It's going to be called The Boiling Crab.

So yes. It's another bag boil seafood place.

OP's fiance already purchased the ring, so rudely trashing their choice is incredibly pointless. Diamonds are an extremely durable stone for daily-wear jewelry pieces. It could be an ethically sourced lab grown diamond.

>for reasons I won’t explain here

Does it have anything to do with Lightyear or Strange Planet?

We cancelled Netflix because I realized we hadn't used it in the better part of three months.

nova is a fucking snoozefest so idk what those people are on about

Grease has next to nothing to do with "gender roles". Sandy's makeover is still feminine, just sexual, and Danny's transformation is.... doing sports. Ah, the very non-male thing to do, sports!

I mean, according to this article, one of Rise of the Pink Ladies' creators apparently thinks that the theme of Grease was "defy gender stereotypes!" So the actual point of the source material seems to be entirely irrelevant to what's going to be produced.

If you want to include people of color, why not have it take place in Cuba, Jamaica, Bangladesh, Columbia, Nigeria, Korea... I think it would be very interesting to see a Grease-like story retooled to fit a different culture rather than yet another "American High School for Hot People".

dear god don't give them more ideas

2022 target demographic won't want to see 50s dynamics, so the show creators won't do that, and instead will update the messaging to be more current. That was the point of my original comment.

That's the point of the comment.

The article also mentions that they're going to make sure to include characters of color (who were left out of the 70s movie) and tell stories of "social justice".

Once again we have to hit that sweet sweet nostalgia g-spot while also acknowledging that the time periods and media we're so rabidly nostalgic for had some pretty unsavory aspects.

Pick one. Either accept that you can't make a 1950s show with 2022 morals, or stop clinging to outdated properties for recognition.

I don't think 1950s-style gender and relationship dynamics will translate well into 2022, and since we're seemingly incapable of viewing things as "of the times" there will almost certainly be an effort to update its sociopolitical messaging.

In short, we don't need this.

Also, I really love how one of the songs is misnamed as "Grease Lightning". Journalistic standards!!

I should have elaborated - I was thinking more that she might have a better knowledge of specific resources that OP can use and could give some advice.

Try contacting Smitty's Cat Rescue or the SPCA (I think it's called Susan Markel vet?)

My husband and I got out $200 to play slots with at the MGM casino. We dressed up kinda fancy and wanted to feel like ballers.

It was gone in about ten minutes. Stupidest $200 we'd ever spent. Also depressing to see the people staring into the machines like they were looking into the face of God.

Whoa man, what if like, society is a cult? It's like, the System, man... it's the Man, man.... like whoa

I mean at the very least cults are harmful because they'll drain money out of their followers to go to the leader/highest ups in the church.

"How did you learn to type so fast?"

"Well you see I get really angry at people on Reddit...."

^(actually i've always been a fast typist but my reddit argument typing is lightning speed)

Have you tried OfficeMax or Staples?

>On my long roadtrips I like to listen to Last Podcast on the Left (not everyone's cup of tea)

Listening to the Children of God series on my way up to decorate the tree with family has become a tradition for me, ever since my husband pointed out it's one of the worst ones to listen to before a family gathering.

I'm pretty sure that's the target age for that series. Kids who love to read generally come across lots of "mature" topics anyway since they can quickly get bored of YA/kiddie books and move on to heavier fare.

I love the AtHome there

I brought two older relatives with knee/arthritis issues to Lewis Ginter this summer. They did take a couple of breaks but had a wonderful time.

I'm in awe at the shape of the perfectly round hair. Blue Tank has that on lock.

If Nextdoor is any indication, people think that drug deals will be happening constantly in the parking lot (so little Johnny and Susie will get hooked on reefer!) and unsavory criminals will be waiting at Sheetz to kidnap any children within a 500 foot radius and be gone on the interstate before Mama even notices that little Johnny and Susie aren't in the candy aisle anymore.

Also all the nice suburban houses will Animorph into billboards and the community center will become a giant shopping mall, thus "commercializing quiet suburbs".
