So that's the difference between a nappy and a diaper: the latter has a holster.

have read two different articles from two different news outlets today that claims the character "carrie" from sex and the city, played by sarah jessica parker, is now a gen z icon. she is praised for being a bad friend, someone who does what she wants, who is impulsive. one of the articles recalls a scene where carrie cancels an appointment with a friend of her who is already sitting in the restaurant waiting, because she got a text from her "situationship" and spontaneously decided to go there instead of meeting with said friend. "carrie is a mess, and we can relate to that."

I think the core friendship group in SaTC are not in competition with each other, and this is managed precisely by allocating them to four distinct "types" with different goals and notions of happiness - no-one is competing with Samantha for the number of hot young studs she can bang, or with Charlotte for the highest-status husband. What Carrie wants is "romantic fulfilment", which mostly cashes out as "being seen as worthy of commitment by somebody you've committed to". Miranda's need is for homely domestic satisfaction - someone to sit on a sofa and watch TV shows with - in counterbalance to her driven professional life. None of them would be happy with what the others want, and so their role as friends is to be accepting of each other's differences and affirming of each other's goals - which is the sentimental heart of the show.

Sarah Jessica Parker may not be the most attractive woman but she is a sweet spirited, humble, intelligent & gifted actress!

Isn't this just a case of the 'left' and 'right' wings operating on two axes:

And that current bipartisan politics doesn't fully accommodate this spread of opinion.

From what has been said here, the next generation are moving down and to the right

She's not the only one, but she is a noted example of the type.
