I’m really enjoying this show overall, but this episode....yikes. If there was ever a case for “what happens in the holodeck/simulator stays there” it’s this. I can appreciate what they were trying to do here, and I’m no prude but I could have gone the rest of my life happily not knowing exactly what kind of kinky…

I hear you on the silver.  It’s great and affordable, but it requires some upkeep.  Almost all my stuff is silver and I get so annoyed when I have to polish/clean it. And flat/bezel settings FTW! I never understand how women wear those rings where the diamond sits so high off your finger.  How do you DO anything…

I can’t see your pic but that sounds absolutely beautiful! I love opals.

Thank you! I love Scully too (obviously). She was a hell of a TV role model for teenager me. :-)

I think sapphires make amazing engagement/wedding rings! I saw a lady with one the other day and I couldn’t stop staring at it, it was so gorgeous.

In 2018, Helzberg Diamonds released the “Will You?” ring, a $50 silver band engraved with the phrase, “This is a ring, not the ring.” Purchasing the placeholder guarantees the consumer a few hundred dollars off a diamond engagement ring, whenever he or she is ready to take the plunge (into debt!) and allows the couple…

Honestly, Ed is such a dumbass but I find myself liking him more and more with each episode.

Same.  I loved Stranger Than Fiction.  I have a hard time taking Sandler as a “serious” actor.

YES. I still love “Not the Doctor” as my “fuck you, no I will NOT do all the emotional labor for your man-child ass” song.

LOL same. I was like “god damn, Peter, seriously?”

Same. I think he’s super talented, but dude’s gotta be bored with playing Dean by now.

Damn. Part of me thought this show would out-live us all.

It looks like “Dumm Dump” which is....kind of accurate, actually.

1. I’m still kind of astounded by this. My Catholic grandma (and my religion teachers too, actually) revered her copy of the Bible so much she would pick it up and kiss it if she dropped it on the floor accidentally. And Evangelicals are ok with this guy signing the cover of their Bibles? As if he wrote the thing? It…

This is also when you start adopting the woke-abulary. You no longer discuss things; you “unpack” them. Everything that once made you laugh when your cousin said it at a cookout is now “problematic.” You suddenly notice how often you are “triggered” by “microaggressions” like your boss asking you why you are late to…

I don’t know when the feminists are going to write the story about the unusual situation of a man getting power through his wife, but that’s what we have here.

Seriously. I’m no Meghan McCain fan, but Trump’s behavior is fucking atrocious most of the time.  I’m fine with calling him out.

Vegas is already doing these “secret” wellness checks. We had 2 hotel staff guys knock on the door and ask to come in one evening while we were in the room - they had to dial down to the front desk from the phone to signal nothing weird was going on. If we hadn’t answered the door they would’ve come in anyway. Would…

Exactly. I’m not saying she’s a victim here, but people underestimate how some parents are masters at manipulating their own children.  Her parents basically said straight-out that they didn’t go to college so they wanted her to. They did it to bolster their own egos and live vicariously though their kid.
