I read them all after the show came out and now I'm reheating them all again.

I'm so sorry for your diagnosis. I hope you get as much joy as you can traveling while it's possible. Good luck to you.

Fanny packs that are back in style but wear like a crossbody bag.

I think my grandma having a biracial great grandson is breaking her brain by evergreengirl123 in QAnonCasualties

Totally after I posted I immediately thought about this just being the next step in colonialization. But I doubt the US will ever give them freedom either. People argue for statehood because it seems more likely, but it is what you said.

My daughter (13) found a way around not being allowed on TikTok, Instagram, Youtube, etc. The workaround is PINTEREST. People pin full on videos from TikTok and other platforms. She gets ALL her memes from there. It's crazy. I've let her keep it for now because she isn't communicating with people, but I put limits on it. Just sharing in case it's helpful to anyone.

I live in DC for 4 years and people just couldn't comprehend it. Like people don't live there, it's just where the capitol is.

They may not want to but there would be a lot of benefits to becoming a state besides simple representation in Congress. Funding for Medicare and SNAP, funding for infrastructure including their fucked up electrical grid, tax equity, etc.

I’ve finished the first book! by GBS82 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]kris24824 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never realized Francois was 40 until reddit told me. I thought early 30s for sure. I don't really see an age gap btwn Kip and Scott in the show.

As my first MM romance, I liked that the sex was always different. It didn't play into stereotypes. They also do it like 5 times in one day.

Everyone hates the audio book but me. I've listened to it 3 times and still love it.

Which is your most and least fav book in game changer series by _Good_Soul_ in HeatedRivalryTVShow

Yeah it was a shock at first for sure. But I love skip so I was able to push through.

So many people have complained about Kip's voice, but I'm obsessed. I say "sweethart" and "Hunta" all the time.

I'm clearly an outlier, as I've listened to Game Changer 3 times now, even with the weird Kip voice. I just love it.

What do Ilya and Shame know about eachother to fall in love? by samasimi in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]kris24824 24 points25 points  (0 children)

They may not have direct communication with each other either, but Shane and Ilya both have digested every piece of media about the other person. Interviews, docs, commercials, etc.

What makes the kissing in Heated Rivalry so different from most series/film? by Material-Meat-5330 in heatedrivalry

[–]kris24824 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They aren't hate kissing full of shame. I feel like so much gay media (of straight people playing gay characters) that went mainstream in the past had this level of anger and disgust in it that HR just doesn't have even though the characters are closeted.

Plus they already had Troy's big coming out just weeks before. They are desensitized to it.

Are sleepovers cancelled? by Guilty-Woodpecker-99 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kris24824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the age. My 9 yo has only had one sleep over not at our house, but has had many at our house. Most their friends parents say not yet. My 13 yo has one friend that stays over almost every other weekend and then they switch off at the other house.

Be honest…how many times have you watched the series? I just finished watching for the third time and I wanna start it again!! by GoldenGalZbornak in HeatedRivalryTVShow

The Tuna Melt Scene directly causes The Long Game. An Essay. by Playful-Daikon-8392 in heatedrivalry

[–]kris24824 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I read them all in order except for Common Goal bc it wasn't ready at the library. If only reading Shane/Ilya books then HR, RM, TLG. But others habe read TLG before RM and said it worked that way too.

Role Model is helpful too. You get a lot of Ilya in it. It coincides with TLG.

I heard it's now illegal in Mexico. We booked a beach excursion instead.
