This is great advice. I did this (volunteering), and it was great b/c it benefited others, it re-focused my mind on something positive/helpful, it kept me busy (so that I wasn’t idle/thinking about sad stuff). Staying busy for awhile was really good for me. I found it easier to process things when the breakup wasn’t…

“It’s not practical for a singer to sing live...”

It doesn’t really matter if you fly an airline that doesn’t allow checked firearms. They pick up their checked firearm in an area where passengers (and guests, employees, etc.) from many airlines are muddled together in the same area.

I agree she’s not tv material. She isn’t one of those singers who’s also super fascinating and loveable and doing interesting things. She’s one of those people who appear to be a worse and worse shitshow the more you see of them. It’s best to keep her visibility to her voice. Everything else she tries to showcase…

Daaaaaaamn. Relic or not, I’ve at least heard of Tommy Mottola. Until Mariah bombed on NYE, I’d never heard of Stella Bulochnikov, and I immediately forget her name every time I read it.

Seems rather impertinent and unprofessional for the guard to tell the press about it.

I’ve always been ‘aggressive’ about my salary, and I’ve seen a pattern of repercussions for that. I’m a woman, and other than one job, I’ve always worked for men. I’ve always been recruited out of a job I was reasonably happy with (vs. being unemployed on the job market), so I had enough leverage in that if they…

Welp, I never like Bieber anyway, but knowing he adopted a puppy and then just handed it off to a new owner 100% confirms for me that he’s a piece of shit. Who raised this careless, trashy idiot? And is there no system in which he can be flagged as a deadbeat animal owner to prevent future animal ownership?

Maybe I’m way off-base, but maybe the uber pale thing in OA is at least partly b/c there’s something sorta...creepy...about super pale people? Something unsettling about it. Maybe we subconsciously read it as looking corpse-like, idk. Like how humanoid aliens are often portrayed as too pale or too smooth or too…

lol @ addressing the nation b/c you took a new job, though.

Ha! Well there’s plenty of drinking. I lived in England for a short time, and the rural areas did have a familiar feel.

lol love it!

PLEASE invite me. I’ll get you a fondue set or crocheted lambswool leg warmers.

Yep! My little area is similar to a lot of other little farm towns in the Midwest and Southern U.S., and I’m sure there are a lot of similarities to agricultural communities abroad, as well.

It depends on which white people. White people in urban Boston are going to have a very different culture from white people in rural Texas, of course. I’ll speak for myself - I’m a Midwesterner, I grew up in an area dominated by agricultural activities. I’m the farmer’s daughter and my best friend was the preacher’s…

‘Tech figure salary’?

Yeah, I don’t believe him even a little bit.

Agreed re: at least some tone-deafness from TS. But I see very different options Cho could have taken. I think any well-adjusted adult would think Cho should have reached back out to TS and say so, in whatever tone is constructive and fair, after having thought about the convo and feeling weird/annoyed/etc. about it.…

I took a class recently where that statistic was also stated - 1 in 10 drivers on the road are under the influence of alcohol (or drugs? can’t remember). Crazy!

I don’t think it makes sense to claim that Cho was affected by some perceived power differential if she was willing to shit all over Tilda in the media. That’d burn a bridge far more explosively than a polite rebuff to the conversation Tilda asked to have via email.
