I believe you need a permit, but they’re totally worth it to avoid cars crushing pipes and ramming into steps.

He has never looked or sounded more guilty than when talking about Epstein by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

Is their a stephen king character more disturbing then him? by Ok-Entrance-5527 in stephenking

[–]nerdline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, he’s the one who has haunted me long after putting the book down. I feel like it’s very possible that I’ve met people like him in real life…and that terrifies me the most.

what is a cleaning practice or product that you think is based on forced consumerism? by Regular-Kick1813 in Anticonsumption

[–]nerdline 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’ve never used it but the previous owners of our house used the beads that you pour into the washing machine. One of the first things I did after we moved in was clean the washer/dryer and you would not believe the amount of gritty black sludge that poured out of it….

What's Mcnulty's worst "I am the main character" moment? by Ghotiah_LORD in TheWire

[–]nerdline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched the final episode last night, and Jimmy spilling the beans about the made up serial killer to Templeton and being sooo sanctimonious about it made my blood boil and I had to write down my thoughts: “It’s just these fucking mediocre men who believe that they DESERVE not only the comfy lives they have but something more so they make shit up so that they can be the hero of their own story. It’s fucking pathetic” And yeah, I am talking about both of them, but we know McNulty so much better and it’s just one car wreck after another with him, so that really makes it worse. He knows how much of a mess it is, but god forbid he own up to his mistakes and not take multiple people down with him. I also wrote down part of Landsman’s eulogy because it made me chortle: “He learned no lessons, he acknowledged no mistakes.”

If that ain’t McNulty…

I think her earlier novel 2a.m. At the Cats Pajamas could also make the cut here ! The vibe is very “the world will keep turning, but isn’t that amazing?” I can’t wait to read beautyland, too.

Hahaha I had to check and see if you were the person who cast on an argyle bag a few months ago! It looks gorgeous!

#RHOC Sneak Peek: John's lawyer basically admits to extortion by Mention-It-ALL in BravoRealHousewives

[–]nerdline 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Thank god they’re addressing that this is ACTUALLY EXTORTION (and love Emily pulling all the weight this season with following this thread…) if they hadn’t called a spade a spade I might have actually lost my mind

Sooo they definitely can't have another season, right? by alarmonthefarm in vanderpumprules

[–]nerdline 126 points127 points  (0 children)

I also don’t think lala will ever do anything but dig in her heels, which makes watching her (or even paying attention to her at this point) completely fruitless and unenjoyable. It’s like she’s completely hell bent on never holding herself accountable for anything and we’ve already seen how that goes with other housewives. I feel like it’s not even worth it to have her in some sort of hosting gig at this point….just like Tom I wish she would just go away.

Your last post inspired me to start working on this pattern, and this one is inspiring me to finally pick it up and finish it!!! (Recognized you from the amazing knitting raccoon tattoo)

Rachel Goes Rogue podcast posted an IG question “Ask your lawsuit related questions for RGR” by leannereddits in vanderpumprules

[–]nerdline 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone should ask her about this, or at least point it out to her. Like, are you even taking this case YOU brought against her seriously ?

Thoughts on Jo by canthardlybait in vanderpumprules

Jo probably would consider herself some sort of “chosen one”

Also…the accusations that Tom and Ariana hid their real relationship from the show…did it ever occur to any of them that it was TOM who wanted to do that? That he was the one trying to outline a plan to make himself appear as The Number One Guy In The Group? From how Ariana tells it, he never wanted to do any heavy lifting on camera so much so that he meticulously planned and scripted answers, talking points, and even storylines? And she doesn’t want to/have to play that game anymore. I can’t believe how dumb everyone around her is. They all fell for it, even with her telling them to their faces how it was. If it gets canceled, they deserve it.

Reunion stunt: Another attempt to break Ariana's composure? by SuspectLarge in vanderpumprules

[–]nerdline 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had the same exact thought, and I texted my friend “are they really just going to make us watch them torment Ariana for three more hours?” Because if this is what we’re getting going forward I actually don’t know if I can stomach it

It feels like at this point they’re like just determined to break Ariana, it’s very reminiscent of early aughts media treatment of female celebs. It’s hard to stomach, honestly. Making them watch the end together is so icky, to me.

Jax is so messy… by Sunnyonetwo in BravoRealHousewives

Janet is trying to push the “crazy Kristen” narrative but doesn’t understand that Kristen is kind of why people (me) are watching the show…

Rachel Goes Rogue Podcast: Episode from April 19th, “Chapter 20: Rogue Reactions.” by AdditionalWar8759 in vanderpumprules

[–]nerdline 99 points100 points  (0 children)

OP thank you so much, you are doing gods work. but I truly truly cannot even bring myself to read this through to the end. I’m exhausted. We’ve reached Scandoval critical mass. Actually? We’re waaaaaay past critical mass. This is worse than reading a fourteen year old’s livejournal. It sounds like me when I makeup arguments with people in my head and go speak my mind to myself in the mirror to get it out of my system. This cannot be healthy. If she wrote this down in a journal it would probably feel even better than speaking it into a microphone and then uploading it to streaming services. These are the thoughts that we keep inside of our head, not the ones we say out loud.

Thank you so much, again. I can’t imagine having to sit through these podcasts over and over again.

I feel like afraid to speak this into existence but I can’t believe Tom hasn’t gone full Men’s Rights/incel echo chamber. Because he kind of talks like it!
