This is sooooooo ridiculous. Seriously makes me think less of Olivia Munn. 

I’m so fascinated with this whole situation ever since I saw Lizzo’s tweet. It is an absurd take to think that only musicians can critique music. That flies in the face of criticism.

True. Someone on this comment section said that we’re starting to go back to how pricey cable was, with all these streaming services, and its kinda true. For the last few years I’ve had a sweet spot of a few streaming platforms and Sling TV, and its cheaper than cable. But if I have to subscribe to 5+ platforms,…

Exactly. I watched all of Gilmore Girls for the first time on Netflix a few years back, and now its my “comfort” show that I put on when I’m cooking, cleaning, putting together furniture, etc. Perfect show to have on when I’m doing something else, since I’ve already seen it. 

This is why everyone hates white women millennials.

I don’t understand this panic over a student not going to college right away. I am a high school teacher and I also share the following story about a good friend of mine from my early 20s -

I’m tired of this ideology as well. I majored in History, loved it, became a high school teacher at a small school, eventually got a job at a bigger more established school, and I’m doing just fine. Pay all my bills and save a little each month. My liberal arts degree genuinely made me a better person.

TOTALLY agree. Look, of course consent is important and we all want open communication and respect. But the way he delivered that line, with the camera pausing to focus on him and him clearly enunciating “If you really want me to stop, I’ll stop,” was just very, very, very blatantly me too movement. 

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.
