Devoted girlfriend would have said 'yes' if her BF had proposed any other way but with a spreadsheet.

0
0

Redditor marrymonay recently received an offer of marriage from her gentleman suitor of over three years. Instead of being a joyous moment, marrymonay has found herself in emotional turmoil because her boyfriend's proposal was terrible, and the dude can't understand why.

Humans.

In marrymonay's words:

We've been together for 3.5 great years. We've frequently discussed marriage, timelines, and future plans. We live in a home together, have moved across the country together, ect. He is the person I plan to spend my life with. He knows I don't like surprises, so I never expected a big proposal or anything.

But, the way he has gone about it has hurt my feelings.

Oh, do tell, marrymonay. 

All ears.

He sat me down with a spreadsheet he made of all the financial benefits of getting married and asked me if I wanted to. (He's a military officer, so there's quite a few). He even broke it down into a dollar amount each month that I'm "worth". We aren't hurting for money, it's not a solution to a problem. Idk what made him think that's how you go about ask someone to marry you.

I said no, that I'm not ready. And that upset him and hurt his feelings. But the reality is I am ready, I just don't want to feel like someone is marrying me for financial benefit. I know him and know that he isn't only asking becuase of that, but I can't shake the feeling that he ruined the whole idea of getting married for me. Even if he redoes a proposal I'm afraid I will still feel that way, and that I'll walk down the isle feeling that way. And now he is sad too because I rejected his "proposal".

Any ideas on how we can remedy this or what I can say to him to make him understand?

This certainly is a conundrum.

The "I am trying to sympathize but am mostly glad this isn't me" face.

Marrymonay clarified her story a little bit and stated that she tried to let her boyfriend know how she feels.

TL;DR: Boyfriend asked me to marry him becuase of the financial benefits. It hurt my feelings. In turn, my rejection of his proposal hurt his.

EDIT: Sorry I left a chunk out that clears up some things. I did explain to him how I feel, but he thinks that if I wanted to marry him and be with him I would have said yes regardless of the proposal. I can't get him to understand how much his actions hurt my feelings.

In another comment, she added that, "I never said I wanted a fairy tale proposal. A simple 'Hey, do you want to get married?' would suffice. The issue is he basically laid down that he wants to get married for financial reasons. You don't get married for that, you get married for love, commitment, to build a life, ect. [sic]"  

Even as someone simply reading marrymonay's dilemma, this is stress-inducing.

Too much feelings.

Redditors have gathered to offer up their best advice.

Ofmiceandmodems tried to think about the boyfriend's POV.

Maybe he thought it would be a good idea because you don't like surprises or big displays. Maybe I'm being too positive here, but I think he is so eager to marry you - he felt that he needed to talk YOU into it. Since it's not like he can show off with a mega proposal because it would make you uncomfortable.

Throwawayheyheyhey08 thinks some more talking—or back-up—could help.

Ah. Ok. I get it.

I think you might want to try to explain that the goal isn't just to be married to a person, it is to be on the same page as a person and also be married. You were upset because the way he came at it made you think he only cared about the financial aspect. Which as made him a less than desirable candidate.

You might want to call in someone to help on this, frankly. A pastor or counselor. It sounds like you guys are speaking different languages about this. Definitely not on the same page. It also kind of sounds like he isn't even trying to see your POV.

Can you see his? Can you see how he would think this was a good idea, and how he would be disappointed by your no?

Myrrinda sensed fear of rejection.

Maybe he was scared you would say you weren't ready yet and thought he was presenting a compelling argument as to why it made sense to get married now in the hopes that you would say yes. Have you asked him why he thought that was the best way to propose?

Thanmandrathor suggested that this might be how the dude is. 

Is he at all thoughtful or romantic in other ways? Valentine's Day? Random romantic surprises or dinners?

If he isn't, then this behavior could be seen as an extension thereof.

I'm not sure how to bring it up, especially as you already have and he has dismissed it, but he needs to know that your desire for a little romance in this event is not some kind of unreasonable ask. People want to be asked to become a spouse because of love, for the most part. It's important, not a secondary thing.

As good a financial decision as (this) marriage can be, that doesn't let him off the hook for making some kind of romantic gesture toward the woman he supposedly loves. He doesn't have to do a proposal with a dozen bouquets under a moonlit sky with champagne flowing and swans gliding across a lake, but goddamn, he can make SOME kind of effort to be a bit sensitive.

Regardless of their suggestions, everyone agreed that this proposal won't go down in the history books as a rousing success. 

Marrymonay's last update had her supporting the theory that her boyfriend was afraid she'd turn him down—which is ironic, as she only turned him down because his fear of getting turned down made his proposal suck.

Best of luck untying this knot, marrymonay.

Transgender artist Vivek Shraya recreates vintage photos of her mother, with fascinating results.

0

The Internet provides a platform for emerging visual artists of many mediums to renounce the conventional and make captivating, original (and sometimes super weird) projects. In Trisha, transgender artist Vivek Shraya recreates her mother’s vintage photographs—donning similar ensembles to the ones worn by her mother and using identical backdrops—to create "a celebration of girlhood and femininity, in all its forms."

Vivek Shraya's mom (Left). Vivek Shraya (Right).

While transitioning over the past year, the Toronto-based artist discovered an old photo of her mom wearing an emerald-colored sari—a South Asian garment made from a long piece of cloth draped around the body. She told Someecards that it was "surreal to look at this photo and observe how similar we look." That moment spurred the creation of this series.

In her description of the project, Shraya says her mother always prayed for two sons:

Maybe it was because of the ways you felt weighed down as a young girl, or the ways you felt you weighed down your mother by being a girl. Maybe it was because of the ways being a wife changed you. Maybe it was all the above, and also just being a girl in a world that is intent on crushing women. So you prayed to a god you can’t remember for two sons and you got me. I was your first and I was soft. Did this ever disappoint you?

"I had the idea in November and then planned out the details until the shoot. We shot all nine images in one day in March," Shraya said. "I was mostly worried about the clothing, as these photos were taken in the '70s."

Fortunately, her good friend Mickelli Orbe is a designer. "I asked him to tailor three of the pieces, including the dress in the cake-cutting photo," she said.

Another challenge for Shraya's team was scouting the perfect locations, "especially the photo of my mom on the phone with the wooden walls." Miraculously, "the house of the photographer for the project, Karen Campos Castillo, serendipitously had a room in the basement with walls like that." She added: "It's this intersection of magic and art that is incredibly inspiring."

"What was so moving about the experience is that it felt truly collaborative. Everyone was so invested in getting each photo 'right.' I had printed out the original photos, so while Karen would photograph, everyone would be comparing my pose to the original and making adjustments, as necessary," she said.

The artist hasn't shared the project with her mom for one very mom-like reason: "she hates when I put her photo on the Internet. She is a very private person." Shraya's mom would ask her to take down the series if she ever saw it, and the artist "will have to listen, so don't ask, don't tell?" 

Shraya's creative portfolio includes films, albums, and books. You can find more of Shraya’s work on her website and on Instagram.

And whatever you do, don't tell Shraya's mom about the series. She'll probably flip.

Teen boys are always on the quest for glory and bragging rights, and this attempt at a no-look three-pointer did not go as planned. He tries so hard to look confident and badass, which makes the rest of the video all the more satisfying to watch.

To his credit, with the slow-motion video feature, it would have been phenomenal if everything went according to plan and he drained the three. But it blew up in his face.

You miss every shot you don't take, but it's much worse if you miss it after calling it, and then the ball smacks you in the face. Kudos to him and whoever taped it for sharing it with the world.

A year after leaving for sex rehab, Josh Duggar has found a new job befitting his level of sleaze.

Josh Duggar, child of 19, molester of 5, and king of hypocrites, is fresh out of sex rehab and back at it. 

"Family Man"

No, silly! He's not touching his sisters again! He's got a job!

After returning from faith-based rehab (gotta be way better than jail amirite), People Magazine has confirmed that Josh has picked up an almost legitimate occupation: selling used cars. 

According to People, he is buying and repairing used cars. It's a Duggar family business. So like Josh to keep it in the family, ya know?

Maybe he can repair a camo jeep, but it'll be hard to repair his rep. A source told People that Josh "looks happy" and "interacts very well with people," but could he have found a less trustworthy business to get into? The title of used car salesmen is traditionally synonymous with being a dishonorable cheater. It's like he is slowly making his way through every stereotypically detestable lifestyle this world has to offer. 

Here's a prediction of occupations he is likely to try next, the only occupations with worse reputations:

1. Cigarette advertising

"Smoke 'em if you got caught touching children!"

2. Insurance salesman

"Someone's gotta benefit if you die!"

3. Telemarketer

"Is this the Howell residence? What are you wearing?"

4. And politician

Makeup artist Jeffree Star took a moment to throw even more shade at Kylie Jenner.

0
0

Makeup artist Jeffree Star made headlines last month when he openly criticized Kylie Jenner's low-quality lip kits, and since then the Jenner with the biggest lips has apologized and promised to improve her product. It seemed like all was good between Star and Jenner, and that the two had put aside their differences in the name of lipstick, but the indie-makeup mogul decided he was not done dragging Kylie quite yet. 

Your lip kits are bad and you should feel bad. 

In an interview with Racked, Star defended his series of take-down tweets by saying:

If the product didn't suck, I wouldn't have anything to say. I was just being honest and I had no idea it was going to get so big. I was just giving my honest review. She tweeted me some half-ass response like "I care about the industry too" with a heart and I was like you didn't address anything I said. Typical.

He should know, too. His makeup brand, Jeffree Star Cosmetics, has a cult following of its own, and his liquid lipsticks are often sold out within minutes. They also retail at almost half of what Kylie sells her product for, and you won't have to deal with the shame of knowing you bought a product that supports the Kardashians. When asked if he thought Kylie spent enough time researching the formulas for all her lip products, Jeffree had no problem being blunt. 

No. I can already say no without you finishing the sentence. No. She found a lab that makes a $5 formula and they're called Colourpop. They gave her the same exact one with her name on it and charged $20 more. I'm bored. 

Star's sentiments echo those of many others who accused Kylie of taking $6 drugstore ColourPop lip glosses, sticking her name on 'em, and inflating the price to about $30.00. Beauty blogger Stephanie Nicole recently did a video comparing the ingredients in Kyle's lip products to the ingredients in ColourPop's and exposing that the products are virtually the same. 

So far Kylie has neither confirmed or denied that she is ripping off her customers by selling them drug store lip gloss for the price of an entree at a nice restaurant, but she has been posting pictures and videos at the Spatz Labs factories, the company that manufactures ColourPop's products as well as her lip kits.

It all looks very fishy, but as long as Kylie is selling her crappy lip products to those who long for their lips to look like they blew up as a result of a severe allergic reaction, she doesn't seem to care. 

Mariah Carey can't say three nice things about Nicki Minaj. She can't even say one.

On Tuesday, Mariah Carey graced Andy Cohen with her only five minutes late presence on Watch What Happens Live, where she helpfully clarified what she meant when she famously said that she didn't know Jennifer Lopez (long story short, she doesn't know her.)

During "Plead the Fifth," the game where Cohen tries to get celebrities to dish on other celebrities to feed his insatiable hunger for gossip (that's what keeps his teeth so white), Cohen asked Carey about her former American Idol co-panelist and archenemy Nicki Minaj. Watch as Carey manages to share her feelings about Nicki Minaj​with the world (or at least the part of the world watching Bravo) by not saying anything at all. DAMN, SHE'S GOOD.

Holy moley, you can practically hear her eyelashes as she blinks pointedly at Cohen in silence (this is what they sound like: "Blink. Blink blink. BLINK.") Oh, Mimi, don't ever change (don't worry, she won't). 

Ouch. Someone send some Neosporin over to Minaj's place quick, 'cause she just got burned.

Blac Chyna slams pregnancy body-shamers on Instagram, is on her way to being the most likable Kardashian.

Blac Chyna/Angela Kardashian is pregnant, which means she is pregnant. That has to be stated multiple times, as some people are struggling to understand that fact, like commenters on the Instagram account thacelebriteanews. The account recently posted pictures of Chyna in a jumpsuit that swaddled her womb, much to the delight of body-shamers.

For once in your life have some feelings for Chyna because the pregnant woman was devoured in the comments.

That last one is kind of a compliment.

Some people have stood up for Chyna.

But independent woman Chyna needs no help.

She posted her own response to the hate. 

Chyna's response has even converted some haters.

Almost. Take what you can get.


Kylie Jenner may already be dating another rapper slightly closer to her age than Tyga. Tyga's already responded.

A week after the end of her two year relationship with Tyga, Kylie Jenner is (probably) already dating 22-year-old Canadian rapper PartyNextDoor (whose real name is Jahron Brathwaite), because that's the life of a beautiful, rich, famous 18-year-old. A source told the Sun:

Their relationship started quite suddenly but it just feels right. They are mad for each other. She doesn’t know why she wasted time with Tyga. Kylie’s family found the eight-year age gap with Tyga a bit weird, especially as they got together before she turned 18 last year. PartyNextDoor is much better as he’s only four years older than her.

Jenner was already a fan of PND's music—in 2014, she and her sister Kendall were in the video for his song "Recognize." Then, a month ago, she instagrammed a video of herself with his song "Come and See Me" playing in the background and captioned the post "Obviously my favorite song."

Then Jenner's ex, Tyga, posted a picture of his fancy jewelry, which he also captioned "Diamond battles" because clearly he is over the split and not at all jealous and really doesn't even know what Kylie or PND post on their Instagrams because he's not looking because he doesn't care. Did he mention that he doesn't care? Because he doesn't.

Lena Dunham Beyoncé'd a book—meaning, surprised her fans with a full piece out of nowhere. Much like "Lemonade," it promises to be deeply personal, because it is literally her old diary.

To get people in the mood to revisit the awkward late teens, Dunham called out to her followers to confess the craziest things they did at 19. They'd all make good Girls episodes—you can just imagine Hannah Horvath dating someone for access to their private bathroom.

Robin Wright went all Claire Underwood on Netflix to demand equal pay for 'House of Cards.'

0

Robin Wright recently demanded the same pay as co-star Kevin Spacey on House of Cards, and the actress revealed how her kickass demand went down to a roomful of activists and philanthropists on Tuesday at the Rockefeller Foundation. 

Alpha female.

Equal pay for women and their male costars in the same movies and shows has gained increasing attention over the past year. Gillian Anderson had to fight for equal payagain for the X-Files reboot, and Jennifer Lawrence publicly disclosed making less than her male co-stars in American Hustle.

Best of all, Wright secured equal pay with the time-tested negotiating technique of threats:

I was looking at the statistics and Claire Underwood's character was more popular than [Frank's] for a period of time. So I capitalized on it. I was like, 'You better pay me or I'm going to go public.' And they did. 

It's fitting that she used a cutthroat technique just the Underwoods in House of Cards. Netflix is lucky she didn't used a more ruthless (or fatal) one.

Seth Meyers airs Andy Samberg sketch cut from 'SNL' in 2006. Can you tell why it took 10 years to air?

ASaturday Night Live sketch written ten years ago finally made it to air last night on a segment called "Second Chance Theatre" on Late Night with Seth Meyers. "Second Chance Theatre" is where Meyers mounts sketches that never made it to SNL, and Andy Samberg's, entitled "Wanna Come With?" finally made its debut. It proves two things: that comedy is timeless and that Samberg definitely made a good call by getting that haircut

Ah, the freedom of doing a sketch without the fear of Lorne Michaels yelling at you for breaking. Samberg was joined by Kenan Thompson, Greta Gerwig and Seth Meyers himself to finally bring this strangely relatable sketch to life.

Although it was not Saturday, it definitely did its job to transport you back to SNL in 2006, minus hearing "Dick in a Box" every five seconds and Kristin Wiig in every other sketch.

Photographer captures the pure happiness everyone feels when opening a pizza box.

0
0

In his latest project, "The Secret Order of the Slice,” photographer Chris Gampat pays homage to America’s favorite greasy food, pizza (phonetically: peets-ahhhhhhhhhhh. Add H's depending on your level of hunger.) Gampat's delectable portrait series spotlights several of his closest friends at the glory-filled moment when they first pop open a pizza box

Mood.

Gampat told Someecards the idea came about last January when he and his friends were eating pizza and watching Adventure Time. "When the (pizza) box was being opened up, my friend vocalized those angelic tones you hear stereotypically in TV shows. So I thought to myself, 'Pizza is my spirit animal.' What if I photographed a holy light coming from the box?" To underscore the divine essence of his inspiration, he added: "True story."

In the series, heavenly light floods the subjects' faces as they observe their coveted cheese pizza. And yes, although you may not hear it from your computer screen, a choir of angels is gleefully singing in unison as the pizza box opens in all these photos.

There are about fifteen people involved in the project, their portraits taken at different locations around NYC—with a majority of the photos captured in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Gampat said that one of the biggest challenges was "finding locations where people would typically nom the deliciousness known as pizza." 

Gampat also expressed that he could "totally keep it (the series) going" if there's more interest. Seriously, who's not interested in pizza? 

For the shooting process, Gampat would often pick a location that wasn't "super high traffic," like relatively lonely bus stop above. He would also "really make sure that the colors were contrasting enough and that the elements in the photos overall were working together harmoniously."  

Other than the fact that pizza is just flat-out delicious, there is a deeper message surrounding Gampat's series: 

Truthfully, my friends are all different body shapes and I think that way too many people give carbs a bad rep. Chill out, there are so many bigger issues for us to worry about. Why sit there and deny yourself some pleasure? Pizza is an art form and if it's often made by an owner at an establishment then they're pouring their heart into making it.

Gampat's also currently working on his newly revamped headshot business, pushing his Kickstarter for a business that he is trying to grow, and continuing to make the Phoblographer (a news website that covers all things photography) evolve.

LASTLY, A BONUS KITTEN (BECAUSE OF COURSE):

"During one shoot, my friend Megan's cat wanted to get into the pizza box and was very curious about the flash. The kitty, which is a beautiful Maine Coon mix, ended up in the final image," he said.

And it looks like this kitty ate all the pizza. Which is great, because cats deserve pure happiness too.

Mom tired of overprotective schools writes her kids a permission slip to be kids.

0

On May 12, Julie Walsh Holcombe, an outraged mom of sixth-grade twins Ryan and Patrick, posted a picture of a permission slip/letter she gave to her kids' school, stating clearly and in no uncertain terms that they are allowed to climb trees. Because they are children, and that's what children do.

The full text of her customized permission slip reads:

Dear teacher and/or guard who didn't bother to identify himself to my children, even though when you confronted them it was after school hours yet my kids were asked to provide their names so that they could be identified to their principal—

My children have permission to climb any tree they so desire. In fact, I encourage it, whenever and wherever they can, for as long as they both shall live. I can think of few things better than knowing they are spending their time playing outside in the fresh air, taking advantage of the beautiful playground nature can provide, getting exercise, using their imagination, chatting with their squad of friends, all while climbing a tree. Your rationale that they should not partake in this activity for the fear that if they fall the school district will be sued is both sad and ridiculous. Sad because your first instinct wasn't to simply feel grateful that you got to witness the joyfulness that comes from such an innocent youthful activity, and ridiculous because it must mean we've become such a litigious society that you let your actions be driven by the slim possibility of a negative outcome. (A negative outcome for the school district, by the way. You were apparently less interested that my kids might get hurt in general.)

So, from this point forward, I respectfully ask that you let my kids be kids. The time they have left to do so is fading painfully fast. Please don't shorten that time any further. And if this correspondence still doesn't help calm your nerves about a potential lawsuit, below please find an official permission slip - admissible evidence in any court of law. Feel better? No? Then I suggest you climb a tree. It's really quite relaxing.

Her kids had been approached by an adult as they were hanging around after school with friends. Ryan Holcombe toldToday, "He told us, 'I don't want you kids climbing, because if you fall and get hurt, the school would be responsible and could get sued.' He said, 'You aren't in trouble, but if you do it again, I'm going to contact your principal.'"

The Yardley, PA mom captioned her post:

Warning – the following is a soapbox moment.
Generally speaking, I think parents are way too quick to place blame on teachers or school administrators for the shortcomings of their own children. With that in mind, I acknowledge that this might be my own overreaction, but I couldn’t help it. Yes, I sent this with my boys this morning, just in case. Because for the love of Pete, kids should be able to climb trees.

Apparently a lot of parents feel the same way as Ms. Holcombe, and let her know in the comments.

You are not only a hero to your boys, you are my newest hero! All Hail Queen Julie of Tree-Freedom!!! 

As the kids say...MIC DROP. I love it. Sharing. 

This is the sad state of society that we have become. And I commend you for your permission slip!! And hopefully that person gets a clue!!! And if possible…I would also like this at least 50 times!!! 

Wow! I do love how you addressed the situation though. That is the problem these days that people just can't let their kids be kids. We used to climb fences, trees and anything else we could when we were younger.

The school hasn't responded to Ms. Holcombe as yet. They are probably too busy trying to get kids to go inside and play video games. 

Man struggling to stand against 100+ mph winds on a mountain accidentally learns to fly.

For many years, New Hampshire's Mt. Washington was known for having the world's highest recorded wind speed (which is good, because New Hampshire needs to be known for something other than early voting, foliage, and fostering the blessing-turned-curse known as Adam Sandler). That record was broken in 1996, but Mt. Washington still has hella strong winds. On May 16, a date that most people would think of as solidly in Spring, Mt. Washington posted this video of one of the mountaintop weather observers struggling against 100+ mph winds on the still snow-covered peak:

100+ MPH Winds 5-16-16

Weather Observers Mike Dorfman and Tom Padham took a brief break this morning to enjoy the windy and wintry conditions on the observation deck. Winds so far have topped out at 109 mph, with gusts near the century mark expected through this afternoon. Although it looks like winter here, summer is just around the corner and so is Seek the Peak!

A Mt. Washington side note: if you grew up in the shadow of the highest peak in the Northeast (as this writer did), you regularly received Mt. Washington weather updates from "Marty on the Mountain," a delightful man positioned in front of a faded photo of the mountain top. Even if you don't care about weather, mountains, or New Hampshire, he's worth watching for his thicker-than-blood New England accent and somewhat-stilted delivery:

"Thank you very much, Marty" indeed.

Superhuman dad builds son a spaceship bed with control panel for easy escape from reality.

"BrooklynEWD" should be a new term for cool dad because Redditor BrooklynEWD is the best father out there (at least when it comes to making beds). For what he claims to be his first DIY build, the dad built his four-year-old son a spaceship bed, complete with a control center and storage space in the stairs. It's amazing.

The superdad started out with the frame work, which he designed himself.

BrooklynEWD involved his son the process, taking him to get pieces of wood cut to perfection. "I want him to see that we can make things ourselves, and that not everything has to come from a store," he wrote on Imgur.

Skipping ahead a million steps, BrooklynEWD finally arrived at the important parts of the bed: the decorative details. (OK fine, structural safety was the most important part, which BrooklynEWD was very attentive to). 

Please hold your applause, because it gets way better.

Here's the control panel in its early awesome stage.

"When designing the bed, I asked myself what I would want if I were 4 years old, and this control panel was my answer," BrooklynEWD said

There are enough buttons to play with to last this kid three childhoods.

Judging from space movies, this is an exact replica of a spaceship's control panel. 

Turn on the lights, and this kid can pretend he's thousands of miles away from home.

That feature will come in handy during his toddler tantrums.

The little dude loves his bed.

If this kid did not love this bed, he'd be a monster.

As to the cost of this whole set-up, BrooklynEWD said that, "It definitely cost more than I had hoped." It was, however, "less than that $4000 "Star Wars bed" from pottery barn kids, so I feel like I won," he wrote on Reddit.

This dad is fully aware that the time will come when his little astronaut can't fit in his bed anymore. "When he's too big for it, he can help build the next thing," BrooklynEWD wrote. "We will let the project evolve into something else." What is the next evolution step for a spaceship bed? A galaxy bed that lords its power over tiny earthlings?

How can you tell if the woman you just married is just not that into you? Let's start with when she refuses to put her phone down while you are trying to lose your virginity.

Hold on, I'm about to clear this level on Candy Crush.

According to The Daily Pakistan, the groom took his bride to a hotel directly after the wedding ceremony, but when he attempted to marriage (barf), she was too busy texting her friends.

According to a source at DP, “the groom tried to get closer with her and more intimate, but he was shocked when she ignored him, not responding to his words and actions.” Not even responding, as though she were a teenager being asked to come to the dinner table.

"I'll bang you in a five minutes, jeez-uh!"

DP's source explains, “When he asked her if her friends were more important than he was, the bride answered that they were.” Like, she only JUST married the guy, but she's probably been friends with her friends forever, ya know?

Here is our artistic interpretation of what her text chains must have looked like:

v important texts

She's got a lot of important texts coming in, so get in line, hubs. 

He did get in line, for a divorce. When the courts tried to refer him to a reconciliation committee, he refused. Ah well. It's like the old saying goes, never fall in love with a girl with a unlimited data plan.
