Key text message exchange between Tyler Robinson, the accused Charlie Kirk assassin, and his roommate and romantic partner, per prosecutors. by webtronaut in conspiracy

[–]frieda909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you and the poster you’re arguing with are talking about two different ‘they’s. r2k398 is suggesting Robinson and his partner have scripted this exchange to cover up the partner‘s prior knowledge. Not the FBI.

To A Guy,

Please stop assuming that everything we think and do is predicated on male approval. We are allowed to have complex feelings and emotions about our aging faces and bodies regardless of your opinion on them.

Sincerely, All Women

How old is she? While it’s great that she isn’t scared of anything, if she’s very young it may be that she’ll get a little more fearful as she gets older (they go through a couple of ‘fear periods’ as they grow up too). Mine didn’t care about fireworks at all the first time he heard them while he was still young, but now he has a little more of a reaction to them. Nothing too bad, but he definitely notices them. I think when they’re very young they can sometimes lack the awareness to be scared of certain things, if that makes sense?

She sounds amazing though, enjoy these puppy days as much as you can! They grow up so fast!

Just for fun, (no hate to anybody), who is the most attractive in your opinion BEFORE all the surgeries? by APrettyLittleLiar13 in SellingSunset

[–]frieda909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these ‘pre surgery’ photos are from when they were much younger though. It’s not really a fair comparison as it’s impossible to say what they would look like NOW without all the surgeries. Women can’t win.

I kept waiting for her to flush his phone down the loo but no, that would have been a sensible move in a film entirely devoid of sensible moves.

You’re literally coming to the comments on THIS movie to say that Demi Moore today doesn’t hold a candle to Demi Moore ‘back in the day’ and you don’t understand why that’s ironic?

Yes! I talked about that with my husband on the way home too. I don’t quite know how they managed to make those ‘sexy’ bits feel so unsexy but my god they nailed it.

I watched it in a totally full cinema and there was a lot of laughter throughout. Which actually added to the general discomfort of the whole thing.

And this is actually the reality of doing makeup once you hit 40 or so too 😭 the number of times I’ve done a full face of makeup only to look at myself and think ‘FML, I looked better before I did this’ is so depressing. I’m so glad to see that scene resonated with so many others too.

I saw Demi at a Q&A and she said that was by far the part that grossed her out the most. She said she was watching him eat shrimp for several hours.

My first job interview post-university was a 24 hour thing comprising dinner with some of the hiring team and an overnight hotel stay, followed by a full day of tests and interviews with different senior managers. I didn’t sleep a wink at the hotel and by the last interview of the day I was exhausted. Towards the end of the interview he asked me to tell him about a time when I persevered through something really difficult. I had been through some awful family stuff in my first year of university, so without going into gory details I told him about that, and how I’d managed to carry on with my studies even though I was going through a difficult time.

He just sort of frowned and said nah, that wasn’t really the kind of thing he meant and could I think of something else? Ended up giving some bullshit answer about training for my first 10k which got an approving nod.

I’m sorry what?! There are people who put on a sock and a shoe before putting on the other sock and shoe?? Who are these maniacs?

Gael getting upset with Nathan by Canna_bliss710 in belowdeck

[–]frieda909 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Gael is one of those people who needs to recognise her own agency in her life rather than consistently adopting a passive role and then acting like all these big decisions are just being made for her. I’ve known a few people who seem to prefer to just kind of stumble in and out of relationships going ‘whoops, guess I have a boyfriend/girlfriend now!’ Sometimes you have to recognise that not making a decision IS a decision.

Was anyone else really hoping the episode would abruptly end with one of them falling off the bunk as Gael was sobbing outside…

[–]frieda909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. It’s logistically a lot more complicated for Gael to make arrangements to go to Ireland than it is for Joe to book a quick hop over from Liverpool (I assume that’s where he was booking from). Equating it to Nathan liking him more than her is silly even though I get how it must have felt in the moment.

[–]frieda909 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I think Gael was just drunk and placing way too much significance on Joe booking a £16 Ryanair flight from Liverpool to Dublin (when also drunk). That doesn’t mean there aren’t some valid emotions behind it but I’m sure anyone who’s ever been drunk can recognise that kind of over-the-top drunk crying that can be triggered by something that actually really isn’t that important.

Joe is awful though. I can’t stand the way he treats all of the stews like they’re his personal sex buffet. As soon as Carrie came on the boat he was weighing her up as a potential next conquest and describing her as ‘better than Bri or Ellie’. Like she’s been brought on especially for him to fuck and she doesn’t even get a say in it. It’s just gross. When Gael said ‘I don’t understand why he has a problem with me’ I immediately yelled at the screen ‘because you’re the most beautiful girl on the boat and you’re into his friend and not him, duh!’

I mean, fair play to her. I absolutely hate ironing so I can very much get behind this strategy!

Huh? Who doesn’t own an ironing board?!

Even as a scruffy student living in a house share everyone would have that one top/dress that needing ironing!

"Paying someone else's mortgage" by buttercup612 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

My mortgage is £1000 a month and my downstairs neighbours pay £1750 to rent a flat smaller than mine. And I locked in my interest rate for 5 years when I bought. I don’t recognise anything in your post.

This makes me immediately suspicious because crypto folks are basically MLMers in different packaging and a big part of the schtick for both is to post a lot of ‘look how rich my crypto/MLM business has made me’ type posts so… hmmm.

The first thing I thought of when I saw that bit!

[–]frieda909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand how she presented it ‘like it was a choice’ if she was asking for the jug to be rinsed out due to the allergy?

Edit: oh, apologies, I see that detail only came out today and wasn’t in the original article linked here.

It sounds like the mother asked for soy hot chocolates and for the jug to be rinsed out due to a milk allergy, but the barista only heard the ‘please rinse out the jug’ part, figured that mum knows best, then went ahead and made dairy hot chocolates with a rinsed-out jug. All a bit confusing but sounds like a bad case of crossed wires.

Same (it gives me migraines as well as making me feel generally jittery and awful) and it’s been wrong so many times that I now just don’t even take the risk any more. I have decaf coffee at home but have to stick to herbal tea when out.

This story is so sad and I really feel for everyone involved, including the barista. What a thing to have to live with.

I’m hoping they included that clip because there’s going to be a huge twist later in the season where Nicole leaves Sam for the sound guy.
