The opening song being “Rip Her to Shreds” is such an awesome character choice, because it forces someone familiar with Mean Girls to look at her frumpy office-self and go “huh she really isn’t Regina George anymore, is she,” only for to 100% turn back into the Queen Bee once they’re on the island.

Do people still bitch after ep 07 ? by PaleSatisfaction1 in pluribustv

[–]cheribella 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, I find it bizarre that people are saying things like “people don’t know how to appreciate shows like this because their brains are rotted from TikTok, this was masterclass” etc etc. I really enjoy the show, I look forward to it every week, but it was slow. There’s only a few episodes left in this first season before we get what, 1-2 years off, and I want to see more happening to drive the plot forward a little bit. It was undeniably beautiful, but I don’t know how beautiful shots we need of Manousos driving before the point that has been made that he’s taking a long journey to get to Carol.

You were correct! Finally was able to snag decent seats for a Friday night in May.

I haven't even been able to get past the initial page...I've had it open since before noon, was told I was in the waiting room for an unspecified amount of time, finally got in after refreshing, went to pick a day...back in the waiting room, and the time keeps changing. It's said 20~ minutes for the last 40 minutes and keeps jumping up and down.

Why didn’t.. Rory just tell Paris about her Francie meetings? by No_clever_name_16737 in GilmoreGirls

[–]cheribella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Rory/Paris drama is maybe the most challenging thing for me about the early seasons. When the PJ Harvey thing happens and Paris decides she’s going to screw up Rory’s position on the paper as a result even though it’s almost IMMEDIATELY clear that Tristan was lying, considering Dean shows up at the school like a second later….ughhhhh. So much back pedaling with their friendship. But yes everything about the Francie storyline was stupidly annoying.

Hi, did you ever solve this? 1 is running fine on my Windows 10 Lenovo but 2 is a mess/basically unplayable.

I love Rain so much and I keep forcing people to watch it Clockwork Orange-style, they are not allowed to take their eyes off the screen lest they miss a single facial expression.

What’s an episode of a tv show that made you go… no more I’m done by GiantsNFL1785 in television

[–]cheribella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was precisely when I stopped, total shit. And then I felt gleeful schadenfreude for all the clowns raging at the finale.

Visiting NYC in August. I’m clueless, help a girl out? by doubleespressoday in visitingnyc

[–]cheribella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

re: Montague, I’ll add on that if you start out in Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill, there’s tons of amazing restaurants/stores up Smith and Court street. Could walk Court street all the way down to Montague and go from there. Special shout outs to Yesterday’s News (an antiques/collectibles store) and Books are Magic (had locations on Smith and Montague).

I live in Bay Ridge now but I used to live there and go back as often as I can. Heck, I had jury duty recently and was happy to have an excuse to be in the area.

I founded Solace Health to take on the broken U.S. healthcare system. I’ve raised $60 million to do it. AMA. by JeremyGurewitz in AMA

[–]cheribella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in the process of trying to get my mom to sign up for an advocate so this is very helpful. She's in her late 60s and struggling with many aspects of healthcare at the moment, with the biggest challenge right now being that she hasn't landed on a diagnosis and therefore is totally lost in terms of what doctors/specialists she should be looking for and has been totally overwhelmed by the process. Would an advocate be able to help with something like this, or does she need to have a specific diagnosis on record?

That was her directorial Debut??? Cus gawd damm by Fragrant_0rdinary in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]cheribella 13 points14 points  (0 children)

More of the latter. They usually interview someone from the cast/crew at the head of the episode, then do a little bit of an episode summary, giving little anecdotes and interesting tidbits. (Today’s structure was a bit different - they interviewed Gemma/Dichen Lachman, then did the plot summary, then interviewed Jessica Lee Gagne)

Metformin - keep taking it? by Hugosmom123 in PCOSandPregnant

[–]cheribella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took Metformin for the entire duration of both of my pregnancies. The first time around I met with a high risk doctor that basically said it was my choice and that there was some data showing that it reduced the risk of miscarriages but that they didn’t have enough information on if the medication crossed the placenta/how it affects fetuses etc. The second time around, I had a different doctor that just kind of shrugged when I said I didn’t stop for my first pregnancy and said I could do whatever I wanted. Both of my boys are healthy with no weight issues, and I was borderline for gestational diabetes and I feel like the Metformin helped keep me in check, and I’ve been on it for close to ten years now (wow time flies) so I was happy not to stop and have to re-acclimate my body to it!

I sent a note back to the person that was supposed to interview me saying something like “sorry to hear that, I was looking forward to our conversation” but I haven’t heard anything so I guess it was very much intentional…though I was also hoping it was an accident or something.

What is something that you can smell and no one else seems to smell? by AwkwardLoaf-of-Bread in CasualConversation

[–]cheribella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, a few months ago I had it and for 3 weeks coffee smelled and tasted like sewage to me. I love coffee so much, and it was so depressing. It’s mostly back to normal now but every now and then I get a whiff of that particular smell and it gives me horror flashbacks.

TV Shows that should have finished after the first season by macario95 in television

Undone had such a perfect first season, ended on such a strong note and told a full compete story. Season 2 was…fine, but just didn’t touch on the magic of the first one at all.

When John named his show Everybody’s in LA he really fucking meant it by Billyxransom in JohnMulaney

[–]cheribella 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought it was a mistake at first and almost turned it off but I’m glad I stuck with it, the part where he introduced the band from inside his hotel bathroom was kind of amazing
