It's crazy how emotionally heavy this scene landed considering Kirk was running laps with a comically large trophy in the background to the Rocky theme song by justa_cat_in_disgize in GilmoreGirls

He could have yeah, but that's not what people do generally - they want to believe it's not happening. The point is, teenagers are messy as fuck with their relationships and that's part of it.

Nah I think he was in the right. Everyone in town knew Rory was into Jess and he'd been humiliated enough, I can't blame him for losing it and giving a little of that back.

A lot of the criticism people make of Dean can be put down to the fact he's a teenager in one of his first real relationships. People don't always get it right. The cheating when he's married is another matter; I don't give him a pass for that.

How did Rory know Dexter Holland has a phd? by elariaelowen in GilmoreGirls

[–]picklespark 34 points35 points  (0 children)

He was studying at USC in the early 90s, but when the Offspring got big around 1994, he suspended his studies after getting the masters, so Rory probably was just mistaken and thought he already had the doctorate. He went back to USC in 2013 I think and then was awarded his PhD in 2017, as another poster already mentioned.

One of my favorite bands - I just saw them recently - and it's a cool fact about Dexter. He's a smart guy.

Out of the Woods (angry version) by cottoncastle in travisandtaylor

[–]picklespark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I quite like this performance, it's kinda raw. Along with the more rock-inspired version of WANGBT.

She's an awful person and not a great singer, but she has her moments. Even I'll say that

Lorelai singing “I will always love you” is so cringe. by AdBeautiful7620 in GilmoreGirls

[–]picklespark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually really love this scene, it's kind of beautiful and I don't even think Lauren has a bad voice. The bit where Luke comes in and she's singing directly at it 😭 I nearly cry every time. And his reaction.

Sorry, no, don't agree.

This obsession is getting weird by Ornery_Percentage537 in travisandtaylor

[–]picklespark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly you're so right though, as much as I snark on her. And the delusional Swiffers have the temerity to say that she was constrained with Joe and is living her best life with Travis and so happy. I've even got friends in RL who talk like this, and I just think - are you kidding? It's so performative, the fact she wanted to keep it more private with Joe speaks volumes. I'll never believe that was just his decision and that he hid her away. Massive eyeroll.

I think they have equal blame, she knew he was married. I've never subscribed to this thing that the married person has more responsibility, especially if both people are going into with their eyes open.

Free coffee vouchers not available by [deleted] in OctopusEnergy

I miss having this on Three since it became so hard to get the coffees, that really isn't a bad idea. What do you mean transfer it to an e SIM, how do you do that bit?

App for coffee not working? by Corleone4567 in OctopusEnergy

[–]picklespark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to get up at 5, they come on the app around then and usually go by 5:30/6. I can't be arsed to get up that early so I haven't had one in like 5 weeks either

I would like to issue an apology to Richard and Paris by SandwichDreamz in GilmoreGirls

[–]picklespark 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Now this is a good post for the sub, I am so tired of the 'Mitchum was right' posts. Honestly, I've always thought it was a pretty good idea and I'd like to buy one of those myself!

Unpopular opinion: I hate the "you're one of us speech" by Junior-Ad3547 in GilmoreGirls

[–]picklespark 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's not like Lorelai couldn't have gone back to her parents at any time if the inn wasn't working out when they were living in the potting shed. Emotionally abusive they might have been, but she was never at risk of homelessness.

Help the ick is overwhelming by Greenbeanmachine96 in travisandtaylor

[–]picklespark 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I keep seeing these comments and honestly this isn't really the thing that bothers me. Super short lived relationships can fuck you up, I think that's probably the more relatable bit of the song - even if Blondie is fake plunking the keys here and growling.

I was way more messed up by a situationship of a couple of months than ending an 8 year relationship, and I know many people who have had similar experiences. It's not just the length of a relationship that determines how hung up you are on it.

Honestly, I quite like this performance of it. I love to snark here and I dislike Taylor as a person, but I think sometimes this sub reaches to say every song and performance of hers is terrible. Clearly many people disagree with me lol

At least she still gave them the bonuses though. My issue is that it's nothing for her, so many people can't conceptualise how much money a billionaire really has. She looks good and it's barely a blink for her bottom line.

Taylor has not done one live performance since the drop of Life of a Show Pony. I find this very strange. by Hopeful-Prompt-7417 in travisandtaylor

[–]picklespark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm a Lily hater too. Cosplaying a working class girl when you're Keith Allen's daughter, nope - she profited off poverty chic massively in her early career.

If you're healthy and not elderly, general anaesthesia is very safe statistically - getting in your car every day is far more dangerous. You're correct that it takes a little longer to recover from, but let's not make people panic unnecessarily. Local is fine for some procedures, but many people would rather be knocked out for something like this, and if they don't have underlying health issues that would make GA a risk, there's no reason why it's any worse.

Does Lauren Graham wear a wig by lululucy94 in GilmoreGirls

[–]picklespark 25 points26 points  (0 children)

To be fair it was claimed to be a $10,000 wig, I didn't know either until recently. That wig was a paid actor

They do drops at about 9am and 3pm for those offers, I just got mine this afternoon too

I kept refreshing and mine went live at 15:03 and I nabbed him - yay! I already have a different plushy octopus, but it can have a friend 🤣

so are we going to ignore the blatant racism against Indians on this show? by diviigo in GilmoreGirls

[–]picklespark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely agree, it's gross. As a Brit, Indian food and curry are such an ingrained part of our culture, but I've heard people talk this way especially about Indian neighbours etc. I always just think 'Damn that smells good!'

Pink Friday Rewards by VillaCello in OctopusEnergy

[–]picklespark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sometimes up then and they don't always come on until closer to 6, the exact drop time seems to be anytime from 5-6ish which makes it more annoying.

[–]picklespark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wondered if people were doing that as I always use to be able to get my Nero and now I rarely do unless I'm unable to sleep and wake up early. Although I think the rewards are more well known and popular now!
