aita for playing taylor swift at work?

🎶🎼<- for an easy find

i work somewhere where you can basically play whatever you want and i have, let's go with, unique music taste. and sometimes i'll play this up by going 'i'm a lil sad i'm gonna play my happy song' and play something oddball. think born to be wild by fanfare ciocarlia.

here is where i might be the asshole.

i told the room at large that i wanted to listen to taylor swift and queued the song. one of my coworkers turns out to be a swiftie and got excited because i don't listen to music most people know. the song plays and it is taylor swift by enjoy music club. my coworker got a little sad and called me mean but, i didn't lie and it was just the one song.

aita? should i have played actual taylor swift?

(if anyone remembers i'm the sims music anon. i don't do that particular bit anymore, you gotta keep things fresh)

The most important lesson you’ll eventually learn 🎓

#the biggest thing I’ve learned in my adult life #is that no one actually knows what their doing #we’re all just faking it till me make it

already can't pretend to care about the male loneliness epidemic because it isn't real but listening to the way men actually talk about their friends/what they think friendship entails makes me care even less sorry

smartphone storage plateauing in favor of just storing everything in the cloud is such dogshit. i should be able to have like a fucking terabyte of data on my phone at this point. i hate the fucking cloud

being a fan of a friend's ocs is actually so humiliating....... like yes my favourite character rn is tragically doomed and a pillar of humanity who i think is relevant to the current world. you can find information about them on discord dot com and sometimes in late-night conversations with this guy i know. what the fuck

Keep seeing people ask why European students are not also protesting. Here is a brief list of some examples of students protesting in the countries USAmericans think of when they say "Europe". This doesn't include the student groups that I've seen participating in the regular (sometimes weekly) mass marches in some cities.

UK

Students from the University of Leeds and at Goldsmiths occupied campus buildings (Feb and March 2024)

Students also held a national strike day for Palestine (Feb 2024)

Students from colleges (~16-18 year olds) and universities staged walkouts in four different cities (Nov 2023)

Even children went out to protest (Feb 2024)

Students in London marched in December

SOAS students held a solidarity rally in October

France

Protests at Sciences Po have held several protests since November

At the Sorbonne too in November

These November protests were simultaneously held in universities across the country

And though the French love a good clash with riot police, there have also been campus candlelight vigils and flags put up

Spain

University students went on strike in October

Secondary school students did the same in November

Student organisations participated in a week of Basque-Palestinian solidarity in February (it feels so wrong to put them under this header in this context....)

Germany

Student protests (Feb)

And more (March)

And more (Nov, & this source article is awful btw)

Also an occupation of a campus building (December)

In an environment where pro-Palestinian views can get you into trouble

Italy

Heavy-handed policing in response to protesting secondary school students in Pisa (Feb)

Students interrupting conference in Turin (April)

More protests in Florence (Nov)

Mass protests in various cities in October

And students on hunger strike in Rome

& More!

Sit-ins on campus in Antwerp, Belgium (November)

Students involved in marches in Czechia (October)

Academics demanding Uppsala University (one of the spiritual homes for the academic study of peace and ending conflicts!) respond to the genocide

In sum, if you say "why aren't students in x country protesting too", the answer is they have been, you just only read USAmerican news
