100s of millions of others turn balefully toward you and in one voice say...

“...k”

I felt the complete opposite. It was his character that was trying to straddle two different worlds - the jock and the nerdy geek kid. He was on the team, but he was also not on the team and instead, rode the bench. But he was so desperate to fit in, he basically walked away from his friends and became something he…

Isn’t the whole point of Stranger Things the repetition of tropes from 1980s adventure/sci-fi/teen movies? It’s all deliberate homage.

I now have no doubt that something seriously fucked up happened — probably that the police killed more children than the shooter. This is Texas and the police don’t have an affirmative duty to defend or protect citizens not in their custody so their inaction is not actionable nor criminal. 

Yeah, I feel like this committed one the worst sins of the Marvel formula: too much reliance on references to previous installments of the MCU in place of genuine plot and character development. I’ve seen all the previous movies and series and I was still irked by this choice because it left the movie devoid of too…

Just the other day I was thinking back on how, as a little wannabe punk rocker, there was a period in my life where people being into A&F and the song “Flavor of the Week” were some of the main things that stressed me out, culturally.

I feel like high school reunions are a thing that are made up for movies and don’t really happen. I think my high school had one at 10 years but it was just like a Facebook event and a bunch of people showed up at a bar. I’ve never heard of anyone going to like, a formal event. 

This is hilariously embarrassing, you realize that not every discussion needs to be about the trans/non-cis experience as well? If these director’s only know about their experience as cis women then that’s what they’re gonna focus on. They went out of their way to explain that there are people that don’t identify as…

had a girlfriend that kept cans of corn in the fridge. mixed with hot sauce,taijin, or taco sauce. good stuff. i usually added salt.

Sounds like something a giant spider planning to drop down from the sky this summer would say. 

My best hack for my young ones was to take a pack of stickers (of whatever they were into) to the grocery store whenever we shopped. I placed a sticker on any item I wanted to “brand”. My kids were excited about Batman broccoli and Thomas the tank engine zucchini. We created our own character sponsors for the food we…

My kids are all grown now.  This is the best parenting hack I ever pulled off.  When kids first start taking meds, they usually can’t get a pill down easily.  I went to the store and bought a tube of mini M&Ms and a bag of M&Ms for each kid.  Then I gave them a handful of mini’s and told them to eat them.  Then I gave…

The worst thing I ever did was when my kids were 3 and 4. If they didn’t want to do something I wanted them to do, like go to bed, I’d say, well, why don’t we just flip a coin. Heads I win, tails you lose. That worked well for a few months, but when they finally caught on, they were really pissed.

Losing weight and keeping it off isn’t that hard *for you.* Try empathy some time! We’re not all built the same. 

On one hand, you’re absolutely right. On the other hand, one worked to get me a house last year even though I didn’t have the highest bid.

Curious if bartenders would be willing to do mocktails

I tried Joe-Joe’s once.

This looks great! Can’t wait to make these.

Ya this is a great point. I make really basic whole food dishes that most people are like “how do you eat that every day”. Well once you realize just a tiny bit of oil and good use of spices on broccoli and other fiberous vegetables makes them taste AMAZING then it becomes pretty damn easy to eat your broccoli. I am…

Everyone’s first thought are those First Night Feast at Hogwarts? Yes? I don’t even know what I was looking at in some of those scenes, but - sparkly food. You know damn well that sparkly food has. to .rock!
