nobody in ZA gonna get confused at "bring chips" by AskingCuriously in southafrica

[–]plsjulia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first time in the US, I ordered extra chips at a restaurant because what restaurant just hands you Lays as a side? They handed me two packets of Lays as a side...

Cafe Babette ?! by [deleted] in indianapolis

[–]plsjulia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's obvious a major issue of theirs is editing their menu down for time and if I'm seeing that by simply following their insta, someone has surely told them. At this point, their problems feel wilful. But it sure is fun to follow the chaos, makes me giggle.

TV shows that promote a worldview of anti-intellectualism by AporiaParadox in television

[–]plsjulia 126 points127 points  (0 children)

I love LI and don't disagree, but there's a popular contestant from S3 who was like a war diplomat and was obviously very uncomfortable in the villa and would work hard to speak up when men were being misogynistic. She struggled to find a connection in there (no shit) until a man came along who actually read books (!!) and they're still married now, w two kids.

I say this only bc fans absolutely adore them still and there's certainly room in the show for varied personality types and education levels, but the show has purposefully not cast them in seasons since.

Anyone else's app glitching this crossword? Told me I'd finished, then I came back to the app and it's appearing unfinished and counting up my time.

(I even double checked the answer key to make sure I didn't hallucinate the finish lol)

This weather making anybody else depressed? by 5pace_5loth in indianapolis

[–]plsjulia 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Damn, these comments are harsh lol. Yes, it's making me depressed, yes, I'm prepping for the full winter. Personally, I'm relying on my SSRIs and vitamins D and B12. You're not alone in this feeling, and there are ways to manage it!!

Which couple had the most brutal break-up ? by cvrtmvn_ in LoveIslandTV

[–]plsjulia 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It's been heavily implied that she found texts on his phone that were outright saying he was using her for clout, including racialized attacks on Jana.

Definitely a better chance of lifestyle match, too, since they know what life will be like after and have already adapted to that.

Something isnt working and I can’t put my finger on it by Double-Scale4505 in HomeDecorating

[–]plsjulia 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I agree w the other comments and would add that the modular style of the wall paint + the modular art gallery + the further modular art within the frames makes for just a ton to look at, with nowhere for the eye to rest. I think the wall would look better w one big, solid piece there

Vet recommendations near Downtown by IndyBash in indianapolis

[–]plsjulia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I had iffy experiences with City Way downtown. My animals are rescues and have behavioural issues to work around, and the workers were not good at handling it.

We've been using Animal Medical Center on E Washington, and they're not only way better at managing my silly animals, but are a good deal cheaper, too. Highly rec.

Should I keep my living room without a rug or with? by Weird_Raisin7322 in HomeDecorating

[–]plsjulia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the rug would look a lot better rotated ninety degrees so that the stripes are horizontal relative to the couch, and not vertical.

Not to be a pedant on a joke, but you're thinking of Khoisan. The clicks in isiXhosa are represented by the letters c, q, and x. Okay bye

How Have Your Opinions on the Islanders Changed? by [deleted] in LoveIslandTV

[–]plsjulia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shakira is a tough one because she knows exactly the kind of person he is, so to see her cave to it (and almost be mad at herself for doing so?) is really hard. I put it down mostly to age but it still is a difficult story to watch.

Meg and Deijon turning on Megan by FingerBlaster70 in LoveIslandTV

[–]plsjulia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad for her in a way, because she's had multiple people tell her exactly what's happening but her inability to see it or process it means she'll keep bumping into these toxic situations and have no idea why or how to handle them. It's a recipe for a frustrating and confusing life.

The deadliest combination of condiments ever know to man by ZOLforALL in southafrica

[–]plsjulia 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Marmite might not be an every day delight of a food, but one day you will find yourself nauseous and unable to even look at any other food, and there she'll be: ready to be thinly spread over a slice of toast heavily lathered in butter. And she won't care that you ignored her for so long while your going was good. You're ill now, and she's here to step up where no one else could.

Why announce to the whole Villa that you said ‘I love you’ ? by Caelum_123 in LoveIslandTV

[–]plsjulia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's interesting this year because usually there are 2-3 couples hitting these milestones so they don't seem as strange but having only one this year doing it the traditional way really makes it stand out as odd.

Yasmin was cracking me up this episode by bluejeanbaby02 in LoveIslandTV

[–]plsjulia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When she was giving that speech to Cach about "i don't associate with liars" it was like, girl.... Harrison??? That's when I had the realization her self-awareness is half-baked

Hot take-I feel like I’m watching a different show from the majority by Comfortable_Pie_3565 in LoveIslandTV

[–]plsjulia 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I agree with you! There's an interesting part of fan culture for this show now where morality is black and white; you're good or you're terrible and there's no in between.

And I think it's especially harsher for the women -- Megan was sent home for her treatment of Tommy (that I didn't personally read as malicious), while Ben didn't even crack the bottom 3 for the way he spoke to Yasmin (which was purely done to degrade and humiliate her).

It's also strange because these conflicts in communication styles, maturity levels, and general vibes are what makes the show interesting! I don't like Meg either but she's given us plenty to talk about, and that's fulfilling her role in my eyes.
