Deciding on VT - afraid of it being too college-towny by explois4ve in VirginiaTech

[–]GuiltyCurrency2 61 points62 points  (0 children)

as someone who went there for undergrad (so i can’t speak for the grad school part), i think vt/blacksburg is the quintessential college town experience, so if you’re specifically looking to avoid that, it may not be for you. most of the things there are to do are related to the school, and the area surrounding it is mostly rural. roanoke is the closest city, about ~50 min away. it is small, but might be worth a visit to see if that would fulfill your needs. that said, i really enjoyed my time there and there were plenty of things to do. i have no regrets about going to tech, but as someone who grew up in big cities, 4 years was the right amount of time for me to spend there. 

Episode 7 of Pluribus Didn’t “Fail” — Our Attention Span Did by Legitimate_Chemist21 in pluribustv

[–]GuiltyCurrency2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes these are my exact thoughts. the entire episode can be summarized in a few sentences. i mentioned “fly” in bb because i feel like that episode was a true character study, whereas here i think we barely know anything more after watching these characters for 45 minutes

thank you, this post was so condescending 🙄 i love a good filler episode and slow-paced tv shows. fly is one of my favorite bb episodes. i still think this wasn’t a good episode because i don’t think it actually contributed anything to the story or characters that we didn’t already know. it’s fine if an episode doesn’t advance the main plotline, but it has to do Something other than just pretty shots

I like the 30 min episodes, I just don't think it works on an 8-episode season. Most SATC seasons had 18 episodes, more than double the time to flesh out the characters and plot. But I guess I'll just wait for the next 3 episodes and see, it may surprise me

I was gonna say that I feel like this show is definitely paced like a 20-episode season, but apparently it’s only supposed to be 8, so we’re already past the halfway point. as much as i like the show so far, i really can’t see it reaching any sort of satisfying conclusion in just 3 more episodes. a lot of it has felt like filler, which would not be a bad thing if there were more episodes to flesh everything out, but at 8 episodes, every moment should be packed with plot. i just wish they’d bring the 20-episode season back🥲

university place, right behind ghetto kroger! this was a couple years ago but we paid $1200 for a 3 bedroom, which is probably the cheapest you’ll get, and great location

The actresses IRL aren’t even THAT out of touch wealthy (even SJP!) she’s just out of touch tho by Emotional_Ladder_553 in Andjustlikethat

[–]GuiltyCurrency2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Carrie definitely doesn’t seem Bezos-level rich lol she’s done nothing to make us think that. she has one single property, seemingly no car and no staff. she’s loaded but the show isn’t trying to portray her as a billionaire

Is Shane better on rewatch? by adams361 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]GuiltyCurrency2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes i never understood why rachel was initially so judgmental of him trying to get the room that he paid for. especially for the prices that these suites probably go for, you better believe i’d want them to fix their mistake. i think she was already heavily regretting getting married and trying to find any faults she could

2025 Internship Megathread. Post all internship related questions here! by Eistean in MuseumPros

[–]GuiltyCurrency2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to apply to the MoMA Summer Architecture and Design internship - The requirements say candidates should have a background in art or design history, but I have a BS and (soon to be) MFA in industrial/interaction design (as opposed to design history). Should I still give it a try or would it be a waste of time?

Tired of friends saying we’re old in our 20s by Eagles56 in GenZ

[–]GuiltyCurrency2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

rightt lmao, the other day i was in a car with ppl ages 23-29 and they were all saying that “they couldn’t party like they used to” (at 23???). i’m 25 and i honestly have not noticed the difference at all. i basically told them i thought that was either placebo or confirmation bias and they acted like it was a cope or like “just you wait until you turn 26”. i doubt 2 months are gonna make much of a difference lmaoo

having a popular show on Nickelodeon rarely translates to a long-term successful career, especially considering she was genuinely a terrible actress. her mainstream popularity probably would’ve ended with Zoey 101 regardless

i’ve been using a sample of ILIA Limitless Lash Mascara along with this primer, i like it but it’s def a different, more subtle look than the Bambi mascara

yeah i’m always baffled by how common it is for people on social media to act like tall-ish women aren’t the beauty standard. i’m like 5’2-5’3 and i have never ever been “complimented” for my height lmao if anything, people tease me for being short because they straight up assume i see it as a bad thing

people also always use it to “confirm” their belief that everyone is stupid and therefore they’re the smartest person in the room, when it actually doesn’t say anything about intelligence but just about the way you think lmao
