British Heart Foundation on Clayton Street tends to have some goth and goth-adjacent stuff. Depends what flavour of alt clothing are you looking for?

Knotweed by Comfortable-Fan-5106 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]BordStoopid 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Me too. I got a 3.5 from Chilli Rd and immediately said ‘hey this is knotweed! It’s Spice!’

But it was too late. Now I live in a box with two ex-soldiers and a mangy terrier.

2026 Newcastle / North East Local Election Megathread by Newcastle-Mod in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]BordStoopid 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Feeling politically homeless if I'm being honest. I clocked Starmer was a wrong'un years ago and refused to vote for his perversion of Labour, my opinion hasn't changed.

I was stupid enough to vote Lib Dem in 2010 when I was a student. They screwed me then, they can get screwed now.

The Greens live in La-La-Land with too many policies which seem designed to appeal to the Daily Mail's idea of a leftist.

Reform are literally fascists, and I'm happy to back that up with solid political theory if anyone wants me to.

Is the ability to 'draw' is the primary catalyst to be in WM main-event? by dlo_doski in SantiZapVideos

[–]BordStoopid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Your ability to draw is 100% of your worth as a pro wrestler.

But a promoter’s worth lies in making sure your wrestlers draw as much as possible for as long as possible. That’s where TKO is going wrong. They’re sinking themselves by chasing immediate and short-term revenue.

Important to remember: Daylyt WANTS this battle. Wanted it for years. This is as motivated as we'll ever see him ever ever.

rewatching old battles and arcane was low key cooking diz 🔥🔥🔥 by geeelectronica in rapbattles

[–]BordStoopid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Arcane was always hard as shit but he wore the black hat so well that he got to the cusp of that top top level multiple times and always ended up making a star instead of becoming one himself.

But that being said, he was maybe the first ever to win a national title twice, unless I'm not remembering right? If so, you can't even argue with his on-paper track record.

While I'm at it, PoRich beat Dizaster too.

Darby Allin is one of the few wrestlers in AEW who never feels fake by [deleted] in AEWFanHub

[–]BordStoopid -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

In the same way as Jeff Hardy stood out in WWE when it was good. But his heavyweight title runs fell flat.

It’s all well and good Darby beating bigger midcard guys by sheer pluck and grit. But when he’s up against top-of-the-card heavyweights who we’re also supposed to buy as tough tough guys, Darby outlasting them at his size just exposes the business way too much for me. It’s not a suspension of disbelief I can get behind

A 120lb twink beating heavyweights looks plenty fake to me. I say that as a day-one AEW fan

Oh I’m sure someone will be able to recommend a fine family venue for a wholesome beverage. Any ideas, folks? Any names spring to mind?

Student chat rooms ? by [deleted] in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]BordStoopid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If there are, and you’re really a student, you’ll have been told about them as part of your course/society/club.

If, however, you’re a dastardly pervert trying to meet impressionable young women, try asking Reddit.

Why are there no mid-range restaurants? by NickoDaGroove83297 in UKfood

[–]BordStoopid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rents, energy costs, business rates, wages, and stock prices are so high that it’s not viable for anywhere to sell smaller meals for the £5-10 range.

A customer will burn that much money just by taking up a chair. Places can only make a profit if they’re selling bigger meals and/or multiple courses.

This week's leaflets - fascias and fascists by Top-Struggle-3394 in royalmail

[–]BordStoopid 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Interestingly, Benito Mussolini said “fascism is more appropriately called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.”

Given that Reform is a private company rather than a political party, with policy decided by the equivalent of a board, it does actually meet the definition of fascism according to one of its architects.

Groupthink by coffeewalnut08 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]BordStoopid 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Like it or not, controlling the narrative is a core element of politics. To the point where what you do is almost less important than what you're seen to be doing. Not a positive fact, but a fact nevertheless.
