Had your friend never seen a horror movie before? Cause that’s how you become the guy that dies in the establishing scene.
It really was - except for one night. One of my buddies didn’t do drugs, and was pretty level-headed in general. The first thing he did when we took him out there was to get out of the car in the pitch dark and go striding directly into the woods, saying, “Okay, what the hell is that.” It was pretty goddamn…
Oh jeez, this made me remember something from ages ago:
I can believe this. A local zoo to where I live has the very well off owners living on site (Short version back guy who got rather rich decided to dabble in animal conservation set up two zoos his son now owns the charity) and we’ve had a few peacocks that just live at the zoo but like... aren’t officially part of the…
I used to date a feral peacock. Worst. boyfriend. EVAR.
Every single damn time they said “Plum” I thought they were saying “Plump”
Also, why are the people in the body positive movement all skinny-ish? Not trying to shame skinny people, but like.. it’s noticable. If that’s not how it is in the actual show, cool, but it’s jarring in the trailer
Frankly, body positivity has been co-opted in a very real and harmful way and it is roping in former “bopo activists”. The point where before/afters on insta of weight loss are being hailed as “body positive”. So the concept is becoming meaningless, but not necessarily in the way of “everyone is SO enlightened now”.…
So disappointed to hear this show isn’t saavy enough to see how Dietland has morphed into Wellnessland. That could be a really great, necessary, eye-opening phenomenon. That said, I haven’t read the book but I’m wary from the outset, because the protagonist is a fat woman trying to lose weight in a major way. I’ve…
This. So much this. He made it all about him when he could have said something like “times and views have changed but I do deeply regret the harm I caused to Monica. I apologized publicly but would like to apologize again to her.”
I won’t dignify the rest of this with a response, but Hillary didn’t ride on Bill’s coattails; he tethered his coattails to her and she carried him to (and through) the presidency. I’m not saying he was nothing more than a front for her, but he had her to thank for everything he ever achieved.
Bill had always slept around on Hillary, and she was aware of it and annoyed by it. But she liked riding his coat tails, you know? She had her own affairs on the side. Their stupid marriage isn’t the issue, but the press laughably made it out to be. Bill was and still is a super creep.
If he wasn’t going to toe the line, he could at least get somewhere in its vicinity. He could at least pretend to have a little humility, a little self-awareness, a little concern for what harm he may have done to That Woman, Miss Lewinsky.
An imbalance of power has nothing to do with virginity, it has everything to do with the positions of power (or lack of power) that both parties hold in the workplace. He was literally the most powerful man in the world and she was an intern, it’s not a equitable sexual relationship.
Again, two consenting adults. She knew fooling around with a married man was bad, and he knew fooling around on his wife was bad. Kinda creepy for an older guy to do so, but she also knew he was low-hanging fruit and made a concerted effort to get his attention sexually. Lewinsky was no gingham-clad innocent from the…
I give a flying fuck not only because it’s the epitome of sexist double standards but also because when we ignore men like Clinton, we pave the way for men like Trump and then we wonder how we got here.
