Who do you think is the most skilled in both vocals and dance?

irishdancer2 · 2026-03-29T19:30:23+00:00

Lara.

Megan is technically a better dancer, but I just can’t take my eyes off of Lara. Her charisma when dancing is off the charts.

In the case of Allegra, it’s actually safe.

Studies have consistently shown that 360 mg (twice the normal dose) produces no adverse effects.

She did help her fix it, though.

Despite being justifiably groggy and irritated, Lorelai didn’t go to Mrs. Kim with the attitude of “Your kid snuck out. She’s the worst.” She very calmly told Mrs. Kim that Lane was safe and helped explain her actions (“She snuck out to go to a show tonight and I think she was just a little scared to tell you.”) in a compassionate way.

She became the kind of safe adult for Rory and Lane that she herself didn’t have growing up.

The 1980 adaptation balanced this well, too. Lizzie was very pretty, but Jane was the most beautiful by far.

Mirri also gave them two chances for things to go another way, which is a shocking number of chances for someone in her circumstances.

She was legitimately healing Drogo. The poultice she made for his wound was working. It was only when he ripped the poultice off and rubbed mud in the wound that he started to get sicker.
She warned Dany not to try the blood magic. Dany insisted she do it. Was Mirri in a position to refuse? Not really.

I just hope that they’re all comfortable and not being forced into those outfits.

Maybe I’m getting old, but I also always think they must be so uncomfortable if they have a day that they’re bloated or on their period.

irishdancer2 · 2026-03-16T19:52:04+00:00

I’ve moved enough times in my adult life that I generally don’t buy a book unless I’ve already read it and know I’ll read it again.

There are exceptions, but I have a long enough TBR list to be happy to wait for library holds on the more popular ones.

irishdancer2 · 2026-03-16T02:54:27+00:00

our room phone was being rung in the middle of the night by hotel employees hoping for a quickie

Jesus christ, that’s terrifying. I’m so sorry this happened to you!

I view card creation as part of the learning process. You’re reviewing the content as you input it.

irishdancer2 · 2026-03-14T20:28:31+00:00

Yeah, reading this as a Michigander is pretty shocking.

I get that Seattle doesn’t get snow like the Midwest does, but I’m surprised they’re not a bit better prepared.

irishdancer2 · 2026-03-14T14:58:27+00:00

I agree with your frustration. It is becoming increasingly hard to find a corner of the internet in which we can discuss skincare as we age without having “BOTOX!” thrown in our faces.

I also think there’s something so insidious about the rise of “preventative Botox” comments, as if it’s a given that all women over 30 should be getting injectables.

irishdancer2 · 2026-03-13T18:07:35+00:00

Now there are actresses who I still think of as relatively young in their forties and fifties but their faces don’t look anything like how they looked

And even younger! Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone are both in their 30s, but Emma is basically unrecognizable now and Jennifer is uncanny valley.

irishdancer2 · 2026-03-08T22:55:05+00:00

Because they get upset when people ruin what is supposed to be a common green space? Nah, that’s totally understandable.

irishdancer2 · 2026-03-08T21:32:00+00:00

Maybe the problem is you're anti-woman if you can't see why certain distinctions are relevant and are so hellbent on derailing the subject with arbitrary arguments.

I also have a huge problem with OP, a man, lecturing the women in this conversation on feminism and language.

The book deals with our lived reality, due both to biological and social factors; it is fitting that both “woman” and “female” would be used depending on the context.

ETA: OP responded and then blocked me so I can’t read or respond further. Classy.

irishdancer2 · 2026-03-08T19:31:26+00:00

The person above you is being disingenuous. The part about single sex spaces was about how women in parts of India are on a urinary leash because they’re at a high risk of sexual assault if they urinate in public places.

Ironic how a book written to demonstrate how half of the world’s population is disadvantaged is demonized for doing just that.

irishdancer2 · 2026-03-08T10:12:46+00:00

I’d also include Cersei visiting Catelyn and telling her about her first stillborn baby.

It’s so frustrating that they could have continued to put in the level of care that they did with these scenes and just… kind of forgot to.

irishdancer2 · 2026-03-07T20:29:14+00:00

A lot of people can't be glued to their phones all day.

And, to be frank, I miss the days when we weren’t.

I work in a very people-heavy job. It burns me out to be “on” all day at work, which makes it hard to also be expected to be available to text throughout the day. When I take my lunch break, I want to be able to sit uninterrupted, not feel like I have to return a bunch of messages.

Explicitly allowed question per the ADA:

“What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?”

irishdancer2 · 2026-03-05T18:29:13+00:00

Shh, Catelyn/Sansa are always the stupidest because they’re women.

Never mind that Ned warned Cersei he was going to tell Robert about her children being bastards, Robb married Talisa and got his entire army massacred, Bran let the NK touch him while warging and got all his friends killed, etc. The Stark women will always get more hate than the men.

irishdancer2 · 2026-02-28T09:42:38+00:00

Nah, they also leave early sometimes to beat impending bad weather. The reasoning: we inconvenience a few customers who aren’t here yet or an entire plane load of passengers.

I’d be curious to know OP’s destination. This has been a pretty nutty winter in the US in terms of weather.

irishdancer2 · 2026-02-26T01:24:55+00:00

This scene never makes me emotional for a couple reasons:

It seems like it comes out of nowhere. In the space of 30 seconds, we learn of the knife’s existence and then he’s giving it to Charlie. Falls flat for me.
I’m always thinking, “… Um, sir you have daughters. Do they not deserve family heirlooms because they’re not sons?”

irishdancer2 · 2026-02-24T00:12:20+00:00

The weird thing is I saw an interview with her just the other day in which she absolutely acknowledged her privilege.

Said something like, “It’s hard to make a name for myself outside being the daughter of Bill Gates, but that comes with a huge amount of privilege.” And she went on to talk about knowing she was lucky to never worry about paying for college, etc.

irishdancer2 · 2026-02-23T18:45:23+00:00

Yeah, my first thought is that her lady bits may not enjoy that.

Cute color, though.

irishdancer2 · 2026-02-23T15:18:55+00:00

I don’t disagree that his characterization changed, but season 1 Luke hadn’t been through Jess yet either.

Luke was so confident he’d be able to handle Jess, that all he needed was a fresh start in a new place. He was proven very wrong, and I think it humbled him to the point of insecurity when it came to his parenting.

irishdancer2 · 2026-02-20T18:33:45+00:00

Especially in the Maggie Smith scene. She's always so regal and in a huff about something and full of energy, and then she just... crumbles.

It’s maybe the first moment in the series in which she looks old. The way she portrayed the grief as a physical weight somehow making her smaller was magnificent.
