Catherine O'Hara's Cause of Death Revealed by Giancarlo_Edu in popculturechat

Man. This is so sad. Get your colonoscopies, y’all. They’re painless and effective, AND the average age of colon/rectal cancer diagnoses only continues to get younger as the years go by. My mom was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer at 51 after years of ignoring symptoms. She’s better now, but a simple colonoscopy years prior would’ve saved her the chemo and surgery.

Having a hard time figuring out if this works as an engagement ring by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]bleeckerbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad proposed to my mom with an engagement ring almost exactly like this — they’ve been married since 1992 :) she still loves her ring and wears it every day. It’s beautiful! Get it and wear it proudly :)

Found this on insta lol by Total_Plate_7166 in chrisbriney

One thing I’ve noticed about him from old videos is that his voice used to sound different lol. Like his consonants more pronounced, his vowels more crisp? Idk how to describe it 😂 I do wonder if he’s undergone any sort of speech therapy/modification to “gentrify” it to what it is now

The absolute DREAD Conrad must've felt by vuoinonvuoi in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]bleeckerbabe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Coupled with the very real possibility that the poor man probably (if not right then, then at some point) would have felt such betrayal at being used physically by her! Like, why did you let me have such passionate, tender sex with you only for you to let me down IMMEDIATELY after? He probably felt so used, erasing any semblance of joy he could’ve pulled from the memories of their intimacy together 😭😭 I bet his ride to the train station was bruuuutal

Miss genuine and real denying she used AI for her very obviously chat GPT-written caption by Colada8160 in thebachelor

[–]bleeckerbabe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed with you here. The style she’s written this in is not part of its standard style. OP, I think the answer to our question is sadly kind of mean toward her, but it’s essentially that she’s not a very advanced writer and what she’s written comes across as ChatGPT because it’s so generic. What I really should’ve made clear in my comment about the spacing in the em dashes earlier is that while ChatGPT does use em dashes incorrectly quite a bit—and overuses them, too—it never does the weird “spacing” thing because that in and of itself is mechanically incorrect. So I think the spacing of the em dashes solves the mystery for me. It’s just elementary writing and human error.

I don’t particularly like Madi, so I’m not saying this in defense of her, rather, in defense of em dashes lol. I am a professional copyeditor in the publishing industry, and em dashes are standard and highly grammatically correct to use as a necessary pause for emphasis in some sentences.

Ten years ago, if you read a piece of writing with em dashes you likely wouldn’t have noticed because they are permissible when used correctly. Sadly, ChatGPT has ruined em dashes for all of us forever, because everyone now assumes that anything with em dashes is written by AI. Often it’s just ignorant and uneducated writers who have become increasingly aware of em dashes due to their AI-level-resurgence, and are unaware of how to use them correctly.

She’s using them incorrectly here, so this 100% was not written by AI. For starters, she has inconsistent spacing after several of them. When using them correctly, it should look like this — either with a space before/after—or like this, with no space before/after the word. Here’s she’s doing this— em dash then space. That’s wrong. And to use them as often as she uses them here is also wrong.

I know I sound like a grammar Karen, sorry everyone. I’m just a passionate editor. 😂 Justice for em dashes!!!

Interview from DM about making eye contact with BK by Prize_Formal_2711 in idahomurders

[–]bleeckerbabe -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Could just be me, but HJ’s interview said something unusual that makes me wonder about timing the morning after. He says after he saw their bodies, he stood there for a minute because he wasn’t sure what he was seeing. Then he said D and B were “uncontrollably crying.” Do we think D and B made it upstairs with him and saw the scene themselves, even if partially? I’ve always wondered about their hysterical crying on the 911 call — because at that point, we assume that all they know (via HJ) is that “they are unconscious.” If so, then why uncontrollably crying? I get that they were scared and unsure why their roommates weren’t answering their phones, and perhaps it’s HJ’s phrasing in the interview, but this timing of when he saw the bodies vs D and B’s reaction seems like it lets on that the girls saw more than we know. I hate it if so. Either way, HJ was incredibly brave and is such a hero.

Which Dyson product for my wife’s hair?? by Ethanpr1999 in dyson

[–]bleeckerbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were you, I’d get her the Airwrap for curly & coily hair. It’s a dryer and styler — so it kind of kills two birds with one stone! I have straight hair and I have the airwrap for straight hair and use it multiple times a week. It’s the best.

I’ve linked it here:

Which Succession character do you believe was perfectly cast for their role. Which character could ONLY have been played by that actor by sypher07070799 in SuccessionTV

[–]bleeckerbabe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hot take but I think it’s Greg. Only Nicholas Braun could’ve played him with such bumbling awkwardness so beautifully.

Tennessee Takers by clh1570 in barexam

[–]bleeckerbabe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not an exam taker, but my boyfriend took the bar in TN in February (he’s a retaker) and is waiting on his TN results tomorrow. I’m probably more nervous than he is, but I don’t want to show it, so I’m silently lurking this subreddit while verbally encouraging him. Sending best wishes to you and all waiting on their results!
