I am NOT a Luann fan at all, but that special was gripping. It explained so much about Luann and actually made me (begrudgingly) respect her a bit more. I mean, it is obvious that she has always been and will always be a social climber, but at least she has put in some hard work.

I did this for a school year, and I was bold about it. My mom didn’t even know she had to sign practice records, and yet, I had the highest average weekly practice times! Hahaha, thankfully, most middle schoolers are shit at playing music, and I had had more experience playing than most of my peers at that point, so…

Oh, sure they would have had Holmes speak (probably not teach, though, at least not this course), but that’s probably due more to the hype around her than anything, which is exactly the thing on which Holmes’s success was built on. At least with someone like Tyra, fan or not, there is a clear and obvious track record…

I mean, because that’s not what is done-we don’t want our future winners listening to losers! /s. Though it would likely be pretty helpful to hear from someone who failed to hopefully get insight on how to avoid those failures, for some reason, we only want to hear from those who succeed (assuming success if built…

I’ve been wondering if I should watch this, and I think I’ll finally pull the trigger now. Thanks!

I was an ANTM addict, and I would always scream at the tv: “It’s called a lesson!! A ‘teach’ is not a thing!”

LOL. Right, because she couldn’t possibly know anything about achieving success. All teenage models without famous or rich parents build multi-million dollar empires. Oh, wait...

Except, no. The syntax “I went to [school/university]” has a pretty well-accepted meaning: I attended and graduated from [school/university] with a degree. I studied at Oxford for a summer, but I certainly don’t say, “I went to Oxford.” It’s deliberately misleading.

Slightly off topic, but she actually said, “They hate us ‘cause they can’t be us,” which is hilarious to me because everyone knows that the phrase goes how you’ve written it. I got irrationally angry hearing that in the promos time and time again and watching it last night.

Siri’s weird. It cannot pronounce my name, even though it has at least four accepted pronunciations in three different languages, but it will respond to any of those four permutations.

That’s not a hard name, but I know someone with that last name too, and people are constantly mispronouncing it. How?!?!

Totally agree. I interact with someone who calls me by the wrong name, and we chat about 3-5 times a week. I’ve corrected her a couple of times, and others have also corrected her in front of me, but I don’t even really notice any more. Our interactions, while frequent, are not really substantial, so who cares?!

I definitely think they have an open relationship, but there are probably rules about discretion and the like.

This, a million times. Kendall is fine, but she is a totally average model, and her look is much more suited to Gap, Abercrombie, (maaaybe) Ralph Lauren, etc. campaigns. She’s not high fashion looking and her walk is atrocious.

I’ve seen this gif probably 1000 times and I used to watch The Game, and yet I never realized that this gif was from there! Dropping knowledge bombs, you are!

Well, transwomen don’t identify as men, so what is your point?

Ah, agreed. Yes, the talking heads are not very precise with their language, and you’re right that they almost certainly mean actual transcript and probably any other records HLS has in its possession.

Not sure where you’re getting this idea that “most” transcripts have a notation regarding immigration status. I see ~250 law school transcripts a year and have never once encountered such a notation. I also just checked my own to be sure—definitely not there.

It’s a two-fold, conflicting reasoning. The first, ideal outcome, is that the transcript somehow reveals he was admitted as a foreign student and not a U.S. Citizen, which would prove he’s a Kenyan citizen. The second is that the transcript would reflect he was admitted as an affirmative action applicant. Of course,…
