"Warmest regards!!!"
Oh, hey! Didn’t see you there. This? This is just a bunch of internet stuff I saw last week. Would you like to see it? You would? Excellent.
It’s erotic thriller month on I Hate It But I Love It
All this month on our podcast, Jocelyn and I are discussing erotic thrillers and their weird moralizing. Last week, we laughed and laughed about the ending of the Jennifer Lopez movie The Boy Next Door (hint: there’s an anvil), and this week we’re looking at the woefully misguided Michael Douglas/Demi Moore thriller Disclosure. You should subscribe, if you wanna be cool! (You can find I Hate It But I Love It in all the usual places, including Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, and Pocket Casts.)
Think about getting a paid subscription to Stuff I Saw On The Internet
Paid subscribers get bonus issues of internet stuff — like this one I published yesterday! It’s just $5 a month, or $30 a year, which is six months free. And it’s also a way to show your support of the work I put into this newsletter! So that’d be nice. Click below!
TWEETS!
REDDIT!
This man was thoroughly and deservedly labeled The Asshole in the comments, which he accepts:
So we have two living areas, the basement living area and the main floor living room. I figured my wife would want to take priority over the main floor, so I said that she could design the main floor living room the way she would like as well as the master bedroom, but I wanted to design the basement living area the way that I want.
A saga of a woman who refuses to understand why her fiancé refuses to talk to his abusive, estranged parents:
My brother Sam started dating his Ex 3 years ago, she has heard all the stories and the reasons we are NC but she believes we are just dramatic. They had many issues due to her opinions but she eventually seemed to drop the “you need to reconcile with your Mother“ crusade. During the wedding planning there was no indication of things going wrong or fishy, then we got to the church and lo and behold Mom, HB and 2 kids were sitting at front. I immediately panicked and called my brothers. Sam thought maybe somehow she found out and wanted to crash so he called his Ex to let her know of the potential drama but she told him it was fine since she invited them
This makes me cringe so, so hard:
We all opened gifts on Christmas Eve. One of my SILs got a fur coat, the other an air fryer she really wanted, etc. When it came to my turn, Dave handed me his phone. I looked and thought I was going to see a track package page for the bag. Instead, all I saw was an art picture of a monkey that was suppose to look like me.
I asked him what this was, and he said that was my gift! He then started explaining to me how he had gotten into investing earlier this year and had saved up to by it for me. He then showed his family who were just as flabbergasted as I was. I asked him how much money did he "invest" in this. He said 8k.
If you ask me to choose between you and my cat, I am choosing my cat 100% of the time:
He says Crumb is dirty (he is inside only and I brush him every day) and even letting him sleep in the bedroom is gross and gets fur everywhere (it doesn’t, but Kyle isn’t even allergic so). I told him that I put the toothbrush away, but he told me that I took it as a joke and didn’t punish Crumb. I tried to explain that you can’t punish cats (nor would I want to in this scenario), but he wouldn’t hear it. He then went on to say that me kissing Crumb is disgusting, especially his face, and he wouldn’t ever kiss me if I kissed Crumb again. He asked me to put Crumb outside the room when he is over, or lock him in a “crate.”
So I said, “okay bye.” Not only is Crumb 10000x more important to me, but I laughed in Kyle’s face about never kissing my cat again/keeping him locked.
And here’s a great (unrelated) photo titled The view from my husband’s dinner plate:
