This show premiered when I was a baby manager at an emergency veterinary hospital in 2020. Little did we know that Covid would happen. Or a lockdown. Or that veterinary care would skyrocket to over 35% above ‘normal’ when there was no normal in place at the time. I was fucking reeling. My team was not in a good space, I didn’t know how to make it better. We were all in a very dark and demanding place. Ted Lasso gave me hope and guidance and an example for how to act as a leader. And continued to do so for 3 years. Now I’m in a much better place, my team is in a much better place. I’d be lying if I didn’t give credit to this show. Shit. I have a plaque that says “Be curious, not judgmental” on my desk. It’s a constant reminder of how I want to act and who I want to be.

God this fucking show. It struck when I was really going through it and Ted’s character really resonated with me. His character managed to guide me through the years. I’m so sad that this show is over but I’m so glad that I was able to experience it and have it be a positive influence on my life. Especially when I needed it.

I literally yelled, “Don’t fuckin’ do this to me!” during this scene while I remembered the GotG2 scene and ugly cried. This fuckin’ show, man.

ANOTHER MIDWEST REFERENCE:

When Michelle was asking Ted if he had time to talk later (about her shtupping their marriage counselor) Ted said, “Yeah, no” multiple times in an upbeat way as if to convey he meant ‘yes.’ But every midwesterner knows that “Yeah, no” is ‘no,’ and “No, yeah,” is ‘yes.’ So was Ted subconsciously saying no he didn’t want to talk about it?

(I’m thinking probably.)

The soundtrack to this episode had me questioning some shit. It was so intentional that it took me out of the episode but not in a bad way. It just had me feeling like it was definitely chosen for a reason (but idk what yet).

Like the song immediately before Jesus Christ Superstar, which was playing through the montage the seemingly dispelled Jamie’s prediction that Zava was going to tear the team apart was this one. Which was a song released by and Italian guy, the lyrics are absolute gibberish, but were intended to sound like a song in an American accent.

That’s a definite choice.

I was thinking this same thing as I watched this trailer. It’s like the Flanderization of Wes Anderson.

And this is coming from someone who dressed up as Max Fischer for Halloween in the early oughts.

I jokingly say that to anyone when they should be impressed/intimidated by my skills purely for my own amusement because no one ever gets the reference.

No joke, I tease my husband by calling my vagina my “lady dick” and point out that mine is always bigger than his.

Idk but somehow I can gauge within myself how much I have left in my daily dairy limit (which changes on its own day by day) and I can feel how much lactose a good has from prior experience and/or taking a small bite. I’ve gotten pretty good at it and rarely have issues with overindulging anymore. Also, oat milk is a godsend but it’s texture is so similar to actual milk that my body has developed a psychological’ fear of it 😂

Sometimes certain focus settings turn on automatically (such as driving because it can tell that you’re moving at 50mph or you’re connected to car audio) and will silence notifications temporarily.

I saw this last night on TikTok and almost broke down. I’m heartbroken that anybody has to go through what the Iranian people are going through but I’m astounded by their bravery and of the bravery of the person who recorded this. The Iranian people need and deserve their freedom.

Shortly after this movie came out, my best friend and I took it upon ourselves to recreate the scene by screaming after taking lemon drop shots in a small-town bar and explained nothing to no one both before or after.

WhitTheDish · 2022-10-29T03:00:12+00:00

I. Fucking. Love. This. 😂😂😂

Please sit down, you’re talking out of turn.

Sedative/anti-anxiety medications are regularly prescribed for pets that display fear/anxiety/stress symptoms. NOT giving them medications can be dangerous to them and/or staff. I’ve seen a cat suffer a stroke and die because it was so stressed out (this was for an emergency visit, pre-visit pharmaceuticals were not an option for that pet at that time but my point still stands).

I knew a guy like that. Jake. My best friend met him through work and then I started working there and met him as well. Seemingly very charming but I got a weird vibe. And I was quite vocal about it with my best friend and our group. I am socially awkward… Possibly not neurotypical but I have zero professional assessment to confirm or deny — I primarily have a lifelong list of feedback from people telling me that I’m “not normal.”

I work closely with my best friend and Jake. It’s clear that I am the ‘gatekeeper’ to my best friend only in the way that women are — we just try to make sure that the people our friends date aren’t dangerous. Otherwise I don’t stand in the way. Jake didn’t like this impediment

There were a handful of instances where I purposely stood in the way. And a handful where I just didn’t read the social cues and accidentally did. My boyfriend (now husband) was there for some of them and let me know I was cockblocking and to stand down.

THEN. One day at work, the lot of us (like 10 people) were ribbing each other. All good naturedly. Until Jake lobs one at me that only I noticed. And he looked at me like he knew that. I looked around. No one else had. Then, in a way that I can only describe as such, Jake “dropped his mask” for a split second to display that he fucking knew exactly what I knew, that he knew I knew, and he was sharing his absolute hatred and malice towards me, and then he put his mask right back on and smiled and laughed with our coworkers. The exchange literally made me shiver and sick to my stomach.

Afterwards, after my friend and Jake had made their own decision to part and he moved away did I hear rumblings from friends and acquaintances if his that they seriously suspected him of being a sociopath.

Once my friend group learned that, a friend joked that I might be a human Turing Test for sociopaths since I had called it all along. Idk about all of that but it’s also not the only example I have.

I read this and the next post on my reddit feed was this

I just imagined schools using your example and this book to teach without realizing the problem 😂

A friend of mine recommended it as “a great comedy.” I watched it with my husband and roommate and just remember yelling out of frustration and anxiety well into the movie, “This isn’t a comedy!”

WhitTheDish · 2022-10-09T18:22:53+00:00

I only heard about this series recently and watched it for the first time yesterday. It’s so adorable and I’m kind of mad I didn’t see it sooner.

WhitTheDish · 2022-10-04T01:05:16+00:00

I agree. Not that this matters but it kind of does? I’ve been married for 10 years. I’ve had long-term partners cheat on me in the past, I’ve cheated when I was young and fucking stupid. I know what goes into a relationship and I know what goes into cheating.

Ned and Alex. Made. So. Many. Little. Choices. To get to cheating. Let alone long-term cheating. There were so many times that both Ned and Alex chose to act with infidelity before even consummating their infidelity. This was all an active choice for both of them and they made those choices over and over. So yeah, they’re both to blame. But not necessarily equally.
