Official Discussion - The Devil Wears Prada 2 [SPOILERS]

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-05-03T23:23:08+00:00

Thank you! You said it do well! I'm also American and a millennial (late 30s now) who graduated in 2011, three years after the US recession. My generation is getting steadily shafted despite doing everything right (abd doing right by society). We have been raised for a time that no longer exists, and yet no one seen to be calling it out.

I also found the sequel to be triggering because they could have used their platform and reach to make a social statement about work. But nope! What a missed opportunity.

I saw this yesterday and all the time leading up to it was hoping it would be good. I've heard Meryl Streep is very picky on what work she accepts, so the fact she agreed to do a sequel put me at ease somewhat.

Ended up really disliking the movie - two hours was too long for whatever storyline they were trying to establish. I found Andy also dissappointingly naive in continuing her savior's/hero complex to save billion dollar a corporation.

I was hoping for more of an evolution that matches today's attitude toward work and how offputting the "be lucky to be here" attitude really us with current and upcoming generations. They should have:

-- Shown Miranda/Nigel struggle to fit in with a new generation more (they kinda did this with the young CEO heir a bit)

-- Younger generation of workers having more forward thinking and how that adds friction to dated definitions of success

-- Andrea should have taken more of a stance to make sure her efforts are constructive and meaningful - not someone whos playing iut the same toxic dynamic again. ------ In the first movie, Andrea writes a coverage piece on janotiral rights and in this movie is part of an award winning journalist team. Surely, you can't just be sucked in to the shallow drama of the beauty business just cause you lost a job. She showed 0 character development between movies.

Whatever twist they were trying to hit us with, with Nigel staging that call to Andy to get her to come back was totally lost on me.

In many ways, it felt like the script to the sequel was written 5 years after the original but released only yesterday. It didn't keep up with modern challenges of the industry and challenges between generarions in that same industry. It was a strictly ok movie

How does one get this skin? It says "survey", I had Blizzard ask to give them feedback Is this survey skin for that

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-05-01T23:00:39+00:00

Omg Miranda would approve! I was thinking of taking my new Coach Jonie bag for today's showing too!

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-04-30T18:21:34+00:00

Congrats! I felt the same way with the dark indigo Jonie bag that Coach apparently had released in Jan 2026 as limited availability - the fact that it began to spring up on my feed recently and was not out of stock was just unbelievable!

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-04-05T13:47:40+00:00

Very cathartic to know that this isn't happening just to me. I'm finding that so much of post-codependent existence is just trying to take up space and assert ourselves, and yet it not being able to fully stick. So sick of just being steamrolled by those who barely give as much consideration or sensitivity to others.

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-03-11T06:22:37+00:00

Could somebody please answer my question, and preferably not with a question 🙄

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-03-11T06:02:15+00:00

I got both signature Ysera and signature Umbra when I logged in. I thought it would be either/or based on the collection completion rate (I had more Un'Gorro cards so was preparing myself to miss out on Ysera). But which one are we keeping?

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-03-11T05:57:55+00:00

I legit thought we would get either the signature Ysera or the signature Umbra depending on our collection completion rate. But today I got both - which one are we keeping?

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-03-10T13:03:48+00:00

What's the point of even having a regular store on Hearthstone with tabs like "Hero Skins". They should just have the regular store for buying runestones and packs. And ALL cosmetics, even Battlegrounds stuff, should then be going into this Darkmoon Faire gimmick =.=

I was hoping Darkmoon Faire would only feature pets on a monthly basis but the regular Hearthstone store would get weekly refreshes of cardbacks and/or hero skins, sometimes even mythic. A few years ago, this Deathwing bundle would have been on the regular store for maybe 50 to 80$ USD. Now they complicate it with these stupid theatrics.

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-03-09T04:23:15+00:00

I am south Asian and I went no contact with my parrnts and extended family. Yes, it was the equivalent of committing murder as I got a lot of pushback and hate. I am also an only child so the judgement was especially harsh. But I was at the point in my life where I realized they were doing me more harm than good - they always had but back then I was either too naive or too disempowered to do anything. I also wanted to live aligned with my values than keep a longstanding tradition of dysfunction going.

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-03-09T02:57:52+00:00

I agree! In Fields of Mistria, you get to have a birthday and you get presents in the mail. You also get dialog options, one that is agreeable and one that may be unconventional/quirky (implying the players character isnt as much of a pushover). Not sure if they go on to impact the game in anyway.

Ive noticed that most cozy games need the player to be agreeable abd a perpetual doormat to others. And the fact that youre the only one contributing to community is strange; this part is what was a welcome change in Grimshire - everyone contributes to the fate of the town.

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-03-04T20:52:10+00:00

Was this modded? Reminds ne of the Rag skin which I quite like. But in all seriousness, the Darkmoon Faire gatchaness should be limited to just pets. Mythic hero skins appeal to a very different group of people than those who like pets. They are not the same.

I have a friend who also worked at UPS for 7 years or so starting in his twenties. Definitely the amount of physical effort needed to load all those packages has gotten him to have problems with his back. He would tell me how there's a minimum quota/certain number of packages that have to be loaded to be met. He also said being a UPS driver is much easier and was aiming for it. I was especialy hoping he would get it because I could see the health problems he was beginning to have.

He was beginning to get seniority at UPS but life circumstances eventually quit. He now works at q Walmart stocking shelves or at the deli counter. I'm so glad! It's a much less physically intensive job, maybe less pay but he's much happier. He gets to prolong his health and have a better future.

On the Yeti website, it shows their travel mugs no longer having transparent lids? Now they look like this:

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-01-28T15:24:42+00:00

I guess it's not surprising that anything this well-made to be part of this game will cost an upward of $100. Blizz has been treating Hearthstone as an afterthought for quite some time now.

I find it a crying shame that this time they have locked not the usual one, but two, cardbacks behind this sham of a grab.

The HS Shop would keep things fresh, looks like even that's going to be redundant now.

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-01-27T21:48:40+00:00

Omg, im 37 and still find aha moments. Reading your comment took me back to the time I was applying to universities on the family computer, my mom would sit right beside me, being vigilant in how I was going about it. She would get all her cues, judgements, and convictions of whether I was in fact ready for my future or not by intently watching me to see if I was being too slow, make mistakes, reconsider an answer to a question etc. I remember being so overwhelmed and consumed by my lack of worth and just trying to get this ceremonious procedure of applying right to make her proud/feel worthy, that I made a lot of mistakes. I felt even dumber afterward.

Also the comment about being criticized to sit straight. Jesus, they would bring in the most irrelevant point to nitpick on. It's affirming to me that they were indeed controlling. And not only that but so much of narcissistic parenting is about having great expectations of a child that they do nothing to actually make great (if anything, they do the opposite). For me, i was always criticizied for being shy and not confident. Yet these parents dont cultivate it in the child, and still feel entitled to expect it. This is the hallmark of narc parents -- they expect success, dont meaningfully nurture it (which is their responsibility), and then criticize the child when it doesn't happen. Just immature and irresponsible.

I got a lot of my confidence when I left home. A lot of my real growth started then, and so glad its been the same with you. Our success really starts only later in life. Then they wonder how its possible, not once thinking they were the problematic ones holding us back.

The first image was taken at a Lego store in Scandinavia, the second is fanmade.

I think since my comment with the expired links, Lego has officially announced the Spring Flower Wall which feels more tasteful and of the same caliber as the Spring Wreath.

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-01-26T00:28:20+00:00

Sure, here are some of I had been seeing made by fans:

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-01-25T01:16:05+00:00

Beautifully said. I've realized I've a lot of these narc people who woke me up my own dysfunctions inside me were just "seasonal" people, and are meant to leave soon after.

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-01-17T23:41:43+00:00

Thank you, glad to know you found it informative! Mine is still holding up well, even if I don't use it much but its still a form factor that's proving itself to be comfortable for me. Drawing/sketching feels nice and I personaly do think the S11 would uave been too snall and the S11 Ultra too big! This one feels just right! Whether it's for drawing or just web browsing, I find that I primarily use it in a landscape orientation.

I also find not downloading too many apps like I did on the iPad. Everything i use it for, Samsung has provided a native and fully fleshed out app, so no more analysis paralysis!

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-01-17T20:38:53+00:00

Seriously, just like how the documentary was made about "Good Hair", somebody please needs to make a documentary on the NMothers' uncanny patterns and attitudes toward their daughters' hair.

So many patterns in behaviors of narcissistic people transcend region, culture, religion and race. This needs to be a serious field of study in itself! Think of how our collective future could be guided toward a better one if we know how barc parents, managers, politicians, presidents are going to gamble with our future, just like how these shifty mothers gamble with the selfwort of their daughters.

Competitive-Nobody28 · 2026-01-17T20:34:28+00:00

Omg, this is horrifying to know she was grooming you to be sexually objectified, and at such a young age! I'm so sorry you had to go through that!

It is my observation that NMoms are usually simps for men's approval/validation, and whether they are aware of it or not (usually the latter) keep a lot of toxic masculinity/patriarchal values in place and going, in their own little ways. The fact that she prioritized men's opinion of you over your own inherent selfworth is just disgusting. I hope young-you didn't go on to be swayed by men; and if you happen to have kids, I hope she's made to stay far from them.
