Stuff I saw on the internet last week: "Or does he just like chocolate and come from family money?"
Happy Monday! Yes, I watched the Snyder Cut over the weekend (what else did I have to do?), and no, I won’t be writing about it. But I also looked at a bunch of internet stuff! Let’s look at that.

On last week’s episode of I Hate It But I Love It, Jocelyn and I continued Action Movie Month by discussing Fast Five (the best of the Fast & Furious movies, IMO). This Wednesday’s episode will be about Timecop, and I think it’s one of the best episodes we’ve done. You should subscribe, if you wanna be cool.

TWEETS!

The way this guy talks about his wife is NOT GREAT, and then he mocks her for feeling bad about the way she looks:
Then the other shoe drops when the two of us decide to go do some quick shopping. My wife went to pay for the stuff and then the clerk assumed she qualified for the senior discount.
My wife said blankly that she’s still in her forties and after paying for the stuff we walked to our car and she quickly got in, closed the door, and started bawling in the car.
I kind of laughed and said that if I were in her position I would have gladly just accepted the senior discount as again it’s not like money grows on trees for us.
Ugh, dudes who think like this are the fucking worst — dump his ass:
A while ago I was having a conversation with him about meditation because I brought up the fact that I wanted to try it out to help better my mental health. He said he didn't like meditation, I asked why, and then he started ripping into it saying that it was illogical and that it was romanticizing the action of "sitting and thinking". This sparked a little debate and I gave my point on why I thought it was worth giving a try but my voice was drowned out by his logic apparently.
At the end of the conversation I apologized for arguing an illogical stance and he laughed and said that "it's okay, you defend the illogical better than most!" with a smile and then the conversation ended.

My wife and I hosted last friday's get together. The new neighbors showed up. So did the rest. Anyways. After dinner I complimented my new neighbor's wife's dress. I looked at my wife and told her that I really liked it and she should get a similar one since it looked great. My wife gave me a look and everyone stared at me for a minute. I honestly had no idea who was hurt by what I said and wether it was wrong or not.
How bats pee.
I love this post so, so much: Will my husband divorce me if I dehydrate tomatoes in his F-150 truck?
I impulse bought a $3 case of tomatoes to dehydrate. Also, my daughter who lives 6 hours away is about to give birth any day and wants us to drop everything and drive there when she goes into labor, to watch her preschooler while she's in the hospital.
If I start the tomatoes and we get the call before they're done, in theory I could move the dehydrator to the truck and run it on an inverter while we drive. Would hotboxing the concentrated tomato fumes kill us or the parrot who has to ride with us? Would the smell stay in his nice truck forever, in the upholstery and the air system, leaving me with beautiful dried tomatoes but a failed marriage?
This guy unsurprisingly deleted his original post:
She showed me the roots of her hair, which were hidden right at the very top, and told me she wasn’t a natural redhead and thought I would have realized by now. The color of her roots is a dusty brown color that I don’t find attractive at all.
I may have overreacted, but I flipped out. I asked her why she had lied to me, and she said she had never claimed to be naturally redheaded. She knew about my attraction to redheads, but said she figured it wasn’t that big of a deal. Her eyebrows (even though I now realize that they’re brown) blend in really well with the hair, and I like it shaved “down there,” so I never noticed that her natural hair color was brown. I said she should have told me, and she said she saw no reason to.
We haven’t spoken since the argument and I’m considering breaking up with her over this.
