I've seen overbuilt gym rats wearing mesh tank tops with gigantic arm holes on planes. Essentially shirtless. They were white (orange, actually), and I assume weren't required to put on a real shirt before flying.

I agree. I saw an older skinny white man in a mini-kilt with no underwear waiting in the gate area for his plane. He was flashing people by they way he sat and spread his legs. When he was reported to the gate agents, they just told us to sit somewhere else. After a few more complaints from others, they finally asked…

White lady here. I can attest that when I was in my 20s and 30s I wore outfits on planes that were identical to this woman’s outfit. No one batted an eye. And I often got upgraded to business class solely b/c I was young and pretty. I’m sure the male gate agents thought they were doing the businessmen seated next to…

If only that flight had a medical emergency in the air and the crew had to ask if there was a doctor on board. That would have been so perfect.

I’ve seen so much worse on white people (men and women) down here in the 9th level of hell. No one would flick an eye at her if she was white woman wearing that. Policing of black bodies with the sole goal of humiliating and demeaning us for taking up space is something that white people love to do.

That whole thing about the rest of us having to work extra hard to look as credible as a white person does for just showing the fuck up. Yep. This is it.

Why are you late to work?

Accurate. America is full of entitled cowards who are angry at how their lives have turned out who spend much of their lives in time and money trying to convince everyone—including themselves—that neither is true.

Bus passes.

Yeah, the 80's was a period of decay for the USSR... the economy was slow and all the post-war infrastructure was starting to crumble, the cars were still stuck in the 60's and 70's, and the government had no idea what they were doing. Furniture and certain home goods were persistently scarce, with people waiting in…

Trust me, those buildings were just as depressing when they were new.

Personally, I like that they’re not faking Russian accents, since it usually comes across as cartoonist. I suppose Russian actors would have been a good idea, but, then you have to find enough that can speak English well enough to really pull off all the parts.

They specifically chose a neighborhood in Vilnius that still has a high concentration of Soviet prefab concrete apartment blocks from the 1970s, which are basically identical to the ones in Pripyat. I read that the director wasn’t happy about the modern windows and patio enclosures added over the years, or aging/darken…

I feel you. Seriously. We were on this little dinky uncomfortable Soputhwest plane waiting to dock at Tampa AP. We had only shuttled in from Atlanta, but we got there early and had to wait for a place to unload. During that timje one woman used the lav FOUR TIMES in spite of the crew informing her that every time when…

But....you’ve already paid for...the.....

Tell them that they’re destroying environmentally unfriendly used-polystyrene pod creators and therefore helping Mother Nature, maybe they’ll drive their General Lee replica car off a cliff.

Only if it were done badly. No one is saying Leia and Ripley and Sarah Connor should not exist because they were written and directed by men.

You’d also believe that a 13 year old who’s been tortured and abused all her life by male figures would be less suspicious of girls and women. And yet!

I really did not like that scene where Eleven gets pissed off about Max. She hasn’t scene Mike in almost a year and he’s right in front of her, but she fucking leaves because he’s talking to another girl!? God, that pissed me off.

And when two female characters the same age meet, they’re positioned in opposition, and not as friends. Because there can be only girl, amirite? Eleven hating Max immediately really rubbed me the wrong way, especially because it’s implied she reacts to Max that way because she’s possessive of Mike. Aka bitches be…
