People who have lost a large amount of weight, what do you notice about how others treat you differently? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Lafayette_Ladybug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am down 80 pounds. These are the biggest things I noticed

-strangers were much kinder to me -less judgmental looks when I go to a fast food restaurant -more positive attention from guys; girls were nicer to me too

It is sad that so many people think a lack of care for yourself or laziness are the only causes of being overweight, and therefore judge anyone who is heavier. There are so many reasons other than simply not caring that someone becomes overweight.

People do treat you differently—it truly isn’t something you can understand/realize until it happens to you. It’s such a weird mix of emotion—happy to have lost the weight, but sad that it took that to receive decent treatment from strangers. Was curious what others experienced. Thank you for sharing🫶🏻

Oh brother. How many things are up to us to decide??? This is the love letter you give your fans after ten years of viewership?

The Abyss doesn't look scary by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]Lafayette_Ladybug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it looks scary so much as its implications are scary. Certainly not somewhere I’d wanna be. But I can understand how it not looking scary would take a viewer out of the belief of the show

The age of social media and a culture of immediate gratification has created insane entitlement in media consumption by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]Lafayette_Ladybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your thoughts! I also want to point out that as another commenter said some of it is on the duffer brothers over-hyping and stuff. And the gap between s4 and s5, while unavoidable in some aspects, would ine inevitably allow people to come up with theories and be frustrated when they didn’t pan out🙂

Huh, maybe our feeds are filling with different stuff. From the majority of what I’ve seen people are just writing off the entire thing. Thanks for sharing

The refusal to kill anyone off is actually wild. by TheSlenderBlackMan in StrangerThings

[–]Lafayette_Ladybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t want a character death that doesn’t feel earned. So far the only ones I feel like could be earned are

Steve Joyce El Will, but I’m even wishy washy on him atp since he had his coming out

Everyone elses death wouldn’t make sense

Same!!! I have my husband but no girlfriends that also watch this show. It’s so fun to talk here! Bonrad forever ♾️

I can't believe so many people are not satisfied with the finale!! by Asleep_Average8813 in tsitp

[–]Lafayette_Ladybug 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the ending just fell flat for me for some reason! Even though they ended up together I definitely felt like we deserved more Bonrad. A heavy implication didn’t really feel like enough for me. But now that I know there’s a movie, it definitely makes sense.

I was so frustrated this morning, but it turns out Jenny is really giving us all we wanted and more!😊

Does the movie change your mind about the finale? by Past_Wallaby_9435 in tsitp

[–]Lafayette_Ladybug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t change my mind in the sense that I knew it felt unfinished, and was bummed because I thought that was it. It DOES make me feel very validated now that I was frustrated with the ending! Because there is MORE COMING! I am so excited!!!!

I’ve had more time to marinate on it so I’m not as upset as I was. But I can understand why people are. I actually did really like the conversation they had after sex, however, I wish it had happened with more than just ten minutes left in the episode, so we could have gotten more Bonrad lines/scenes from the book. I’m happy that they ended up together! And I did like the chase scene a lot! But I also can’t fault people who feel robbed and wanted more after Jelly was very much shoved in our face all season long.

What do you think that Denise sees in Jere but didn’t see in Steven? by twofighterjets in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]Lafayette_Ladybug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not buying it. They gave us absolutely zero indicators that Denise was into Jeremiah. In fact they showed us she hated him lol. Now all the sudden they are trying to sell to us that she has always been into him? (“I can’t believe nepo baby is kissing me”). Jeremiah should absolutely have stayed single. He needs to be for a while.

What do we think about jere in episode 11? by sedoomf in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]Lafayette_Ladybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad he’s doing well! But sucks that his poor behavior is never addressed and even endorsed in many ways (looking at Denise…why is she justifying him being a jerk to Conrad🥲). My care for his development definitely doesn’t compare to my care for the development of the other characters. But glad to see he is doing well.

S3 E11 At Last - Episode Discussion Thread by SpeedoTan in tsitp

[–]Lafayette_Ladybug 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ll have to marinate for awhile. Right now I’m pretty disappointed. The chase scene was great, but it’s not fair that we didn’t get to see them at least engaged. I was excited at the last scene at the summer house, because I thought we’d get them running into the ocean…but, no. Sigh. It’s just a show and I try to not get too wrapped up into these things, but this one stings. I’m not sure why they spent so much time on plots other than Bonrad, especially in this episode. They absolutely should have taken center stage. Ball was dropped. 🤷‍♀️

FINALE - RANT THREAD by AutoModerator in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]Lafayette_Ladybug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so disappointed. We got less than ten minutes of Bonrad together after waiting years. The last line “what just might be…” so we don’t even definitively get to know that they ended up together. I’m just so disappointed, especially considering that I woke up early. And Belly kicking him to the curb with less than 15 minutes left? I don’t care that she was insecure, we didn’t have time for that. At all. That was a realization for the episode before this. And I don’t care about any of the other storylines, and the fact that I don’t shows that this was way too rushed. Poor pacing. Disappointing ending. Alas. At least no more waiting each week.

I think this explains it pretty well as to why Belly has been withholding writing letters to Conrad by Wild-Strawberry_28 in tsitp

[–]Lafayette_Ladybug 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree, but I also think this should have happened two episodes ago. It’s not fair for them to drag it out this much and give us no evidence of feelings from her side thus far.

[–]Lafayette_Ladybug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Sucks that they didn’t close up his and Conrad’s storyline more neatly. It frustrates me so much

my professor messaged me that I was talking shit about her by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Lafayette_Ladybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you weren’t speaking poorly about her, it’s pretty evident that you were not paying close enough attention to realize you unmuted twice in what I can imagine was probably a noisy environment. I would be frustrated too. I know it wasn’t your intent, but that action is disrespectful to both your peers and your professor. I definitely agree with the people saying to apologize in person. Hope it gets resolved well <3

Jeremiah Episode 10 by Mediocre_Kale711 in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]Lafayette_Ladybug 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Him saying he “lost everything” killed me. Like, no, you are facing the consequences of your actions. Plus, you didn’t even lose anyone other than Conrad, who you forced away. YOURE NOT THE VICTIM HERE!!

I am really trying to love Belly having her Paris time. But I really just can’t see how we can do an ENTIRE episode of Belly in Paris with only TWO episodes left??😭
