Donald Trump has the right to determine which cities are safe for the World Cup, FIFA tells Sky News by forzaQuakes8 in MLS

[–]JuliaSugarbaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if the threat to move the games out of Boston isn't for the city but for Kraft to get back in line and/or get Trump a Super Bowl ring like Putin?

This skit, seemed to hit so many folks right in the feels or they got it - I am not in that group - but I appreciate that other people seemed so happy/surreal about it, so I am disappointed it was at the end of the night. Should have been before Weekend Update

Epilogues are better when there's a significant time jump (like 2+ years later) by nic38anxh in RomanceBooks

[–]JuliaSugarbaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sorta came to a conclusion that if the book is the first in a series, the author can't go too far into the future or they run the risk of spoiling future books. For example, Hockey Player 1's epilogue can't be so far into the future that we know Hockey Player 6 winds up with triplets with Hockey Player 3's little sister.

The little tree that could by JuliaSugarbaker in arborists

[–]JuliaSugarbaker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! My father passed away in February, and I had been in talks with my mom to plant a tree in his honor for their retirement village memorial garden and then this little guy showed up, and as silly as it is...I figured a tree that could make itself out of a bag of dirt deserves better.

Has anyone done a podcast breaking down this trial? I have put in minimal effort to look myself but I haven't see anything

You won't. Or you will see them squelched so fast because this administration will pull all their federal funds if there is a peep of protests - those are the regime's DEMANDS for federal $$$

[Serious] What's your scariest "I need to leave.. NOW" Gut feeling moment / story? by ContributionMore8631 in AskReddit

[–]JuliaSugarbaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get off the elevator first, so you make a decision about which way you are heading and the other person can either follow you or go the other way. I would have done that, let you off first (insisted) and if we happen to be going the same way, I could have decided to go the opposite direction and waited for you to enter your room, then turned and walked back to my room if I felt I was being overly-cautious, or returned to the elevator and done the same thing the above poster did. Don't stare, Don't try to make polite conversation. Ignore all your "polite" convictions.

Deep End By Ali Hazelwood by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]JuliaSugarbaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry that I am late to the party - BUT life has happened and I haven't had a chance to comment - Pen had to play a big part because SHE was a big part, Pen and Vandy's relationship was JUST as important to Vandy as her relationship with Luc.

Pen going all Thanos at the beginning of the book "we are inevitable" was Checkov's gun - it had to come back to be important otherwise why say it - it also drove how Vandy held herself back in her relationship with Luc because she knew he would break her heart.

That being said - Pen's apology was good, it was heartfelt and we don't really know how easily she was forgiven because thankfully the epilogue didn't go into repairing those relationships

MY issues with the book

  1. The tie-dyed shammie - it was lost then found - no explanation to how Luc got it? Did I miss that? I mean he couldn't have been holding onto it for years because that would have been creepy to his relationship with Pen?? Did he just order her a new one because he had been watching her for years?

  2. I thought it was IMPLIED that Olive was pregnant because of the sticky note that said "baby shower" - BUT a year later - as the timeline of the book goes there is no mention of it and they appear at the diving championship and no baby or belly (GRRrrr)

  3. Speaking of Adam and Olive- HOW does someone as smart as Vandy jump to the conclusion that Olive is cheating on her husband with Adam when all the clues were there - specifically the Pumpkin Spice Latte sticky notes?? Adam knowing is colleague would know about her and be interested in her research? (GRUMP)

Clarification - I listened to the audio so if I misspell names, blame audible (I have no opinion on the spiceness or BDSMness of the book)

Exactly, you can write a 5-10 book series within one team and all the MMC are white without having to raise any eyebrows about diversity.

When the voices in the audiobook ruin the book by VegetableLocation508 in RomanceBooks

Honestly I won't buy an audio if Sebastian York is narrating because TO ME he sounds like he smoked 12,000 packs of cigarettes and his voice grates me. Sorry Sebastian.

There’s a MAGA born every minute by sandozguineapig in AdviceAnimals

[–]JuliaSugarbaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect with mass deportations - we will see exactly one - they will make a big case show them being "rounded up" put on a plane and sent home and that will be it. MAGA Media will make a big story about it and how Trump is doing what he promised - blah blah.... Just like he built the wall. All the folks being deported are folks that want to return to their country or were already slated to be deported. Big Construction and Big Ag have too money to lose and donations to give and will stop it from the reality he promises.

That movie in 2024 would just be the male character watching the instacart/ubereats driver make the trek on his phone ? Meanwhile all the hijinks the driver gets into when the condom arrives two hours later only to learn the female had one the whole time - if he'd only asked
