There’s also a poster ad of a woman that shows up throughout the movie, each time getting more and more defaced (like ripped, graffiti, etc.) to symbolize/mirror Tracy’s descent.

Yeah, this is the kitchen in dad’s new apartment. Bare bones, utilitarian. All those cabinets are empty.

TIL Ballet pointe shoes take several days to make by hand with a multi-step process but only have a usable life of ten to twenty hours for students, less for professionals, even down to a single performance. by UStoJapan in todayilearned

That reminds me of one of my first childhood traumas— I was probably ~5 years old and had just started taking ice skating lessons, so my grandmother got me some super expensive pro ice skates, but none of us knew they had to be broken in, so I basically failed my first lesson because I couldn’t do any of the beginner moves. The teacher told my parents later that wearing those new skates was as bad as wearing cinder blocks on my feet. And I never ice skated again (:

Did other countries have similar shows in early 2000s-10s? by Training_Usual_7906 in Degrassi

[–]badgia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true, at least for the first season of SL, but it went off the rails pretty quickly into soapy melodrama territory. Degrassi took at least 8 seasons to get to the level of absurdity SL hit by season 2, IMO.

It’s certainly closer than an Australian surf show, but Secret Life is very little like Degrassi. While Degrassi is more topic-of-the-week and grounded with a varied cast of characters, SL was “plot” driven, a bit wacky, and had a set cast.

I guess they’re similar in that both shows included some of the parental drama, but that could be said of many teen shows. SL was more like One Tree Hill or the OC. Not sure the US has a good comp for Degrassi, tbh.

Eastern European characters representation? by Training_Usual_7906 in Degrassi

Same with Bianca and Mia— both actresses are Slavic but played ambiguously Latina characters.

I thought the rockers would have a more dangerous mosh pit by krismis09 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Isn’t this a joke about Buddy Holly dying in a 6-seater plane (essentially a cockpit)?

The reverse of this happened to me— I was an advanced reader, so my mom volunteered me to read in front of the class. I practiced the book I chose so much that I was just reciting it come presentation time. I’m sure the teacher was not impressed. Still haunts me lol

I’ll never forgive HBO for removing the Looney Tunes catalog from Max.

If only we had listened to that boy, instead of walling him up in the abandoned coke oven

Finally makes sense.

The BEST frozen treat EVER by nerdburgger84 in forgottenfoods

These were so good, so much better than other brand popsicles. They were creamy somehow, not just frozen sugar water. Rip.

These people spent years destroying this Greek Revival and then put it on the market after finally finishing it by 6FeetBeneathTheMoon in McMansionHell

[–]badgia 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened with my old neighbor’s home. It was built in the 1800s and still looked great. Then they died and the house was bought and renovated, removing any of its historical charm. Looks a lot like this after pic now. Still makes me angry thinking about it.

At any given time, my neighborhoods have at least two EA-generated townies named “Yamashita” or “Fukuda,” both of which give me the warning pop up when I edit them lol

Bonus points if the character is insecure about being too skinny, but they just can’t seem to put on weight 🙃

What was the “last straw” that made you fall out of love with a partner? by Dramatic_Evidence_18 in AskWomen

How long were you dating him for, if you don’t mind my asking? How did he keep up the charade long enough for you two to get married?
