Maybe your “upper middle class” friends and family do all of that where you’re from, but I have no experience with the kind of extravagance you are talking about. For the vast majority of people, life is not like a reality show.

Well said.

My comment wasn’t because she doesn’t like bridal showers, because her comment wasn’t simply about not liking bridal showers. It was the haughty, judgmental dismissiveness I responded to: “What kind of person even does that?” “Basic” “The whole concept is awful, no one I’m close to would ever have or enjoy one of…

My post to NWH was that it’s unfair to call people “basic” because they like something. How is that “piling on”?

Oh my god, SHUT UP. You are embarrassing yourself.

Then don’t go to it?  Why assume everyone is doing because they feel they “have to”?  Maybe they actually enjoy it, just like some people want to have a big wedding with a fancy dress instead of a backyard BBQ with lentils.

Whether it’s pumpkin spice latte, mason jar centerpieces or bridal showers, if someone sincerely enjoys something, I think it’s cynical to dismiss it as “basic”.

Right? Very on-brand for that commenter though. She’s not like those other women.

Well aren’t you a fun, “cool girl” and not at all weirdly judgmental about a common event that plenty of women who are getting married have.

She’s also the “Nostradamus of your shame,” don’t forget.

She was probably my favorite on the show but honestly, it’s hard to choose because that cast is so stellar! Literally everyone in the cast is awesome and amazing and this is such a great show. At least we still have Cheddar.

Why are you married to him?

At some point the naysaying becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I hope you are doing something affirmative (volunteering, donating) rather than lament about how the fight looks hard. Hard fights are worth fighting. People said similar things about Doug Jones and Conor Lamb.

5’8” really isn’t that tall and your wife shouldn’t skip leg day

Oh man, life is tough, eh? Your wife felt left out during an episode of Today, and now you might actually have to parent your child. Put your fucking feet up and have a drink, you’ve earned it, Superman!

Due to genetics, my 13 year old is tall and thin with long legs. I’m going to have to talk to her about body image. Great. Thanks.

What exactly are you whining about? “People hate us cuz we’re beautiful”?

I like that we can always rely on the Jez comment section to be full of fat hatred. Thanks, guys!

Hi. What is the point of your post?
