Lindsay Lohan's new bff...Tiffany Trump -- (link) - decline Aug 3, 06:32 14
- what in the actual f*ck, world?? -- nm - amanda Aug 3, 06:33 13
  - honestly, this almost seems logical in today's world. -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 06:37 12
    - I actually sort of feel bad for Lohan. She went from A List actress to no gigs. Now she's a high end yacht/rent girl in the Mediterranean. - MDH Aug 3, 06:38 11
      - Yeah, she could have had a great career, but let drugs destroy her -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 06:39 10
        
        I love Emma Stone, but nearly every one of her roles would have gone to Lohan. It's insane to think about the missed opportunities. -- nm - MDH Aug 3, 06:43 9
        
        I think stone can actually act. can lohan? (could lohan?) -- nm - amanda Aug 3, 06:51 8
        
        After Mean Girls she could have gotten any role she wanted. She would have killed in Easy A and stuff like that. -- nm - MDH Aug 3, 06:59 3
        
        there is no doubt Emma Stone likely benefitted from Lohan hitting the skids, but I can't imagine anyone but Stone in Easy A. -- nm - groiny Aug 3, 07:00 2
        
        Oh trust me I absolutely love Easy A with Stone in it. I'm just saying she doesn't even get the chance. -- nm - MDH Aug 3, 07:02 1
        
        Mean Girls is fantastic, but I am not sure it had anything to do with Lohan's acting. -- nm - groiny Aug 3, 07:02
        
        that would be a solid No. -- nm - groiny Aug 3, 06:58 3
        
        TBF, drugs exploded her career when she was just 21. It's hard to say how her talents would have progressed without the drugs. -- nm - Ender Aug 3, 07:04 2
        
        no doubt, but based solely on her work up to that point.... - groiny Aug 3, 07:05 1
        
        That Elizabeth Taylor bio pic was so bad, I'm sure any rando community theatre fan (and I'm not eliminating the guys either) could out act her -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 10:42

- I know I'm old, but I just don't understand sneaker madness. And I lived through the era of Air Jordans. -- nm - Baron Starr Aug 3, 06:46 13
  - I know people don't get it and that's fine. It's not for everyone. Some people like certain fashions and for me and many others we just love sneakers. - Krusty Aug 3, 07:00 4
    - People have their things and that's what we should accept. I don't get how someone would pay $4000 to go see a Super Bowl or $1000 to go see a play. - Shaun Aug 3, 07:02 1
      - Yup. Life is short, do what makes you happy. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 07:12
    - *High five* to your last line. That makes 100% sense to me. Wearing them is different than sitting in a closet. -- nm - MDH Aug 3, 07:01 1
      - I agree. Also, they have a limited shelf life. The glue will dry up and so will the foam in the sole. An NBA guy had a pair fall apart on the court. - Krusty Aug 3, 07:06
  - Sneakers are like Funkos to me. WTF are people doing withe them? Do they just sit there? Why are they still in the box? -- nm - MDH Aug 3, 06:47 7
    - We wear them and like showing off what we have. Some sit in boxes because they're very rare and only get worn maybe a few times a year. - Krusty Aug 3, 06:55 5
      - Daaaaaamn Daniel. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 06:58
      - This is helpful! See I thought they were just kept in boxes (like lot of what I've seen on the internet). I totally get wearing them on a rare chance -- nm - MDH Aug 3, 06:57 1
        
        Some people have so many pairs that they don't get worn and that makes no sense to me. There are collectors that don't wear theirs often if ever - Krusty Aug 3, 07:03
      - How many pairs did you bring to Boston? 3? -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 06:55 1
        
        Yeah, just three. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 06:56
    - It's like ticket touting for sneaker collectors. -- nm - LMS Aug 3, 06:54
- So when I get around to writing Later, Skater 3, Kalki would offer to buy all of those at a strong discount and give them away at his skatepark. - Qale Aug 3, 06:28 4
  - Nice! You could just change the sneaker to the Nike SB Dunk which a lot of skaters wear. Air Force 1's are worn as well but they're a little heavier. - Krusty Aug 3, 06:30 3
    - It’s odd that Vans are popular. I find mine to be one of the most uncomfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 06:40 2
      - I've never had a pair. I'm a little surprised by their rise to popularity over the last couple of years. They've done some nice - Krusty Aug 3, 06:45 1
        
        You probably nailed it. They look good, so that makes their social media look good. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 06:49
- The secret world of shoebots - oblique Aug 3, 06:21 2
  - :-) And they're very expensive. Cheap ones cost just a $100-$300. Good ones that can handle hundreds of different Nike/Adidas accounts run thousands. - Krusty Aug 3, 06:28
  - crazy but true -- nm - budice Aug 3, 06:24
- Hah! -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 06:20
- Also, if anyone would like a cheap pair of Nike Air Force 1 in wheat color I can guarantee they'll be - Krusty Aug 3, 06:18

  - wages or real wages? -- nm* - Reagen Aug 3, 06:14 1
    - Nominal. -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 06:15
  - I’d love to see breakouts of wage changes by income level, but I don’t think the BLS includes that in their surveys. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 3, 06:06
  - seriously. -- nm - amanda Aug 3, 06:01 8
    - No one I know is seeing any real difference in their checks. That tax cut didn't do a damn thing for middle class pay checks. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 06:04 7
      - And that's exactly how it was written. The republicans just sold people on the bill. -- nm - MDH Aug 3, 06:16 2

      - Well, duh. -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 06:16 3
        
        It would be nice if more people noticed they got screwed but they don't and won't. :-( -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 06:17 2
