E as pessoas ainda me perguntam o porque deu odiar a Vacallotti. Cara, é simples. Antes do Thur começar a "namorar" com ela, ele tinha a ficha super limpa, nunca saia notas sobre ele desse tipo. Quando ele tava com a Luinha os jornais e afins só elogiavam o casal, nunca saia nota de briga, e quando havia algum boato eles nem se manifestavam porque sabiam que era mentira. Agora esse namoro/marketing/palhaçada/idiotice dele com a Giovacca só recebem criticas ruins, sempre saem notas horriveis sobre eles. E o pior de tudo Arthur nem é reconhecido pelo seu trabalho/talento ele é reconhecido por namorar uma atriz da globo que já fez cenas peladas numa minissérie. Ah façam-me o favor né!

Surveys mansplained

I was working the window at a fast-food joint that had surveys you could take; once you filled it out online, you’d get a number code that could be traded for a free drink. After I handed him his order, one man asked about it. “Isn’t there a phone number you could call instead?” he asked.

I said, “No, sorry, it’s just online.”

He gave me a weird look and then said, “Why don’t you go find your manager, honey, ask him if there’s a phone number I can call.”

My manager, Danielle, assured me it was only online. I told the customer as such, and he became angry. 

“Well, that’s just stupid,” he said. “I don’t have internet. I’m not going to go out and buy a computer just because that’s what’s in fashion right now. I want to call a phone number.”

I was astounded, and I didn’t know what else to say other than to repeat dumbly, “I’m sorry. It’s just online.”

“Well, good luck getting people to fill it out, then!” he laughed. “Internet surveys are scams, everyone knows that! The only way to do a real business survey is over the phone like everyone else!”

“The fashion, beauty and cosmetics industries have no interest in improving women’s body image. Playing on women’s insecurities to create a buzz and push products is an old trick but there’s a cynical new trend in advertising that peddles distressing stereotypes with one hand and ways to combat that distress with the other. We’re not like all the rest, it whispers. We think you’re pretty just as you are. Now buy our skin grease and smile. The message, either way, is that before we can be happy, women have to feel “beautiful”, which preferably starts with being “beautiful”.”

I don’t want to be told I’m pretty as I am - I want to live in a world where that’s irrelevant
