When she was 25 years old, and working as both writer and actor on The Office, one of her co-stars made a suggestion for a fun “joke”: that their character should suggest that her character, Kelly Kapoor, drop 15 pounds.

I really like the breakfast burritos. These were a fucking revolution in the Northeast in the early 90s when the idea of breakfast burritos/tacos came crawling out of the southwest. If you live where they still carry hot picante sauce it’s a great  protein heavy breakfast.

I would love to, unfortunately it’s usually handwritten on a chalkboard on the back wall that aren’t close enough to squint at until you’re at the front of the line.  At that point you can feel the impatience of everyone behind you...

You can buy Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix at the grocery store. I doubt it’s packaged anywhere near shellfish. You might not want to deny yourself any longer.

They are recommending an 8 month interval.

and some people don’t want to put in the work when they only do steak once or twice a year.

Or you could cross out the eyes and draw some little viruses floating around

I think we had a thread on this already but steakhouse food is pretty easy to prepare at home? Season your steak well and sear it hard in a very hot pan. It’s not rocket science to take veggies and add cream either. And now that everyone has air fryers even french fries and stuffed mushrooms are quick and easy.

Why?  To get those sweet tik tok and insta posts so Red Lobster can pretend to be relevant again.  

It’s revealed he’s been prepping for it awhile because he collected Vincent years and years of genetic samples so he can imitate him for the rest of his life. A person only makes so much urine and dead skin and hair in a day... so that’s a dedicated effort of at least months.  

Same. I think theoretically six months of expenses would cover potential house repair, but what if you need the repair and you’re laid off the same month?

This happened to me, I spent my savings on a new roof for the stand alone garage and the next month we got furloughed in the federal government for 35 days.  

Even Jerome, the movie’s most cynical character, marinates in the baby-faced self-pity of a golden boy turned underachiever; he’s resigned, but not quite as hard-bitten as a typical noir lifer.

The difference though is that in the Talented Mr Ripley the quest alienates the protagonist, pushing him further from society. In Gattaca it connects him with people. With his genetic donor, with the girl, and even with his boss who overlooks his final negative test and sends him to space damn the regulations.

IIRC the ads for In Time positioned it as a type of Romeo and Juliet between JT and Amanda Seyfried’s character, which made a ton of people overlook it bc that sounds horrible. 

I think the health nuts all moved on to kombucha 

I was with you until hot drink

I don’t know how, no Starbucks I’ve been to in the past year offers any more than five syrups. They don’t even have hazelnut right now. HAZELNUT. It used to be standard.

As a person who has stuffed a lot of beer in her suitcase to bring home, I am probably one of the target audience.

No people try that but there’s usually a critical mass that ignore them. What you need to do is gather some confederates to stand against the camera-on tyranny.

The first paragraph after “How” gives a token gesture at this.
