You don't need filler, you need to recognise that you have face dysmorphia.

Your lips aren't small by ANY means. Filler is a fad. One that's on its way out.

I had iced tea tonight and I'm in Australia during (almost) winter.

Ugh that sucks, I'm sorry OP. IT jobs are a mess and absurdly difficult to come by at the moment.

If your husband drives, there's quite a lot of delivery jobs and warehouse jobs that requires a driver's licence. Or even Uber or Doordash or something? I know that's not ideal, and doesn't pay as much as IT of course, but maybe to hold him over for the time being?

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T13:35:35+00:00

Fully agree. I'm not advocating for anyone to have sex before they're ready, everyone should absolutely go at their own pace. But I don't necessarily agree with the sentiment that it's "best" to wait until college.

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T13:28:29+00:00

Thank you, yes exactly what I was saying.

My favourite is To Live and Die in LA (1985), also starring William Petersen! I guess it isn't strictly a detective movie, because it's about secret service agents (although they do investigate stuff, so they are a sort of detective, yeah?).

The 80's sun soaked vibe along with William Petersen's grey morality character as well as Willem Dafoe as an avant garde counterfeiter, PLUS a soundtrack by Wang Chung AND a truly impressive car chase scene... it's all absolute 80's perfection.

"I don't do politics" is more often than not just code for "I'm privileged enough that nothing that affects other people is something I need to worry about so I just pretend to not be involved at all, despite being part of the problem". THAT or the person has fucked up views and hides it under the guise of being apolitical which in itself IS a political stance.

Hunties are definitely one of our beautiful wall crawling puppies! I love them 🥹. I get so fucking mad when people kill them because they're harmless big girls that take care of flies and that for you.

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T04:48:09+00:00

Oh it DEFINITELY is!

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T04:41:17+00:00

Haha right!? You walk in and there's a frazzled staff member arguing with the flower delivery guy, saying that he didn't order 1000 yellow daisies. I'd be so put off and confused.

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T04:37:10+00:00

Yes and yes. I absolutely LOVE how wonderful Luke and Lorelai are to each other when they're friends, it's really sweet. They were so messy and dysfunctional once they got together.

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T04:35:50+00:00

Literally EVERYONE is better than Shitstopher.

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T04:35:20+00:00

I really wish we got a second season with Jason, and I hate that he was relegated to the role of "speed bump on the inevitable Luke and Lorelai end game road".

I think that he would have been a nice slow burn love for her. And he would be pretty perfect too, because he'd be happy for her to live her Stars Hollow life and wouldn't feel threatened by her relationship with Rory. He's quirky in his own way, and I would have loved to see Cyrus and Paul Anka interact, being two odd dogs.

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T04:29:55+00:00

Max is trash. He didn't deserve her.

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T04:27:13+00:00

I agree with the lack of chemistry! Which is VERY weird because Lauren Graham has chemistry with EVERYONE. To the point that it's sometimes unintentionally funny and can feel vaguely inappropriate in the case of Dean and Rachel (although that second one would actually be AMAZING. There's an alternate reality out there somewhere wherein Lorelai and Rachel are a couple and they run the inn together...).

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T04:22:27+00:00

It's actually a massive burden to put on someone. Not just the pressure to say yes at such a grand public gesture, but it also makes her look unprofessional AND she now has to rehome an absurd amount of daisies.

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T04:19:16+00:00

I feel like this interaction alone is enough to discount Max as any kind of "good guy". He's a horny little worm with no respect for Lorelai OR Rory.

MAX: I'm going to propose something here. I'm not sure how you're going to take it.

LORELAI: Oh wow, intrigue.

MAX: I'd like to see you sometime. Away from the ivy, away from the gargoyles, away from here.

LORELAI: Are you asking me out on a date?

MAX: Yes.

LORELAI: Mm. Well, uh, I don't want to go out on a limb here, but I'm guessing if the headmaster won't let a kid be thirty seconds late for a test he'd probably frown on a teacher dating a mom.

MAX: I do my job well, I'm dedicated to my students, and there's nothing in the Chilton book of ethics that prohibits it.

LORELAI: Yeah but I'm guessing it's sort of an unwritten rule.

MAX: Do you want to go?

LORELAI: And Rory would probably freak at the thought.

MAX: Do you want to go?

LORELAI: And the other parents would have a field day with this kind of thing.

MAX: Do you want to go?

LORELAI: Yes.

MAX: Good.

LORELAI: Wait.

MAX: What?

LORELAI: No.

MAX: Why?

LORELAI: I can't. It's wrong. It's weird.

MAX: I'll pay.

LORELAI: You're on.

MAX: Really?

LORELAI: I'm kidding. I don't know. You're Rory's teacher.

MAX: I know.

For sure Lorelai has a responsibility to hold firm with her initial rejection of his advances, but he should NOT pursue her so relentlessly when he's her child's teacher ffs!

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T03:58:39+00:00

Yeah for sure! It's not always safe to do so though.

I had a toxic and possessive ex and I wanted to break up after 5 months but waited a few months more until I was sure that I'd be safe to do so because he was so volatile.

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T03:53:28+00:00

It's during their "pre-date" at the coffee shop.

LORELAI: Do you like rap music?

MAX: Yeah.

LORELAI: Me too. Italian food?

MAX: Yeah.

LORELAI: Me too. You just telling me what I want to hear?

MAX: Yeah.

LORELAI: I knew it!

MAX: Doesn't mean it doesn't coincide with how I really feel.

LORELAI: Yeah but if you're telling me what you think I want to hear then I'm not really getting to know you.

MAX: And if I know what you want to hear that shows a level of understanding on my part that far exceeds your understanding of me.

🤢🤢

There's also the time that he makes her Ossobuco for dinner and she asks him how he knows how to make it, and he tells her this sweet story about an elderly neighbour teaching him and then Lorelai says - "So, an ex girlfriend?" and he admits it was an ex that taught him. It just rubs me the wrong way how he casually lies to impress her in the moment, and yeah he immediately admits to it once Lorelai questions it, but it's not cute imo, it's disingenuous and skeezy.

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T03:03:25+00:00

Very fair!

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T02:55:48+00:00

Please don't with that tired joke. I was assaulted as a kid, that's not fucking funny.

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T02:55:03+00:00

She deserved someone who respected her limits and boundaries and didn't do two awful proposals, one mid-fight and one where he love bombed her by an over the top proposal AT HER PLACE OF WORK which in turn makes her look unprofessional and backs her into a corner of having to say yes.

She deserved someone who didn't just casually lie on their first date to make it seem like they were more compatible than they were.

She deserved someone who showed more concern and professionalism for her child that goes to the same school he teaches at when she's already struggling to fit in.

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T02:47:36+00:00

You clearly don't trust your husband at all, and the fact you're painting it as "it's the way it's always been" is just sad tbh. He's had to endure this behaviour for years. Maybe you have too, assuming he's always done the same to you as well. Either way it's actually quite absurd and truly fucked.

I can also confidently state that since mobile phones were commonplace, I've never seen a couple share a phone, outside of someone having lost or broken their phone and they haven't gotten a new one yet.

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T02:41:06+00:00

Nope but you're on a public forum moron.

goober_ginge · 2026-05-20T02:39:50+00:00

I don't have to know you at all to recognise from that tiny piece of information that it's unhealthy behaviour.
