The beauty of westworld is that you can watch an entire season and still not have a full understanding of what is actually going on.

Remember when Patty Jenkins was Thor 2's director and was replaced with Alan Taylor? And Portman was pissed and started to get the “difficult” label way back in early 2010s because she was promised a woman as director, which was why she agreed to do Marvel, and then the “Jane” character disappears under Taika? So…
“You did something about a complex, huge problem, but it didn’t fix the entire problem, so the thing you did is WORSE than doing nothing at all!!!”
Y’all, is 50 all that old? JLo could run a marathon on a 5 second notice if she had her shoes with her. She’s physically fit. She’s obviously conventionally attractive (not that that matters when it comes to sexuality- it really doesn’t). Why are we surprised women of any age are sexual beings? Really?
I don’t get Jennifer Weiner’s point at all. Pretty much everyone is hotter now than they would have been at the same age in earlier decades. My mom, at 67, looks better than Blanche did. We wear sunscreen now, and don’t settle for old lady hair cuts at 45 anymore.
But this apps purpose was to literally take a picture of a piece of paper and transmit it. It was completely necessary and gave almost no advantages over a simple phone call (or hell, text message, email).
Different societies have different gender norms, stereotypes, expectations, taboos, etc. Something that’s considered typically masculine in one place can be seen as typically feminine in another. Or during another time in history. A society develops ideas about what is considered feminine and masculine, as well as…
Gotta get it up early for different countries, if we don’t people start posting spoilers everywhere else on the site...just makes our lives a little easier.
I don’t have anything made with leather or canvas. I have a degree in art history, an eye for design and I’ve been collecting 50ies pieces for years. I know what I’m doing, but thank you for mansplaining something I’m an expert at
This right here is why people don’t talk about mental issues. Some dipshit is going to equate it to intelligence. Look, your body sometimes reacts to outside stimuli in less than productive means. Yet if your brain does so, people want to think it’s because you’re ‘not smart’. You can’t ‘think’ your way out of an…
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, proudly:
Worse is the tendency to create passwords that are easy to remember and, therefore, easier for password crackers to guess, making an account susceptible to brute-force attacks.
I wouldn’t go blaming streaming and Netflix for the failure of independent theaters and the struggles even the chains are having. Those problems have been on going for longer than streaming has been a thing. Fuck it was a major topic back when I was in college and Netflix had just launched as the DVD by mail service.
T…
My Grandfather died on Christmas day so now, whenever I feel overwhelmed by the noise and nonsense I announce that I need to pray about Grandpa. I then retreat to a quiet room to have a nap or read.
Twenty or so years ago, I and my four brothers are at my grandmother’s house in a wealthy suburb of Boston. Our unmedicated, bipolar mother is there, and she’s agitated and starting to drink (she went through periods of thinking God had cured her of her bipolarity and would then abandon her meds, and why not a week…
My father died on Thanksgiving Day twenty years ago. Thanksgiving dinner didn’t happen that year, and neither did Christmas. We were very close and it was very traumatizing.
The last time I traveled for Thanksgiving was when we drove up to my uncle’s house when I was pregnant with my youngest child. We were a full two hours late because it took us almost 8 hours to get there in some of the worst traffic I have ever seen on Thanksgiving Day. I spent the entire drive with a pie on my lap,…
I think it’s also important to remember that 10-12 years ago, no one was available for constant texting, Facebook messaging, or video chatting. We’re now all suddenly supposed to be expected to drop everything for anyone the moment they reach out through any channel (and there are many!).
This is a really interesting question. I don’t think destigmatizing really works like that, unfortunately. Professional vanlifers destigmatize their own experience by tricking out their vans in the trappings of middle class, Pinterest-flavored prosperity — white countertops, succulents, Pendleton blankets, twinkly…
Prefatory remark: I worked in the diamond business for about 10 years. I know several of the people quoted in this article and even wrote a book with one of them.
