Pretty sure @Midnight did a sketch of what “Friends” would look like if it was set in today’s era. It was 2 minutes of 6 people in a coffee shop, ignoring each other & typing on their phones. I’m guessing it would be like that, but longer.

My 2 y.o. ... and also not wrong.

Seconded. I remember going to fittings and wondering to myself “who the FUCK are these sample sizes designed for?!” And then going to the gym & running for 3 hours while crying. God, I do not miss that job.

That would require them to actually care, not just want some headline-grabbing “hooray for us!!!” (that’s gloriously backfiring).

Former model here, and I’m about to have a rage stroke. As if the fashion industry in general doesn’t already treat models as human props who have no agency over their own bodies, FFS. Also, as a former anorexic (not caused by the industry, but certainly not helped either) a contract like this one would’ve sent me…

How many times can I star this?

Jeezus — I’m so sorry. That sounds terrifying.

Not to mention that her vegetative state resulted from a complication from an eating disorder. As a survivor of that myself, I can tell you that there are some intense, complicated (fucked up) family dynamics behind that. Her parents were on Team Keep Her A Vegetable — and no one in the press made that connection or…

I want you to be right. I don’t think you are, but gaaaaahhhhd, I want you to be right.

Stop, you’re making me enjoy statistics!

When my son did that, my husband’s helpful reply was “waffle stomp!” I had to go to Urban Dictionary to learn how unhelpful he was being ...

I did that once, at a party that I was attending WITH MY BOYFRIEND. Everyone seemed to fall into 2 camps: a) oh, you’re over-reacting, he’s just being playful; or b) I’m going to pretend you aren’t being openly harrassed because saying something will make ME uncomfortable. It was awful & we ended up leaving before…

Fair enough. That’s a legit concern.

This. Also, my first thought was “I’ll bet every single person who’s freaking out about “gender neutral” bathrooms has used the single stall that’s available in a store/small restaurant/rural gas station at some point in their lives without ever giving it a second thought.

Hahaha. Well played. (Also: not shade! I studied.)

starred for 90's fashion deep cuts! /tips hat

I only made it 22 seconds. Off to take a boiling-hot shower ....

Hahahaha! I was at Ashley Furniture. I’d never seen such a thing, and thought they were unique to that store. Clearly there’s been a quiet infiltration of the general culture while I wasn’t paying attention.

I was just couch shopping, and I’m pretty sure I saw that exact monstrosity. I’m with you!

All I can think of is that sketch from the Dave Chapelle show, with Eddie Murphy & Rick James.
