I'm too old to pay good attention, but doesn't Ariana mostly like other people's men?
If so, they can get kind of boring once they're yours.

The curse of working in comms, or being neurodivergent:
Listening to a McDonald's ad, and I hear "with hot salted fries".
Is that a bonus element of this meal? Do most meals come with cold unsalted fries?

They are also a barely disguised attempt to set two marginalized groups against each other.
You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.
They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today.

Lord of the Rings seemed pretty effing racist to me when I first read it, and I was ten.
The contrast between dwarves and elves seemed particularly creepy. And let's not even touch on the class issues.
