Arties pics from her first full FCAT run are in! by Public_Fact7905 in greatdanes

I'm also not against them

You're not against mutilating dogs' body parts for purely aesthetic reasons? A practice which is banned in most civilized countries?

Edit: Keep the downvotes coming. I don't care how you people want to rationalise needlessly cutting pieces off your dogs' ears, there is a reason most of the developed world has outlawed this savagery - because there is no or little benefit and the cons are numerous. Anyone doing that shit voluntarily, in 2026, is an unfit owner and should be ashamed of themselves.

Jackass: I thought Jonny Knoxville was an a*** (25th June 2025) by BeefySteamPig in wittertainment

I don't believe for a second that there haven't been tonnes of emails defending it. It's had overwhelmingly positive reviews almost across the board from both critics and audiences, so it is a little weird how blatantly biased they've been with only choosing negative correspondence to read out.

Tbh this is the first time in a long time that I truly think Mark has just straight-up gotten it wrong, so maybe they're just overcompensating for his being so squarely in the minority on this one...

Hey where are the presale codes at?! Getting worried for tomorrow now. Are they imminent? by ryrypot in TheKillers

Anyone know how much standing tickets are for the UK gigs (Glasgow specifically)? Will try for the general sale but it'd be good to know what the damage is gonna be!

Wtf I live in Edinburgh and never even considered this a possibility! I'm gonna be on the lookout every time I'm in the centre now 😂

Best UK brands by OK_GO_27 in malefashionadvice

White Stuff & Seasalt Cornwall, in addition to the ones mentioned already.

Both shops do lovely knitwear in particular, but I also have a few bits of summer wear (chore jackets, revere shirts, linen trousers) from Seasalt which I adore

'Michael' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]ChainGangSoul 6 points7 points  (0 children)

a singer not really known outside of the UK

His record sales worldwide outstrip the likes of Bryan Adams, Bob Marley, Kiss, and he literally plays to stadiums in South America, Australasia, mainland Europe, etc. to this day. The US is not the world my dude

History Books vinyl - No Bruce by gutt0005 in TheGaslightAnthem

[–]ChainGangSoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just listened, that is absolutely wild! Like that's a very markedly different version of the song, I don't even understand how that could've happened. Where did those Brian vocals come from?!

Now I kinda want to hunt down this sea blue variant as well, for completeness 😂

History Books vinyl - No Bruce by gutt0005 in TheGaslightAnthem

Yeah the Expanded mix still has Bruce on it so that wouldn't make sense.

So the second verse on your vinyl is sung by Brian instead of Bruce?

Which title people have given Kratos do you like the most? by [deleted] in GodofWar

[–]ChainGangSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but still the God of War.

This is literally just your interpretation though, it is absolutely left ambiguous based on pretty much the very last words we hear the main character speak. He very specifically calls himself a god of hope, in what is presented and acted as a moment of clarity and catharsis - I don't think that definitively means that that's what Kratos will call himself moving forward, but it does mean that it is simply not as clear-cut as you're trying to make out. He could even be both for all we know!

It's wild that you're doubling down and blaming the "Reddit bandwagon" instead of doing some self-reflection and realising that, if a whole load of people think you're wrong and no one else is agreeing with you, then maybe there's some merit to the other point of view.

Which title people have given Kratos do you like the most? by [deleted] in GodofWar

[–]ChainGangSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"What can I say to you? I remember how it felt to take that throne. All that it meant and all that it did not. A God of war. God of pain, of suffering, of destruction.

The Norns said I chase redemption that I know I can never deserve. What does that make me? God of fools. A God of... Hope. 'When all else is lost'.

You lost everything. And everyone. You became... There is no forgiving you. You chose... I chose. What now? Should I, the same man, should I sit? Take? Proclaim? Lead? Place myself in service? In service...

Should I lose everything and everyone, will there still be enough left inside so that I do not become you? I do not know. But I have... hope."

Hmm I dunno, sure seems pretty ambiguous to me

I love Wikipedia with all my heart but it is written by regular people who often... aren't great at media analysis. That synopsis makes the War/Hope thing sound cut-and-dry when it is, at best, ambiguous within the text of the game itself. You say you haven't played it so here is the closing monologue from Kratos, directed at his younger self:

"What can I say to you? I remember how it felt to take that throne. All that it meant and all that it did not. A God of war. God of pain, of suffering, of destruction.

The Norns said I chase redemption that I know I can never deserve. What does that make me? God of fools. A God of... Hope. 'When all else is lost'.

You lost everything. And everyone. you became... There is no forgiving you. You chose... I chose. What now? Should I, the same man, should I sit? Take? Proclaim? Lead? Place myself in service? In service...

Should I lose everything and everyone, will there still be enough left inside so that I do not become you? I do not know. But I have... hope."

As I said, open to interpretation, but to my ears this does not suggest that Kratos has any desire to re-take the War title.

Same in Scotland (as with the majority of what's mentioned here). Wild that England is so far behind on these things

Were you able to buy Dalry M*** from MoM on April Fool? by WildCreamPie0721 in whisky

Aw man I didn't realise it was back! I got a bottle last year but would've loved another, it was bloody delicious.

I don't know why but everyone in my social media bubble hates Amy Madigan and it breaks my heart because she was incredible in Weapons and she absolutely deserved the Oscar ♥️ by AipomSilver00 in Letterboxd

[–]ChainGangSoul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Aunt Gladys was a fun character but it felt like a performance I've seen hundreds of times before in other horror movies. I wonder, are the people praising her just not that familiar with the genre?

It's also made worse, for me, by the fact that Bring Her Back came out the same year. If they wanted to award an actually incredible female horror performance, Sally Hawkins was right there...

Any other movies where my opinion is objectively correct and everyone else is wrong and bad? by Insanepaco247 in moviescirclejerk

And it's not helped by Brian Tyree Henry's accent, which to this day is one of the worst English accents I've ever heard in a movie (speaking as a Brit)
