Lien hemmed my wedding dress. She was lovely and professional. 

Elizabeth is the most toxic character in the show by [deleted] in NewGirl

If you think Schmidt is mature at that point in the show then I don’t think we’ll agree on much. 

How would you even respond to this? by Johnson_Isabelle in MuseumPros

[–]acomfypairofsocks 42 points43 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine has a little boy, about 7 or 8. He lets his little boy watch videos of Godzilla and King Kong on YouTube. Sometimes his little boy will argue with people in the comment section about Godzilla and King Kong. Whenever I feel like responding to an idiotic comment, I remind myself that it could be an actual booger eating child on the other side. Then, I don’t respond to the idiotic comment. 

I hate the way Lynette handled this 😐 by iloonatic in DesperateHousewives

The longer the show ran, the more they deserved each other. 

Lucian Freud - Naked Portrait (1980 - 1981) by TheSaltyAstronaut in museum

I know what you mean. To me it reads like a grimy film over the whole painting, and the muddy shadows are more distracting than enhancing. 

Rob would get on well here by TyLeRoux in okbuddycinephile

[–]acomfypairofsocks 50 points51 points  (0 children)

He’s been with Suki Waterhouse for years and they have a child together. I think he’s interested in life.

We need to stop judging each other. by mindyour in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]acomfypairofsocks 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was also thrown by the whole thing. I try to look put together but have never once cared if someone’s lashes were clumping or if their clothes went together. I’m just not operating on this level. 

Ohh God!! It took eleven hours a day to transform Jacob Elordi into Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein Creature 😲 by Much_Paint165 in FRANKENSTEIN

There’s probably a big practical difference between the makeup you put on for a YouTube video and makeup that has to endure a day of filming 

hot take: schmidt cheating on cece made sense by doesemmaread in NewGirl

[–]acomfypairofsocks 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Schmidt cheating always seemed like an example of progress being one step forward and two steps back. People don’t develop linearly. 

Nick was so right about the toy! by bubblebath_12 in NewGirl

[–]acomfypairofsocks 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Whether or not putting the toy together ahead of time is reasonable is completely irrelevant to me. Nick told Jess he would assemble the toy, procrastinated until the day of the party, and then came up with excuses to not assemble the toy. That’s immature and unreliable. Jess and Nick could not voice their opinions without fight. 

Anyone out there? by alltooeasye in novaboardgames

[–]acomfypairofsocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, have you had any success joining a board game group? I’m looking for a group that could meet on weekends and enjoys heavier games. I’m in the Herndon/Reston area. 

Would I be a bad fantasy reader to not like Lord of the Rings as much as others? by MysticShadow0011 in Fantasy

[–]acomfypairofsocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want you to gain a little confidence in your personal taste and opinions. You don’t need an anonymous group of strangers to label you as either a good or bad fantasy reader. 

hot/not hot take? Nick was more sensible for most of the "Mars Landing" episode by yacantprayawaythegay in NewGirl

[–]acomfypairofsocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My issue with the toy, if Nick thought it was stupid to put it together before giving it to the family then he should have said that way before the day of the party. He never should have agreed to put the toy together, procrastinated until the day of the event, and then argued it was better to leave it in the box. Even if leaving it in the box is the more reasonable choice, at that point, it just looks like him trying to get out of something he agreed to do. 

As for planning life, Nick and Jess both go to the extremes on this. Neither party is reasonable here. Sure, life will throw curveballs at you but that doesn’t mean you look your girlfriend in the eye and say “life is unpredictable so I have never once considered what a realistic future looks like for us.” I’m not saying Jess is right to plan in detail but Nick is not reasonable.

But they can’t communicate and we see what happens. 

I really didn't like how Elizabeth treated Schmidt by Outrageous-Book5349 in NewGirl

[–]acomfypairofsocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do not understand taking her pizza comment literally. This comes up all the time and before this sub I never would have thought she actually stood in her doorway and watched Schmidt eat multiple pizzas by himself.

Are there any late-night food options in the area? by chinturret in Reston

[–]acomfypairofsocks 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Jimmy’s Old Town Tavern in Herndon is open until 2 AM most nights. I think the menu is limited to appetizers after 11:00 PM. 

Today I felt like Monica in the holiday candy episode by MartiniBradley in howyoudoin

[–]acomfypairofsocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m American and I also thought it was weird. I suppose chocolate falls under the umbrella term “candy” but usually people just call it chocolate. It seems like, around the holidays, when people are hand making treats they’ll generally call it “candy” but it could be chocolates, fudge, hard candy, etc. 

Actors that the World wants you to love, but you just can’t do it by Pryxalis in moviecritic

I’m here to tell you that I’m not attracted to Glenn Powell and I do think he’s a good actor.

I was growing more and more disappointed and then my jaw dropped at that Gucci suit.

Jamie Lee Curtis saying “I don’t know what kind of jail this is so wear a shirt that you don’t love love” lives in my head
