Examples and proof of this?

Off the top of my head:

- Mary Jane Holland and Aura being fully finished instrumentals

- Perfect Illusion and Come To Mama being demos by Kevin Parker and Father John Misty

- Dianne Warren writing most of Till It Happens to you

You know the feeling when you come back from school excited to share the drawing you made but then your parents are fighting in the kitchen ?

At the (potentially lethal) risk of putting words into another person’s mouth, I think both she & I are finished bickering lmao

Honestly there was never really a substantive “argument” taking place to begin with anyway.

We were just trading barbs, there was some confusion about tone/vibe, I tried to clarify my meaning/perspective (while drunk, to be fair... sometimes I can be a lush)… & then we just got into the weeds about semantics/subtext (real &/or perceived).

I WILL take responsibility for bringing up a separate conversation from an unrelated thread in this one. Another thread derailed. That much I will apologize for

But seriously, if feelings are hurt/feathers are ruffled & a private convo needs to happen, my DMs are open... but again, I imagine both of us are bored by it now

Big picture, I support our president.

Sometimes I just want to shake her by the shoulders

You're hypersensitive, petty, hair-splitter... as noted

Feels awfully convenient to have introduced this criticism precisely to reduce any issue I had with the characterizations to being reflective of that criticism and creating a dynamic where any response basically retroactively justifies it.

If you are/were expecting a default apology for something, hold your breath

Was never expecting an apology as much as I was saying I thought it was an unnecessary jab when I was just calling out a specific behavior/dynamic. Not really sure what’s apparently unreasonable about that. I also, in my initial comment about mutual misreading, laid out how I felt in a way that was intended to leave room for the fact that we may just perceive hostility in these contexts somewhat differently (which is why I was taken aback by the list of pejoratives).
 

I don’t think it’s invalid that you would perceive my behavior in that light, but frontloading the comment with that characterization is pretty clearly an escalation from where it started (which is all I said in my initial reply) and framing any attempt to contest the  characterization as a reinforcement of the characterization is basically telling me to shut up and eat the sh*t, which I don’t think is particularly fair. 

Other than that, these responses are so thoroughly steeped in contempt that I’m not particularly interested in engaging with the rest of them. Nowhere did I (nor do I now) claim to be a victim here. All I said was I thought that the tone of the conversation had entered unproductive territory (which I think it indisputably has at this point) and that, if that was how it was going to continue, I didn’t want to engage.
 

Continuing to lob insults at me after that and then acting like me defending myself is somehow me being “unable to help myself” or being “petty” basically just creates a dynamic where you think you’re entitled to say whatever you want to me without having to take any reply seriously (“well, he’s just being petty, hypersensitive” etc.) which is basically a continuation of what I took issue with in the first place.

I mean, you unloaded pretty fiercely lmao. That being said, this was basically all that I was saying at the beginning. I was basically tired of the argument when it started but just didn’t really feel like absorbing those characterizations when I was trying to be gracious. No particular interest in relitigating it atp, but I did also write that last reply prior to seeing this lol

Don't exert yourself, my lawyers will be in touch with your lawyers

Spoiler

Real talk- if you want to talk in private, I'm down 📬

I don't want any bitterness to fester because I do enjoy you

If not, we can just chock this up to another gay shoving match

We will k*ll each other eventually... but it would be a shame to do it so soon

She'll do well on Broadway one day

But she is not a gifted film/tv actress

Less "actress" ...more "distractress"

I think she is really good for some characters, like The Countess for example 

[Morphine Prince 109,844]

Mayhem is lackluster, the era was boring, looked promising and fell flat. Skipped the tour and have ZERO regrets.

This album is responsible for me basically going from stan mode to casual fan. I can't even listen to Gaga as much after how letdown I felt by this album.

Hit me like crack in the 80's because this is the first time I'm very disappointed/not impressed/wasn't able to enjoy what I liked from the album for more than a few weeks

I've been waiting for her next era since March 2025 with nothing to actually look forward to.
