Ha! I’d never considered that before and now I’m curious about re-watching episodes. You may have a point - I'm wondering why they were such a dead-zone...

Dealing with a major douche like that, unable to sever the relationship and having to keep things “friendly” because he’s her source...yes, emoticons would actually come in very handy. They are the text equivalent of forcing a bright (yet pained) smile, as many do in person with garden-variety jerks, and many women do…

It's not about how he spoke to her, it's that she was told he was her source yet he was repeatedly and sometimes forcefully demanding sex in return for team info. "I'll give you what you need for your job if you have sex with me" is harassment. "I won't let you out of this garage unless you come upstairs and have sex…

Yeah that bothered me...though the interviewer specifically asked her if she'd ever had an arch nemesis. He likely knew there might be a good anecdote, because otherwise that's an odd question to ask.

Scientology would be a key contributor to any insecurities she has. I read Leah Remini's book and it was unbelievable, between the 'church' beliefs, and their 'auditors' etc., it all causes significant emotional and psychological damage...akin to being in an abusive relationship. Like many who are blind to emotional…

That is the unfortunate reality of shift-work; your break is the time to pee, unless it's a dire situation. Customer service agents aren't whipping it out amongst their headset colleagues. Nor cashiers. On-duty emergency services workers would be the same. If they can manage it, the plant operator can.

Even better would be to always use both, side by side. The cold dead eyes of the rapey douche bro, next to the 'who me?' nerdy guy...those 2 pics tell a big story about judging character on appearance.

In his case, likely less patriarchy and more sociopathy. Entitled, charming, breaks the law, flaunts his actions, gets offended easily/thinks he's being disrespected. The victim’s fear of offending him is classic walking on eggshells. And he's an excellent chameleon - no one who knew either the rapey frat bro or the…

I am so happy someone said this.

Also, sociopaths have "duper's delight", the rush they get from getting away with things...and if it's especially blatant and they're flaunting things, then it's even better. And not only was he breaking curfew, but he was casually chatting with a reporter...

True, though it’s another extreme - whipping it out mid-shift on the assembly line in the presence of others, to avoid wasting break time - and then getting management approval for his actions... It gives me the icky feeling that processing-plant peeing is not necessarily uncommon :(

That look is kind of her thing, a startled Lolita vibe. I kind of get the idea of impressions from her own music - like she's showing how she's like Mariah, or how she can sound R&B, but not that she really feels the music. Maybe it's a management thing.

Did she know that the SNL writers were punking her, with the “I don’t know what she’s saying” line...? Because that is one of the most frequent complaints I’ve read about Grande. And I realized it's one reason I haven't warmed to her - she does not enunciate at all, with a vocal style that's basically 'blurry'.

Nope, she just has a low hairline...when she does a side part it's hidden, whereas it's more obvious with a middle part.

Exactly. And despite their control & manipulation tactics, and the various people who have seen what they are really like, they still manage to maintain a good image. Which means that any accuser looks like they are the one with issues...

I see his comments as giving praise to both women, respect for & belief in them. They were both somewhat ‘known’ before appearing in his movies but they weren’t well-known by the general movie-going public - saying they were unleashed on the public in those roles is accurate. The real issue is that no one else had…

Don’t be self-critical, he too should relate to her a bit too much. One would expect he’d actually be more sensitive to her position...and ask you if you’ve experienced anything she faced, & have flash-backs to work issues you’ve mentioned in the past. (side note, as the fiancé of a female attorney, his attitude…

I loved a few points she made. As someone from a dysfunctional family who's been through therapy, there were also things that jumped out. Being empowered by our bodies is one thing, but using it for attention is another - for many that's a reliance on external validation of their worth & value. We should feel worthy &…

It was mind-blowing when it all happened. And that slow-speed Bronco chase was both riveting & absolutely insane at the same time.

Interestingly the house wasn’t part of the civil settlement - OJ had defaulted on the mortgage & the bank bought it at auction...after paying the mortgage there was a lineup of creditors including his lawyers. The guy who demolished it was the 2nd buyer.
