Stuff I saw on the internet last week: "Everyone pays taxes to Dolly Parton and she just kind of takes it from there"
It’s Monday yet again, so let’s take a look at some cool stuff I saw on the internet last week. And if you’re American, please don’t visit family or let family visit for Thanksgiving. It’ll be fine. Just stay home, everyone.

If you appreciate my newsletter and the work that goes into it, pitching in a few bucks for a paid subscription helps keep it going. It’s $5 a month or $50 a year, and those paying subscribers get to read bonus content I put out several times a month! Last Friday, I put out a bonus Tumblr roundup that included a post about “Satan and his Gucci gang.” If that sounds like something you want to find out more about, click below to support your local pop culture bum.
On last week’s episode of I Hate It But I Love It, Jocelyn and I continued Listener Request Month with a discussion about Coyote Ugly, the most 2000s movie ever about the worst bar that’s ever existed, and how the real-life bar was even worse than the movie version.You should subscribe, if you wanna be cool!

TWEETS!

You’re choosing your sister’s STALKER over YOUR SISTER:
She broke up with him because Mike cheated on her. Mike became a bit of a stalker and did things and she got a restraining order against him. I was angry at Mike, BUT when I went to university his brother was in my class and we fell in love.
Anyways when we were discussing who should come my fiancé said he wanted his brother. Brad said it’s because he’s very close with Mike and also Mike saved his life. Brad wants Mike to be there to see him progress even further in life. Brad teared up a bit (he isn’t an emotional guy) and said he’s sorry but he’s choosing Mike over Leah.
I’m very close with Leah, but Brad is my future husband so he kind of takes priority.
holy shit you fucking asshole:
My SIL is constantly insulting my wife to me, telling me that she is a w****, among other sexist insults. Honestly I always just ignore it. My wife hates it. She doesn’t understand why I can’t just tell her to stop. She sees it as me going along or “laughing off” what my SIL is saying. Frankly I just don’t want involved. There has been multiple times where this has happened with different people, my boss making sexual comments about her, etc. but I always ignore it because I really don’t want to start some sort of conflict, she knows this. But I guess she’s finally at her breaking point with it and she wants me to start doing something. I dont know what she expects from me. What am I supposed to do? Start fighting people for her honor or something? AITA for not defending her? Or is she just being over dramatic?
I love that there’s a whole subreddit about cats faceplanting, like this one:
I have no idea what this person was trying to accomplish here:
She then asked me if i thought that way about our relationship. I kind of said “well technically i do pay all the bills so in that sense yes. If i was that kind of person id have the power in this relationship.” And she said something like “well what if i just leave”. And this is where i may be an asshole, i laughed and kind of sarcastically said “Oh yeah, with what money. How would u get 500mi away” and she stuttered a bit before saying shed ask her mom to send cash for train ticket. “Ok and what if i just hid the mailbox key” and she kind of stuttered before she said “are you trying to make me sad?” Tears were flowing down her face and she left the room.
I always like to see an update where the person broke up with an asshole:
He cried the whole time and was very sad about it all, but couldn't accept that this was really due to his actions and/or lack of them, but that I wanted too much in a relationship and I should work on myself for that according to him. I actually didn't cry anymore and haven't since saying the final goodbye.
The reason why he didn't get me a birthday present was also that he didn't think I should always get things my way. He would have been happy for me to just be there for his birthday, so I should be happy too with him being there.
