I feel like a biker clubhouse funeral > any church funeral.

Eh, I have a shithead of a mother, but damned if I don’t still want her approval. I like to think I’m better than that, and that I’ve come to terms with the fact that she’s a terrible person who despises me for some ridiculous reason or another, but it still stings.

I’ve only been to a handful of funerals, but every single one of them (and weddings too!) has been steamrolled by an evangelizing officiant (be it mormon, baptist, nondenom, catholic, etc.).

I feel you. Although, this happened at a wedding. I’ve been with my SO for 8 years. His brother got married to his gf of 3 years (I was a bridesmaid), and during the wedding they took family pictures (of course) with everyone but me. Including their cousin and his girlfriend of 2 months, and the bride’s brother and his…

My little brother was that way. Picture it:

“peaked in preschool” is my favorite thing today.

I had a kid harass me like that in the fourth grade. The teacher did nothing (they didn’t in middle/high school either), and anything I did seemed to encourage him more.

Refer them to the “EA Spouse” story too (second hit on google).

I was a producer that got laid off with zero notice right before Christmas... but frankly, if I’d had a family to support in such an unstable industry? I’d switch to tech, or a related field wherein my skills would be applicable (engineering/manufacturing firm). Family > Dream job. Sad but true.

Absolutely. And you can explain it until you’re blue in the face, but it never sinks in.

Yes. I was a producer for a small time dev, and our overlords had a bit of problem with pitching realistic timelines.. When we were in a crunch (which was often) I worked out my pay to be way less than minimum wage (converting salary to hourly) with all of the time I was putting in. We even had devs working 24-36…

I was under the impression it was playing upon the fact that everytime they’re at an awards show together, all eyes are on Kanye to do something. So he pretended to sleep for a moment while she was walking to the stage, just because he knew the cameras would cut to him. Plus, they were hyping the Kanye+Taylor moment…

IIRC, I remember reading something she wrote about a Lipo procedure gone bad. I don’t know why she’d be a bad candidate for the face stuff though.

Seriously. That new song took me back to middle school when weed was “cool” yet no one had actually smoked it.

He’s just playing around. He was back up and in his seat by the time Taylor started talking.

OH, is that what he did? I only saw the camera cut to him in the midst of a fit of giggles.

Am pretty blonde. Still dislike Taylor Swift.

Yes. My SO, in particular, doesn’t like him because he’s “arrogant”. Part of me is like, can’t he be? I mean, he’s accomplished a lot, and has critical acclaim. Sure, our social code is to be humble, but that’s bullshit. Is it because he’s black and arrogant? Is it because he’s a rapper?

Can she be fired from an elected position? Or does the county have to impeach her? I’m so lost.

Somewhat related: I love, love, loved when Taylor accepted her award, and suddenly while the camera is on her, you hear a roar of laughter from the audience. For just a moment, the camera pans to Kanye sitting back down in his seat in a fit of giggles.
