I watched this like 4 times yesterday and it took someone labeling it to show me what to look for to make me finally see the drop. Like eyeballs...what are you doing??

Originally I read the title as Wedding “Buffet” and I was like: A woman with the RIGHT priorities! You get yours! Then I saw bouquet and all hope was lost.

If she wanted the bouquet, why did she bring her child? Couldn’t she have handed the kid to another guest, before the bouquet was thrown? I don’t understand this at all. Not only are her priorities weird, but so is her ability to plan ahead.

thanks friend!

You didn’t and I’m sorry if I came off more hostile than I intended. Most people in the West don’t know a lot about any other genocide except the Holocaust. Maybe Rawanda or Kosovo, but that’s purely by virtue of how recent those events are. It’s the nature of such atrocities that they get downplayed and ultimately…

James, I get you. Thanks for writing. I appreciate it.

I meant it in a kidding way; I was being a little bitchy but not mean. I couldn’t help it, only because although I know you didn’t mean it this way, when you usually hear someone say that, it’s kind of a way to put people down, you know? I certainly didn’t mean to start a whole thing...

Seriously I was with you until...Ritz crackers.

Thank you, benjamineallover, but I wasn’t even talking about the aspect of television or television at all. Just that I am not exposed to this stuff (by not having one) and it surprised me: then suddenly a firestorm broke out. But thank you.

Apparently. Almighty God.

LOL, u mad

These folks are RILL mad that you don't have a TV, lol

[EDIT] I didn’t realize that this comment is a mix of what I wanted to say// a response to another comment. I cannot use Kinja and am lazy (stoned) and they don’t allow you to delete... but essentially I agree with you!

And peanut butter. I know!

Yes! I manage to post these responses through telekinesis. As I have now managed to respond multiple times, I have no theoretical issue against television. I just happen not to own one, and I wonder at people’s intensive triggers to lash out due to this: it is a puzzlement to me. So, I don’t own a television? So what?…

Yes I read BGD fairly often. Really great blog. I often have trouble putting into words why something bothers me and they’re a great source. I follow Guerilla Feminism on facebook too and they are constantly linking great PoC and intersectional feminist perspective articles.

I wish I had a clever gif in return! I always find it amazing how my not owning a television brings up such intensive emotional reactions in others. It is just my preference. I have no issue with television in general; it just doesn’t appeal to me. I also don’t own pancake mix; a ranch in Texas; or fabric softener.…

I’ve heard a lot of stories from people I know who went to IU that Cuban will show up and really, ahem, enjoy himself when he makes his semi-regular trips back to Bloomington.

When my sister caught the bouquet at a wedding, her then boyfriend remade a big show of running from the garter toss. But she was expected to laugh and act like it was fine. Sadly, she did later marry him and they had a horrible marriage, followed by a drawn out divorce. Anyone whose idea of a joke is public…

Yeah, this is going to be one of those stories that he tells where she’s expected to laugh along because it was “just a joke.” I really despise people who frame dickish behavior as humor like this, because it just sets up the other person to seem like an uptight killjoy - even when they have a totally valid reason for…
