Yeah- 2013 was 9 years ago, almost a full decade ago. I don’t think this is really that ‘recent’ a story

I think especially a show as good as The Dropout is good at talking about how the “believe in yourself” ethos of Silicon Valley and VCs can lead to ruin considering we still have a lot of useless pet projects out there

I read an article about a girl who attended the Hershey School whose family was broken apart because her otherwise loving father/’stepfather’ couldn’t pay the bills. Because of this she self-destructed and ended up losing her scholarship and free college tuition. The fact that people are being removed for “can’t pay…

I think analyzing how we treat neglect is the most important thing. Physical and sexual abuse is already pretty hard to get a removal for and kids should absolutely be able to get out of a house where they are being beaten or molested. But removals bc a parent can’t pay the electric bill shouldn’t happen and waste…

I absolutely loved the opener of Holmes and Sunny getting in the groove of their ever increasing success while Heroes played. I always love that song, but it kind of served as a thesis for the episode that what was coming now was that people would have to be brave to take these monsters down. They really did a great…

I think women and families should be able to choose what happens with the medical remains of abortions and miscarriages. If she stole them (which I’m assuming), then she went against the wishes of the patients who chose to have them disposed of. It would also be pretty disturbing if someone was rummaging through the…

Oh yeah, I don’t think thongs even look that good on me, they just accentuate cellulite. Bikini cuts can be good but they are all cut differently

I guess it depends on how it fits- I’d love to have some less restrictive shapewear that doesn’t make me feel like I’m dying so I can wear it more than very special occasions (and I only really like this one actual Spanx piece I have which straps into my bra and doesn’t ride). But yeah I’d be way more into a swimwear…

Yes, she was the one who didn’t understand why her mother wouldn’t stand up to her father 

Yeah The Dropout is much more effective at showing what made people believe in Holmes and also shows you how she digs her own grave and drags others down with her. Inventing Anna had so much nonsense from the beginning like the guy going on a long spiel about why he was putting himself in danger of being disbarred bc…

Ugh yeah Inventing Anna is so bad. The whole “she scammed people at 27, I could barely tie my shoes at 27" line was so cringe. They act like she was special when she was really just your typical lying sociopath scamming rich people for once

I think a lot of this could have been improved by their dialogue including subtitles that mocked Higgins’s character making it clear who the joke was about in that scene

It definitely is. The vast majority of stuff they’ve banned is either because someone said something about a group they’re hurting, was LGBT, or was ‘too popular’ or some other nonsense. Even the tax dodging stuff is a bit dubious 

It’s not even Lifetime good movies. It’s just such bland stuff like the Great Value of streaming

I already know he is a douche in many other ways, I just wasn’t sure if he was “testify against lady I slept with” douchey. Cucking someone in a failing marriage rates pretty low on his long list of douche moves though

It really doesn’t read easily. I definitely thought they were testifying against Heard and was like “really Elon’s that douchey”? 

Yeah- at best he can show that they were mutually abusive, but it doesn’t make him look innocent to all but the douchiest of bros. It just dredges up more dirty laundry the longer this goes on. 

Kanye’s marriage literally ended because he wouldn’t seek counseling- I really doubt he will now that he’s going in an even heavier tail spin

Yup- just like abortion. There are always options for the people at the top, it’s everyone else that suffers

I can definitely see them trying to outlaw sex with a condom or pulling out depending on who got in power bc the Bible’s against sex that’s not for procreation depending on who you ask
