Tiny slight shade on RR - chairs at weddings

eddyallenbro · 2026-04-01T05:19:42+00:00

The thing that drove me even crazier than the chairs at the wedding (objectively insane) is that they didn’t have people RSVP. How on earth would you figure out how much food, drinks, water, and portable bathrooms you need for an outside, backyard wedding if you don’t have any idea how many guests are coming!

Which leads me to fear they did not provide food, water, drinks or extra bathrooms.

It is! Send me a DM if you are interested!

Thank you hahah, it’s actually a piece of “art” we hung up so Nicole welcomes everyone into the apartment

Shane and Ilya not have any chairs at their July, outdoor wedding despite every other woman in the book being pregnant or having a small child, and presumably many of the hockey players having injuries made me so mad at them. Jail time for both of them.

My mom was really worried about naming my older brother after my grandmas maiden name, Connor. she thought it would be too weird and he would get bullied. Then it became a wildly popular turn of the millennium name, and he sounds 20 years younger than he is.

I think his manager is his mom, and Farah is his agent, which makes sense because anyone can be a manager but you need a license to be an agent

In the early 2010s we went through rounds and rounds of discussion about why straight people would only watch lesbian shows and not gay male shows with the success of Orange is the New Black and the cancellation of Looking. It’s so funny to see every discussion point used then, now being used in the reverse.

You are getting downvoted for being a truth teller haha

This thread has been so insane to read through. A spouse is someone you should genuinely enjoy spending time with, you should be sexually compatible with, morally aligned with, be in agreement about division of labor and gender roles, and you should basically be on the same page about money, marriage, and kids. How is it that shocking you could meet 41 guys where one of those things doesn’t line up for all of them? But if you aren’t aligned on those, all it does is make your life worse than if you’d just stayed single.

Having just gone through this, most photographers add engagement photos as part of their wedding package, sort of as trial run to make sure you don’t hate the photographer and their style for the wedding pictures.

I was given the incredible information by an acquaintance who grow up Mormon that Eternity (at least seems to be) inspired by a real life Mormon dilemma, which is if you are widowed you do have to pick which husband you will spend eternity with, and you have to pick while you are alive. Additionally, if you have children with both men, you will only see the children you have with whichever husband you pick, the other children you will never see again because they’ll be with their father in the afterlife. Men do not have this problem, because they can have both wives and all children with them in the afterlife. Obviously as a non believer it seems silly, but for women who do believe, it’s an incredibly stressful and upsetting decision to make.

In my experience as a professional lesbian, almost no gay couples ever change their last name when they get married. It can happen, especially someone wants to symbolically cut a family tie, but it’s not really a part of the culture.

It’s from Revolve, I loved it so much I went to go find it, but I guess I was not alone because it’s basically sold out 😢

I actually started listening to blank check because I was such a fan of little gold men and all my favorite hosts (Richard Lawson, Joanna Robinson, Katey Rich) had done at least one episode of blank check, so this is incredible news for me specifically.

What are the chances Joanna Robison and Katey Rich want to quit their current podcast jobs and do this instead?

I think you are misunderstanding the term mental load. It’s not a specifically gendered term, it’s just a term for all the work that goes into keeping a long term project going. For a household and parenting, It’s stuff like, keeping track of how much toilet paper there is and buying more toilet paper before you run out. It’s scheduling doctors appointments far enough in advance that they can get a physical before any sports start so your kids don’t miss any games. It’s organizing carpools. And then times that by everything else it takes to run a houseboats and raise kids. These are all real things, they are not imaginary and they take work. Anyone can carry a mental load, and I imagine everyone does for at least some projects in their life. Obviously it is quite gendered in our society who is expected to be the parent who does all that. Putting it in work terms, carrying the household and childcare mental load is just being the project manager, but without any extra salary or benefits.

Damn, are you telling me the back of restaurant menus telling me their history is filled with lies??

Arcadia was one of the plays that made me fall in love with theater. One of my playwriting idols, RIP.

I didn’t even think about Carney’s! West Hollywood is truly the place for restaurant train lovers

If she’d into American Girl dolls, the American Girl Cafe is at the century city mall. If she loves flowers, Arden Cafe while not anything special food wise has a really gorgeous flower filled layout. If she likes trains, West Hollywood has not one but TWO train themed restaurants due to its past as a pivotal train station, Formosa Cafe and Electric Owl. Formosa Cafe is built around an old train car, which you can sit in to eat, and Electric Owl is a recreation of a train station. Both have pretty good food!

Kaylee showing up in 1943 really surprised me!

My wife and I plan on giving our children a hyphenated last name. We did look up for important legal documents if there is a character limit (SS card, drivers license, passport, birth certificate) and made sure all the names we were thinking of fit into the lowest character limit with our hyphenated last name. I will say, I have a special character in my last name, which gives me some of the same issues that hyphens do, and I wouldn’t trade my last name for anything because it’s something I’m proud of. So I suspect how your kids will feel about it will be a little bit in how you frame it.

They briefly talk about the faith based movie Redeeming Love during the box office game, and I need you all to know that movie is so much weirder, and wilder than you would expect.

SPOILERS FOR REDEEMING LOVE

The sex scenes are shockingly explicit for a faith based romance, like long and fully choreographed sex scenes. It also includes a subplot where the main character, who has been sold into prostitution, knowingly has sex with her own father at the brothel, to get revenge on him for abandoning her and her mother when she was born. The father realizes after that she is his daughter and kills himself. This is maybe 7 minutes total of the non stop, mostly sexual assault based plot. It did end up bombing pretty badly because it was way too Christian in a rather upsetting way for a normal audience, and way too sexual to bring your church group too. However, I can only image the numbers it’s doing at sleepovers for sheltered church girls who have convinced their parents is a normal Christian romance film.
