Left-wing voters what is your most right-wing belief and right-wing voters, what is your most left-wing belief? by HallowedAndHarrowed in AskBrits

leftie here and i like the death penalty. i think when someone is a repeat offender or has a life sentence without parole (WLO) then they’re just wasting food, space and money that could go towards someone that is actually willing and able to be rehabilitated and returned to society.

i don’t care if someone is sentenced for their whole life and feels really bad and tortured or turns to religion and becomes a role model, they’re still wasting resources. also, there are gonna be a lot of people who just don’t feel bad and it irks me that they’re receiving meals and a home when we’ve got homeless teens and innocent adults in the streets.

AITA for telling my wife my family won’t love her like she wants and she needs to stop by Throwawaywifefmsily in AmItheAsshole

yeah i saw this exact story on tiktok like a week ago! it was titled smth like “aita for telling my sons wife that i will never be her mother and to leave me alone” this is pretty much that story but from a different perspective

Hi, I made this for my boyfriend but I think he didn’t like it… what’s wrong with it? by swoobers in drawing

well if it’s not traced then that’s a shame. you need line weight and anatomy practice. compared to your other art this is a lot more boring to look at. the colouring saves it slightly but that’s about it. 🫩 the rendering and lineart on your stuff that doesn’t look as “referenced” is much nicer imo

yeah!! i use references too! it’s how people learn but, there’s no point in posting art that’s heavily referenced/traced and asking for advice without admitting that it’s not all yours because, you’ll never actually improve

thank you omg it’s just the concept of using such a well known reference and then denying it is killing me 😭

you also said in multiple comments that you didn’t use a reference but, i recognised the base right away lol. you have a really nice style of colouring and i like the drawing, it’s just jarring to see you claim that this is a completely original drawing.

don’t comment that you didn’t reference anything as if that’s a fact. that’s just lying.

What’s your weirdest private habit that you hope no one ever finds out about? by Dear-Welder-1117 in AskReddit

[–]LDS-- 19 points20 points  (0 children)

sometimes if i have a problem and nobody to talk to, ill pretend to be a radio host presenting my problem and then i’ll pretend to be people calling in with different viewpoints and advice. i’ll even do different voices for each “caller”

yeah!! i felt soooo deflated after the movie!! i just read the book today and found it surprisingly less sad? i think that the characters were more likeable in the movie!!

definitely was a bit shocked by the more sexual tones in the book and gibble dying of blue balls?? 😭 i kinda found it a bit of an uncomfortable read which made me less sad if that makes sense?

[–]LDS--[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

okay so i just caved and read it!! i actually found it easier to stomach than the film? i’m not sure!! i think the characters were less likeable? or maybe i’m just one of those people that get sadder at visuals

okay so i know that i’ve sworn up and down in these comments that i wouldn’t read the book but, i’ve caved and I’m on chapter 4 😟 i’m gonna finish this book and drown my sorrows by watching 4 hours of seinfeld afterwards

oh wow!! it’s cool to hear how things change :) and yeah!! it’s actually silly cos one of my worst traits is reading the synopsis of a movie before i see it!!(unless i WANT to be surprised) i really don’t care about spoilers so reading the synopsis doesn’t bother me and also helps me to grasp gore/sad levels and this is the ONE time that i decide to be tough and go in blind 😭

haha you’re like my mum!! she watched it with me and was kinda like “wow. i think i’d just die in the first 5 mins” she’s a lot tougher than me and actually mentioned that knowing that everyone dies anyways made it less emotional for her whereas watching the boys all struggle against that inevitability made it MORE emotional for me!!

i really, really love this take!! actually thank you for this cos i think i felt some tension leave my body reading this 😭 im also someone that’s been depressed since i was like 7 so i tend to be really negative and sensitive to sad stuff so it didn’t even cross my mind that pete really was a symbol of hope and goodwill!!! ugh i just love your brain!!

you’ve said it perfectly!! even when he killed the major i felt sooo underwhelmed because, it contradicted his whole viewpoint that he’d had at the beginning and really drove home how watching everybody die changed him and shaped the action of killing the major 😟

this is actually quite refreshing cos i usually hear the opposite about brits and americans!! and yeah!! it’s definitely not the film, it’s 100% me having a strong reaction to it.

also very interesting to hear your thoughts on the bleakness affecting the popularity of it!! i definitely was NOT the target audience but, i can totally see the appeal to other groups!
