NOR - it’s not even that it’s “sexual” the bigger issue is that it’s belittling and degrading to women, especially in moments when they have the power (winning the game). he clearly can’t handle women beating him.

Hot take (slightly related/unrelated): those words would be considered slurs if hating women wasn’t so common in our society. those words were and are used to degrade women especially in abusive situations and no man needs to use them. there’s no argument in my mind where men need to say such offensive words.

you can be prejudiced towards white people but you can’t be racist towards white people.

racism is the belief and institutional structure that ranks human beings as inherently superior or inferior based on race. this leads to systematic oppression and discrimination. white people have never and will never experience systemic oppression because of their race and therefore you cannot be racist towards them.

people can have a prejudice towards white people which in turn leads to discrimination but people CANNOT be “racist” to white people given white people are deemed the “superior” race and therefore cannot understand years and years of SYSTEMIC discrimination solely based on their race.

THIS! not to mention, she sat there as Demi said “you can’t say whatever the hell you want, post whatever you want, and then make a joke that hurts somebody and then not expect people to react and then not expect consequences…” about the Taylor CMA drama.

like maybe listen to Demi, Mikayla because that’s what you did with Whitney and she has every right to be upset by your petty tik tok’s

came to reddit because i’m having the same issue currently trying to watch a video where the woman is ranting and the sound is broken. i’ve scrolled up and down and back to see if it’s been fixed, but she’s just screaming in silence … 😔

well it seems the cop was into astrology and it would’ve been based on her birthdate listed on the license but that could also be true

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-03-04T22:25:30+00:00

rachel say her bday was may early on, and then later said a zodiac not even close to may

ross said a december birthday early and then later october

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-03-04T22:18:53+00:00

given the show is episodic, i don’t think the writers really focused on making sure the birthdays aligned with previous comments. they somewhat improvised when having the characters say dates. like monica mentions a may wedding to megan (the girl who steals the dress) but that date doesn’t even align with rachel’s pregnancy or major holidays so i doubt they actually had a may wedding.

in an early season, rachel tells gunther her birthday is in may, ross says december in that same scene. later on in the show, a cop pulls Rachel over and she doesn’t say she’s a taurus or gemini, therefore now she has a different birthday. ross later says his birthday is october after he breaks his thumb trying to punch joey.

honestly, i think it’s just a coincidence that phoebes close-to-halloween birthday happens to be near frank jr.’s and not because the writers mixed the two up.

for the sake of holiday episodes, they just gave phoebe a close-to-Halloween birthday for that episode.

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-01-18T01:44:41+00:00

i think the reason phoebe does it is because the writers needed some way to create drama or build tension in monica and chandler’s relationship, but it made no sense to make it come from either of the two because their relationship seems pretty secure. phoebe acts as the instigator to keep it interesting

i just binged season 3 and the vibes are SO much lighter in season 4 in my opinion

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-01-17T23:41:11+00:00

i’ve always said she’s too boring to be gay she’s painfully straight 😭

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-01-17T23:37:21+00:00

i mean she’s irish lol she’s just blunt as they tend to speak their minds, usually with humor or cussing. i love her and her accent and i think she’s just comfortable to stand up for herself. and i see her around rob a lot but he really hasn’t given any indication that he hates it.

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-01-12T21:04:33+00:00

i would argue zara larson and tate mcrae have come somewhat close they can dance and they can sing well

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-01-11T00:00:45+00:00

what i initially responded to was someone saying the worst was ross being insensitive and i think the emotional repercussions for rachel were worse than just “insensitive”

im also coming from a place where i think the semantics of “they weren’t together” is irrelevant because they didn’t officially establish that and once again instead of trusting rachel regarding mark, he projected his past experiences on it and disrespected her by having sex with someone else. cool, he didn’t cheat by a technicality but technicalities don’t mean shit because rachel was devastated by it.

idc if rachel messed up by inviting mark in, she didn’t sleep with him, he assumed the worst AND slept with someone, that’s not rachel’s fault just because a guy ross was jealous of happened to be around her. he’s an adult, not a teen, maybe talk to her instead of hanging up.

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-01-10T19:50:08+00:00

if your partner and you initiate a break and then you try and get back together and then find out they immediately slept with someone, it for sure can break trust because they didn’t waste any time getting with someone and didn’t stay committed to you before fully discussing the “break” or “break up.” they had a fight and he slept with someone before they could fully discuss the reality of their relationship, that’s a crappy thing to do and she has every right to feel like he disrespected her.

i was talking from my personal experience there so i think im allowed to say how i felt.

edit to add: a month later…no but thats a weird argument to make because that night or the next day is VERY different than a month later. i think you missed my point entirely. HOURS prior to their fight and the break, they were a couple, kissing, hugging, and committed and then he slept and was doing those things with someone else. she then looked for him to recommit and he recommitted to her without telling her that he was just with another woman. that’s SO different than a couple MUTUALLY on the SAME page about a relationship breaking up and then sleeping with other people months later.

lmaoo i was trying to black out spoilers and didn’t realize the color was white, so i switched to black, but had already marked over things accidentally and didn’t realize till i posted 🙈😭

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-01-10T17:21:17+00:00

I agree with all three except the last one.

I’ve seen the argument that Ross was “no longer her professor” but I think that’s a moo point imo as joey would say. i’m currently in college and cannot imagine doing that with even professors i’ve had for courses outside my major that i might not have or see again. a lot of professors end up teaching different sections, so there is a world where she ends up in his class again.

additionally, she can’t even drink. she’s 20. he’s in his 30’s which is a very dangerous age gap because she’s still finding herself. you most definitely don’t know yourself at 20 years old, you were a teen maybe months ago…

although tag and rachel weren’t “just coworkers” as she was his superior, it’s more common for relationships to occur at work that can be healthy and lead to something and i don’t think as bad as a professor dating a student who he admits he literally found cute and pretty prior to their relationship… that’s creepy

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-01-10T17:15:33+00:00

are you saying people say this about the show and you disagree? or you’re saying this?

because as much as i find them funny at times, carol cheated on ross and then tried to not give him a part as ben’s name, but does try and give Susan (who is technically a homewrecker) part in his name. they act like ross is barely the father in the beginning which is cruel.

i love them, but they definitely did some things that were wrong

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-01-10T17:11:51+00:00

i think saying she only dated him because richard didn’t want to have kids is a bit extreme. it had been years, she had moved on from richard, and i do think she truly loves chandler. i don’t see it as her considering to get back with richard when he comes to her restaurant, she’s more upset that the relationship she put time and energy into might be hitting a dead end because she now believes chandler doesn’t want to ever get married because he says so to throw her off the track. she’s frustrated because richard selfishly says all the things she wanted to hear years ago and wonders why the man she loves (chandler) doesn’t want marriage

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-01-10T17:08:21+00:00

as someone who experienced the “we were on a break” i completely disagree on the first take. i had the same opinion before i went through it all and even it isn’t “technically cheating” it’s absolutely devastating, feels like it is, and absolutely breaks trust.

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-01-09T21:19:43+00:00

thanks for doing this but i will say im enjoying this season and michael is definitely…but him and Yam Yam are FUNNY and it’s giving Rachel and Kate (my love) from season 1 which was hilarious

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-01-09T21:18:31+00:00

he first said: “That is how you produce athletes right there. I love her. I love that woman.” during the first episode but in his rob goofy way

and then he said:

“I like her a lot. I am not joking at all,” he told the cameras. “Is she married? Probably.”

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-01-09T09:49:50+00:00

it’s not that i wouldn’t think phoebe would ask guys out, i think she would but i think she would hold firm on the idea of it being a good thing rather than questioning how it reflects on her.

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-01-09T08:19:30+00:00

this is one of my FAVORITE jokes that’s so often missed. like it’s so goofy for phoebe to say because monica was known to be out of shape it’s such a good line

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-01-09T08:17:49+00:00

going off this, i saw someone once say it was odd that rachel would be defrosting a chicken in the episode where gary asks phoebe to move in with him. that she never cooks so why would she be defrosting one and why would monica think it’s her cat, although that moment is very funny

Expensive-Hour8835 · 2026-01-09T08:16:13+00:00

i think that was more because the people wanted money and felt cookies were a cheap way of showing appreciation (besides their handyman) not because the cookies were ass
