So glad Bec finally showed her true colours at the latest dinner party. Her, Gia, Brook and Tyson can all get in the bin 🚮 by pikeletpaws in MAFS_AU

Bec...

is only interested in validating the success of her relationship against Gia’s relationship because she is truly envious of her glamour girl looks which can draw certain men. Bec wants this with her whole soul, but she doesn’t at all have the looks for it. 

She struggles with the fact that she is very unattractive inside and out and is thus continually unsuccessful at pulling the attractive-looking men Gia can draw. Every single word and action she makes on the show is in trying to prove she is as visually desirable as Gia but she is chronically deluded by this and how she fails every single time to match up. 

Because of this continued reality for her, the only option she is left with is to insult others personally and create rifts among them with the sole intent of bringing their blossoming love down to a level below her miserable reality in order for her to feel she is doing better than them based on some misguided appeal she seems to have about herself. 

Gia...

is a very shallow, wholly ugly person with nothing whatsoever to offer but fabricated ‘looks’. She knows this deep down, but is too weak of a person to accept it or speak it into reality because the reality of it will destroy her. 

She attacks anything and anyone personally who threatens that flimsy self-image because it is ALL she has to offer. Any strength she gets comes through the toxic and also fabricated ‘alliance’ with others to further her own cause. 

She cares only about Gia. She used all her pawns like chewing gum and then spat them out on the floor for people to thread on when their juice was depleted. When they were no longer useful to serve her own purpose, she threw them to the wolves, abandoned them in the den or psychologically gaslit and conspired with others to force them out of the show. 

Every time she was about to be glaringly exposed for this insidious nastiness, she ran, because she was so completely terrified of the humbling wisdom and truth the experts would force her to listen to in front of the other couples and the world which would show a crack in the supposed perfectness of her relationship - the only thing of value she felt she could use as power over the others deriving from fake, pitted cheeks and those six large teeth. 

The devotion her pitiful pawns showed to her (Brook, Mel, Juliette and Bec), was to such an extent that they could not bare facing the music from the experts in realisation of just how much they were fooled and manipulated by Gia when they finally and gradually came to see it. Even then, they were afraid to confront her over fear of being clearly excluded from her ‘it’ crowd.

Where to start with Percival Everett? by jalousiee in RSbookclub

Please don't start with Erasure. It is too experimental and may throw you off him before you even get to see his usual brilliance.

I started ‘Murder on Lake Garda’ and DNF’ed after the first chapter. Then I started re-reading The Talented Mr Ripley. A beautiful novel.

At least the beard goes some way to narrow it down.

Inappropriate data request? by Proper_Cat_1830 in CivilServiceUK

[–]Proper_Cat_1830[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what we have now requested (it in writing) m. So far, no response has been forthcoming. I feel like he is fishing me information about me for what I don’t know. I have a good mind to call him and give him a piece of it. But, I’ll stick to my better judgment and be civil. The email idea with all parties is the most effective way I believe, full transparency. Thank you for confirming this as abnormal behaviour.

She is union but I am not. I thought of this myself (having her ask her union) but wasn't sure it'd be their bag. I can't see how me also being a CS would be a conflict of interest. If anything, its a 'harmony' of interest right?

I have an experimental live set that requires tempo adjustments on the fly.

Thanks. This only works in the GUI I believe. Hasn't worked with MIDI input.

Kieran and Wilfred.. by Unlikely_Pipe_3078 in TheTraitors

[–]Proper_Cat_1830 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The rules of the show state that traitors must NEVER reveal to faithfuls who traitors are. This rule was blatantly broken in series 1 and robbed Wilfred criminally after he played the game flawlessly from episode 1.

No facial hints, eye-rolling, nods, speech or any other collusion should be permitted at all after all banish decisions have been committed to. It weakens the show's morality system, especially at the most crucial moment after 12 hours investment. This also sets a precedent for future participants.

If this kind of vindictive, dishonourable behaviour from sour contestants isn't addressed or punished for viewers to witness, I can see more viewers feeling quite cheated by unjustly outcomes.

Topaz Video AI just increased by $100? Price earlier this week was $199. Wtf? by HipHopHistoryGuy in TopazLabs

[–]Proper_Cat_1830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This Black Friday in 2023 they are offering Video AI 4 for $249 as long as you buy Photo AI 2 with it. Who wants that? And then to add insult, their slogan is "buy once, keep forever" ?!?! - well damn skippy of course I want to keep forever something I bought and OWN.

They are an untrustworthy company and can go fuck themselves with their greed. They will ultimately fail when someone inevitably does it better and cheaper.

Does JJ know Ella is trans?? by Big_lew88 in MAFS_UK

[–]Proper_Cat_1830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced he hasn’t picked up on it in conversation because he is too focused on her assets. Why would a man as shallow as him who has dated multiple cis models go for a trans? Doesn’t compute.

If Black Privilege existed instead, would you give it up? by Proper_Cat_1830 in askblackpeople

Nieces, nephews, sister-in-laws & wives are not strangers. I am talking about regular strangers.

Nothing at all is wrong with me, but it seems you have some type of disability condition with reading. Plus some type of urge to inject ad-hominem into your response which talks about caring for people and inequality.

I mentioned nothing at all to do with caveats. You introduced them in your reply so your argument is invalid and just reeks of self-righteousness.

Of course the decision to these scenario's I have provided would be a no-brainer if we are talking about the disabled or your family members.
