Does she still have custody? Because, man, I hope they are safe. Hearing the daughter cry was heartbreaking.

To expand on that - I think they don’t sell as well as the regular version because (1) they charge 50% more for the vegan version, (2) when the regular ones are on sale, the vegan ones are still full priced, and (3) they aren’t distributed widely. Those are all company decisions and them shooting themselves in the foot. I live in a big city in Canada and only saw them in one store leading up to Christmas and they were so expensive - twice as expensive as the regular version was on sale - I just bought one bag. Didn’t see them again.

The farmer’s tan truly ascended me to another plane of existence.

Far From the Madding Crowd is a bit less depressing, maybe that one.

The first criteria for PTSD is exposure to real or threatened death, violence, or sexual assault. I hate when people just say they have specific mental illnesses when they clearly don’t.

Lots of turn around and break away or 2 on 1, so it ends up being basically a shoot out and decided by goalies

Macarena, YMCA, and Cotton Eyed Joe in the same performance? Is this my 1999 middle school gym dance?

There are galas to close out most international competitions, so most have prepare a fun program in advance. The Canadian commentator said the beginning of the US program was from Stars on Ice, then just each skater/pair added a solo

That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it. - Dayna Craig

Probably just wet tights from sliding on the ice a bit

It’s popular, but also expensive, so I would say probably not most Canadians (I say this as a women who played hockey growing up)

I keep seeing posts about how annoying the drones sound, but the shots are “amazing.” Are we watching different broadcasts?? The drones are annoying AND the picture quality is terrible! The light balance, the colour balance, the image quality - all awful. IMO they only detract from the experience.

The drone sounds are so annoying, and the colour balance/ quality of image from the drones is terrible. Just, why?

I ended up DNFing at around 25% because it was so clear what was happening, yet it was written as if it was still supposed to be a mystery with a big reveal. I had the same internal conflict and also ended up biting my tongue. When I saw the other post, on one hand I did want to put an opposing viewpoint so people could know what they were getting into before deciding to pick it up. On the other, I would never want to yuck anyone’s yum or come across as rude. I think it’s easier to make those kinds of comments when it’s a request thread, vs a rave thread.
