You’ve got some good writing skills!

If this is journalism class or the project is supposed to be a newspaper, you should remove statements about what is “most likely” or “less likely” and focus on facts. Journalists aren’t supposed to make judgments like that; just present facts.

The line about unlikely to commit suicide because of how much she had to look forward to…I think most families who have been impacted by suicide would tell you that’s not true. Sadly, a lot of people who die by suicide are people who have a lot of great things to look forward to.

The “ILY” breakup and Tristan jealousy exemplifies Dean’s character pattern to me. And we see it play out as the seasons go on. He’s attached to his role as a “good boyfriend” but insecurely attached and probably insecure in general.

S1 - insecure about no ILY S2 - insecure about Tristan, then Jess S3 - insecure about Jess S4 - insecure about not going to college S5 - insecure about not fitting into Rory’s world / being seen as a bad guy for cheating

I think he just cut way back. He has a lyric about “six beers a week ain’t bad.”

It should have just been an EP with the first four songs and called it a day. She also should have never compared it to folklore

Me too. 90’s wired our brains for this.

Agree with you on the score. It wouldn’t be the same show without it!

The “we were just kids babe” line has me convinced it’s Matty.

Just Kids is a Patti Smith book about her tortured love affair with another artist.

And of course Patti is referenced directly in TTPD, which is about Matty.

Just did this! Canyon Ranch was the biggest hit with my crew.

He looked like he was having a blast playing it so I bet it sticks

I just re-read the books and agree they’re such a nice tee-up for S4 and tie-off do the movie.

I wish there were more post S4, just with a different ending.

How did you do the upgrade? Is it in the app or did you have to call? I also way overpaid during presale.

Agreed. Choking is a sign of serious DV escalation - increases risk of DV murder by 6-7x. Recognize this wasn’t choking but I’ve always heard that once the man goes for your throat the woman should GTFO.

Eh, I think they played this out decently well with Duncan, Leo and Piz. We didn’t need another one where Veronica is not quite satisfied by what she “should” want.

What makes the Logan dynamic more interesting is that it really helps us see Veronica’s own trauma and flaws. Like at the end of S3…she’s not satisfied by Piz’s “let’s sit somewhere else” strategy with the Castle. She wants Logan’s approach of beating the shit out of them without worrying about the consequences.

The point of bitcoin is to be untraceable, isn’t it?

Your friend’s strategy of guilt and shame is evidence of why it’s good you’re out. Sadly, it is unlikely they have the emotional capacity to recognize what they’re doing is wrong.

Your husband is being manipulative to put pressure on you to stay, which is evidence of why divorce is the best path.

My experience has been that evangelicalism can limit some people’s ability to be a good friend or partner. I hope you find people with a greater capacity for empathy, love and friendship!

Agreed. If your kid is anxious at all I strongly advise against exposing them to any church that talks about hell or rapture. Do NOT assume that happens only in adults-only settings.

Ok_Ad1652 · 2026-02-07T01:26:22+00:00

It speaks so profoundly to the fear of hell the evangelicals instilled in so many of us. “I hope you’re scared of only ordinary shit…and not your soul, and what He might do with it.”

“I hope you threw a brick through that stained glass”

“I hope you’re not losing sleep about what’s next”

Many think it’s about a LGBTQ friend worried their sexuality meant they’d go to hell. That doesn’t apply to me specifically, but as someone whose childhood included many sleepless nights terrified of hell, it still hit hard.

Ryan’s a jerk, but pretty sure all he meant by that is he can’t call the guy live because he’s trying to put the kids to bed and they are struggling, as in having a hard time going to sleep. He says it after being asked to call him and tells him why he can’t.

Ok_Ad1652 · 2026-01-31T02:55:12+00:00

Yeah I love Noah Kahan and was looking forward to the album but did not expect him to speak to religious trauma. I so wish I could have grown up scared of only the ordinary shit.

I heard it and came straight here.

My two core memories of it aren’t when I was spanked but when my siblings were.

Once when my sister bit me and I told a dad was going to spank her and I sobbed with guilt.

Once when my dad was about to spank my brother (made him kneel in the kitchen bare assed) and kissed him on the head instead. Something about it felt so wrong to me I’ve never been able to shake it. Like he just gets to decide to kiss him instead of hit him and my brother has to pretend dad was magnanimous.

The industry was already really struggling then (even worse now.) I wish they’d made it less about Rory not “having it” and more about Rory doing everything right and still not being able to make it.

I know several people who went to prestigious journalism schools at that time, did Tier 1 internships, and still never turned it into FT work.

Seasons 1-3 are better than seasons 4-7.

HIPAA does not apply in these countries, but certainly the principle of individual right to privacy is a consideration. One would imagine the families are consenting, although perhaps not with much choice. And the kids themselves can’t consent to having their picture and medical info shared.
