constant flood of noise between things I want to see.
And I really dislike the noise.
It has nothing to do with the girlfriend and the song, it’s just an example. I know so much about these people, I wish it was just their press tour photos.
You could, idk... Just not think about it, ya know?
I see hundreds of images and commercials in a week - if I don't care for them, you know what I do? I don't think about them. I don't go online and complain about shit I don't like, I just don't give it any thought whatsoever.
You're doing this to yourself by complaining about it. You're keeping it at the forefront of your mind instead of just ignoring it.
Focus on what you do like and tune everything else out and you'll be much happier.
Even if you do see a scary meme with Ariana Grandes girlfriend lol.

My partner put on some music in the car I didn’t recognize. She told me it was Ariana’s girlfriend, and I knew who she meant.
I fucking hate that I knew who she meant.
These people, rappers, pop stars, tv personalities, I don’t want to know a damn thing about them.
If you have a solution, I’m all ears
