It’s an easy fix, considering where she ends up in the end. We know men in power make all sorts of exceptions for their dicks, so...

I don’t think a lot of updating needs to happen, the society is still very racist and expels non-white people but keeps Moira around for the harem because the ruling men get to make exceptions for their dicks.

I don’t remember her being described at all, but assumed she was white because the society was so racist and expelled Jews and non-whites. I kind of recall her husband being Jewish though?

It’s a mini series! Which I think will make it a bit easier to digest.

Get ready to have heart palpitations because it’s so plausible and real to life.

I am 100% more excited about this now!!!

I definitely think you’re on to something. ADHDers are like 3x more likely to become addicted to drugs. I pulled “3x” out of my ass but it’s definitely way higher than the typical population. PLUS her family PLUS being a child star PLUS being surrounded by enablers and money.

We all love an underdog.

What happened to her freckles? Do people outgrow freckles or did she like, bleach them out or something?

I feel like Russian wins have always been suspect? But maybe that’s just because I’m Canadian and we’re still a little sore over the figure skating at Salt Lake City.

What a hike to the pool, ugh, what’s the point. There’s a pool in the basement of my apartment building and I still only use it 25% of the time I mean to.

I think Faith is a good counterpart. Or maybe Persistence or Strength or a name meaning those things. Persistance would hella be an old Puritan name, so would Struggle come to think of it.

Not to mention Mary, Maria, Marie, Veronica, Martha, Elizabeth, the millions of variations thereof, any name that came from a saint, and especially not Christine, Christopher, or Christian.

I had a friend who had a very rough childhood with lots of abuse. I’ve literally overheard two guys at a party, who had just met her - one was telling the other that he could “automatically tell” my friend was abused and he knew how “easy” it was to get her into bed. The other guy didn’t seem to believe him.

There’s still a draft?? Has it just not been employed lately or what?

Or “but it COULD be real!”, which I’m sure a lot of people are saying about both Trump-related photos, and which you see a lot on literallyunbelievable. That one really puts a bee in my bonnet.

It will be a cold day in hell when people recognize that fat-shaming in particular and shaming women’s appearance in general as hate speech. A lot of people see it as a social obligation.

This is totally plausible, and not the kid’s fault either, because HE IS 7. And even if it was really fast, like 5 minutes, that’s a longer time for a kid, who I imagine was already in a heightened emotional state.

My dad left me in a car once, but it was winter, and he remembered me before it got too cold in the car. Also, I’m like 90% sure he has undiagnosed ADHD.

For real. Something’s fishy about this.
