““Anti-bride” is just a new version of the same list of “musts” that a woman has to achieve in order to be a good and trendy host on her wedding day, but framed by punching down at women who want a traditional wedding experience and the legions of women who did the traditional thing before.”

While I do think some of them aren’t smart in a scholarly way, there aren’t very many dummies who play in the NFL, contrary to what people might think. Michael Oher, the subject of The Blind Side, said the movie making him look unintelligent adversely affected his draft prospects. In addition to being supremely…

Specifically the truck drivers received $100K bonuses. The rest of the tour staff/crew also received bonuses, but I don’t know if we know the dollar amount for those.

I watched the first 4 episodes on a flight from Seattle to Chicago, and it was fucking delightful. I wish I’d also chosen it on the flight TO Seattle instead of Renfield, which despite some fun performances, was a real stinker.

I’ve had people tell me that my love of Taylor Swift’s music is completely incongruous with me as a person, but “She makes music about the stuff taking up space in the center of our hearts, the emotions we avoid acknowledging as we get older and pretend as though we’re increasingly unflappable. Jealousy. Yearning.…

It’s like these dudes who put “Alpha Male” in their Twitter handle. The least “alpha male” thing you can possibly do is tell everyone that you’re an alpha male.

My sobbing in this movie didn’t nearly reach the heights of Yondu’s funeral in GotG2, but “Can I come with you?” “Yes...but not yet.” DEFINITELY turned on the waterworks!!

Can confirm you do not need to play D&D to like this film. I had a great time and I’ve never played in my life (though many of my friends do, so I have at least a passing familiarity with it).

The 4th dragon of the Greens is Tessarion, belonging to Daeron, the 4th child of Viserys and Alicent. He hasn’t appeared in the show yet, but GRRM has confirmed he’s there, he’s just in Old Town atm.

This article sums the situation up well. There’s the tried-and-true “diversity shouldn’t trump story!” which is just dogwhistle racism, but she also outright uses a racial slur (in Swedish) towards someone disagreeing with her as well.

Please keep saying this, over and over until no one buys this fucking book. Linda is trash, and lately seems like Elio too, and no one should give them a damn dime. 

Legit one of my biggest pet peeves, unless you’re talking about the actual Japanese version.

One thing that I find missing from this conversation in a lot of places is that fact that where I grew up in the Midwest, it was considered rude to show up or still be at someone’s house at dinner time unless you were specifically invited beforehand (sometimes “beforehand” was days before, sometimes hours). I went…

“Every day, I wake up and immediately plunge into a world in which reducing my caloric consumption would be considered an act of heroism.”

Celery is high in sodium for a vegetable but is not “really high in sodium”. One stalk of celery equals about 1% of your daily sodium, so you’d have to be consuming an absolute ton of it for it to make any difference in your diet, sodium wise.

My understanding of the article on the whole was that it meant to point out that the histrionics about his supposed poor health were overblown, because eating a Big Mac per day is not necessarily a terrible thing for your health, even if it isn’t the epitome of GOOD health either.

Very true, but many breakfast options are pretty low sodium, so it’s also conceivable that he’s still staying under his RDA while consuming 44% of his sodium in one meal? 

I really like both the breaded fried ravioli and the veggie spring rolls in the air fryer. I cook the spring rolls on a lower temp for like 5 mins and then Max Crisp (450, I think) for 3 minutes or so.

Man, I love some potato oles, especially because Taco John’s has “the good ranch”, but the Crunchwrap blasphemy here is a bridge too far. I have literally never had anything at Taco John’s (and I grew up in the Midwest!) that held a candle to a Crunchwrap.

THAT music was what I came out of the movie most excited to geek out about with my friends. LOL
