He’s right, though I think Emily is skeptical about how genuine he is, because the woman he is defending is his girlfriend. So basically, would he still be defending her if they weren’t dating/didn’t know each other, purely for the principle of the matter, or would he be defending the dude who posted the screenshots…

To be honest, I can’t afford an Equinox/Soul Cycle membership, so I don’t have one I can cancel. But also with that in mind, there are also much cheaper gyms? I mean, I saw someone in the comment section of another article about this claiming that all other gyms are “lesser” than Equinox, but I highly doubt that’s the…

I’m addicted to the franchise, but it’s always interesting with what sorts of dating habits affect one’s chances of being on the show. In real life, dating around when you’re not in a serious, monogamous relationship isn’t a big deal. And really, going one date (possibly for closure, possibly to appease fans of the…

I think a lot of people go on the show to boost their instagram followers so they can make a career out of doing sponsored posts, but if people are aware enough about how the show is made, there may be a few who do it for love? Basically, for the two months or however long the show is filmed, the contestants are…

I kind of thought Tyler looked awkward when Hannah asked him out on live TV- I mean, he had a few months after filming stopped to get over her, it’d be completely understandable if he just wanted to move on. However, I thought he had a good shot at becoming the next bachelor, so if he wants the whole 15 minutes of…

I notice it on the rare occasion I go to some sports game/competition, but since I was in marching band in high school and college, I’m not used to it, because I’m used to playing the National Anthem instead of engaging in meaningless acts of patriotism in the stands. 

Also, one thing I’ve noticed is that even though the majority of the relationships formed on the shows don’t pan out (so far only one couple from The Bachelor actually got married, I think it’s up to 6 for The Bachelorette, though soon to be 7, and then a few couples from Bachelor in Paradise got married), a lot of…

Honestly, as much I wanted them to be together (even despite being aware of the spoilers for the season), I thought that too. Even though he seemed very much in love with her towards the end of the season, she did turn his proposal down and he had a few months after filming to lick his wounds and potentially get over…

Honestly, if it weren’t for Twitter, I feel like less people would still be as enthralled as they were back when the show first started. Being able to write snarky tweets and read other people’s snarky tweets about the show is like half of The Bachelor watching experience for a lot of people at this point.

I also think it would be Tyler, and while I do think he should get a bit more credit for being refreshingly feminist compared to most of the dudes who elect to go on this show, I really hope that I’m wrong and that it’s Mike. I mean, I certainly wouldn’t complain if Tyler was the bachelor, I just want it to be Mike…

This made laugh:

It looks like a book that my conservative uncle would have bought me back when I was young and he thought I was impressionable (but also, yeah sorry dude, what child is going to choose to read The Bill O’Reilly Book for Kids instead of let’s say Harry Potter?).

The author of that article also just recently published an entire book that I’m reading right now about how general, “one size fits all” data is really just data collected on men. Another thing mentioned in the book for instance, is how public transportation routes are often created only with people who tend to just…

Yeah, and like, there are white women who definitely did not vote for Donald Trump, but they also already don’t need any convincing to vote for his opponent and are also the kind of white people who don’t get angry/go all “not all white people” when we talk about how so many white people voted for Trump. I realize my…

Also rules they didn’t even follow on the show, because the producers made sure that Luke P (a contestant on this season of The Bachelorette) could continually gaslight his way to the top 4 despite being a walking collection of red flags when it comes to dating violence/abuse. 

This is just my opinion, but I think they could do both. However, I think that Planned Parenthood Federation of America should probably focus its messaging on abortion rights give the current political climate, while the local affiliates themselves can focus on the “we provide a wide array of services” messaging,…

For real, I’ve either watched and loved the shows on the list or have been planning on watching them. 

Oh wow, this dude got kicked off the show and no longer has the option of saying it’s the producers’ editing that makes him look like such a hypocritical d-bag, and he still decides that it’s in his best interests to be a gaslighting, hypocritical d-bag instead of just not engaging with someone who clearly doesn’t…

Ooh yes, I completely forgot to mention that! And am now remembering how one time airport security tried to take my nasal spray from me and I threw a tantrum and was like, “Please, don’t take it, I don’t want to catch a cold on the plane, for the love of god, please!”

Lol yeah, I wore masks on the subway for a little while since my immune system is currently a bit compromised (my doctors have said I don’t need to bother with the mask, though I sometimes still do put one on if someone right next to me is coughing), and it’s a good way to get strange looks and have people sit…
