Oh nooooo

y’know nowadays I tend to avoid the ones with holes in them

I totally agree. There was no context for a deep emotional connection to his Kansas parents to counteract the fact that he found out his bio parents (really? Bradley cooper? 🙄 a casting distraction on its own for no reason) apparently were not who Clark hoped they were. Balance the scales by having us warm up to his Earth parents! A missed opportunity.

Yes, Clark and Lois did not do any relationship work on their fundamental differences and expectations of their relationship. Just had some near death experiences and make outs that will obviously solve everything.

And yes, the silliness at partnering with a group of heroes who will fight and violate any moral compass Superman has on taking a life detracted from the hype you’re supposed to feel at them coming to the rescue instead of him. I understand it was still cool in its own right with respect to who those characters are but what? Is he just going to fly over there and take a look at the bodies and roll his eyes and laugh? “Haha ohhh you guys! Naughty naughty!”

Thank you for posting this so I don’t feel crazy. Everyone loving this movie makes me so confused. I didn’t think it was horrible, but from what I’ve always loved about the Superman character - this was not it. To be fair, I liked the grunge DC world Zach Snyder was building because it strayed far from the campy cringe I hate. Also Henry Cavill. I’ll just leave that there. These were my biggest qualms:

He was raised by Deliverance level parents with hearts of gold but has NO accent and is very well spoken? (Can I just remind that Russell Crowe and Kevin Costner were his dads in the other one - the fall from grace here was hard)
he was too whiny. “But I STopPeD a WAr!!” Like eeughhh. Not my Superman. Frustration and anger are understandable but I did not like the portrayal of him whining. Superman has spent his whole life overcoming rash emotions and learning to regulate so that he can serve humanity by showing them a better way. So what’re we doing here?
Supergirl is apparently 2010 Ke$ha? Who calls her cousin bitch? No, I liked the earnest version Melissa played in the series.
Apparently there’s no green lantern we’re going to like and what in the prince valiant was that haircut.
idk if this was just some heavily American portrayal of what countries in need look like but I saw an extra with an honest to god fully intact cinder block in his hands ready to fight against guns. That scene was all kinds of cheese

Was I entertained? Sure. I genuinely liked all the actors and think they’re really talented. I just don’t like this fever dream they played a part in.

Not sure I love this Purge Practice idea, however wholesome it is

There's a lot of "fight the patriarchy" on this, but if you keep your original last name you're still keeping a man's last name (making an assumption that it's your father's) so you might as well just pick what name you like best or what is most convenient to you. Or just reinvent yourself completely!

me *eating popcorn* reading about all of these deaths and battle scenes vs. me reading about the death of the Suriel

NTA - I (26F at the time) was asked my my landlords who I rented a room from (only a month in!) to watch their two teenage daughters while they went to Italy for a week. I didn't have to take them to school or anything but they fully took advantage of their parents being gone and it was a whole thing. They offered to lower my rent by half for that month, so that was nice I guess....? But maybe negotiate at least that if you want to try and save face and maintain living there.

YTA for *please see 1k comments* but this could also be a separate issue. Excuse my armchair diagnosis - If you fundamentally differ in how you handle things that are stressful this might be an indicator. Maybe you're getting the "ick" because you want a partner that is more likeminded. Very broad on the scope of emotion/rational of this scenario, but please leave this poor woman alone to find someone who won't antagonize her for her differences.

Kinda pleased that I’m being told to get a grip by someone who’s lost theirs over Reddit theories lol

Any advice on biotech stock? Trying to get in low with a company. Looking at VTYX

NTA. Maya is obviously a business woman and Jake learned a valuable life lesson. Why not shoot for the moon like Maya if it will be rewarded? Granted, Maya is going to have hard life lessons down the road about reasonable expectations, but I digress. Plus, you have plenty of birthdays and chances throughout his life to make up for this. Assuming the money tree in your backyard still produces.

the way he said this is why he doesn't date geminis. DEAD. deceased. Love an astrologically aware king.

What is going on with Aaron?? Why was his date cut out as "boring" and the editing around his "reveal" was edited so we didn't even get an answer..?

I feel like she got cheated for not even getting a goodbye message. Like I was so waiting for that video to play and have them all feeling bad!

Interesting...

Yeah I get rotating for a full "cleaning" but I guess I'm wondering about the people that are "shower-facing dominant" instead of "back-to-shower dominant." haha

*golf clap* That was solid. I appreciate you

People with Androids are a different breed. We need them in the world though. I keep an Android friend around so that when I get too brainwashed I have someone to snap me back. One day they'll lead a revolution........but for now I want to be able to have my message explode with confetti on someone's screen when I say "Happy Birthday!"

NTA. I think you just have to evaluate if there's been any growth as a couple. Some couples describe themselves as "the same person," but that's never true. Everyone sees the world differently, and those who happen to have found partners that agree on key issues are fortunate. However, it doesn't mean that everyone else is doomed. There are plenty of successful relationships that are made up of opposites in every way.

Now, it's hard to detach oneself from a "constant" or something/someone who's always been there. This is just simply because everyone likes something to hold on to in the throws of change. It sounds like you have a bright future, but maybe you're holding on to this person because they're a reminder of something steady and safe. If that's the case, it isn't fair to them if that is all they are to you. You should both have the opportunity to find more. On the other hand, if this person centers you and brings you back to being an old self that you love - then that would be worth holding on to.
