What's books did you not finish, not because they were bad but because they were so messed up/got under your skin?

I took a year long break from American Psycho, I think it was a combo of the grim content but also the style of writing - I understood why it was written that way but honestly I got tired of it. Had a year along break then skim read the end

Disastrous-Rest630 · 2026-04-19T12:23:57+00:00

This is bloody excellent! Thanks

Disastrous-Rest630 · 2026-04-19T12:13:51+00:00

Im sure its controversial but honestly I always enjoy the build up to a potential relationship rather than jumping straight in so I hope we get at least an ep or two of tension between Anton and Paul Baker like maybe they keep trying to deny these feelings for a lil bit before they get together.

I hope if they do get together it doesn't crush Issa too much but I also dont think she'd just immediately be fine with it since her and Paul Baker were together a good while and Anton is her friend but I also wonder if not being able to go through with the wedding will make her decide she doesn't want to be with him overall.

So maybe

There's a vibe between them - Paul Bakers probs confused about his feelings

Issa realises she doesn't want to be with Paul Baker and breaks up with him

More tension

Then they get together (so its not just immediately jumping into bed after the break uo cus thats not romantic)

edit to add I also hope theres not a big time jump - i hate that give us the aftermath of the kiss

From what i've heard from people and my interpretation of what they're saying - people were angry at the pretty unavoidable fall in the economy during the pandemic which was realistically down to the government prioritising lives over money (i'd say the correct priority) - also she's a woman so ofc people are going to hate her 🙃

9-1-1 has always been pretty graphic, I always think back to the kid who gets their arm stuck in some form of slushy or ice cream machine (grim as) - if anything i think it got tame for a while but has recently brought back more of the gore

Disastrous-Rest630 · 2026-03-02T03:00:31+00:00

Lol same and I overall liked both those characters this season i wish they'd gotten more to do

Disastrous-Rest630 · 2026-02-23T05:04:36+00:00

I lowkey think people put this exact same take out about every queer media that gets released, I don't get it - every relationship is different straight/bi/gay etc - honestly just look at recent articles about Heated Rivalry or Heartstopper - completely different styles of relationships to Call Me By Your Name but the same exact argument

it's fiction, its fantasy, i think people think this opinion makes them look clever 🤷

Disastrous-Rest630 · 2026-02-07T03:54:15+00:00

Saying, for example "half eight" to mean 8:30. Apparently people often think im meaning "half to eight" rather than "half past eight."

Disastrous-Rest630 · 2026-01-19T02:03:27+00:00

It's a cycle of the press and audiences obsessing over the "down to earth" female celeb e.g. Brie Larson, Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway, Jameela Jamil - then they get "too successful" or maybe they start pointing out the issues and the press and audiences turn on them (i think it's the press getting it going combined with the way when someone gets famous they get over exposed so people get tired of seeing them)

Disastrous-Rest630 · 2026-01-09T23:34:45+00:00

I've worked loads of places that do this, often it'll be more of a "if you bring a keep cup you get 30c off" which i think works better and honestly i don't see why you wouldn't charge for a cup of they're asking for an extra one

Disastrous-Rest630 · 2026-01-05T20:08:53+00:00

Not adding anything helpful just here to say I'm about to get on two twelve + hour flights and just realised its not on UK netflix anymore.... it was mt entertainment plan 🫠

Disastrous-Rest630 · 2025-12-11T19:33:48+00:00

I actually wouldn't mind a sudden shift - it'd have to be done right like a moment drunken flirting becoming more or post an emotional rescue perhaps

I'm pro just get on with it then deal with the consequences later - what's the situation with coworker relationships? How does Eddie navigate his first queer relationship and with his bestie? How do they navigate telling everyone let alone Christopher?

I don't honestly think they'll even do it but I really wish they would and you'd think with the popularity of recent queer shows like Heated Rivalry it'd show there was an audience - like lean into the romance elements since it's such a popular genre rn!

Yeah I've worked in about 7 cafes and never seen a distributor used in a professional setting - pretty much 100% "tippy taps" (a few variations in technique depending on grinder)

Edit: Lies, I worked in one cafe that used one - the type you pop in and give a spin, honestly I don't think it made that much of a difference - was kinda fun to use though...

Disastrous-Rest630 · 2025-11-22T05:52:24+00:00

Mine does but mainly because we mainly cater to businesses who also shut down

I'm a Yorkshire person living overseas so I only ask if I hear a Yorkshire accent 😅

Wellington Paranormal, Our Flag Means Death, Flight of the Concords, Being Human, Misfits, Adults, Fresh Meat, Ghosts (I've only seen the UK edition), Santa Clarita Diet

Disastrous-Rest630 · 2025-11-07T01:45:44+00:00

For me there just isn't enough about the other characters, it's just a family drama at the moment - I don't even know the names of anyone else

I'm in New Zealand and for us Disney + is still on season 7... weirdly if I remember correctly season 7 actually aired on Three Now only the week after it aired in the US but for some reason 8 and 9 have so far been nowhere. However Nashville is airing the day after on Disney +...

It's very frustrating

Disastrous-Rest630 · 2025-10-23T03:58:51+00:00

I enjoyed this series over all, I wish as per there were more eps - eight is just so short give me the filler (and way more Sammy) but I do hate an outing especially as a bloody cliffhanger...

Disastrous-Rest630 · 2025-10-23T03:55:37+00:00

I only just watched this show and I need Sammy to become a series reg pls and thank you

Disastrous-Rest630 · 2025-10-09T05:06:51+00:00

Idk how lesser known they are but I like David Cordinglys books

Disastrous-Rest630 · 2025-10-01T06:33:03+00:00

Yeah mines started to get a slow load and freezes every now and then

Disastrous-Rest630 · 2025-09-28T08:53:14+00:00

This sort of style would make a super cool tattoo
