Ya the whole show is pretty much :( now. I used to say that I was just hate-watching it but I don’t think I can use that excuse anymore cause I do sort of enjoy all the stupid fights and it’s also sometimes it’s just nice to look at the pretty colours and rich people stuff for an hour... and you totally didn’t need an…

Yes! Mission accomplished.

Ya she was pretty sympathetic the first season she was on, filling a role like Bethanny’s on rhny where she was the voice of reason (kinda). And yeah Yolanda actually comes off as just a really good friend who's not about to abandon her when everyone else is but Jesus brandy really needs to grow up emotionally.

Ugh this whole past season with her and brandy was so...just ugh. Like brandy is for sure the most immature 40 something like when she was ripping on everyone for being menopausal or whatever, who says shit like that? Everyone on the show kinda treats her like she’s a teenager or in her 20’s like “oh brandy just needs…

Isn’t it weird that we as a society are all totally cool with an 18 year old girl being a legit acceptable sex object? Like the day she turns 18 everyone is has absolutely no problem sexualizing her. I don’t know I just remember when I was that age and yeah...definitely not mature enough to deal with the advances of…

I’m really liking these jezebel interviews and Tig is so fucking funny and seems like a really cool person BUT...

lol no.

"Apple and Verizon present Jay Z @ Coachella"

literally, none of the music is great.

Ya that was what the original commenter said about him I definitely don’t think he has a strong New York accent it’s just like you said kind of the standard American accent. And my perspective on this is weird too, I’ve lived all my life in Toronto so I obviously don’t detect the accent but on the other hand when I’ve…

Kara correct me if I’m wrong but that thing she said about him not being “ready from prime time” in the faux-concerned tone seems like pretty amazing politician shade.

Seriously if I was a model I would be so annoyed with her success that I really think is totally out of proportion to her abilities as a model. Like this isn’t at all snarking on her looks, she’s obviously a really pretty girl but models need to have something interesting in their face that’s makes you want to keep…

Ya that’s definitely true but whichever American accent it’s most comparable to is still not anywhere close to the PEI, Newfoundland accent that Americans seems to attribute to all Canadians regardless of region with their constant aboot jokes.

Is there really ereader discrimination going on now? A recent study found that around 40 percent of American adults hadn’t read 1 book in the past 12 months and I think it was like 60 percent hadn’t read more than 2 books in the same period. Can’t us readers in the minority just get along?

Ya that kind of thing is so interesting to me, im fascinated by people with international or global accents (there’s a proper term for it that I’ve forgotten) that speak more than one language and have lived in many different places. It’s this awesome combination of the speech patterns/accents of different regions…

Pretty sure Camille paglia makes her money this way too like when I read her essays they just seem too ridiculous and troll-y to be real. She makes a lot from speaking engagements that she wouldn’t book if not for her controversial views too. She seems like an academic shock-jock to me.

Yes thank you! Discourse marker was the term on the tip of my tongue even though I don't know if that's the correct term for this. Really wish I knew more about linguistics it's a super fascinating field.

Ya it used to really trip me out when I was a kid like shit do I sound like I’m from Newfoundland and have absolutely no idea? But ya after being around people from New York there’s really not that much of a difference. And ya eh’s great, I think most cultures use something like “eh” in conversation (the British with…

Exactly it's like 4 hours away with a non-insular population so why would it be that different?

Ya we definitely don’t have the super New York accent but not everyone from New York has that either. It’s maybe closer to Chicago but I know it definitely doesn’t sound like people from the maritimes which is where the standard “Canadian eh?” accent that Americans seem to attribute to all Canadians comes from. I’ve…
