I dated a Japanese man before in college, freshman year, he's an exchange student. And yeah, when we started dating (he asked me out), I probably was thin in his eyes, but I was onset on getting my freshman 10 (due to poor food management on my behalf). So on our dinner date, he'd say things like: "Hey, if you eat too much, you can gain a lot of weight." LOL. And if there's another Asian women who are thinner than myself nearby us he'd openly stare at them (this was on our date too) and would say things like, that's how a girl should look like. Obviously, we didn't date long. I lost my freshman weight obviously but def. not because of him.

100% agree with you, Dr. Grande, if only Kaitlyn didn't try to frame Adam, she'd have escaped justice. The LE was looking hard at Bill Yoder. When I first watched the documentary, I thought to myself, this is not manslaughter...it sounds like first degree murder to me. But since the victim's husband is not a likable character (he started dating his wife's sister so immediately after, there was that assumption he's been having an affair with her) and Adam definitely does not win Mr Congeniality contest (the Hulu show actually provides his voice messages berating Kaitlyn) and his bad relationship with Mary, people tend to want to blame those two...rather than...Lil' Miss Innocent. The trial focused mostly on how horrible these two men were, instead of the evidence, her lawyer did a great job, imo pushing the narrative since both Bill Yoder and Adam Yoder were unlikable characters.

I don't blame either one, tbf, but for me, it was a rather hilarious exchange on how these two seemed to be on totally different 'planes' of existence. LOL. Ashley Graham is young, so she probably just didn't get the reference. Plus, she's there as light entertainment, she's probably just requested to make sure they name the designer, promote the movie, etc, nothing too serious, just promoting/marketing purpose. But, as someone older, I kind of "get" Hugh Grant's feeling/grumpiness (and his reference), but being a veteran actor in the industry, he knew that he'd have to be dealing with frivolous chit-chat on the red carpet. ESPECIALLY if he attends. He doesn't have to attend (or maybe he signed something that made him have to attend lol), too, y'know. He can just sit his ass at home and not watch the Oscars.

I also was surprised.."rumors?" Not only with Korea, in WW2, yes, I'm referring to WW2 not to other instances in history, Japan also did this to other countries, i.e. China, Indonesia, etc. I happen to know some of them still want reparation and direct apology from the current government, a 'real acknowledgement not the iffy ones provided, it seems that Japanese government might apologize then the next set of government one would retract the apology, and wouldn't acknowledge/ consider it rumor.

Some are not happy with the portrayal, because Chani is created (in this movie) to be the stand-in of us audience not based her on the book character. A bunch of us KNOW what's going on from the missionari protectiva, the manipulations done by the BG from thousands of years ago in every planets (in this case Dune), trying to basically to create possibly a safe path for BG members and their family. The Lisan Al-Gaib legend being a religious tool and so on. In the book, the Fremen aren't stupid, but some of them were already immersed in the 'propaganda' by the BG planted millennia ago. Chani in the book, is a daughter of Liet (remember the planetologist in the first movie?), Chani and many Fremen dream of green-paradise on Dune, the dream Liet and Pardot brought to the Fremen decades back. And she's a believer in the Fremen religion, since she's trained to be a Sayyadina (reverend mother, yup, she'd likely have become one if Jessica fell). The movie Chani is a non-believer and mirrors all the audience's and book readers suspicion of the faux prophecy AND she also loves Dune as is. I can foresee her belonging to the faction rebelling against Paul in the next movie. I suppose I 'get' why the people find it hard to reconcile, what's going to happen to the love story between Chani and Paul seeing that she's fully against him. And won't it make her 'foolish' or really against her movie character to choose loving Paul and being with him despite knowing that Paul used her people, was becoming a tyrant and would be murdering billions of people?

Speaking of 'simp,' when I was growing up, my mother was telling me how we should not be overly cruel to men who are 'simps.' Because she said if you kept being overtly mean, you may end up with the 'simp.' And this actually came true. In HS, there was this boy who's thoroughly a 'simp' for my friend. He would just follow her around like a puppy and be super-duper accomodating/nice toward her, and she didn't like him that way, very openly refused him. She told everyone how she thought he was not attractive to her and she was very clear that she didn't like him. But he didn't give up. He was that person who just latched on and wouldn't let go. He even applied and got accepted to the same university as she did (which was a tad odd because her parents sent her to study abroad and he got so many options but he chose her university choice). Guess what, to everyone's shock, she actually got married to him, around ten years after we all graduated HS. They're still married now, they have 2 kids. Now they kind of rewrote their story, she would tell people (who don't know) that they were best friends from HS, which was totally so far from the truth.

I believe that Henry's 2 jousting accidents, the worse one in 1536, was the main cause of his personality change. I often heard accounts of younger Henry VIII, vivacious, learned, curious and all around a likable monarch then after the first accident in 1524 which caused him to have constant headaches until he died...he started to have an annulment from Catherine then the 2nd jousting accident....it ended with Anne's execution. As he went older, suffering from that open wound on his leg, gout, diabetes, obesity, the guy just got even worse.

@julesybethmedlini Sure, but that's due to him being careless: fingerprints, cellphone pinging, etc etc. I think he's the guy who gets his hands dirty, as in, he killed those children. He probably tried to kill Tammy but failed so Chad had to take that into his own hands. He's dead, and only his DNA left all over the murder. But I have zero doubt that Chad and Lori were involved. Alex wouldn't just murder the children without the Ok from his bosses. Since there's little DNA connection to Lori, this is why I'm a little scared the jury will let her off, since her case, imo, is harder to try than Chad.

Since EU has a more direct cause to not want Russia invasion, they should give more support if they want the war to continue. The mineral deal was to recoup billions of dollars US has given Ukraine in the last 3 years and possibly for the upcoming years, as the trade relation between Ukraine and US have been going downhill for years now. Having a direct interest/vested interest in Ukraine (making it one of US asset) will mean that US will defend its asset against future invasion. It's implied, not explicitly stated, of course. US is in a debt hole of 37 trillions, by the way, that's why they want a deal instead of just throwing billions upon billions without knowing when it's going to stop. As of now, Biden administration only sent 'just enough' (over a hundred of billions) the last 3 years to defend Ukraine, but not to beat Russia (Russia is a bigger country with nuclear power too)...EU have been doing the same thing, giving 'just enough' to Ukraine the last 3 years to fend off Russia... If they're that interested in protecting Ukraine for real, why didn't they invite Ukraine to EU?

Not all adoptions are bad. Some stories can turn bad while others are just great. I was a mentor to this young man, he was in a foster system due to abusive-neglectful-family and then a colleague of mine became his foster parent. Very troubled and my friend tried his best to be a good father to him, he even adopted him officially when he's 14. 4 years later, at 18, he attempted to kill my friend because he refused to give him money to buy drugs. Stabbed him 20 something times, luckily, 911 was called and my friend was saved. Adoptive son ended up in jail for a decade (he did plead guilty to attempted murder). On the other hand, my other colleague, she adopted 2 daughters from abroad, they grew up beautifully. No issue whatsoever, got full ride scholarships, excelled in study, successful now. So yeah, like every other thing, you never know what can happen...

I feel for you. My brother was in the same situation. She's insanely jealous, and easily angered. She's gorgeous thou, and very appealing to my brother that it was hard for me to watch him having a difficult time to break up with her. One day, she tried to proposition him for sex (putting her hand on his genital under the table, etc) when having dinner with HER family. He rejected her (but as discreetly as he could since his mother was in the same dining table). But she got so upset for the rejection, she started to yell at my brother in front of her mom. My brother made the mistake of screaming back at her and reacting. He decided to leave but his mistake was before he left he picked up one of the food boxes (the dinner was a takeout which my brother picked up) and pushed it to the floor, the leftover in that box fell on the floor. He went driving around to cool down b4 going home, when he got a call by the local PD that his (ex now) gf has called the police and claimed that he has put his hand on her by saying that the food that dropped to floor got on her feet. They asked him to go to the precinct, which he did and he was booked that night. It started then months of insanity, since he cut her off/break up with him. Then she threatened to kill him, and did so many crazy sh1t (stalking, trying to harm my brother, threats to unalive herself, hundreds of horrible texts, calls and voice mails from her part). We spent so much money $$ on lawyer and she wouldn't stop stalking him despite all the restraining orders (yes, she got a permanent one in fact). The charged were dropped but it was months of torture from her. My brother left the COUNTRY afterward to avoid her completely. It's years ago and he still wouldn't want to have any partner until today.

I think they expected her to "understand" the arrangement between Andrew-Camilla-Charles. That arrangement had been in place way before Charles even considered Diana as a potential spouse. Although Charles only admitted to having affair after 5 yrs of marriage to Diana after their divorce, in reality, he's never stopped seeing Camilla. Diana never had a "chance" with Charles. She also either foolishly or naively thought that Charles was sincere in his affection toward her. They (the Royal side as well as Diana's family) assumed that she would go along with the whole arrangement, she was after all "pressured" to go through with the wedding and kept up the facade of happy newly married couple (for at least a few years). They underestimated or overestimated her, because she couldn't deal with the extra-marital arrangement in place. Even when she did have her own lovers, she was still unhappy and she was cutting, purging.. so on. Although at least she did find happiness in her children and her work. It was good that she did get a divorce, she was finally free to pursue a real relationship (so did Charles actually--after all, he appeared to always have been in love with Camilla the most), unfortunately, Diana passed away as she did though...

IKR? I was like, she's trying to prevent him from entering the residence. Biiish, he's on the lease, she CAN NOT prevent him from entering, she's assaulting him even from that defense. ETA: He may not be paying for rent, or he may be a "leech" as many have accused him, but no way he deserved to have a knife jammed into his chest for that. SMH. The only people they need to convince of her innocence would be the jury, and if they're reading the comment section, holy crap, they need to not underestimate the public's intelligence. No matter how they tried to twist it, it's not going to look good at all for her defense. (SIGH)

From what I figure out, Scott was a friendly figure to her. He's charming and he worked with her at Walgreen, so they probably were chummy buddies in the beginning. He came across clean-cut, nice, etc in the beginning. Meanwhile, Darryl has been living and paying his rent for 2 years and yet, he's out of her way, as in, he's not close to Anita or attempt to befriend her. He's just her tenant, albeit a reliable one, but just a tenant, not a friend to her.

Omg. Nice to know that I'm living in the 'poor' side of town. East side represents! (LOL) I've only lived in Portland a little over a decade and I've always thought the North side was the one with more issues since they generally have gang violence in addition of homeless situation. My husband grew up in the East side and he seems to not find it to be the 'shitty' part of town. I'm sure he'll get irritated if I mention that to him. Just recent years, the East side has turned crappier with the houseless situation (so many camps popped up) and the 'defunding' of the police. Yeah, so many cars getting stolen, and catalytic converters thefts happen all the time, windows getting broken etc. In fact, my BIL had 1 car and a truck stolen, and the police just straight up told him that, if they found it, great, but don't expect much. Literally said to not hold our breath, it's like, oh well. And when someone's house got broken into, it took the police to show around 2-3 hours later. They do show up faster if there are gunshots...ETA: The North side these days have gone through many gentrification, I've seen many photos of really nice houses there now. During the daytime hours, I don't think the "scary" part of town look scary at all, honestly. I also have the same reaction when I drove around those areas in the past, but I guess, the bad things start happening in the evening hours...

I'm not surprised the tourists didn't leave tips, as you probably already know they don't do tips in Japan. They even consider it rather an 'insult' if you tip in Japan...although if it's in a tourist group, I think tourist guide should tell them it's mandatory. Not customary. And some restaurants, imo, should just put mandatory tip of 20% to begin with esp. if there are more than 6 people in the group. Where I came from, the same as Japan..no tipping whatsoever and when I learned English, we didn't even get taught about the norm of tipping so I'm sure I was probably annoying a lot of waiters/waitresses in the first 3-6 months of living in US. When I first realized the custom (some local friends clued me in when she took me out eating), I felt very awkward, as it was foreign concept. I remember thinking how do I tip them? Where do I put the tip, etc, do I have to hunt down the waiters/waitresses that took care of me, what if there are 2 different waiters? Do I insult them when I just hand them the cash (tip)? Do they prefer cash or just add the tip in the card? Etc. I started to tip, at first only 10% (b/c I thought, again, my local friends suggested to do that to me). Now I've been here for more than 2 decades, I've even worked as a waitress once then have a bff who is one currently, I know more about how much they're getting paid and how important it is to tip them....I start at 20% tip every time, even when the service was not exactly 'good.'

The original story was she lied on the dating app about her age. The previous judge also was condemning him because of the hook-up culture, the judge should know too that it takes two for hook-up culture to exist. The whole story just irks me. Sure, he may have been taken off the list, but the fact is once he's in the system (he's been in jail for 90 days due to this), it's not going to be erased from his record despite innocence/reversal of sentence/etc. I know because a good friend of mine was taken in by police for a false accusation, then released and the whole thing was thrown out (no trial etc), but still, when he applied for job, it showed up that he had been arrested in his record. They said, they're willing to take that off but we'd have to go through court, pay fees, etc, so much BS.

I didn't listen to Joe Rogan's interview until late (until Rogan endorsed Trump). And I was never a 'Trumper,' and mainly have remained apolitical. I've heard many badmouthing of Trump on the normal TV shows/news, etc so it's really hard for me to like him. Pre-him running for president, he barely had my notice, although I knew he was this wealthy guy who had a reality tv show once upon a time....but after watching/listening to Joe Rogan's interview of Trump (all 3 hours of it). While yes, he can get kind of irritating (saying he's so great, etc), most of it, I'd say 90% of it, I find him funny and personable. Heck, even likable. He doesn't sound like such a horrible guy after all, outside the soundbites they looped on tv. So yeah, I don't feel afraid when he did win the White House. He is one resilient and hardworking guy, I'd say, he may just do good this time (hopefully) in office.

@HailMichael Not all American kids are devoid of manners. But they're encouraged to 'speak out' and be 'truthful' and sometimes that can come across as 'crass' as they're more blunt. As for selflessness, that's another thing, some may be more selfless, some may be more selfish. But sense of familial ties are very different here in US. They don't have the same family ties compared to those living in Asia. Many of them also can work and have worked from young age and go to school at the same time.The difference is, as much as they complain about public school system here in US, every children generally get to go to school, attendance is very important (but whether the students get good grades or fail their classes is really up to their efforts and home situation). And they also encourage parents to 'donate' to community school items (some for their own kids and some are given to those who can't afford it). Public school = free because we, property owners, pay 80% of our property tax into it --in our state. This young woman, if she's in US, she will be able to keep going to school and possibly take a part time job (many usually enter one of those fast food joints or work at retails)...she doesn't have to 'give up' her education for her younger sibling. I hope she's doing ok.

I wish they'd show more of the storyline, the cultural nuances of Fremen v. Caladan and so on, tell more about the factions but it's ok the way it is. I enjoyed it, although first viewing, I gotta say I was a little bit disappointed with how they adapted the book, but after thinking about it and rewatching it two more times, I gotta say, yeah, I understand why they had to cut out so many scenes (it's insane how many scenes they filmed but cut out from the movie--scenes that are pivotal too in the book), they need to focus on something and they manage to adapt it pretty well, imo. I can't wait for the 2nd one. I hope it won't disappoint.

This is so informative. I agree with the pack mentality part of it. I remember in HS, feeling uncomfortable but unable to assert my discomfort when my 'good' friend targeted this poor girl outside my group (to be fair, I belonged to this big group of girls who were...kind of stereotypical 'popular girls' if you want to look at those movie tropes) sure this girl was acting a little different than us and she really REALLY wanted to be friends with us, then my good friend started gossiping about this girl's being pregnant, etc because she has a pooch belly (then the poor girl was basically ostracized, people talked behind her back, etc)...I remember too in my senior year, arguing with the same friend and she managed to alienate me, targeting me... when I remember what she did toward me (part of the reason she was mad at me was because her big brother asked me out on a date and I agreed to one date)-it was scary af, even illegal, I'd say- and my friends from that group drifted away from me. Sure, in the end, we made up and my friends group basically 'embraced' me again (after I basically told that particular 'friend' I was not interested in her brother) but I still felt until today that I never quite trusted her and I just stopped being her friend and stopped contact with that friends group after HS.

I'm going to guess that the owner of the rental property/house just wants to get out from under it (or need money) so that's why they want to just demolish and sell/rent out or rebuilt then sell/rent out. I mean, okay, this happened from last year, at least 9-10 months ago, no one has occupied the house, but the owner of the property has to keep paying the mortgage monthly and the property tax on a 'dead' property, they can't live there, no can do to selling/renting it out. It's good and dandy to not demolish the property before the trial is over but who's going to keep paying a property you can't use? Do you just let it go to foreclosure and screw up your credit? What if you're not part of the 1 percenter and can't afford to keep up paying the mortgage and property tax (plus insurance) so having this house is like money pit or some sort? I can kind of understand why the owner of the property wants to move on immediately to recoup any financial loss they have. If they don't want the house to be demolished, they probably should either purchase the property or pay the mortgage and tax and insurance for it until the trial is over....ETA: Oh so the house belongs to the University now, like the previous owner, the university is not in the business of losing $$. They're all about making $$, so I'm not surprised they want to move the property quickly.
