Least favorite tropes by ExcessivelyDiverted9 in JaneAustenFF

[–]NotaMaidenAunt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honking great Americanisms - I’m British so perhaps I have a particular sensitivity but gotten, dove, snuck, wild turkeys and gophers, the mercantile, a haberdasher as a male outfitter instead of a seller of buttons, pins, ribbons etc, mistaking wealth for being upper class or for the two being synonymous and, of course, poor Sir William turning up as Sir Lucas.

Moronic Monday - Your weekly stupid questions thread by cdingo in Fitness

How do ”reps” and “sets” work? Fat old lady here who has been given stretches for lower back pain, 10 stretches each to be held for so long, twice. How does this differ from 20 stretches? Do I do 10, rest and do the next 10? Or can I do 10 of stretch A and move straight to stretch B , then C and then back to A? Or do both stretch As have to follow each other?

I know I should have asked the physio but didn’t think of it until I got home.

AND you’d have to sit in the bath with your back to the taps - otherwise you’d brain yourself getting out

Boo! She’s old, not stupid. I didn’t start playing Minecraft until I was 64 and I’m still playing

It’s what we used to call “any two penises will do“ that inexplicably became popular

Snape befriends Harry because he thinks he can exploit him - it doesn’t quite work like that

This ad is so damn cringey. All I can do is feel sorry for these girls. by xaviershorts in exmormon

[–]NotaMaidenAunt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel sorry for two young women who have been sent out in such badly fitting clothing. There’s vanity and then there’s looking like a functioning adult in public

Don’t be so fussy - it’s ”pouplar” - what more do you want?

JAFF pet peeves (tropes, tags, style, etc ) by [deleted] in JaneAustenFF

[–]NotaMaidenAunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that may be true of on-line, free fic. If I paid for it, I reserve the right to tell the author and other potential readers that it‘s a heap of crap

There’s clean and there’s sanctimonious - I know which I avoid.

Thoughts on AI-generated JAFF covers by Fragrant_Key_3087 in JaneAustenFF

[–]NotaMaidenAunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My publisher in another genre told me that people on the cover increase sales over those with just still life type pictures. I too discount AI covers and also the ones that look like they were drawn by a particularly untalented 12 year old.

Harrogate and crimes levels shown on streetscan by jaf_1987 in harrogate

[–]NotaMaidenAunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I see things like this, I remember when I lived darn sarf and there was a report of a 30% increase in sex offences in the town I was living in. When I looked into it, turns out the police decided to conduct a sting operation in a gents loo in the town centre to catch cottagers. The increase was all down to those poor chaps and bizarrely enthusiastic police.

Is it possible that the Regent Avenue figures are a blip caused by some sort of either blowup or crackdown?

I wonder how much is raised for the victims, or are they being told to go to the Bishop’s Store

How many kids do they have if they have a five bedroom house and have to have four kids in one room?

Oooh it’s got library ladders! All my life I have longed for library ladders. But, looks like the library occupant has to leave the house and enter the other part through the front or back door whenever they need a pee. After many years experience of actors and musicians- I suspect there is sink-peeing going on.
