davidspackage posted:I think it's... I can't say admirable, but at least he's owning up to his bad behavior. There's some vaguely defensive stuff about his upbringing, but mostly he's laying out the bad poo poo he did. It’s not hard to read it as him just pre-emptively trying to exonerate himself, though. It’s hosed up; do we accept the mea culpa and believe that he honestly wants to change? It would be nice if it’s true. But it’s real easy to be cynical about it.

Timby posted:Don't be obtuse, you know what I meant. And for a small corner diner that's open for literally twelve hours a day, losing an entire day's worth of receipts (plus the costs of the food that has to be prepped to be shown on-camera and for "customers" to be eating) kind of stings. Yeah, but you said so yourself, the show helped their business enormously, and continues to do so every time that episode is shown.

It’s a long term investment, and a sound one from what you’ve said. You pretty thoroughly undercut your point before you even tried to make it.

Vegetable posted:What does it mean to be Single White Female'd by somebody, I still don't understand Single White Female is a movie in which Bridget Fonda advertises for a new roommate (the eponymous single white female), an ad which Jennifer Jason Leigh answers. Then Jennifer Jason Lee slowly begins to emulate Fonda in an attempt to subvert her and take over her life. The phrase “single white female” became a kind of cultural shorthand for a person mimicking someone else, usually with ominous, obsessive overtones.

I don’t think anyone actually thinks Faraci is literally stalking his accuser. But he’s obviously trying to spin his “rehabilitation” to enhance his brand, and it’s creepy and sad that his method of choice is something taught by his accuser.

Even with the bad guys, Meowth, Koffing, and Ekans, they're fully on board with Jesse and James' plans.

The idea of even signing up for an app like this seems like such a colossally bad idea if you’re a celebrity. It just seems like needlessly exposing yourself to the risk of bad publicity on the probably infinitesimal chance that you meet someone worthwhile.

Or did I read a few bad takes on Twitter and get it jumbled up? I don’t know what kind of people they are, and I always feel like anyone judging people (celebrities or otherwise) based on their acrimonious divorce proceedings is kind of poor form. No one is going to look good in a snapshot from one of the worst times in their life, especially when much of what you’re hearing is coming from their aggrieved soon-to-be ex.
