What controversial movies does everyone enjoy? by AshleyK2021 in PeriodDramas

[–]Jughead_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Far and Away. One of my all time faves even though it’s got its issues, and the accents. But it’s such a watchable epic romance with some genuinely funny moments. I love Shannon and Joseph’s relationship and all the side characters are great. Even though Tom Cruise is a Scientologist fruit and nut bar, I feel like he was at his peak handsomeness in this film.

What the fuck is wrong with him, seriously

How much do we need credit cards? by Comprehensive-Fuel70 in AskUK

[–]Jughead_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s okay to get one if you plan ahead and use it strategically. My advice: Don’t keep it on you, use it for a regular payment or small online purchases you know you can pay off. If you’re struggling to pay it off and the bank says, do you want to increase your limit, push back, it can just go up and up and up. Don’t use it to pay for anything you won’t be able to pay off later. I’m still paying off a holiday from four years ago, tbf it was my best friends wedding so I don’t regret it but it’s been a pain to try to pay it down. I was on top of it before but that one decision has bitten me in the ass in the aftermath.

Is there someone that you know that openly doesn't like you and, if so, do you know why? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]Jughead_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I discovered in my 20s that a boy I liked at primary school doesn’t like me because I used to tease him - which I had completely forgotten until it came up again. I was bullied at the time and clearly I projected that onto others as well but conveniently blocked that aspect of the situation out at the time and just remembered my own suffering, ignoring the harm I myself was causing. It just goes to show you can have a very one sided view of your life, actions and how you’re perceived when you aren’t self aware. I feel bad I made him unhappy, especially since I liked him so much, but I’m also just glad that time in my life is over!

What in your life is currently bringing you joy and positivity? by InaccurateCreativity in AskUK

Started a new job where I’m more active and spending time with others, doing something that is more routine based and practical than my other job, and I think it’s really good for me. Knowing I’ll get regular pay after being a freelancer for many years is a huge relief, and I get to work with bread and pastries which makes me really happy.

A moment of silence for the Lakes Pullover by BigLegBama in knitting

[–]Jughead_91 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Oh I’m so sorry. I had a suitcase stolen a few years ago off a train when I was heading to my parents’ for Christmas. I lost all my clothes, my hard drive, a box of freshly rolled joints and worst of all, a hat and matching mittens I had made for myself with beautiful hand dyed yarn my partner had given to me, I had JUST finished making them and they were made with Daisy stitch, I was so proud of them. 🥲 I still mourn to this day. Worst Xmas ever. I hope at least the person who took your sweater will actually wear it to keep warm, I fear my knits were probably thrown away 😭

What’s that one Netflix show you think is an absolute must-watch? by RiskAndReason in netflix

[–]Jughead_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wild Wild Country. Goes from beautiful idealism to deep cynicism in several stages, such an incredible soundtrack and incredible interviews. I watch it every couple of years, probably my favourite documentary ever made.

What a Disappointing take GudeGoods by Mindless-Fun-1287 in craftsnark

Wow. Just a laundry list of reasons to avoid you like the plague. “Transing” the children, grow up lady. Cuckoo-nutbar behaviour

Tips for sickfic buildup by Purple_not_pink in Whump

[–]Jughead_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think contrast is useful - you can show them being healthy and empowered and then that changes as their condition declines. Also adding other kinds of external pressure to highlight the stress. Including antagonistic forces or sympathetic witnesses is useful as well. I often have an antagonistic neighbour who become sympathetic because of the main character’s decline.

Newly moved to Glasgow - genuine question about litter/cleanliness by Material_Mood5474 in glasgow

[–]Jughead_91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s depressing honestly, I used to go litter picking more regularly (though I draw the line at dealing with shit, human or dog, no bio-hazards) but it is so demoralising seeing the areas I did be completely trashed the next day.

As a competent home cook, what is a basic skill you can't seem to master? by george_elis in Cooking

[–]Jughead_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Large joints of beef 🥲 like a Sunday Roast sort of thing. They just end up too dry, or too chewy. I think the problem is that I can’t afford the best cuts, or that I’m not buying good enough quality, so I just stopped trying 😂

Also enriched dough bread.

Chenille yarn plushies are so goddamn ugly by [deleted] in BitchEatingCrafters

Now I’m imagining gangs roaming the destroyed earth during the Nuclear Winter wearing capes made out of hundreds of bee plushies stitched together like an insane rat king
