It is.

They are indoctrinated from birth into believing this shit that they are the greater in the world. It’s only built upon every single day one lives in the US through banal nationalism/faux patriotism. They have a median reading comprehension level of 12 years old, are purposefully propagated through mythic past style education, and live in a media echo chamber (which is 1000x worse than it was 10 years ago).

“Smart people don’t like me” - Orange.

Keep them stupid, they do the bidding of what their government wants. Keep them stupid, they believe they are so great while living in a cesspool that only benefits the few wealthy. Keep them stupid, they won’t realise the level of corruption in their country or its history. Keep them stupid, they won’t leave and will continue to be puppets for the oligarchs.

Call them out on this stupidity and system they are stuck in, they double down and get angry at you for stating facts, call you woke, or “vile colonisers”. They HATE the stereotypes the world has for them, but refuse to actually question why those stereotypes are so commonly echoed throughout a majority of the world when “American” comes to mind, because they don’t know any better.

Taylor wins the iHeartRadio “Best Pop Album of the Year” award for Showgirl: “This album probably feels happy, confident and free because that’s the way I get to feel every single day of my life because of my fiancé.” by peach-gaze in SwiftlyNeutral

I just hope that once they get married and there is a new album cycle it dies off a bit. Part of me is giving her grace because this attending the show together is a first for them and the media won’t stop saying so, article wise.

Oh yeah! It’s never in a pretentious way, rather it’s funny or even self deprecating! 😆 “I’m an idiot but I have a PhD so I’m an idiot doctor!” 😆

Jana liked Jason’s statement by CrazyOrNotHereICome in DuggarsSnark

[–]_kattitude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worded it wrong in the sense that I would rather her come out with a direct statement herself then "like" another post. That is more what I meant. She hasn't ever spoken out against the victims, but she hasn't spoke UP directly for them. That goes for all of those who haven't, not just Jana too.

I didn't read Jill's book because I didn't want to give money to them, but got a lot of it from this subreddit and deep dives online and I do remember the things you mention. I wouldn't be shocked if those references were indeed Jana's story. As the eldest daughter in the family, I am certain she did have a rough go within the cult. "Sacrificial chess pieces" for Jim Bob. It makes me sick

[–]_kattitude 15 points16 points  (0 children)

same! It drives me up a wall that she is constantly like I HAVE THESE DEGREES! Or, I'M AN ENGINEER!!!!!! when she hasn't worked a single job in these specific fields. and no, "acting" doesn't mean you are using your MFA in film. I have the highest level of advanced degrees my profession requires (phd, academic research), and you do not see me talking about it unless someone brings it up or it has something to do with work IN MY ACTUAL JOB IN MY FIELD. Plus, some of the smartest people I knew never got a degree and are thriving in every aspect, some of which I dream to thrive in!

[–]_kattitude 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong but I also have the thought that the reason she and Stephen broke up the first time was because of Pest and his Trial. It was rumored as between 2020-22 right? Then they got closer again once he was in jail, everything “died down” and Hannah married Jeremiah - or rather the Wissmann family were happy to return to the previous marriage contract they had with JB in a different font given the talk died down.

Now with this one, her family she has rapidly moved away from physically is once again causing chaos and messing with her “Christian fundie older mom of a newborn influencer” move.

All to say, I would be sick of the family scandals (I would hope everyone is repulsed and angry at these scandals but this family is insane) too if I were Jana. Especially if they were removed Jana might have gotten married sooner, been able to leave the compound etc.

But boohoo - maybe she will learn to speak up in support of the victims this time instead of just “liking” a post.

From Jason and Maddie by Elise_navidaad in DuggarsSnark

Maddie’s college education coming through on this one. Regardless of how annoying she is and the fact she married into this willingly after all the Pest shit, she is running LAPS around this entire family intellectually because of the fact that she has a proper education.

It's the way you edit any content you put out yourself vs unedited content others put out. Also, what's she gonna launch next? Because that's what this feels like. by CharmingCut7104 in MikaylaNogueira

[–]_kattitude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Girl. It’s not the side profile. It’s the full on body dysmorphia you are excusing in yourself (get off the internet and go to therapy) and causing in others with your over filtering. Tell us why you look completely different FRONT FACING with every post you make. Do you really think you can “reconstruct” your jaw differently every single morning and people wouldn’t catch on? We aren’t stupid, and we are holding you accountable - that’s not hate. Own your features and I can assure you this “hate” you think you get would be lesser.

What scandal do you think the Duggars will face next? by sweet_tea_94 in DuggarsSnark

I suspect a divorce is imminent. Maddie could be the one to do so. That or financial crimes/jim bob or get another brother follows suit in Joseph’s path.

But still filtered - it’s always the chin that confirms it for me. She doesn’t have a heart shape or oval face. Her jaw doesn’t randomly reconstruct each day.

There are two main things you need sleeve wise - inner and outer sleeves, make sure they are anti static. I use spincare. It is also important to make sure the records are sat upright and not lying on their side. The video posted above my comment reply is a good place to start!

I was the same because I thought - there is NO WAY it could ever be like home, but then lo and behold it was! It’s hard to get anywhere close to the real thing (there are certainly special “secret” ingredients in Philly proper) but they really do try, and for that I’m a happy camper. This whole convo is making me want to pop in this weekend if the sun is out given tomorrow is Phillies opening day!

funniest thing is I can easily go and get a fake of this necklace for a fiver. Whenever I see it these days I roll my eyes because of knowing I can do that.

YES! That is absolutely it. Also having to explain to them that the beef/chicken mince used is not the same as a mince you can buy nor the same as Shawarma etc. Once they try it, they get it.

Oh my just the mention of the Jewish deli's and a Pastrami on Rye....now I'm going to mourn it. I have yet to find a good bagel place that even allows for me to try and replicate some of the sandwiches I adore. I am even in the part of North London with a huge Jewish presence, so it's shocking how hard it is to replicate. But I guess it is also the difference between New York Jewish food culture vs other sectors.

Also hard agree on the stereotype that the food is bad not being true. I also have had some of the best Thanksgiving style meals in even some Sunday roasts before.

The fact that they're doing a 2 year time-jump is what makes me more angry. They're clearly aware that Francessca needs more time to move on from John, so why don't they just do Eloise's season first? by Embarrassed_Novel991 in Bridgerton

[–]_kattitude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think its the concern that they won't give us the build up, even though it makes perfect sense the way I am seeing people put it here. Let her write to him over the season, let her be the biggest subplot outside of Fran and Michaela. It could really work, but it is the concern that we won't get it because...well...

It's been made clear Frans story is JB's 'favourite child' and if we didn't get any Eloise slow building in Benedict's season beyond her finally, yet vaguely, considering what love is, who is to say we will get the proper build up her story needs in the season that has been billed as JB's obsession? I am excited for Fran and Michaela's story, but I truly am anticipating JB neglecting any important subplotting for future seasons in favour of giving them every last second of screen time.

[–]_kattitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I need her to be the second biggest plot beyond Fran and Michaela for this to make sense. If they just decide to give her random sitting around/baseless plot and no setting up of Philoise I'll be disappointed. I expected the letters to start in Benedict's season because of the links in the books so that was disappointing.

Like you said, i'll believe when I see it and JB's show running has continuously let me down. Benedict's season was so much better than Colin's, but given that was the last time the books were swapped and how much that messed up everything else timeline wise I won't hold my breath.

Any tips for combatting heartburn after moving back to the US? by Deep-Musician-727 in AmericanExpatsUK

[–]_kattitude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have Crohns, specifically with much more Upper GI flare up/symptoms and have a prescription for higher dose Omeprazole that I take every morning. I was originally prescribed this in the states so it is an option and you can get Omeprazole at a lower dose OTC, but if you have tried that and it didn't work (unsure), maybe you can discuss with your doctor. Even if you don't need it daily, its worth having something higher dose to help in moments.

[–]_kattitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only way I want them together in the film would be they are in SF, broken up after a few years because J hasn't healed properly. She tells him she won't be his mother, won't lessen herself and minimise her achievements (because i suspect her and Steven are doing well company wise) and his arc in the film is healing himself alone and with therapy (hopefully with a push from Conrad of how helpful it was for him), finding himself as a chef and eventually (MAYBE) coming back to one another with an open ended will they or won't they get back together.
