So the reason is 'a specific director wanted to know for actors'. Not exactly 'everyone'.

@kattt yeah I found that as well! And it asks you to pay for various other options up to $60 while having a tiny 'no thanks' button. Not good! 

I feel like people are missing the fact that the HP books were written almost 30 years ago. Although JKR has continued to be a public figure, those books are a product of their time. The books can't be criticised for not endorsing ideas that weren't common at the time. While public awareness of minority rights has changed in the intervening 30 years, you can't blame the books for reflecting what was common opinion in the 90s. Also, interpretations like 'the goblins are anti-Semitic' are massively racist projections, perhaps shown in the films but certainly not in the books. If you need to change so much of the content, maybe just make a different, original show? 

I think Anne looks the same as usual, she is just doing her makeup a bit differently than she has in the past (more of a 'Instagram' makeup look). Hilary looks like she has just lost a bit of fullness in her cheeks, which is natural as you get older. I think they both look gorgeous!

Thank you for this. There are some comments that irk because they seem dismissive of all the effort that you have out in. 'Resilient' is one. I also get 'virtuous' about my now-changed lifestyle habits. As in 'you're so virtuous, I could never'. Well the thing with virtue is, it's not a natural aspect. It's a conscious decision made every day about your choices and behaviours that anyone can train themselves to do, you're just lazy. Same with resilience. It's a conscious behaviour that you are doing in response to really difficult life situations, and to say you *just* are 'resilient' is so dismissive of all the effort and hard work you have put in. I would much rather people acknowledged that 'you have been through so much sh*t and you have dealt with it so well, it is admirable how strong and brave you are'. 

I think this is just a consequence of working in the media and consuming only pop culture content, most people really do not care this much about wrinkles.

As a social worker, Paul's behaviour is a HUGE red flag. He says he has never done it before, Carina says the last 4 weeks have been perfect or whatever...but look, if *the very first time* you have a significant disagreement, that is his reaction, that is DANGEROUS. That is his anger go-to and he will not get any better, he will only get5 worse

Morena and Tony are a nightmare, because, while I understand completely why Morena reacted the way she did, at the same time, Tony was completely respectful and reasonable in his apology and attempt to explain his point of view. I think the older couples just have too much baggage from 20-30 years of previous relationships to ever work

As someone with endometriosis whose early teen years were absolute hell on earth (extremely irregular, heavy and painful periods, fainting, pain to point of vomiting, days off school), I have thankfully been on the Pill for over half my life and do not know how I would have coped with life otherwise. It's invaluable for alleviating conditions like this.

So within 6 months of her sons going no contact because she needs to work on herself, she has become a 'life coach' and is 'helping' others? How does she think that is enough time to resolve her own issues, let alone influence others? If you were in AA, you wouldn't pick a sponsor with less than 6 months' sobriety. Sounds irresponsible to me.

All this shows is you should never follow 'eyebrow trends'. The best look for your eyebrows is a groomed version of your natural shape.

The historical pedant in me is immediately drawn to the fact that, although Pedro Pascal looks fantastic with a moustache, he wouldn't have had one, Romans didn't have moustaches as that was a thing the barbarian Gauls did.

I agree with you, the objection to the word 'flattering' is just another case of people in the fat-activist space getting unreasonably upset and feeling victimised about something that actually applies to all people. Finding flattering clothes is something each person has to manage, whether it be big boobs, small boobs, short legs, big feet...everyone has bodily quirks that can be dressed more flatteringly in some ways than others. It's literally like finding the colours that suit you, it's not a negative thing to be upset over at all!

@mamamia-user-482898552 also the ubiquity of procedures in Gen Z (as well as the earlier age)! Seems like everyone younger has at least their lips done, even if they are not an influencer and work at the supermarket, it's become as common as dyeing your hair. For even Millennials, as well as older generations, procedures were very much a celebrity or rich person only-type thing, the average Millennial did not have anything done throughout their 20s and sees no reason to start now they're older

I already pulled off those trackies...in Grade 4 😂

It's misogyny-based bullying of someone 'different'. Angelina has said herself that she's not a very likeable person and doesn't have many friends. This doesn't make her a bad person! She seems like a wonderful, caring mother, people don't like her because she doesn't play the smiley Hollywood girlie game. The children are adults and clearly making informed choices for themselves. Public commentary on this kind of deeply private matter is so misplaced.

Is writing 'Mrs & Mr' a micro-feminist act if the couple are sharing the man's name already?

If you're feeling shamed and bullied by people 15 years younger than you for being 'unfashionable', that's a you problem. Part of growing up is realising that you can live your own life and not try to keep up with the trends of 20-year olds. I'm a Millennial and I wear what I like, I don't care if Gen Z thinks I'm 'uncool' because they're babies and have no bearing on my life. At 35, I'm my own person, I know what I like and see nothing wrong with that.

This is a very 'small talk' form of conversation. Do people not have discussions about ideas, or unpacking things in depth anymore? One of the best things in conversation is when you are challenged to form a completely new thought or viewpoint in response to questions being asked. 

I feel like having 'unhappiness leave' as a specific category is treading dangerous ground, I foresee employers demanding to know the specifics of what this 'unhappiness' is before leave is approved. It's an intrusion into people's personal lives. People should not have to provide details of their personal lives to employers when requesting leave, it should just be personal leave.
