LENTILS! Of course. Why didn't I think of that!
LENTILS! Of course. Why didn't I think of that!
I'm judging you based on the words that you wrote down. If you think I misunderstood something—like, say, that you didn't say that you and every other person who wears "real" clothes would judge and dismiss people based on their yoga pants—then I'll be open to any sort of correction that you'd like to impart.
Oh, please. Now that you're pinned on an actual issue and have been called out for being a jerk, you think you can just bail out on the claim that you're working class? Okay. Go ahead.
My connections aren't strange at all—you're throwing shade at people, saying that you're gonna feel free to treat them like shit if they don't dress to your standards. No one knows what the fuck your standards are, dude. Bus drivers' uniforms? Not that cute in my experience. Poverty-stricken people? They have…
Heh. That was probably me.
So, um... Did you just admit to treating people badly based on how attractive you find their clothes? So, I guess it's fine for you to dump all over or ignore homeless people, bus drivers, people who out of circumstance have to shop at the Salvation Army? Because they aren't worth your time, right? Nice.
Why are sweats and flip flops gross? I mean, if you're just going out to hang out with friends, who cares? Certainly, it's not appropriate for every single bar—but at those bars, they'll likely have dress codes and not let you in if you're wearing sweats anyway. But at some casual neighborhood hangout, you still…
Dude. One word: linen. I'm also in Central Texas, and last summer I got myself a linen shirt that's sort of peasant-y styled. And it is the greatest thing in the world. I actually just scoured the internet last night looking for more linen shirts to buy.
Haha! Out of the people I know who watched B in Apt 23, most of them were hetero dudes. So, you're in good company. I mean, who doesn't love Tall Slut, No Panties? Come on!
Well, for sure in Apt 23, Chloe's a bit of a sociopath. But I think if that show was allowed to stay on the air, we probably would've seen her grow less and less self obsessed and at the same time seen June grow more and more assertive. I think the construct for the show was to show these 2 polar opposites and have…
OH MY GOD. THANK YOU. He destroys her business! That she's lovingly built her entire adult life! How is that romantic?
Oh, absolutely. But I think that's just as true when women's POV is given priority. I sort of wonder (based on absolutely nothing other than my own movie viewing over the last decade or so), whether female-led rom coms have lost their market share because all they are producing is formulaic tripe—and it was exciting…
True. Also, I think viewers are a lot more cynical and/or savvy these days. Probably due to the steady stream of information we consume. But, looking back at a lot of old rom coms is a little bit horrifying. I mean, Meg Ryan is a straight up stalker in Sleepless in Seattle—AND IT WORKS. And in the Proposal,…
EXACTLY. Because men can't be expected to empathize with women! Don't be silly! But women absolutely will empathize with a man in love! THE GENRE HAS EVOLVED. It is clearly at its pinnacle now that men are at the center, and is far more sophisticated. Oh, yeah, and its sales and viewer-interest-levels have…
I think that the point the article was making was exactly this—that romantic comedy as a genre has shifted—because it is now through the point of view of men. And the genre is hurting at the box office because of it. When women's POV was privileged in these movies, the genre was a powerhouse. Now, not so much. The…
Preach. I don't have severe PMS or PMDD, but I do suffer from depression, and I'll tell ya, hearing some "expert" claim that depression exists only in a cultural context? That makes me furious and, really, a little scared. So many people suffer from these types of mood disorders, and they already feel ashamed and…
Ah. I do math, not betting. And in math, these ratios are phrased backwards. It's hard to explain, but basically, if you're stating the odds either for or against an event, you have to place the odds in order—with the event occurring being the first number. So, if the odds of her being DTF are 7:1, out of 8 tries,…
Uh... Does DTF mean "down to fuck"? Because if so, then all of these ratios are backwards—I don't know if this was how the press release has them, or if it is a problem that was introduced when shaping this post, but they're all wrong. For instance, the mystery reader (the last lady-reader-type) is clearly the type…
I don't think the article made it seem like patenting TESTS was an issue at all. Just like you're saying, the author is questioning the ethics behind patenting naturally occurring things—stuff where there's no innovation involved.
This is more complicated than just some ladies who are sad that their craft projects didn't work out. This is another way of policing femininity (or another way that makes women feel as though their femininity is being policed). By the sheer volume of photos they're seeing on pinterest and by the idea that it is…
