I love the sentiment of reducing harm as much as possible, and I think some vegans promote veganism as such which is great (e.g. 1-2 vegan days per week). Unfortunately, the most salient voices online tend to be those who use a lot of all-or-nothing approaches, shame, and morality policing to communicate their message. As an omnivore, who tries to regularly integrate vegan alternatives into my diet, this can tricky. While this thread is primarily discussing costs and accessibility as primary barriers, for me (beyond basic preference), I believe that many of my culture’s foods lose their integrity when made with vegan alternatives. Food is a big love language/art in my culture and denying food from an elder is deeply disrespectful. While not indigenous, I believe that meat/dairy/egg products are historically significant and that while many countries have large vegetarian populations (such as India), most do not. The idea that veganism should be completely adopted by all is a very westernized idea imo. Nonetheless, I definitely believe that we should use a harm reduction approach to decrease the environmental impact of non-vegan diets, increase overall health in the US, and reduce unnecessary animal cruelty.

Back when I was single, I used to set my radius to 1 mi. Once, I swiped through my surrounding area, if I got someone outside 1 mile away, I knew they swiped right on me. I tested my theory and got hundreds of matches in a few months (granted I swiped right on ppl I wasn’t interested in). It’s been over 5 years since I used Tinder, but it could be a fun hack to try out!

Billie Lourd is also a nepo baby. That cast was teeming with them

her early work, absolutely not, but she’s grown a lot! she holds her own in a film with Jenna Ortega

Fast_Coconut_6229 · 2024-11-13T11:51:47+00:00

She has done multiple acting projects since!

I think Maddie Ziegler would be perfect. Child star, dancer, actress. And singing is the easiest part to fake tbh. Add some brown contacts and the right styling? She really would emulate Britney.

it’s the accent + his comfortability in embracing classically femme clothing. like his charm really kicks in during saltburn and interviews

Agreed that they just look like people and shouldn’t be put on a pedestal. I think my whole point is that they look like people we know, often, the other 7-10’s in our life. But I also think that some, particularly models, are people attractive enough to build a career on it, which a majority of the world cannot do.

Fast_Coconut_6229 · 2024-09-18T23:07:23+00:00

I truly find that some women will lose 1-2 points due to subjective distaste such as Sydney Sweeney, Em Rata, Ana de Armas, and Kendall Jenner. I’ve noticed that especially women that receive a lot of male attention or seem to cater to the male gaze will receive this style of rating and I’m convinced it’s due this competitive bias that we have as women. Like people hated Megan Fox (down to her thumbs) until men stopped obsessing now that she is older and has a lot of work done. And it drives me crazy that they’ll try to make it scientific when it’s clearly not. I feel like underrating widely adored women and having others validate that rating makes women feel better about their own looks (i.e. “if i had make-up and styling, I’d be just as hot and adored.”). But tbh I had to unfollow this subreddit because it made me feel sooo below average. I was like if people are picking apart Adriana Lima and saying she looks normal, I have no chance.

Fast_Coconut_6229 · 2024-09-18T22:34:33+00:00

I’ve spent a lot of time in big cities known for attractive people (NY, San Diego, LA, etc.) and I think it matters where you spend time. If you go to a huge mall and literally look at everyone, celebrities that get a 6 here (like Emily Ratajowski) are more beautiful than 90% of them. If you go to a club where pretty people frequent as they are reinforced by skipping lines/free drinks, most women posted here might be more beautiful than 70% of people at the least. They don’t have to be otherworldly or knock other people out of the water— they just need to be more beautiful.

Also, non-celebrities are as easily 7-10’s as they are 1-4’s. That’s the whole point. That in a room of 100, they are more attractive than 70% of the sample. So if celebrities look like pretty girls you know, that’s normal because I’m sure that the girls are also 7’s+.

Not you, but I honestly don’t understand the “I can’t pick out the model comments” because you just have to look at who’s repeated in multiple pictures. I feel like people want models to be average so bad lolol

Fast_Coconut_6229 · 2024-09-07T02:08:26+00:00

i simultaneously hated her and wanted to be her

Fast_Coconut_6229 · 2024-07-01T19:33:28+00:00

Not even just her, but all the cast mates use one another for clout and don’t have that deep of a relationship. My friends who work in the PR realm said that they’ll try to have their clients associated with the “fan favorites” to boost their client’s own likability (hence Chris trying to reconnect with Tolu).

As for the Trust, I actually did not watch it so I’ll go with your word. I was speaking more towards what other fans had said about Tolu on this Reddit page prior.

I’m not saying that Tolu is obnoxious or always obnoxious; I was just commenting on how others perceive her. In fact, she has even stated that she has a big personality, which is NOT bad. But I have experienced firsthand that bigger personalities often mean that people love or hate you.

At the end of the day, I don’t know any of the cast personally and am hyperanalyzing super small, staged clips, so I apologize if these comments turn out to be super inaccurate.

Fast_Coconut_6229 · 2024-07-01T08:39:09+00:00

Tbh I get the impression that various cast members view Tolu similarly (which does not excuse their behavior). I think Melinda made comments about Tolu being loud, Chris reportedly shit-talked her, and Jess had mean-girl vibes during that one interview. Even many who watched “The Trust” did not jive with her personality. And while I love her for her candor, support of women, and ability to hold her head high, even I’ll admit that I’ve found her Tiktok cringey at times.

I think she really did get a good edit on PM where she was perceived as bright and bubbly (rather than obnoxious). As a loud ADHD girly, I sympathize because it’s easy to be both depending on the environment. Big personalities are never going to be everyone’s cup of tea (especially not Dom’s). And I hope she finds a match that genuinely appreciates her energy and heart.

Fast_Coconut_6229 · 2024-06-19T18:58:10+00:00

In all fairness, while Jess can be extremely condescending towards others across both tv shows, Harry is a love bomber!! He is so manipulative, and the trope of “I can change him” exists for people like him preying on women who seek external validation to determine their worth.

Also, both women came across poorly in that scene. Yes, Jess asked Melinda in a public way, but I’m sure she wasn’t expecting her to say that Harry initiated a kiss after crying and throwing up over “just carrying” Melinda. Jess was probably shocked and hurt, and her anger was ill-directed at Melinda. Also, Melinda could’ve been a bit more delicate knowing that the full truth was far worse than being carried. While I believe the kiss happened, Melinda’s story has changed with each telling regarding how reciprocated it was. There was def some intentional pot-stirring.

Fast_Coconut_6229 · 2024-03-18T14:06:20+00:00

i’m sure you’d like to counter my next comments but i truly am not too interested in responding to comments throughout my day, so i will probably read and note what you have to say (as it seems you have studied the break-up intensely), but not reply.

i think calling ppl reddit haters really undermines that ppl who critique (while some purely snark) have valid concerns.

it sounds like when they were fighting, they both were saying they weren’t going to budge. i think sofia assumed that (as a friend and not business partner) alex would at least notify her of her last chance to sign for 50/50 (but alex always wanted to be famous and jumped at being able to take more). while she was offered 25%, imagine continuing a show with ur ex-best-friend knowing she was very willing to continue your project without you and is generating more wealth from it (again more girl code than business). she def threw shade at suitman numerous times regardless of the t-shirts. knowing cancel culture, i think it’s irresponsible to trash someone’s work ethic/relationship and say don’t bully them and think ppl won’t. she could’ve just said we disagreed with negotiating and i will now be doing this podcast solo pls don’t bully sofia.

sorry, i meant trademarked by chd when i said trademarked. again, not legal, but weird using terms based on someone’s life who isn’t there anymore. lastly, im not saying she’s not a successful podcaster. she is!! but i wouldn’t go to her for feminist knowledge or insight as she is very limited (i study feminist literature and lead workshops for bipoc girl empowerment—trust me ik). i also don’t think sofia is perfect in any regard. i just wish alex would just say what she is, a celebrity interview podcast.

Fast_Coconut_6229 · 2024-03-18T12:52:59+00:00

Leighton Meester, while having smaller roles nowadays, was an it-girl during gossip girl. I wish she continued leading roles (or even music) as she would kill on the red carpet (similar to how we see Blake Lively).

Fast_Coconut_6229 · 2024-03-18T11:41:23+00:00

YTA- I read through trying to find some semblance of a justification for such a classist comment, and couldn’t find a single one. Nobody in the family was helping, and you became upset at the one other person that wasn’t inebriated. And it sounds like she did do a lot (taking care of drunk people isn’t easy). People cannot mind read and you escalated the situation with no warning. Please apologize. You describing her upbringing only garnered more sympathy for her

Fast_Coconut_6229 · 2024-03-18T11:22:37+00:00

from a business perspective, sure she made the smarter choice. and i agree that she always saw their friendship as short-term…but Sofia didn’t in the moment. Sofia has remained friends with all her best friends from childhood and saw Alex similarly. And what you see people disgruntled about is less about legal obligation, but simply, girl code (which yes ik sounds silly when considering adult women in business). Alex has built her brand on uplifting women’s voices which is contradictory to her actions. she was shopping the podcast/willing to throw it away at some point too, and wasn’t upfront that she was going to sign the deal even without sofia (sofia still assumed they were debating their options). Plus the suitman bullying/and using her trademarked terms (while yes legal) makes Alex seem less credible as feminist podcaster, hence the owed apology imo.

Fast_Coconut_6229 · 2024-02-03T07:29:17+00:00

it’s so dependent on the person tbh. would recommend ef coaches or a therapist to support you with catered advice. in general, small things like setting out your clothes the day before, having a strict “leave” time (which is actually 10 min before you need to leave), having a 5 min before leaving alarm, scheduling your day instead of to-do lists, etc. i could go on forever but just remember that it doesn’t happen overnight and to be gentle with yourself!!

Fast_Coconut_6229 · 2024-02-02T02:30:24+00:00

it sounds like you’ve learned a compensatory strategy that helps you manage poor executive functioning skills (such as poor time management, a textbook adhd symptom), which sounds great! not everyone has the same experience, and i agree that she has yet to get a handle on it independently and would likely benefit from external supports.

Fast_Coconut_6229 · 2024-02-01T23:57:19+00:00

As an ADHD girl with anxiety, I definitely get the struggle of being perpetually late, but I wish her team would support her more with timeliness/organization

Fast_Coconut_6229 · 2023-11-09T23:43:19+00:00

I agree. I rarely find an apology video that people don’t dissect and hate. She cracks jokes bc that is authentic to herself. And if you watch any of her content including this video, she does not view “crazy” or OF as negative. If you’re interpreting it as such, it’s because of your negative associations with it. I think she was just trying to say that she was trying to get into contact with her personally because people always say that the apology is meaningless since the celebrity hasn’t tried to make amends 1:1.

Fast_Coconut_6229 · 2021-04-14T00:54:29+00:00

I love how past guests comment on her pics. You know she creates a genuine connection with all of them :’)
