If you’re ok with it, you’re ok with it. That wouldn’t go over well in my house (but he knows that).

Good luck ridding yourself of the final vestiges of a toxic friend. Sounds like she’s the type to be back for additional rounds.

At a certain point, your husband is an adult and knows exactly what the fuck is going on.

We don’t know each other and I don’t want to get in your business, but in your shoes, if my husband stayed at the event, we should have a (polite) convo about marriage as a team against that kind of bullshit.

I love that a flippant remark started a fight about real life issues, like all sidewalk riding could possibly be solved in the comments.

Something tells me sidewalk riders don’t spend a whole lot of time reading/writing online, either.

I don’t live there and didn’t want to work from stereotypes, but I sure thought about it!

I would assume it’s closeby. Difficult to bike in slip-on wedges.

Sometimes, I save up to shop their clearance rack.

That’s an interesting point. I would’ve gotten there after I figured out whether I’d ever be able to work up the courage to leave the house in a dress that cost a months’ rent in a non-metro area.

This is a lifestyle so far out of my reach, I don’t even aspire to it.

I think it just makes you .... girls. *judgy face*

“In Portland, Anthro girls wear $600 dresses to ride bikes.”

Fixed it for you, Anthro.

Apparently they become no longer desirable at all at the toll of midnight, before their 30th birthday.

I am right there, worsting with you: I have already assessed her beach attire and found myself lacking.

I like what she said here. I refuse to like her last three singles. I haven’t met her, so that’s as close to an opinion on Ariana the Person as I can get.

I’d genuinely like to see a sit-down conversation between Trump and Jenner about trans issues. Or Jenner’s daughters.

Hillary is a lot of things, and not all of them are great, but she at least understands diplomacy. I’ve got $5 that says Trump wouldn’t survive 15 minutes without at least two transphobic slurs and…

Tell your friend for me that we're proud of her for getting the kit done in the first place. The blame is not hers.

Seems ... risky.

I’m not the target demographic, but it’s hard to wrap my head around.

For the ones who aren’t successful with deals, what are the long term career ramifications? That’s always where my mind goes first.

Thanks!

I can kind of understand the “educational” ones because you theoretically control more of the narrative. The dating shows (The Bachelor iterations), on the other hand, seem to work out so badly for everyone involved they’re more puzzling.

I’m definitely not TV material, so maybe it’s all sour grapes, but they’re…

Does anybody do the show and go, “Oh, wow, I’m so glad I had this really specific experience.”? Does being on The Bachelor offer anything other than the opportunity to become a D-list celebrity? (This reads like snark, but I’m legitimately curious. Are there added benefits, or is it just cool to be on TV, even though…
