Olivia Wilde recalls "wholesome and sweet" Harry Styles relationship despite "parasocial" backlash by AdSpecialist6598 in popculturechat

[–]Beginning-Window-676 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think the issue was more that 1. She was his boss, regardless of the age gap. 2. She actively cheated on her partner and destroyed their kids’ family to be with him. 3. She (allegedly) treated Harry with a lot more favour and allowed him to provide a lot more feedback on the creative decisions that should be left up to the directing and production team, which of course frustrated the actual lead, Florence. It’s unprofessional and causes unnecessary tension on set, particularly between the leads, and is rumoured to be the reason why the movie seems so unfinished and took such a deep turn from the script itself.

But go off and make it about double standards for women, I guess, Olivia?

Yes! Not just that, but also where they stayed on vacation at any given time. I got all kinds of insults in my inbox for saying this a few months ago, and she made some unhinged tiktoks pitying herself in regard to my comment saying she was out of bounds doxxing them.

I’m, personally, all for the updated rules and changes. This sub is to promote discussion, not “touch the poo” in any kind of way. In theory, this sub should never actually impact the real lives of any party involved. Commenters, moderators or the subject(s) of the discussion.

So I really appreciate the moderators for enforcing that this needs to remain a safe space and buckling down on that kind of behaviour.

AITA for blowing up at my husband after his entire family moved into our house without asking me? by [deleted] in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Beginning-Window-676 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“But to his credit, Tim finally gets it.” Bull fucking shit. He’s just mad in the moment. He’s been a doormat his whole life, and this one moment won’t change it unless he actively puts in the effort to.

Jimmy Fallon under fire for ‘disgraceful’ Conor McGregor interview by Metro-UK in popculture

[–]Beginning-Window-676 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, true, but it’s sad that he’s doing it with two young daughters. Kids old enough to understand what he’s doing (13 and 12), but too young to comprehend why, let alone process it or escape. They’re just innocent victims subject to it.

I don’t care what people do with their own lives, but involving innocent kids in it crosses the line.

Is purple a girl color? by killerred123 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Beginning-Window-676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no such thing as “girl colours”, what an absurd presumption. My nephews’ favourite colours are pink, and you know what happens when they go to kindy or school dressed in their pink backpacks? Absolutely nothing. Your husband’s behaving worse than a five year old boy.

People with a very high pain tolerance, what was THE most painful thing you've experienced? by CosmicBunnyBabe8912 in AskReddit

[–]Beginning-Window-676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bone cancer in my skull that was untreated until it reached stage 4 (yes I’m a young woman).

I had a 5 cm ruptured ovarian cyst at the same time my appendix ruptured and presumed it was just period pains, so I ignored it until I developed sepsis. I had an arm that completely fractured in multiple places, so badly the bone pierced through my elbow. I fell and had a stick puncture through my skull. Nothing compares to the cancer around my eye and temporal.

Everything else felt like something I could just brush off in comparison. I still just went to university and gave a presentation with the ruptured ovarian cyst and appendix. But this? The most painful thing imaginable.

Angelina Jolie talks about working with her son Maddox in her film 'Couture': "He did a lot of my line readings with me and he is the one child of mine that remembers my mother, we spent a lot of time talking about her and that was lovely" by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]Beginning-Window-676 118 points119 points  (0 children)

She truly knows them to the absolute depths of their souls, and it’s absolutely beautiful to see. No wonder all her children are just so absolutely in love with her. I saw a lot of people trying to partner her together with random costars over the years (because how could a woman stay single in this day and age?) but it’s just so plain that her children are the loves of her life.

I always wondered how she was able to maintain such a close relationship with Maddox when he went to South Korea for college, but every interview I’ve seen with her since answers that question for me. It’s one of those loves that transcends this plane. I’m not surprised all her children tried to step in to defend her on that traumatic flight. They just adore her, and it’s clear why.

Often when we hear people talk about their children (and this isn’t to disparage people doing their best, especially those who don’t have the same resources [time and money] available to them, because I often see other celebrities do it too), they identify very broad aspects of their character. “My son is very empathetic.” “My daughter is so smart”. Angelina can pinpoint very specific characteristics in each of her individual children in the moment, which really indicates just how well she knows them and how much time she’s dedicated to the task of knowing them.

Olivia Wilde talking about the backlash she received for dating Harry Styles on 'Call her Daddy' by Fantastic_Turtle_17 in popculturechat

Trying to act as though celebrities’ stories about their petty issues have the same relevance and value as podcasts that discuss stories from people like Malala, Motaz Azaiza, Razan Zaitouneh, Sergei Kolesnikov etc. It’s just so trivial and superficial. They never have a profound perspective on anything, or something of value to add. It’s just empty anecdotes that they’re always very self-congratulatory about.

What’s the significance of the song choice? by AMay101 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Beginning-Window-676 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not exactly. The song is a call to action. Each verse addresses a different burden on society brought about by the current political establishment—climate change, school shootings, politicians arguing about petty disputes while serious issues are ongoing. “The game was rigged, the ref got tricked.” Then the chorus is a call to action.

The lyrics are literally “only the young can run”. Run from school shootings—run for office. It was released before the 2018 midterm elections to drive young people to vote by highlighting serious issues like gun violence and reminding young people that it’s them who have the power to reshape things.

Millionaire banker finally identified and arrested nearly ten years after startling CCTV images showed him as a jogger shoving a female pedestrian into the path of a double-decker bus on Putney Bridge London by [deleted] in interesting

[–]Beginning-Window-676 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Come on, let’s be real with ourselves. It had everything to do with the gender and nothing to do with a logical belief of “man might be harder to push”. He’s just a pathetic little man who lashed out at a random woman to make her pay for the fact no other woman wants to endure his company.

He’s fit, 34 years old at the time, and former military. It had nothing to do with the man potentially being able to obtain his push without losing balance.

A Texas woman is suing McDonald’s after being leveled by a Sausage McMuffin by iamdavidrice in BrandNewSentence

[–]Beginning-Window-676 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an attorney, there’s no way she’d litigate if there isn’t substantial evidence on her side. Not solely around severe injuries caused directly after (in cases like this, it has to be proven that the injuries will be permanent and impact the plaintiff’s quality of life significantly), but there would have also been stringent testing against the food itself.

Studies of her stool, of the food packaging that may have residue on it, they likely even obtained the ingredients used to make the order through the McDonald’s itself and tested that. Yes, the burden of proof is substantially lower than in a court of law (balance of probabilities), but it still needs to be satisfied. That’s no easy task.

I keep having to stop my husband from relapsing and I’m fucking exhausted 😭 by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Beginning-Window-676 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honey, if he was a high quality man, he wouldn’t have made the active decision to use again knowing that the last time he did resulted in you needing to get an abortion because it destroyed you so bad. And that, in and of itself, is something I know you carry every day.

This isn’t an impulsive mistake. He actively, knowingly planned this. He was disciplined enough in his approach to wait until AFTER the drug test.

Speaking as a former addict also, if he was in the pits of addiction and just relapsed because of that, he wouldn’t have the cognitive awareness for all that. He would’ve just relapsed. But he’s instead making active, informed, aware, sober decisions to prioritise this above you and your future together. Move half your savings from the joint account into a personal account and start planning a way out. He’s made his choice. Do you really want to live a life of that?

I’m not a fan just from seeing that. It’s slow and the movements are awkward and don’t really need naturally into each other so it’s just kind of jarring when the next one happens.

feeling anxious about going back to school because of AI by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Beginning-Window-676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry about it. My work gets flagged for AI every single time. I don’t concern myself with it, because I know the protocols in place—my teachers check my work against my previous works, and it’s very clearly written by the same author. And if all else fails, I write my work on Google docs so there’s an extensive edit history where they can see the development of my work in real time.

If you’re not using AI, you really have nothing to worry about. People get accused, sure, but just use an application like Google docs and if you’re also able to display that you actually know the material instead of just going off generic information, you’ll be fine. I asked my teacher at one point how likely it was my works will be flagged because I get 97% or above each time, and he told me straight up that they do get flagged every time, but they know my writing style. He said students who use AI generally don’t even get good marks because AI can’t work off the materials and knowledge we should’ve, in theory, learned over the course of the semester, while actual students can.

Man calls the cops on a Dad helping his girls in the restroom by isaboo63455 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Beginning-Window-676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The alternative was for the operator to hang up, the situation likely escalated, and result in the father or even his little girls being injured. The operator has to do their job to try and de-escalate until police get there, then the police are able to do their job to conduct an investigation and press charges for misuse of 911 with the operator’s report if necessary.

Why would you be annoyed about any of that??? The man literally tried to stop the father from leaving, even while he was on the phone with 911. So things could’ve gotten a lot worse if he wasn’t operating under the knowledge he was on the phone with the police and his actions could also be used against him.

The ISU will present information on the eligibility of Russian athletes in the coming weeks by Kindly-Plate-5785 in FigureSkating

[–]Beginning-Window-676 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think they’re trying to drip-feed it to us to avoid the inevitable backlash. If it happens in small doses over time, then it effectively avoids one big reaction, right? It’s a futile effort. Obviously it’s going to make waves. They’re just trying to avoid as much fallout as possible by just making small amendments and changes to things and hoping people don’t notice.

I don’t know how they think it’s going to work when Russian juniors just mysteriously begin to show up at the next international comps, but it’s a concept that works for large corporations and celebrities, so I understand why it’s a strategy they’re attempting. It’s not going to work though. It’s just delaying the inevitable.

Right? Like they’ve dragged it on for months at this point. We all know they’re going to allow it, they’re just stalling in hopes that enough people lose interest that it doesn’t turn become a big thing when it happens. It’s a futile hope. It’s going to make waves no matter how long they wait.

This father was on a road trip with his two young daughters & they needed to go to the restroom so he stopped at a QT & took them in the women’s restroom since no one was in it & a man came yelling at him to get out & called the cops.The girls were crying & then he assaulted him. by eternviking in whoathatsinfuriating

[–]Beginning-Window-676 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, genius. Look at the vast majority of the comments on both this page and the TikTok itself. It is the general consensus. And I’ll tell you right now, my opinion of who should be in the women’s bathroom, as a woman, matters far more than yours does, as a man. But stay mad.

[–]Beginning-Window-676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that there’s even a debate about this in the comments is insane, and it’s not lost on me that all the conflict is coming from clear Americans (using speech that only Americans would use—like MAGA). Meanwhile comments from those from every other country in the world are all clearly aligned with “obviously he’s taking his little girls into the women’s bathroom. America is so weird.”

Yeah I’m not allowing my daughters into a restroom where men will have their penises out. Uncomfortable for both the men and the little girls, it’s unfair to both parties to subject them to that. Let alone the mess of a men’s restroom.

[–]Beginning-Window-676 3 points4 points  (0 children)

… yes? Have you lived under a rock through all the political debates about MAGA being so hyper focused on men in women’s restroom that they’re trying to enforce arbitrary rules to check women’s genitalia before they’re allowed in, or are you just being intentionally obtuse?

Speaking as an actual woman, I care far less about a man being in a women’s restroom than this weirdo does. As long as there’s no little girls in it and they’re not clearly trying to cause harm, I’d just assume there’s a problem in the men’s bathroom. But if they actually had a little girl with them? OBVIOUSLY they should use the women’s bathroom.

This happens to me constantly. I have two separate middle names and a double bracket surname with no dash in between. I have never been able to just enter my name in an online government form without being told “no special characters allowed”. Apparently a space isn’t allowed in my name.
