I’ve lived with pretty severe bipolar disorder I since I was 14 (diagnosed only at age 28, but the symptoms set in far, far earlier than that). I know the pain of being so depressed you can’t get out of bed for days at a time, so much that even the thought of showering is too exhausting to accomplish. I know how it…

It’s in Australia. I don’t think their demographics are the same as ours and, anyways, the money collected goes to a place that helps aboriginal women. It’s a cafe, they’re not taxing anything anyone can’t live without if paying a bit more is a hardship.

Yeah, time has really softened my opinion of Mrs. Bennet. Those girls were screwed unless they married rich and she was the only one to truly acknowledge it. Her sending Jane on horseback probably did seal the deal with Bingley. And her frantic spinning/acceptance of the Lydia situation could be read as an attempt to…

Me too! I also love how at the dance, they’re really kicking up their heels and having fun. It’s not stately or classy, it’s just everybody having a grand time bouncing around. And their hair gets flyaways and messy (cuz there’s no hairspray anyway), and their faces get a bit sweaty and nobody cares cuz they’re…

YES, YES! The homey feel of the Knightley version; you do feel it, and you feel for the wastrel parents, and their goofball sisters, and yes, their kinda shabby life and lack of funds. And you do see how Lydia is indeed the star of the star of the family.

Agreed. I love the #Firth&Ehle version FOREVER, but this movie was absolutely solid! Keira is lovely without being the stunning beauty that Ehle was (is), Macfayden does key into the genuinely people shy person that Darcy is shown to be in the books.

I share your unpopular opinion and will even go a step further in saying I enjoy it more than the BBC version for all the reasons you stated. I think all the creative choices gave the material an added dimension and I really love Matthew MacFadyen’s take on Darcy - he seems like an asshole more because he’s shy and a…

Unpopular opinion; I actually love the Keira Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice because the actors were all the right age for once, the costumes and settings looked lived in and realisticly kept, it’s beautifully shot, the soundtrack is wonderful and they showed a shyer side of Darcy. I actually wish it was…

Good white people from the U.S.A., you should have more weddings just to keep him occupied.

Caitlyn is the kind of rich white woman who has just discovered that all her money and all her “I’m not like THEM, I’m not a (insert SJW/Feminazi/etc here)” bullshit isn’t going to save her from the very behavior she claims isn’t a big deal when other people complain about it. (see also: Megyn Kelly) She truly…

6.5 years doesn’t seem long enough for this shit if you ask me.

My husband and I have two kids. Early on he said he didn’t want to be outnumbered and have to go to a zone defense. So two it is.

I have one kiddo and, though I love him, that sometimes seems like too much.

3 kids seems like a lot to me, but I sometimes feel put upon by having to get up early to feed my whining cat, so what do I know.

Honestly at this point when Arya comes back and poor Sansa, who’s still pretty sane, is stuck with both of them, I think there’s very much some Three’s Company potential. Who’s going to do the dishes?????

It’s not just because she wasn’t American... it’s also shocking to Australians on the whole. They don’t live with the constant background threat of random gun violence. It simply doesn’t exist here. (I’d say crime in general is less of a thing, too... when I take my husband home to the USA I have to give him safety…

Yeah, I agree with that point. There’s a lot of good in this article, but there’s also points made in a deliberately misleading way or left unexamined. The way the Australian response was brought up to make it seem like there was an unprecedented international outcry is one of them—Australians are responding because…

The term is ‘rock spider’. There was (is?) a police unit dedicated to catching paedophiles and kiddy porn peddlers, called Operation Scorpion. Cause scorpions hunt rock spiders.

Replying to myself to add that Pell has said that he will return to Australia to fight the charges. Which I will believe when I see it. Though it just goes to show that he was lying about being too sick to fly when he refused to return for the Royal Comission to face his accusers then.
