    As for her husband paying for the uber, I assume that like every couple I know, they take turns to pay for things.

    But why am I spoiling the fun of people with vivid imaginations - sorry. :cool:

    How dare you presume that just because a woman and a non-woman go on a trip together, that they conform to those medeival terms and standards enforced by millenia of male dominance! And the non-woman paid - the gender pay-gap is real and in force, when a strong, rich, independent woman like LON is skimping out on a taxi. Oppressed!

    Not her husband-she's not married...

    I doubt she's split the bill--pay gap, remember?

    I censored it-was meant to say 'cuck' but thought it was too mean, and stupid to use that work.

    Then I looked back and was like 'oh dammnit, they'll think I meant something else, and that the comment was towards Lon'...:eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Not related, but I laughed at the opening line of this article-isn't that what all third wavers have become? Why's Swift any different?

    I feel sorry for those on the plane seeing her throw a tantrum and demanding her mother to sort it out

    She's too high brow :pac:

    I cannot stand LON but at least she doesn't sound like a bag of cats fighting.

    Or maybe she does. I don't know what to think anymore. Don't make me chose between two harpies.

    What do you mean, "a bag of cats fighting"?

    Put three cats in a bag*

    Seal it up.

    The ensuing sound is identical to Laura Whitmore when she talks/shouts on television.

    Put on a video of paint drying

    Watch it for two hours straight

    The ensuing depiction is identical to Louise O'Neill and the constant changing of the thread title.

    Laura never left MTV, she just stopped doing news bulletins for them.

    In relation to her much-hyped recent change-of-job status with MTV, she says: "People were like, 'Oh, Laura's left MTV.' I never left MTV. I left MTV News [in February of this year]."

    https://independent.ie/style/celebrity/celebrity-features/laura-whitmore-ive-nev

    And it specifically says in that article you posted that she would still work for them on a reduced basis.

    A more awesome/woke version of Laura Whitmore.

    Probably because she's not a TV presenter.
