Slow motion train derailment? I like the odds. 

...a [guy] Grande has been dating for about seven months.

Maybe she wanted to feed her kids and keep a roof over their heads?

I was supposed to have a wedding in March 2021, and for a while (over summer mostly) I kept thinking “well, if people don’t want to travel or attend, I completely understand, it is their choice.” But as the date crept closer and things only got worse, I increasingly grew uncomfortable with the ethics of holding a…

You’re right. Great kicker, but the final line in that story is a gut punch that perfectly encapsulates why I’ve lost so much faith in Americans, for sure, and maybe humanity (for context, the photographer wasn’t told anyone had tested positive, and has asthma and 3 kids):

He also seems to have zero understanding of what “constitutional” means which qualifies him for the highest offices available.

It’s hard to like Cruise as a human being, but...he is right. Obviously, he’s an extremely rich man, so it’s difficult to support him when he talks about other people’s livelihoods, buuut... he is basically the driving force behind the MI franchise, so he is extremely involved, and the movie has been used as an…

Tom Cruise sucks but also I appreciate that he’s taking this seriously.

When was the last time you saw this level of judgment directed towards any of the countless celebrities and influencers who advertise flat tummy tea?

I am obsessed with James Hamblin who has a hilarious video about why juice cleansed are bad for you from a medical standpoint, but at one point he says something along the lines of “of course everyone says they feel better after a juice cleanse, they've just stopped starving themselves."

She is hurting everyone who believes the shit she's peddling. 

Just because you are OK with it doesn’t mean every survivor is OK with it. There’s a survivor right here in this thread that is not OK with it. Considering that you won’t get hurt if no one ever wishes rape on another person, but others might get hurt from seeing people wish rape on another person (no matter how…

I’ve never really understood the euphoria part. Maybe I’m just not a good candidate for these things, but whenever I’ve had to fast for medical procedures, I’m pretty angsty and grumpy and incapable of focusing on tasks. I wonder if people are just properly hydrating for the first time in a while when they do these…

Agreed. I also find her response completely disingenuous. She did a juice cleanse that is marketed as allowing the client to lose 15 lbs in 10 days, and showed before/after videos on TikTok. Promoting that shit on social media with a huge following is toxic regardless of your body type (especially because eating…

My kid can’t wait for Christmas break, because he plans to play the shit out of that game for most of it.

Yeah. I also think he was slipping into Johnny Depp “Dangerous bad boy genius actor” territory. Hollywood loovvess a dangerous “Bad Boy” figure with addiction issues. Depp, Shia, Robert Downey Jr, Sean Penn. It’s not hard to see why they let him slide. Hollywood literally lets them ALL slide. Abusers are an open…

Bizarre turn of events... that nice guy eventually married the woman that the shitty boyf dated before me. So I guess his m.o. was being the knight in shining armor to his roommate’s scorned gfs...?!

I love the Robert Pattison quote

and unable to handle “hot-tempered” LaBeouf’s method acting.

Louis CK’s apology didn’t do one of the specific things I pointed out that LaBoeuf’s did, i.e. “cast vague doubt on the accounts of his victims.” But it was a masterclass in deflecting bullshit. To start, the very first sentence after “...this is true” is a (very clever, incidentally) attempt to minimize his behavior…
