Extremely true. On Prime video my “recommended for you” list is all stuff related to the last thing I watched. Want to find something related to the second to last thing I watched? No dice.

Glad you included My Dinner with André. I feel like this movie was endlessly mocked for being boring because it’s just a couple of guys sitting around talking, but it’s a fantastic conversation! One that you’re glad you get to eavesdrop on!

Honestly, becoming a bog body is goals. There’s a bog near a place that’s special to me. When I go, wrap me in a sheet and chuck me in.

For out-there perfumes, check out Etat Libre d’Orange too. Their Jasmine and Cigarettes does exactly what it says on the tin, but in a good way. I haven’t had a chance to smell the Annee 69, but apparently it also does what it says on the tin. You can get a bag of, like, 30 samples from them and it’s all crazy shit.

I mean, each kind of band-aid has to be FDA approved/cleared. The process isn’t super intense for low-risk non-invasive stuff like that, but you have to do it.

the last book is a single 1000 pg long battle scene. I sure hope they don’t take a whole season for that one.

Yeah, when I worked retail, bag checks took about 2 seconds. Maybe 5 minutes if it was the end of the night and one manager had to check everybody who was leaving at the same time. 45 minutes to get the right people to check you out is insane. Even 20 minutes is unreasonable.

God, I wish people actually learned the subjunctive in English! Was/were and similar are a huge pet peeve.

Yeah, but it’s a Wisconson company, not a French company. The Croix part is a reference to the St. Croix river, which is pronounced “Croy” because midwest. Don’t try too hard on this one

Sounds to me like anyone with a uterus can use the HOV lanes anytime they want, now, because with the insane way weeks of pregnancy are counted, you’re pregnant before you’ve had the sex that makes you pregnant, so...failing to get pregnant in any given cycle is pretty much the same thing as a very early miscarriage.…

Translation is really hard, even without the constraints of subtitles/captions. I took 2 classes on translation in college and one of the hardest exercises we did was a chapter out of Bridget Jones’ Diary. Almost nothing that Bridget writes is literally what she means, but the word/idiom choice all conveys extra…

Netflix’s subtitles are actually really good. I tried to watch something subtitled on Amazon a while back and it was just yellow with no shadow and I couldn’t read any of it against the super intricate visuals of the thing.

I totally have that turned off. Don’t remember how I did it, but it’s possible.

Why is Ohio the only state that’s right?

“kept warm overnight” *shudder* I can taste the salmonella from here

Forgive my not knowing much about this, but in every consumer electronic I have, the battery holds less and less of a charge over time. Wouldn’t you want to buy with an exceesive amount of battery so you can be confident that it’ll still have a decent amount of battery in 5-10 years? (typing this comment on a laptop…

9/11 has nothing to do with it. it is possibly the worst movie I’ve ever seen and not even in a fun so-bad-it’s-good kind of way. It’s all just “OMG, Mariah, you’re so great!” “Oh, I’m not that great” “But you are! You are soooo great!” for 2 hours.

My high school barely had a dress code. No hats was about it. It was the 90s, spaghetti straps and Big Johnson T-shirts were everywhere. One day I wore a too-short dress. As soon as I sat down in it during first period, I was like “I have made a huge mistake” but not a single authority figure said a word to me. And…

I definitely read “vulva” and was like how on earth does pizza dough explain this?

I’ve got a friend who has been following the research in children pretty closely and says that it is not yet clear that the benefit outweighs the risks in that population - like they’re more likely to have bad reactions to the vaccines (that myocarditis thing) and less likely to wind up hospitalized for COVID if…
