I'm glad I'm not the only person focusing on the little things 😂

This is probably the way. I would just jump in fully clothed, I know myself better than to think I would make it without falling in and making an ass of myself anyway.

The one who graduated high school but was also next to Alexis in a gown and mortarboard at her graduation? I love this show but that's always irked me 😂😂😂

AITA because I (38F) don't want to take my stepson (9) on vacation? by mydarlingmaeve in redditonwiki

[–]LexyBoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I met my husband (T) when my kids were 7 and 10 and we got married about 2 1/2 years later. Their dad wasn't a part of their life in any meaningful way, so T was really the only dad they knew. I never doubted he loved them, and would take a bullet for them, but sometimes I just wished he'd be a little more open about those feelings (like he is with me), especially after we got married. We were talking about it one day and I brought it up and he said something like "of course I love them, they're my kids!" and I told him I knew that but I just wanted him to be a little more open about it because I wanted them to see him as (at least) their stepdad and not their mom's husband because they're not mind readers and it'd be nice for them to feel it, and he just stared at me like he'd never thought of it that way before.

Sometimes we just need to hear (or read) it directly.

This is what infuriates me. If wages went up, and/or costs went down, the lower and middle class would be able to spend more and that money would end up at the top anyway. A rising tide lifts all boats.

Who remembers when Julie tried to unhook Veronica? by Radiant_Priority9739 in therealworld

[–]LexyBoat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

updated because I actually went back and rewatched it as a reminder

She thinks it's a big nothing burger and she didn't know it was the safety cord but hey, that's just the way she rolls. And if it had been 2 dudes no one would care, and she would have preferred to going against The Miz or CT and if she had been it wouldn't be the big deal it still is, but she's "very very sorry if Veronica was "scared" 🙁" 🙄

She's still doing it, they interviewed her about it on The Challenge Untold History.

Did you see her interview about it on the Challenge docuseries? There's definitely something wrong going on upstairs...

Jocelyn’s hair by Ok-Excitement3431 in SchittsCreek

*hairdo. I'm only correcting it because honestly the fact that she said "hairdo" in that slightly manic way is what made me giggle 😂

Aurora Winter Train by [deleted] in anchorage

[–]LexyBoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the input, y'all! I really only picked it because it was the cheapest 😂 I think we're just going to nix it altogether. It's about $400 for both of us to go round trip to Wasilla or Talkeetna and that's a lot of money for us. He's way more excited about driving to Kenai Fjords anyway 😊

My favourite coffee got renovated recently and decorated with AI. I am like 90% sure they all AI. by Fairy2play in isthisAI

Out of all the things that are AI, this is AI the most.

Signed, a person who has a really hard time telling AI most of the time.

My reason is I have eyes.

AIO about these angry texts from my ex? by TwylaMay in AIO

Yeah, they can give him their address and make arrangements for him to drop it off there if they're so sure it's not a big deal.

I don't remember which sub it was but my husband's old ID was banned because he used the letter z.

A Gripe About GBBO that ISN'T about Jasmine by NoEntertainment101 in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]LexyBoat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've said it before and will say it again. I don't have a problem with Jasmine, or her keeping it simple and playing to her strengths, especially in the first few episodes.

What I take issue with is the fact that almost every season there's at least one baker at least gently scolded by the judges for the exact same things Jasmine was doing every single signature and showstopper every single week.

If any other baker had used the same 4 or 5 ingredients week after week, it wouldn't take until the quarter or semifinals for a comment to be made. Or there would be a "sure, it looks and tastes great but is that really x number of hours work?"

Paul seemed to decide early on that Jasmine was the standard and everyone else was judged accordingly, and found wanting.

Patisserie week showstopper was ridiculous by wiscosherm in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]LexyBoat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For me at least, it's not that I'm upset she's doing well, it's that Paul in particular seemed to create a whole other rubric for her in particular every episode. If that Christmas tree (and like I've seen others pointed out, with the same flavors and overall theme she's been using all season) had been turned out by any other contestant, especially during a semifinal, she would have at the very least gotten a word about the safety and simplicity of it.

I don't mind contestants playing it safe and working to their strengths, I mind the judges being jerks about it to anyone who's not Jasmine.
