2016 just can ' t do anything right . Lorelai and Luke ' s story was fine , if uninspired and overall a bit mediocre . Emily ' s growth was nice to see and her storyline is the only one I might call good , except even that felt a bit off to me . Rory ' s storyline was a dumpster fire , hot garbage all around . I never realized how much I liked season 7 until now . <| sep |> Cloud 9 turned up the heat in the booth to simulate summer . <| sep |> Yeah the British and Americans made this argument when they were in Iran . In reality they paid a pittance and were stealing the country ' s wealth . How much progress have those European mining companies brought to Africa btw ? Supporting a local warlord to get miningdrilling rights doesn ' t local support . How does a proclaimed Rojava supporter also support neoliberalism ? ? Not a personal attack , its just confusing .
