The other day I met a guy and his opening line was "So, what do you think of Andrew Tate?" and without pausing to even let me speak, he ploughed on forward with "Because I reckon I agree with him about 20%."
My response was "Just to warn you, you sound like a little like a douche." And he gets REAL mad.
The feeling when you lose an argument because you were so shocked you couldn't sound coherent and you spend the next 10 years thinking about that. This was not that.
"Hitler supported free health care and in the 40s was going around telling everyone to stop smoking. Do you support Hitler 20%?"
Oh my lord.
I think one of the reasons the first wives club was so good was because it was about women supporting women. A lot of comedies pit women against each other and 90% of the time it's because they're fighting over guys. Mean Girls and Bride Wars and the like. High School Musical 2 is a prime example. But then there's these brilliant movies like Pitch Perfect and the First Wives club where it's about friendships and platonic love which are really brilliant. They're refreshing. I watched it and for a movie that was made in the 90s it has aged REALLY well. In the first wives club even though they're angry at the young women their husbands are dating, it's not made out to be their fault. It's more aimed at their husbands.
It is so funny. I think i cried laughing. Also kudos to them for having a lesbian character who was shown in such a positive light. I cannot believe this was made in the 90s. (I've mentioned this like three times I know) The mum is so supportive about the her daughter coming out and makes a huge effort to connect with her.
I don't know if anyone else thought this but I've just finished watching Season 1 of Stranger Things for the first time (I know I'm late to it but please no spoilers!!!) and did anyone else think that Will was going to get pregnant with slug things like that dude in Round the Twist did that one episode?
This cannot be a coincidence. In nine months Will is going to be the proud mother to an inter dimensional slug baby.
And on another note Round the Twist was...something. I remember loving it as a kid so I went back and watched a bunch of episodes on youtube and oh man. It's a lot.

why are people still simping for kylo ren when he looks like someone chucked a dark-sider in warm water to de-thaw and left him there too long
Foxfire's school hours. It's well established that elves live across the globe, and with light leaping it's not hard to travel, but like, if they live all around the world, they all live in different time zones. So some kids would go to school when it's dark at home. How do they decide when? It's not talked about at all in the books and this annoys me a lot. Is there Elvin Standard Time?
I know that they make a big point in the books that they have no Human prejudices but I think that clearly they do. Everyone's a little weirded out by the fact that Sophie wears pAnTs and doesn't like dresses or glitter (which is scandalous and totally not common for millions of girls around the world) and clearly they don't have any boys who wear dresses or girls who shave their heads. All the girls and boys conform to stereotypically gendered forms of beauty. No muscular girls. No fat characters. No short boys. No feminine girls. No trans or gender neutral characters. What's up with that?
On that note it really feels like Shannon Messenger is becoming J K Rowling just a little. There are no openly gay or queer characters after eight and a half books so something smells a little funky there.
The crystal palaces. Where do they get all that crap from? There's a reason these are precious stones.
The nobility. Everyone acts like it's super exclusive but like, there has to be one mentor for each kid at Foxfire, because classes are individual, and there has to be hundreds of kids. So there's hundreds of nobility whose only job is to teach kids. Not even go on missions or emissary work or whatever.
This is just edition one everyone strap yourselves in.
My parents told me to go and watch this, so I was initially very very skeptical, because they told me Crocodile Dundee was gonna be good and that is a whole separate disaster.
But it's...so good.
Most of the jokes have aged so well and it is eerily clever how quickly it can transition from laugh out loud funny to bawling my eyes out sad.
I love all the characters so much (Except Frank. Hello Frank) And it was made in the 70s. But there are still elements of it that are progressive today, and the themes and ideas about war are pretty timeless.
None of my friends are watching it, and the MASH community on Tumblr is frighteningly small. I'm really hoping someone wants to yell about it with me.
