This exact scenario has happened to me my whole life. I have a very distinct memory of wearing a tank top in high school gym and being told never to wear it again. I pointed out a girl in the class wearing the same exact shirt, and was told “it’s different on her”.

Elementary is GREAT. I think all but the current season is on Netflix right now. It’s a very different take on Sherlock than the BBC Sherlock, but I might even like it more than the BBC version. And I really really like the BBC version.

That’s actually a plotline on Elementary

well, it’s different from a credit check. You can have terrible credit and still get a checking account, because bad credit just shows that you’re bad with, well, credit. But if you have a negative history because of overdrawn accounts and writing checks that bounce and such, that’s a different system, and that can…

yeah, this is a pretty good run-down of the reasons why, but it’s why check cashing places and such exist.

A lot of people can’t even get a bank account at all. But going cash only can be risky and difficult. A prepaid debit card is a good middle area, and it can build your banking reputation (not quite a credit score, but if you have a banking history with lots of overdraws and such, you can absolutely get blacklisted…

well, the good news for me is that the local aquarium has weddings. So my plan was to have my wedding in the aquarium, and donate enough money that they would let me borrow a penguin for the ceremony.

I love this. I used a purse shaped like a pink poodle (very clearly meant for children) for like, 6 months in high school.

I have a brown fake leather backpack from target that’s basically the same style and shape as that juicy one, and I love it. It doesn’t feel professional enough to bring to work, but it’s become my go-to weekend bag. Especially if I’m doing a lot of walking. My purses always weigh 10 tons, and it’s amazing how much…

Not that I have 65,000 to spend on a wedding, but if I had it, I totally would, and there’s a 75% chance it would be harry potter themed.

Does it make it better or worse that I too was wrong about what she was saying, but I had always thought it was “are you early?”, and she was just weirdly not pronouncing the R very much?

Is that dance academy? I haven’t seen it, but netflix keeps recommending it to me. If not, then you must find out what it is so I can watch it!

No disapproving parents in this one! There was an ex-member who secretly joined the competing dance troupe because they didn’t think their scrappy underdog troupe would win.

I haven’t yet, but Netflix definitely agrees with you because it keeps recommending it to me. It’s on the list!

I discovered a couple on netflix recently that I hadn’t seen before, and it was like Christmas. They had everything. Hip hop dancers teaching ballet dancers to chill out. A high stakes competition. A life-changing conflict that would prevent some of the dancers from being at the competition, forcing them to chose…

I will watch literally endless terrible movies about dancers. Even better if there’s a competition involved. Even better than that if it’s about ballet dancers who have to learn to loosen up and use some modern/hip hop dance moves. I’m 100% here for this.

I’m hoping that he picks an intelligent vice president, then, if elected, immediately steps down, because he just wanted to prove that he could get elected.

I’ve seen a bit of that, and I just don’t. under. stand. Is she as liberal a president as I want? No, of course not. But pretty much no viable candidate is. It’s part of living in a democratic republic, where the opinions of everyone in the country are part of the process.

me too. And the pain sucked. After the doctor clamped my cervix, the speculum fell shut for some reason, so my cervix just hung out, clamped, while the doctor reopened the speculum as fast as humanly possible. Which was still too slow for someone who has the cervix clamped.

I was well over 13 when I saw that movie, and the scene with the testicles still fucked me up.
