Oh man. They had the same layout at my local IKEA for literal decades so when I popped in to buy new seat cushions I was like “OK, ground floor, cut through the kitchen and carpets bits, get your cushions and GTFO”. But no. They had REORGANISED the layout. I had no idea where anything was and it was SO frustrating!

Drinkable, but low quality.  So think repackaged cheap wine then sold at a maaaassive premium, and a bunch of people with money than sense fawning over it.

I’ll have to check it out!

Something like that! Sour Grapes is an amazing documentary about counterfeit wines and the whole smarmy BS of this particular market. The Koch guy is in it and a good chunk of his cellar was counterfeit when he had an investigator come around.

I killed mine in spring and I mostly don’t miss it, with the exception of the “events” thing.  Everyone and their dog uses fb events to organise stuff and it’s annoying as hell.  Even then, I don’t miss it enough to go back.  

I’ve ended up with a 1 series as a rental multiple times, and it’s honestly totally OK and surprisingly spacious. As you say, even with not a whole lot in them, they’re good rides. And honestly, in my market at least, competitively priced with Golfs, so *shrug*.

Runs away screaming forever.

Definitely! Didn’t mean my comment to read as disagreement.

Mingle with the unwashed masses??? Whatever next! Jeeves, fetch my smelling salts!

Regarding your a) and b) probably?

Yep. I mean, I’d rather call my kid Harland than a LOT of other names. I kind of like it? Better than the Peyton, Cayden, Ayden, Hayden etc varieties or even super normal names like Daniel or Robert. Maybe I’m missing something?

Probably just dropping them episode by episode?  We get the same here on the other side of the pond with US series that are broadcast via Netflix here.  So if Show A has an ep every Sunday, we might start to see that week’s ep in Netflix on Tuesdays or something.

It’s just so 20th century. Ugh!   

Yeah, it’s really tricky. On one hand, you it’s important to highlight the edits, but on the other the obsessive nitpicking is not actually helpful either.  And then having open comments it always a nightmare.  I can definitely see the benefits, but so much of it has to do where you as an individual already stand in…

I think it’s important to show what is and isn’t real, but not in an “omg she’s a total uggo” way, but more in a “let’s celebrate actual bodies, people and achievements ” way. Otherwise as you say, it’s just destructive.

Lisa was always my fave BH housewife, so no judgement here. But yeah, insta can spiral into a total mind f if you fall down the wrong rabbit hole.

Ugh, that’s awful! Kids can be such assholes.

I live in a country where we are not the fastest tech adopters. But even by the time we moved to the US first time around in the early 90s (literally 25 years ago), we were like wtf paper cheques are still a thing here???  Mind you, when we moved to the UK in the 2000s, we also got asked whether we wanted a cheque…

One thing that’s been weird about this whole circus is that none of the other team members have stood up for their colleague. It’s disappointing to say the least. Ultimately, was the photo op smart? Maybe not, but players aren’t paid to be smart and ask questions. Was he not great at the WC? Nope, but the whole…

Yeah, not exactly.  I was hoping for something that wouldn’t show the name behind a “like” on a public profile.
