This is how I saw it as well. It was too on the nose, and too “Internet” based. 

Watched it this past weekend and liked it. But its definitely in that new Netflix genre of “very on the nose and timely Me Too esque feminist rom-com.” It was good, some parts a bit cringey, but a nice way to waste an hour and a half on a Sunday afternoon. 

I recently went to Paris and it was my first time out of the country. While I did have a really good time, I definitely felt that if I didn’t talk about how awesome it was or if I had any complaints, no matter how small, I’d be ungrateful and/or spoiled. Even though I paid for it all myself, I still felt like it was…

This is great! I tried to watch the first episode, but couldn’t really get into it and was SUPER put off by the incest...to the point where I just couldn’t stomach it. My boyfriend watches, but I wouldn’t call him a super-fan, and from what I understand he will be going to his friend’s place for the viewing party.…

“Plus, having a fan running on high all the time creates just enough noice that the neighbors who know my twice yearly houseguest is also my cousin don’t also hear us f**king like rabbits twice a day all week and give us the “we’re so disgusted with you” judgemental look (which I really know is jealousy, but so be it)…

Congratulations! 

Excellent description. I don’t like all these “this is nothing new” comments because, well, it kind of is new. We all know people have donated money, but that was usually reserved for multi-millionaires and was kind of an open secret. This is a whole other type of scam. 

I went to a competitive private high school in Miami, FL and the reputation when I was a senior was that UCLA was more prestigious than USC, and if you got into UCLA and USC you definitely chose UCLA. Interesting how region can influence perspective so much.

I guess its good enough that you have to be a more-than-average student to get in, and since a lot of these families are based in L.A., maybe the parents want their kids to stay close?

This take - “this has been going on forever” - is a bit disingenuous. While it is entirely true and mostly well-known that parents have done things like donate large sums of money to colleges or used their legacy to give their kids a push, this is an actual college admissions RING that was going on with the wealthiest…

Also, not to mention that more people are getting married much later in life, after living alone in fully furnished apartments/houses for a couple of years.

I LOVE the Hard Times!! So wild and awesome to see them featured here. 

Uh...Full House was a really major tv show in the 90s and its kind of weird you don’t know about it. Its not about fandom, its about understanding popular culture.

So, to be frank, you will never be able to discuss it in a rational way with this person. In college, we read a great book charting the history of abortion, including when it originally became a talking point for Evangelicals and then conservatives. The book starts with a foreward explaining the fundamental…

But I thought liberals were the snowflakes?

Honestly, it kind of does. None of this is appealing to me and I hope I don’t turn into this if I become a mom. 

Maybe its because I’m not a mom but this all sounds really obnoxious. 

I hope she wins. Its going to get worse as time goes on because nude photos are incredibly commonplace in today’s dating scene, and I hope that she law keeps up in protecting the real victim (the woman whose picture is circulated without her consent). 

I’ve never liked her and I hate how she constantly peddles the narrative of “I’m such a hard working self-made businesswoman” when in reality she was a 20 year old “actress” who married a millionaire and then just joined him in his businesses. That’s all fine and dandy, but don’t act like you started in the restaurant…

So apparently an April Fool’s Prank is now just blatantly lying and then saying “APRIL FOOLS!” That isn’t a prank, people.
