Exactly! I think people see Jackie as the trope she’s actually made to deconstruct. We’ve seen a million versions of the angelic mousy best friend coming into her own when she rejects the evil popular girl, but that’s not what this is.

It really feels like the people who were progressive late 90s/early 2000s are having a hard time progressing past the time where they received their highest praise.

You know the cracks really started to show with Age of Ultron. It started becoming obvious then that he was still stuck in his late 90s-early 2000s crappy mentality about women. Unfortunately the rest of the world (or a lot of it) had moved forward and grown so some of the parts of Ultron really did not read well.…

So glad to see this comment. I’m binging the show now, and the tone of the reviews when it comes to Jackie makes me feel like I’m watching a completely different version of it. This is an episode where the other girls have gone murderously insane and try to rape Travis, and the takeaway is “yeah Jackie totally…

I wonder if Netflix doing zero to promote this show I’ve never heard of before this very article has anything to do with it

Sure there are a few hyper-vigilant vegans, but there is a huge number of people who would like a plant-based alternative but are okay with the fact that it may have been cooked in the same oil or on the same surface as meat.

I mean, system-wide change takes time, right? All the Takeout’s stories on this product stressed how long it took to go from planning to the actual menu. If veggie-based meat products keep growing in popularity in grocery stores, if more and more people go vegetarian, etc., eventually, fast-food places will devote one…

They are for vegetarians/vegans who get stoned, hungry, and aren’t gonna sweat the shared fryer oil issue.

I appreciate vegan versions of favorite foods. I’ve found that many foods across cultures are naturally vegan or are easily made so. It’s an easy way to make small changes that can add up to benefit your own health and the environment - even though I still eat dairy, eggs and fish and my husband eats meat outside of…

Have you ever eaten chitlins? Oh boy. There’s a reason they aren’t popular in the South anymore. The cleaning process alone is extremely labor intensive. Even after they’re cooked the smell is...something. I imagine there are a few people who really love them, but they were born of scarcity, not taste.

Based on the security history of right-wing social media, just make sure it’s something you wouldn’t care about being scraped and/or leaked to the world.

Disagree with even that.  Jackie had no idea about Travis being bullied by Nat’s ex.  It was completely unintentional and she was really just trying to make him feel better.  Travis did not break it off with Nat because of anything Jackie did or said.  He was intimidated by her experience and his lack of it, and then…

I think Jackie is an alpha in “civil” society, and she is readjusting appropriately to not just the trauma, but the loss of respect she normally had. I also feel she’s the most skeptical and the least likely to give into the supernatural beliefs(unless it benefits her, but she’ll never be a full believer), so she’s…

To be fair, there were so many people for whom Harry Potter was the only books they ever read and their sole cultural touchpoint (except for perhaps The Office and Friends) that who could expect them to understand any of the cryptobigotry?  

I am so excited about this. I had KFC maybe 5 times in my life, but when I stopped eating meat, that’s the one thing I continued to crave for a while. Of course, I’m an Old now so I’ll probably hate this and think it’s too salty/whatever, but I’m excited to try it.

Is there any particular reason that you frame your husband as being some type of horrible villain, simply for having the audacity to (presumably) fall in love with you and ask you to marry him? Because he doesnt seem to have done anything wrong here, and there are a multitude of ways you could have told this story…

As someone who is invested and understands NFTs

Shoes are foot prisons and I feel sad for your caged feets.

They appear to be outdoors, and they presumably live together. Do any mandates require a mask outdoors, when with your partner?

I don’t doubt that the conservative hate of AOC is because she’s getting under their skin and they can’t date or fuck her into submission.
