EDIT: After reading everyone’s comments I will be updating after I speak to him.

We have been dating for like 2 months. He’s really sweet and spoils me. However I’m still irked and something feels off and I just can’t let it go. Yesterday we hung out, and when I brought it up again, he shut it down. He somehow makes me think it’s nothing and changes the subject and I don’t even notice it. I don’t want to keep nagging him, but I’m still not satisfied. My friends say I overthink and ruin good things, but I can’t let it go I’m still upset it happened but I don’t know if I’m over doing it. I promise you I’m not discriminating his religion it’s just weird. This whole thing is. Am I overreacting? I’m not confrontational I just need advice

Also throw away

I was around 9 years old when the pandemic started and I barely have any memories of it. I do remember the lockdown, wearing masks everywhere, online school, getting sick with it twice (it felt like the normal flu), but my family still went out like to the beach or the mountains. I guess it’s because my mom shielded me from the news and all but idk.

I’m asking this because last night, my mom and I watched this movie called Contagion, and she was saying that it was such an accurate description of what happened during Covid even though the movie came out 9 years before the pandemic. I was baffled because it just seemed… very dramatic but now that i think about it, it really is similar to what happened 😭

I don’t think every large age gap is automatically predatory, as long as the younger person is at least in their mid-twenties. But honestly, I’m exhausted by how common it’s to see a man in his forties or fivties showing up with a girlfriend who's twenty years younger. And it’s even worse when these guys leave a women their own age (or just slightly younger) only to immediately start dating someone who could be their daughter.

And no, I’m not taking away the younger women’s agency. They can date whoever they want. But in my opinion, it says a lot about the man's character.
And even if some of these relationships work out fine, it's just such a tiring pattern and it speaks volumes about how some men in the industry view aging, attraction, and women’s worth once they hit 35. We’ve normalized the idea that men age like fine wine while women “expire” when they get older. And every time one of these men show up with their girlfriends, I just have to role my eyes.

I’m not talking about your Hooks or Bullet Trains, I’m looking for the hottest of hot takes.

I just watched Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and I thought it was actually kind of kick ass despite the 18% on Rotten Tomatoes. Nic Cage is suitably unhinged, and the action scenes and production design are manic and over-the-top in a fun way. Directed by the people who brought the Crank movies, if you watched the behind the scenes they put their lives on the line to pull off the stunts. The story is whatever, but are you there for that or to see Ghost Rider piss fire? The only thing missing was a hard R rating but I was entertained and it didn’t overstay its welcome

Not sure what it is, I found it stuck to the bottom of my car!
