I bet in thirty years I'm going to be, like, a reactionary RETVRNnik chud for Teflon pans. For a brief shining era we had nonstick pans that actually worked... look at what the deep state took from us..... the ancestral state of the human ape is to have our brains full of PFAS micro particles......

What she says: I’m fine

What she means: In Legally Blonde, Elle only gets accepted because she’s hot and sent a video, but she had a 4.0 and got a 179 (out of 180) on her LSATS. Sure, her major was in Fashion Merchandising but that’s a business major, and the fake school she was at was supposed to be UCLA so she had a business degree from a major college, probably went to a great high school, had a 4.0, and a 179 on the LSATS and at that point she would have been automatically accepted so why did they make it sound like she was such a bad risk? She even had leadership experience as president of a major chapter of what is apparently a huge sorority, since Delta Nus are shown as everything from cheerleaders to senators. Harvard should have been desperate to take her. She should have been able to get in if she turned in a cocktail napkin with her name written on it. So why make up the bullshit excuse of “multiculturalism” to justify letting in an extremely qualified and highly driven candidate just for laughs? Elle Woods deserved to go to Harvard and she earned that place with academic excellence and not by being hot.

I feel like that was kind of the point - that by any sane reckoning, she should have gotten in. She was demonstrating hard work, intelligence, creativity, and any other possible skill you could want, but because she was a woman and not a “serious” woman who dressed conservatively, her appearance and her interests went against her unless she capitalized on them. The only way she could prevent her appearance and interests from harming her chances was to flaunt them.

[diracpointless]

Exactly the whole thesis of Legally Blonde is people not taking Elle seriously and her making them take her seriously without changing anything about herself.

Interestingly, Legally Blonde is one of the few films where the protagonist doesn’t have an arc, all the other characters do.

[diracpointless]

I’m still right about this.

everyone knows that space is very very cold, and the sun is very very hot. so i assume there's a bit of space kind of near the sun which is just right. balmy space

Yes, that’s. That’s where we are.

haters do not want you to know this but if you pick up something heavy every day it will eventually stop being quite as heavy. this is because the heavy thing, having witnessed your dedication, begins to yield its essence to you. and you, in turn, begin to absorb that essence into your own being. this is what makes people strong. the more essence you absorb, the stronger you become, and the more respect you command from the world around you.
