I hit that point like 2 weeks ago. Pretty salty, actually - #MeToo could’ve been the mature conversation about the nuances of adult sexual abuse that’s been overdue for a long time. Instead it turned into....this.

No, he still has a good chance. And he’s a young, talented actor with a long future ahead of him. I’m sorry people you disagree with don’t suddenly immolate.

Or they could just have better things to do. Like spend time with the family & friends they don’t get to see while spending large chunks of time at work. Doing things that interest them. Generally living their lives.

They’re both idiots.

That’s the modern version of “I totally look like this naturally :))” makeup - a pound of foundation, concealer, and highlighter, just no lipstick.

Yeah, nah. Set up a Patreon, a Kofi, a donation box, or some other subscription service and I will beam you money directly. It’s far less annoying and exploitative.

Because back then people did it as a side hobby and not a primary way to pay rent. Looking back, maybe changing that was a bad idea.

Translation: “I am so sorry for what we’re about to do to you. Keep your head up.”

It should be noted that these all apply mostly to white collar jobs. If you’re in a blue collar environment (tradesmen, service industry, warehouse, etc) the surest signof layoffs is...if your manager tells you there’s gonna be layoffs.

A better way of going about this would be if Veronica and JD were members of some presently-unpopular subculture (punk, goth, emo, and grunge are good picks) vs a group of always-on-trend hipsters.

I think I’m just hitting That Age where time slowly muddles together. A part of me still thinks of 2012 as being 2 years ago.

Or the “Hyperventilate for 10 Seconds Then Hold Your Breath” game.

At least drugs are:

Yeah, I don’t think any sensible person was offended at the premise of Spike TV, especially in a world where Lifetime, Oxygen, and Bravo! exist. What was offensive was how bad the programing was.

Well, fuck if I don’t. No idea where I got the idea “The Deathly Hallows” came out in 2011.

I wish they were just annoying..... I did some work with a local non-profit where the staff in my department were all huge hipsters. Like, “horn-rimmed glasses” and “drinking homemade health tonics out of mason jars” hipsters. Things were okay at first...until they discovered that I never went to college. Then I…

Not everyone who’s ever acted in an HP movie is a saint?? And the author has some personal views you don’t agree with?!? No!!

I’m wondering why there’s a backlash to a YA fiction series that ended 7 years ago at all. (Other than the good ol American past time of tearing down the idols we build up.)

Or you could just decide that you don’t want one incident to color your entire life. Believe it or not, not everyone who’s a victim wants to relive it over & over again for some nebulous sense of “progress”.
