I agree that this is part of the reason Andy quits - the straw that breaks her back - but the build up of why Miranda is awful and Andy is miserable is that basically they can’t keep their men/social lives and do their jobs. Andy breaks up with her boyfriend because he is pouty that she isn’t around to eat his…

Not sure she counts as “lame” but I hate that we are supposed to hate Miranda Priestly and think Andy made the right decision by dramatically quitting in favor of her whiny boyfriend who needs a very special birthday party on his birthday. Miranda Priestly is supposed to be a cautionary tale because she is a divorced…

People also do this because Chipotle does not mix the ingredients in the burrito, so unless you have a huge mouth and bite, you can get a bite that is all rice, or all protein. If you mix it in the bowl first, then put it on the tortilla, the ingredients are distributed. I really don’t think most people are doing it…

I think people generally think fellow gym goers care about them way more than they do (e.g. newbies who think the regulars are judging them, people who think others care what they wear, people who think others care if your pants show sweat, etc.). I care if you (1) are doing something that could hurt me (leaving…

Much like paid maternity leave, doulas should be standard care. My doula was EVERYTHING during my labor and delivery. She was aware of my concerns and desires, anticipated every need I had before I knew had it, and helped my husband be as productively involved as possible. DOULAS FOR EVERYONE!

Except a YouTube vlogger did try to report him and the FBI ignored it, saying they couldn’t find him. The FBI’s negligence here is truly criminal. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5395603/FBI-warned-Nikolas-Cruz-September.html 

“right to not be physically assaulted by someone who is supposed to be bigger, and smarter than you”

I like websites like shopbop or revolve that have a lot of photos of the clothes (full length, detail shots, zoom abilities), and often have videos of the models actually doing a walk or 360 turn in the clothes. I also like when websites use the same models on a consistent basis and/or gives the model’s measurements…

This is how I feel when I see photos of Kaia Gerber in particular. She is the new “big thing” but to me she looks exactly like the coltish teenager she is. I look at her and I see 16. I don’t want a 16 year old selling me stuff. It just does not appeal to me. I would rather have her mom still selling me stuff.

It could be perioral dermatitis.

I was thinking a workplace-type Mean Girls. Like Regina George has parlayed her insta-famous beauty blogger status into a cosmetics empire and they are all working for her.

This is .... wow.

Marc Wahlberg being in this movie is probably an actual deterrent to many people seeing it. I would have a very hard time bringing myself to watch him in anything. Michelle Williams is like the antidote to the Marc Wahlberg poison in the movie.

I had this exact thought seeing the commercials for this. Like, “why is Marc Wahlberg in this movie? Did he wander on to the wrong set and they felt bad for him and let him stay?”

They could even show up to the awards show but not walk the carpet. The red carpet is the most superficial, and usually most reported-upon, part of the night. Not walking the carpet would achieve a lot of what you suggest while still allowing them to have a platform to speak and obtain the recognition they earned.

Can we just call them “rape drugs”?

But do you see the difference between the basic bitch video and the basic bro video? Being a “basic bitch” means liking starbucks, uggs, sweat pants, Zumba, certain TV shows, wearing some unoriginal Halloween costumes, and posting a campaign slogan from Vegas as an instagram caption. “Basic bitch” just bags on things…

How many popular things is too many? Is there some kind of test for determining the origin of why you like something? I mean, google gives me ads for things I have only thought about and never googled, spoken or typed about, so in this day in age I feel like it can be hard to know why something is appealing to me. I…

Is that a thing? I don’t think I have ever heard it. I have definitely heard “bro,” but not “basic bro.” YMMV?

“Basic” needs to die. It is so demeaning, dismissive, and impliedly misogynistic. Men are never called “basic.” Only women are called “basic.” And it always used to dismiss women who happen to like things other women like. As if liking things that are popular some how makes you “less than.” It breeds this weird…
