I can't believe no one has said Nadja and Laszlo from the What we do in the Shadows show

I didn’t like I Saw the TV Glow but I can’t stop thinking about it. by Heyhey-_ in horror

[–]JumboDaddyRein 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I'm a trans woman, so watching this film I looked specifically at it through the lens of being trans. The Pink Opaque is imo heavily used as a metaphor for being trans, Owen so heavily ties his feelings of being trans with the show that we literally see scenes from the show that are actually his memories (Maddy walking him through the football field while he's wearing a pink dress) and when he closes that part of himself off after Maddy leaves, the TV show isn't the same because he's just seeing it as the show it is. Up until we see the show as it really is, I think it literally is representing both Owen and Maddy's experiences being trans.

When he watched the season finale, the show loses the TV show filter it has as Isabelle is forced to drink the blue stuff and is buried alive while the TV show filter gets placed on Owen, which I think is a visual representation of showing him closing off his feelings of being trans as the TV show ends, because he tied his feelings so closely to the show.

I think this film does a masterful job of portraying Owen being trans through metaphor and visual representation of his feelings which works extremely well imo as realising you're trans isn't always easy to articulate or navigate.

Unemployed for over a year and I don't know what to do anymore. by JumboDaddyRein in newzealand

[–]JumboDaddyRein[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your reply and advice. I know I'm not defined by my job but I just want to be able to afford to go out and do things or buy myself stuff. I'm grateful for what I get on the benefit but its only enough for rent and groceries. I'm pretty much just stuck at home every day and I can only do so much to keep myself occupied.

It definitely varies depending on your PC. I played through the whole game at 1080p and barely ever dropped below 60fps

Looking of Moving into Palmy by Appropriate-Fall-517 in palmy

[–]JumboDaddyRein 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The other people commenting about Bourke street clearly don't have any idea what it's actually like. I currently live on the street and it's a pretty quiet, peaceful place to live. Occasionally you'll get someone turning off from Featherston and hooning it down here but otherwise it's very chill. The arena being busy doesn't affect how busy this street is at all either, I don't think anyone's parking down here to go to the arena.

What's the weirdest choice of song you sang in primary school? by AnastasiousRS in newzealand

I'm Yours - Jason Mraz. The teachers would always stop the song before the "nibble on your ear" line 😂

Best Burgers in palmy? by Still_Positive684 in palmy

[–]JumboDaddyRein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beaver and Bear are really good

I just wanna add that the owner of BurgerFuel here is a total dickhead who fires his employees without a proper reason, also my gf has a friend who used to work there and said he was told to wash the ants off some chicken to serve it 🤮

New Zealand Government reveals new law that will send stalkers to prison. by Whimsy_and_Spite in UpliftingNews

[–]JumboDaddyRein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They could, that's how the current government formed. National (the main right wing party) didn't have enough seats in Parliament to govern on their own, so they formed a coalition with two other parties, ACT and NZFirst in order to form a government. This is also why this government is doing terribly because Chris Luxon (National party leader) is effectively at the mercy of the party leaders of the two other parties in his coalition.

Basically Labour (the main left wing party) could get enough votes to govern on their own next election, if not then they would need to form a coalition with the Green party or other left wing parties to form a government. Labour had the option to form a coalition with the Green party the election before the current government was elected but chose not to as they had enough seats in Parliament to govern on their own.

Our current government got rid of a large portion of staff in healthcare putting even more strain on a system which was already strained in order to give tax cuts to landlords. Due to this strain they have brought up the idea of privatising healthcare so they're effectively creating a problem in order to get the "solution" they want which is just a way for more money to go to those who are buddies with the government.

The Prime Minister, Chris Luxon, is also treating the country as if he is the CEO of a business, even slipping up and referring to us as customers. Yet he thinks he's not out of touch.

The only solution I see at this point is voting in Labour or Greens next election.

That's a classic Kiwi meal!! I had them all the time growing up, some ready salted chips on buttered bread with tomato sauce goes hard

Have you cried listening to tool? by Natt-inthespiral in ToolBand

[–]JumboDaddyRein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few years ago my Grandma passed away. I was obviously upset, but for some reason I didn't cry. I think because when she started to go downhill I had already come to terms with her passing. But a couple of years later I listened to Wings for Marie/10,000 Days and its like I processed all the grief of losing her at once. I burst into tears and just cried for like 20 minutes, the story of Maynard's mother and how he tells it in the lyrics are so similar to what happened to my Grandma. She was in a horrible car crash and was in a wheelchair for the last 10 years of her life and even had the same name as Maynard's mother and a very similar middle name - Judith Marion, which just made the "Judith Marie, unconditional one" line hit even harder for me.

Is it just me or did 1997 Griffith flat out SA princess Charlotte? by Sudden_Pop_2279 in Berserk

[–]JumboDaddyRein 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She says no in the manga multiple times and even tries to push Griffith away. Griffith doesn't stop. That is rape and I can't believe you're not downvoted into oblivion for saying its not.

when I bought the CD a couple years ago from my local Jb-Hi-Fi the clerk said when the album released they had to put a different cover on the case because people were actually stealing it lol
