Having read the book, my favorite version of Dune was the board game. But that might just be because it was the only time I ever won game night.

Oh, it’s definitely a weak thing, but that’s what they seem to be establishing with the edits.

They are trying to build a narrative “thing” for Crystelle: that she’s messy. We’ve been treated to both clips of her family judging her for this as well as Noel directing the cameraman to her station to judge her for this.

Some candy bars have whole peanuts in them, that’s got protein or whatever.

Is someone not being careful with their books?

I was definitely offered free weed, but it’s because where I grew up was known for a lot of weed farming. Like, that’s all anyone knows it for. Most of the weed that gets offered for free isn’t the good stuff, if that helps it make more sense. But it was sort of a hospitality thing, not a get you hooked thing. Like…

I really miss when someone would put together a quiz about the new contestants and I would get to guess at who worked in tech and who was a mama’s boy just by their shirt and hair.

If you like Gwen’s recaps you should also check out the The Food That Didn’t Get Eaten on the Bachelorette articles by Allison Shoemaker on The Takeout.

If my experience is worth anything, some might be offices with waiting rooms (this was a CPA office specifically) looking to fill their candy dish.

People are searching the term "circus peanuts" because they don't know what they are. Who searches for candy they know and love online? If I want to buy a Snickers they are so ubiquitous that I can just pick any direction out my door and I will find a place that sells them.

This show just feels... goofy. And I don’t know if that’s the overall feeling I want. Cowboy Bebop is just as much noir as it is sci-fi, and the impression that I get is that they are doing well with the sci-fi, but not great with the noir. Give me more shadows and less diffused light on ultra colorful costumes.…

When my ex’s nearly two year old niece met me she couldn’t say my name and would call me "Auntie Pince" because I share a name with a famous princess and she couldn't pronounce their name. Or prince/princess. And she was older than baby X at that point.

How old is that baby? I sincerely doubt it's saying "Claire." At least not with clarity. Someone get a tape, because it's probably closer to "Cwaiw." Now in subtlety bragging about your kid's intelligence: claiming they call someone by a name with two consonant sounds young mouths struggle with. 

I agree, people who don’t want to shouldn’t be forced to perform abortions on people. There are a ton of jobs out there available that don’t require you to perform abortions, most of them in fact.

I think you’re right, but given that they never resolved the missing cars in the garage before they all got trapped in the steam room I think that could have been made more clear.

Did she just steal Ben’s car? Is that what I’m supposed to understand happened?

My food pet peeve is when people take giant stacks of napkins, use the corner of like 3, and I have to bus and throw away all of them. It's such a waste. A napkin isn't going to properly clean your hand, only soap and water will, so take enough so you don't leave a greasy mess on the bathroom doorknob and no more. No…

Nails on a chalkboard don’t bug me either. The one thing that gets me is (either the sound or the vibration) of something solid going across certain (usually vinyl) surfaces. Like a fingernail on certain vinyl windbreakers, or (unfortunately for me) quarters scraping on this cheap table I counted tips on at an old…

I always get sensitive when people talk down loud chewers. Like, it might not be the most pleasant thing, but I don’t think anyone is doing it on purpose, and it’s a much harder habit to break than talking while chewing or eating food off the floor or double dipping.

My first thought. Those were two fantastic and silly episodes.
