Lots of mid-level retail stores are having trouble competing with fast fashion. Wonder what they’re gonna do to try to stay afloat?

Yeah, I hope they keep producing stuff for RedBubble.

Agreed, I though the show did a good job with the race commentary. The part where she beats up the mascot was pretty satisfying, ha ha.

Hollywood tends to be terribly out of touch with what lower and middle class lifestyles are.

Maybe the city has a severe pest problem and demand for exterminators is high.

It is worth noting that this is sometimes done because large sets are easier to film in. Though much of the time, yeah, I think it’s cause Hollywood is out of touch. Middle class families on TV sure seem to take a lot of exotic, luxurious vacations, and have some pricey looking clothes, among other things.

I’ve been wondering about the economic situation in Steven Universe. Does Greg live in his van out of choice, or necessity? Is he the one paying for the home Steven lives in?

Fast fashion has spoiled people. Outside of wealthy people buying expensive status brands, people expect everything to be super cheap.

Discount Forever 21?! Is everything a dollar or something?

Love the face Black Widow is making.

Yeah, people and businesses aren’t really passionate about microbeads.

I love Bath and Body Works, but I hate that pretty much all of their hand sanitizer has microbeads. The few that don’t have glitter, so unless you want to have glittery hands...

I know Ariel and Belle get a lot of criticism, but they’re definitely a huge improvement over the princesses that came before. Like, they have actual…

Pretty much. While not perfect, during the 90’s and later there was definitely an active effort to make the female princess heroes more interesting and developed, giving them goals beyond “I want a man”. That’s why Ariel wasn’t just after the prince, she wanted to see the human world in general. Belle wanted some…

I used to work at an amusement park and there was a metal detector at the entrance of the employee area, but it was rarely used. When was it used? Pretty much every time there was a high profile attack, for the next few days the employees would have to go through a security check.

Most of Texas shuts down if there’s ice on the roads.

I’ve been wanting them to make a Fire/Water type Pokemon.

“I wanted our children to grow up and remain children as long as possible.”

When I read that I thought, be careful what you wish for! Even many prudish, sheltering parents grow concerned when their teenage and adult children have never been in a relationship.
