hi stevepop shippers i arrive with more

[clarabowmp3]

Could you please predict for me when we will be done with the meathead?

stoppp 💀💀 honestly I didn’t expect them to have lasted till now but also I fully expected that she’d end up marrying joe so what do I/anyone rlly know lmao 🤡🤡

Fully explained below but tl;dr - it’s either until the travis team (i legit forgot the name i know the colour is red or smthhhh) keeps winning the Super Bowl/maintains a relatively good reputation OR until Taylor gets bored of him and looks for another shiny toy to make a complete fool of herself over (so like by this time next year) OR they get married and ride off into the sunset towards some happily ever after.

Howeverrr just for funsies: the way I see it is by working backwards, starting with if I see them getting married, and honestly…based on ttpd, leaning towards yes. When they will get married I have no inkling and I don’t even feel like speculating cuz of all those gross pregnancy/marriage rumours going around 🤢 I think they’ll get married cuz:

their careers are such that they’re both lifting the other up when they show up for games/concerts, there is no conflict of interest (ie no competition) cuz of the vastly different fields they’re in. Also, he was more established than joe at the start of their r/ship which makes for a very rosy picturesque love story image which at least some part of Taylor desires (based on her interviews, the fearless/speak now eras) but she’s also become quite jaded (as per ttpd) so maybe she thinks this is the closest she’s going to get to it

i also think she’s in no rush to leave a r/ship this comfortable after her last 2 emotionally complex ones. Not saying this is good or bad of her; I do understand why she would want to take it easy now (and possibly forever) but given how little they seem to have in common, I don’t think she can find this r/ship as emotionally fulfilling as she would want with a life partner, so I don’t see them sticking it out forever. Ofc I could be wrong and maybe she’s changed, but based on her track record travis does not seem the type of person Taylor Swift would want to spend the rest of her life with (girlie was cringing so hard in the viva las vegas clip)

Possible triggers for the breakup and why:

She finds someone else to obsess over and for some weird reason…she suddenly realises what a temper travis has? And how aggressive he is?? Cue the breakup songs/album, swifties dig up That Clip and go omggg how did we not see this he was abusing mother 😢😢, rinse and repeat until she (hopefully) finds some self-worth NOT tied to a man

travis’ team starts losing the Super Bowl/not doing all that well in other competitions. I think the main reason swiftie are kind of sweeping his messed up tweets and behaviour under the rug is cuz they won. But what abt if/when they stop winning? All that’s left is a hot-tempered football player who isn’t even an “all-star” (am I using that term correctly?) and she’s not going to like being associated with that/have that tarnish her brand. I find it so absurdly hilarious but she would rather be seen as problematic (re: M*tty) than unsuccessful, so she’d prob drop him if this happened

very unlikely, but maybe she breaks up with him and enjoys being single for a while? No reason for thinking this tho

ngl as long as this reply is, im kind of apathetic cuz she’s changed so much recently that im becoming less and less invested in her. I’m not even rlly looking forward to rep tv despite it being such a formative album for me cuz that version/image of taylor has been sooo tarnished by recent events yk? So idc what she does, mostly cuz if I had her as an actual friend I’d cut her out of my life SO fast

again, the usual disclaimers apply, idk her/them or anything abt their relationship, I am literally just a girl sipping her ginger ale and watching this train wreck of whatever taylor swiftTM has become 🍹🍹

[BNHA] Season 4 episode 1

Took a bit of a break from anime watching, then the realization that summer vacation is gonna end soon so am back lol

This is actually the season i stopped on, after this it's gonna be all new territory

Ah it's this episode with the camera quirk guy!

OH DAMN i did not remember mr camera man was a hottie 👀

They really didn't consider that maybe it was also a message to the next gen of pros or something, like it could also work

Ah yes, journalists trying to get the juicy tea for an eye catching story

Lmao "for a substantial fee of course" idk why that was kinda funny

... again, how tf is that grape shit still here

Pft- god his subtle sass is incredible, basically told aizawa "idc if u didn't let me in yet, my time's started"

Honestly, props the class 1a for being able to go thru their usual routine even around a stranger that's taking pics of them. I'd be so awkward in that situation even if i consented to it

... huh, ya know this is actually a good 1st episode for a new season, cuz it works as a form of recapping of everything that's happened until now, and also reminds us of all the characters. I'm def gonna need it lmao

Ok don't mind me but why does denki and shoto look even more adorb here hello?? If i recall correctly i think the animation here changed a lil bit? Or the better term is improved. Lmao if u can't tell, those 2 are one of my faves

Hol up did my boi sero really just did a spiderman grab on his food?? XD

HHHGSKS GOD SHOTO LOOKS SO PRETTY HSKGSHS they did not have to make his char intro more dramatic, literally on the roof, but im glad they did he. On another note, why tf is he on the roof lmao

It not much of a gut feeling no more when ya literally see deku and all might interacting right in front of you lol

HE KNOWS THE JIG IS UP DEKU- lol jk he ain't gonna out u to the media like that, he's one of the actually good journalists (he even apologized for stressing deku out cuz he knows this is a huge deal to him), we need more of ppl like him

LMAO BRUH WUT XDD could've warned him mate ya could've gotten a better pic lol

... hhhh that final bit of convo tho, now knowing wut sort of happens in season 6 cuz spoilers, wonder wat he was thinking when deku was in his vigilante phase. Hope they talk again, deku could use a journalist that wont try and twist stories for the views

PFT- AWWW that cute lol

My new fixation is bad poetry

and its making me think about how to define art and poetry and what makes poetry good etc but I can't go back and find my sophomore english teacher and rant about it so I'm making it yalls problem. but mr c if ur in here pls read also what do you mean thats one way to skin a hamster. thats not how it goes what are you talking abou

first of all, ive finally figured out my current definition of art: records of the human experience or just experience in general. so yes paintings and poetry but ALSO tiktoks or a decorated room. idc if you think its stupid there are remnants and references to human experiences ALL OVER those. so basically if it left a mark at any point, its art. maybe not always "good" or skilled, deep, etc but it is art (to me)

secondly, what is poetry? the same sophomore english teacher asked this at the beginning of a unit and the class was struggling. every time we listed a requirement for poetry he went "is that necessary though?". "it has to rhyme" "does it?" "it has to be deep" "does it" "it needs to have words!" ".....does it?" man idk i was 15 and sleep deprived

but now im less sleep deprived and i have an answer. I would consider poetry a spectrum (but not necessarily flexible. i wouldn't say you have to bend it's meaning to make something fit) but also playing with language, to be playful with it and have fun with it, to use it as a toy in a way. using language in a way different from its intended use. so writing a personal narrative about a deep topic? not poetry. maybe you had fun with it but thats still its main use. to make words rhyme, to alliterate, to use words just plain wrong? probably poetry. its still a spectrum. and im aware this means that saying something like "yew nork/glass fork" would count as a shitpost and poetry while "Ill love you and ill never stop loving you" doesnt and um i dont care i said what i said--

this would also mean most books and speeches would have little bits of poetry in there and i stand by that too. maybe the entire thing isnt poetry but bits of it could count. i came to this conclusion on the meaning of poetry because i saw too many "aesthetic" free verse poems that were just. tweets. you coulda just made it a sentence and posted it for free. there was no attempt to play with language. you just used it the way you were supposed to. its just a quote.

im definitely going to add more onto this about what i think poetry critics miss sometimes and why formal teaching of poetry is flawed but not all in one post bc its a lot. However i have one last concept to attempt to define. this one has always made me the angriest

GOOD VS BAD POETRY/ART

where do i even start. maybe we should just get rid of these terms completely and make people say what they mean. is it good or did he just use literary devices correctly. is it good or is it genuine. is it good or is it deep. is it good or is it entertaining. is it good or do you like it. is it good or is it popular. is it good or is it complex. is it good or is it creative.

ive been saying since i was i was maybe 12-13 that even though good does not have a solid stable meaning, there is still a sense of what good is. We know what its supposed to be. classical music, Edgar Allen Poe, Da Vinci are good. sure most people barely know or understand or care about these things other than one piece of work they can recall because they had to look at it in highschool that time and the teacher seemed to appreciate it. and we know that reality tv, messily hand drawn animals, and half assed near unintelligible tiktok skits are bad.

but....wait we like those though

ive come to the conclusion that while still shifting, "good"'s meaning in scholarly settings tends to come down to whatever those somethingth century european dudes and what the modern smart looking guys deemed intelligent. and in colloquial settings, what everyone likes.

many pretentious types will say rap is bad and the subject matter is crude and the same way im sure some old european guy would have said or has said traditional african music is too weird and primitive to be respectable.

now. i dont really listen to rap intentionally. if its in there its in there. I used to be pretentious and after changing i just never got too deep into it BUT. i listened to a Nicki Minaj song one time just to see and yeah it was not family friendly but dear god was it clever. the way she'd drop the most genius alliteration-personification-allegory-englishvocabword and then just keep it moving like im not gonna have to stop and ponder the seven layer reference to bedtime hanky panky. its smart. its creative. its complex. and so many rappers can write about the same topics over and over and still come back with a new way of phrasing it. its genuinely impressive

but so many still wouldn't consider it good.

the term good when it comes to art, while having somewhat of a meaning is still useless. make your own personal standards for what is important for you to see in art. its kind of silly for us to collectively decide "okay this art? we like it. this is good" and then go to a different community (age group, culture, race) and go "were going to show you the new gold standard for good! its what we liked! you dont do it like this?? then yours is bad!". historically thats never been a good move

what i find important with poetry (and by poetry i mostly mean song writing bc i dont even read poetry like that) tends to be "is it a poem? or a sentence/paragraph". everything other than that just has to do with my taste and what I prefer in the moment. and it goes the same for everyone else. there's no universal good or bad with art. its just what a dominant or culturally respected group of people said was important.

limericks are bad tho jesus told me/j

TL;DR: i think anything that records an experience is art. i think toying with language mostly makes it poetry, and i think its weird people create little boxes for good and bad and make everyone else adhere to it

[ihavenopersonalityuwu]

Wow so the day actually got worse somehow. We were behind all afternoon, all our shit turned red in the computers (which means we're not meeting deadlines so people think their meds are ready and they arent), and we ended the fucking day that way. In the red, with 60 scripts waiting to be filled the next morning. People kept getting mad at us bc there were constant problems that me and the cashier couldn't fix ourselves, one pharmacist who is shit at her job and one tech who was spread way too thin and doing way too much. He was covering bc we were gonna have no techs otherwise, thank god he was there though. The line of people wouldn't stop and there were problems with like all of their meds, so the ones who came earlier and we gave a time to come back were coming back to find their stuff not ready yet. I was freaking out, I can fill prescriptions now but I still don't really know what I'm doing, and my anxiety is so bad lately that I take forever to count and sometimes have to double count bc I'm scared I got it wrong, and it was just.. A really bad day. Kept getting really angry, which I was doing better with for awhile, but I just kept punching stuff here and there because I couldn't keep it under wraps. I would've started hitting my head or like breaking shit if I didn't do that, and I hate that feeling bc I make an idiot out of myself for it every time I lose control in front of people. I was just so done with the people, I couldn't make them happy no matter what I did and I had way too many act like dicks. The cashier wasn't doing what she should've been either, she's dual job coded for cashiering inside and outside the pharmacy so she has two supervisors, but she listened to the one who told her take an hour lunch and didn't even ask the pharmacy manager, even though she doesn't "have to" for a 12 hr shift like that person said, and in pharmacy we always take half hour lunches for a good reason. Also she had to take hers at a less than ideal time in order to space her shift correctly, then she takes what was definitely more than an hour so it fucked everything up so bad. I was really pissed and I couldn't hide it at all. Then she goes around cleaning everything when there's shit she should be doing, like you know, cashiering and sorting the prescription bags (we threw them up unsorted bc we were low on time, but that's not how it's supposed to be long term), and it was stressing me out because I'm doing the register when I'm supposed to be filling and none of the scripts are organized, so I don't know where anything is. Cleaning the windows was not that fucking important, but that's what she was doing the whole time. Then complained about the bags not being organized, which is what she should've been doing that whole time was sorting them! This is turning into a vent at this point but idc. Im just so done. And I have to do it all again tomorrow. But we have decent staffing, both in terms of numbers and people lol so it should be better. Thankfully we often have a tech and a pharmacist come an hour before opening to catch up on the previous days work, so we shouldn't start off in the red at the very least. And I come in an hour after opening so it shouldn't be too crazy when I come in.

The death of paid-for advertising and the rise of “influencer marketing”

Recent research will be revealing something blunt: a substantial reduction in the effectiveness and power of"traditional" paid advertisements. With the debut of social media and its own development as the communication medium, people are able to quickly and easily view and read exactly what peers, friends, actors, commentators, along with critical influencers have to say in regards to a item, a picture, new music, a restaurant, holiday, travel choices, a new company support a bank, an insurance provider...or anything it might be. Folks expect that the influencer more and their decision and decision is nowadays far more driven by this than by some bit of compensated for advertising.

In the past 5 yrs, there have been Quite a Few improvements which have established"Influencer Advertising" over the value and effectiveness of paid for advertising: Several analytics: 69% of customers say their favorite purchasing channel Is by Way of Social Networking and social networks -Accenture survey 74% mention peer reviewed recommendation as the Crucial influence on their purchase Choice -IDC Analysis 82 percent of Folks use Tips from people they understand to decide what to buy 58 percent of customers state that they are ready to share their encounters of the company or Brand -Ogilvy /TNS report Influencer Promoting currently creates the Maximum RoI of marketing activity with up to 6x yield for each $ spent Alongside all the optimistic advancements across Social media and IM there happen to be other advancements which are making paid and display to advertising significantly less appealing: The number of people using advertising blockers has become believed at 200m significance about 20 percent of most the on-line advertisements never even gets witnessed! This tendency was encouraged by the likes of Apple who allow thirdparty programmers to market advertisement blocking apps in its AppStore. The expenses of online advertising for example have grown substantially within the past five yrs significantly diminishing its RoI. Marketing is now dominated by the duopoly of both Google and also Facebook who take c.65 percent of all online ad-spend (using Google with the majority of this ). This duopoly have led a considerable rise in advertising costs, estimated to have climbed 300% in the last five yrs, with eg Google price tag /branded click costing up to 61% more at the last 1 2 months (re-search by SearchEngineLand). Programmatic advertisements which is intended to enhance frequency and reach in cost-effective rates can be currently resulting in more economical, much less effective ad-space that virtually a number of their prospective audience will likely see. Additionally this automated way to advertising has led in some ads being put in the inappropriate location eg along with incorrect or indecent content, forcing some Brands to draw from such a advertising approach. In the meantime,"IM" has now reached critical mass and also is now beginning to outperform on line screen in driving conversion and sales. Influencer promotion spent my youth starting with the birth of the major social networking platforms in 2007/8. Then some evangelists, outstanding and unprompted, beginning running a blog and then vlogging sharing their own feelings and comments on everything and anything involving the most recent brand new item launches from famous Brands. Burberry was one of those earliest ever to recognise the developing influence and number of followers those everyone was using and begun to formalise its technique, among those first to article Facebook, to utilize Twitter, and also to adopt societal media marketing and pro motion through influencers because its principal advertising and marketing tenet. All the additional luxury brands have to a certain degree or other today followed and they have set the pace and trends to all B2-C manufacturers to check at exactly what societal media and IM can perform for these and also to examine and trial how effective it could be. Let's Think about a Couple Casestudies: General public Desire General public Desire (www.publicdesire.com) is a successful on-line start-up operating in the footwear industry, based originally in great britain with a primary purchaser foundation of 16 into 25yr old women, priding itself on competitive pricing and informed use of social networking and IM. Even before its official launch, it set up on Insta-gram to gauge customer reaction and to tweak its own product and offer proposal. "When we first started, Insta-gram and influencers were actually taking away...we understood that the possibility there and that I believe clients today are somewhat more loyal to influencers and More Inclined to react to these , more so the Actual influencer who is also a user Instead of a celebrity who is obviously being compensated because of their acceptance" "Our Instagram accounts struck inch million followers this past calendar year, we have 35k on Twitter and not quite 100k around face book and also have a exact impressive Snapchat following as well. "We feel you need to check in wherever your visitors are and in which they want to be and to understand how tech and the way that social media marketing is changing. We want to be the very first to promote what we perform. So farin our industry, there's no other apparel merchant on line who is as focussed and powerful in social media even as we have been." -Co Founder Ateeq Akhlaq LifeBEAM Wearable tech organization LifeBEAM desired to launch a new AI-powered personal physical fitness product, Vi. They chose to produce a fresh advocacy group to raise attention for the kick-starter campaign these certainly were utilizing to invest in this undertaking. Through the power of social media-this became a excellent success. Over a hundred brand recommends signed-up to market the brand using the promise of absolutely free product samples, discounted purchase price . They're also provided with item samples, demos and invites to to see/private occasions. These 100 became committed"disciples" and were instrumental in raising the 1.6m Kickstarter necessary. Since IM gets even a developed advertising and marketing application, so employers are denying that they do not need to signup the largest star they're able to. It has a whole lot more concerning credibility, which has come to be the most recent buzz. Finding individuals who are new users and already keen advocates, they're the individuals who have the authenticity and believability that can correctly influence others' purchasing behaviour. Such people now are also being clarified as"micro-influencers", possibly with merely a small have an effect on network themselves but who collaborated using a multitude of similar others can produce a highly effective group. Manufacturers also are discovering that micro-influencers are easier to locate , quicker to sign-up and much more eloquent in exactly what they say (as opposed to a celebrity figure who might be more prone to mention something unscripted!) . Also these kinds of micro-influencers cost-less. Most will bill c. #a hundred and often less per branded post. On Facebook, the average micro-influencer fee is just a generally a great deal less compared to a typical $250 per branded Facebook submit. This usually means that for a effort price of devoting $5-k, a fresh could expect eg approximately 35 to a hundred Insta-gram articles that will hit c. 200k followers, or even approximately sixty to 200 Twitter posts which could reach around 300k or around 35 to 100 Facebook articles which will reach around 125k followers, or even any mix. Not just a significant investment, the capacity to easily trial and install, in case unsure out source to a few of the multitude of agencies that now offer social media IM platforms and campaigns, easy to track and quantify, and discovering and diluting the capacity of that wider group of people who love your product, want to tell people about it and also happy to have a little commission to complete this. To amount up here are some more good examples of IM: Glossier Glossier (www.glossier.com) can be just a US-based start-up attempting to sell skin and beauty care products. It is often ranked as"Most Innovative business" and owes much of its early achievements and cult following to ever-expanding network of micro-influencers. Instead of paying several large titles, Glossier relies on"ordinary folks" to disperse the term. "What's quite inspiring is this idea of every single woman can Turn into an influencer with us...we Finally Have an referral application to enable more influential followers to connect people and to provide product discounts and other incentives to Their Very Own networks" Unilever Unilever has been doing something like its Dove brand of skin care, trying to boost its goal user base to comment and blog on its own products. "we would like to focus on empowering material. Every year users acquire more informed and crucial plus they ask more of all brands. So such as we have developed our Dove self confidence venture. That has made a wealth of reviews, persuasive reports and also ideas. It also currently features intends to move in to 165 educational institutions annually to lead courses, activities and offer sources. The entire Self Esteem programme has reached 1.5 million folks in great britain...it is an conversation the newest is devoted to having with women, but we are also committed for this longer term as well as the upcoming generation." -Alison Fisher, Unilever Marketing Manager Hall-mark Hallmark, the greeting card provider, decided they needed to participate a great deal more effectively with their crowd and find strategies to encourage visits for their own internet site and use their collectible handmade cards. They chose to build an internet community of families who'd a massive numbers of followers and who enjoyed sharing and posting photos on line...they had a lot to select from! They invited them to combine with a program which will run on Instagram to talk about personal moments from their loved ones getaway. They were encouraged to present"frank glimpses" into their own family holiday traditions. In exchange for post these photos, they've been invited to share them by their particular followers and network also to insert hyperlinks to Hallmark's personalised homemade cards. You will find decorations for the best images and families had been given free use of Hallmark's personalised discounts and service to other merchandise. Whilst an easy task to prepare and implement, this IM campaign was highly popular and successful and was voted at the yearly Shorty awards as one of the ideal IM initiatives. The goal audience put in more than 25 million moments engaging with content. Hall mark realized a good share of voice in all the main element societal media by which everyone was sharing and posting holiday pictures. Most notably for its very first time for Hallmark it built at very inexpensive a influencer base and set of relationships which may be leveraged for future activity. One of the Absolute Most thorough research on the ROI of utilizing Influencers has been performed by Nielsen Catalina Solutions. They followed the promotion efforts of the Fortune 500 consumer goods company. Here are the results: Influencer marketing yields an Yearly ROI of 23, in Comparison to $4.30 on the brand's best performing banner ads For each 1, 000 viewpoints, affecting earned $285 in incremental sales Influencer campaigns brought in 11 times the ROI of traditional advertising over the Duration of annually "No wonder that 84% of Marketers at a latest survey said they proposed a minumum of a IM effort annually ." -Marketing Insider Group
