Me and my girlfiend finally watched the films and we were both suprised at how tame they were, we expected it to be a lot spicer and edgier than it was. Also I didn’t expect Christian grey to be as likable as he was, I kept waiting for him to do something really fucked up or try to lock her up and keep her From leaving but no he was Mr consent all he way and the whole series he’s protecting her.
I worked at Blockbuster when Secretary came out so, of course I watched it.
Then 20 years later everyone is going bananas over these “50 Shades” books & so I asked a female friend what they were about. She tells me & I’m like “Oh… you mean Secretary with Maggie Gyllenhaal?” I was met with blank stares & confusion. The more & more I heard about these books, the more I couldn’t understand why this writer was getting so much praise for an obvious & blatant rip off.
Guess it’s that whole “good artists create, great artists steal” thing I’ve always heard about. Either way, whenever those books/movies come up, I just always tell people “Go watch the original. It’s called Secretary. It’s way better, I promise.”
Yeah, the books aren’t any worse, just badly written. Christian is traumatized, a victim of SA, and needs therapy but I would love to see some of his critics read a real dark romance.
My girlfriend was away on work when I decided to give it a watch. The first episode I was like “what the actual fuck, hopefully episode 2 expands on this and gives a happy ending”. It did not. I remember her vividly needing a hug and her being gone at the time. 😂😂😭😭
I believe it’s the exact opposite. You’re trying to tell me that those dogs in that one episode were not already in development before that episode came out? That episode about the social credit score… I had heard that discussed well before the show came out. Feel free to look into predictive programming a little bit more and you might find some eerie uncomfortable things about it.
Edit: btw the great uncle of a co-founder of netflix was edward bernays, who literally wrote the book on Propaganda. Worth looking at
That show is proving to be a more literal warning of things to come than I anticipated. I'm just hoping I'm not stuck in a box for what feels like eternity.
I'm early 40 years old now. My job often has me working with people 20 years younger than me. I overheard a (lighthearted) argument between two youngsters and one of the insults or qualifiers was "How many followers you got?". I think all the old heads at the table instantly derailed their conversation to tell them both that they're idiots if that's how they measure worth. Whatever it was they were arguing about, it was as if whichever one had more followers was somehow wiser or had more authority over the other. It was fucking stupid.
Kids do, teenagers do. They think Random People
Liking, following, commenting gives them

A bunch of ppl who don’t know nor care about you at all. They just see 1:1000 of who they truly are, what they allow the world
To see, fake as plastic.
It’s a sad state the world is in with the newer generation from social media. People needing and craving validation from complete strangers, desperate lonely men/women,weirdos, losers, normal
People, bored people - none who actually know
You.
It is. She literally posted a story saying its all bs, dared people to bring proof, and the guy she supposedly "cheated on" still has her on his ig in what seems like a friend group photo dump and still follows her. People literally ignored the rest of the friend group, cherry picked one picture they have together where they might be mistaken for a couple and ran with this story.
What a waste of everyone's fucking time. I'm not shocked because we've been here before. Decade after decade, you just wait, and its always the right wing shit that turned out to be bullshit hysterics for crying little bitches.
Cycling make women unseemly, and makes them have "bicycle face" that makes them infertile.

Not only her (because people will say of course she's not going to admit it), he hinself has said it's bs. He even explained how he met her: Ines' male best friend was Gonzalo's (the guy on the photo) flatmate about two years ago. And seriously, not only it is true that the photo is there with many other photos with his firiends, but also, the comment looks just like thousands of posts Spanish teens and young adults post about dear friends when they post some photo together. My nieces would be dating 478283 people every month if a comment with hearts or calling their friends "dear", "babe", "sweetheart" was proof of dating.
But calling women gold diggers never gets old and adding a fake story behind it is some weirdos hobby, apparently.
Many people in general are shallow, those that are trying to frame it as just a thing women do are absolutely trying to push some misogynistic nonsense
She gained nearly 3 million followers after the World Cup win, and now people are digging through her old social media posts. Apparently, she’s extremely right wing, she supports Vox, opposes to immigration, and she said some racist shit in the past. People have also have also dug up posts she made about Lamine Yamal’s ex-girlfriend while they were dating, where she said the ex wouldn’t be with him if it weren’t for his money. people online call her out and call her a gold digger. I see he’s always with a different girl in every tournament. At least she’ll get the clout lol
The good news is that this is completely made up. She’s been dating the soccer player since January or so. And there was no previous 5 year relationship or anything even approaching that. She didn’t leave anyone to be with him either.
Aren't they both young? Like, he's 18? 19? My guess is she's of similar age. Even if it was true she had a 5 yr relationship before him, that would mean it began when she was 14, 15, 16... It's not crazy a relationship that started as young teens won't last into adulthood.
Hey at one point American whites treated the Irish as inferior minorities cause guess they are too god damn white? It’s almost like no race is superior and hate destroys us all. Except me and my people of course
theres really only two groups. The in-group and the out-group. And people on tne fringes of the in-group hate the out-group the most.
There are microcosms of racial hierarchies all through the world that are huge deal in that region but laughable from the outside. Anything to feel special i guess.
It's not racism, it's casteism. Skin colour is a very small factor in our caste hierarchy. A very dark brahmin will still be considered superior to a very pale dalit. Although it's on decline, but this system still exists.
Keep in mind India is like... the racist post-apocalypse. It's a world where everybody is basically the same race because all the racial groups have blended together over millennia, but each family still remembers what race they're SUPPOSED to be.
she came out and publicly said those accounts are fake and not hers, and all these stories you are spreading aren't true. the fact you are still spreading them says more about you, than her.
None of this is real. Fucking morons jump on any Twitter rumor. I dont know who any of these people are and it took 2 minutes to Google that this is a made up story
I don´t know why you are surprised, you saw the argentinan hate campaigns? This World Cup is really showing just how easy is to make shit up and people will just change and sway their opinion
You say that but in reality she is now with a multimillionaire celebrity living her dream.. life is a cruel place, there is no good outcome for the ex in this situation.
Except this entire timeline was completely made up by fake accounts. Inés already addressed this on IG. she didn't dump a 5-year boyfriend in 2 weeks. She and Lamine have known each other for nearly 3 years and met on social media long before they went public in May. Don't believe everything you see on a random X screenshot.
Second time I’m answering trying to provide factual context to this fake story in a week
Also no one seems to realize she’s only 21 meaning even if the last relationship was real she at the oldest was only 16 when it started, how many people end up with the person they dated at 16?
Hasn't this been disproven multiple times now and it's 2 separate girls that look the exact same? I get this is engagement bait, but it's been shot down on Reddit at least a half dozen times new. Need new bait
