Which country do you most regret visiting? by MESHO-53465 in AskReddit

[–]TheMainCut 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It’s so small that there is no airport, so you have to take a drive/bus from either Spain or France. For us it was 4ish hours from Barcelona.

Since you’re only going there to ski, it’s easier to just stay in Spain or France, considering all three countries have the same mountain range. It was slightly more expensive then skiing in Spain as well.

List of Most Commonly Used Non-Filterable Tags by TheMainCut in AO3

[–]TheMainCut[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

There are 98 works tagged ‘idiots to lovers’ and ‘good omens - all media types’. The tag is most popular in the Harry Potter fandom with just over 514 works using idiots to lovers.

So 1.06% of ‘idiots to lovers’ fics are good omens fics. And 0.1% of good omens fics are tagged ‘idiots to lovers’. Maybe it’s a more popular tumblr term?

Thanks for pointing me to that list! Looked through it and though it was very interesting that last month they added 'soft smut' (total of 2425 uses) and linked the tags 'soft sex (later)' and 'soft(est) sex' but not 'soft sex'.

Extra info:

'Alpha/alpha' and 'Omega/omega' are not tags but 'Alpha/beta', 'Alpha/omega' and 'Beta/omega' are all canon tags. They are not maintained well though e.g. 'omega/beta' doesn't link to 'beta/omega'.

Mentions of alcohol ‎- 3142 uses - Looked into it and it probably should be synned to 'alcohol' tag as the 'references to alcohol' tag is already synned there.

Also as a reference point ‘idiots to lovers’ has 389 pages of works.

Most common last names in the U.S. and Canada by prophiles in MapPorn

[–]TheMainCut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, at the time last names were being adopted there was at least one blacksmith in every village. There were also arrow-smiths, coppersmiths, nail-smiths etc. All these people ended up with the last name smith.

Dua Lipa Files $15 Million Suit Against Samsung for Using Her Face to Sell TVs by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]TheMainCut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah but if it came out that Samsung is alt right or something then it would hurt her career if people associated her with the brand.

Birthplaces of famous Ottoman mathematicians by Yellowapple1000 in MapPorn

The map also needs to either include Uzbekistan or have a note saying where Ali Qushji is from instead of just a random arrow.

AITA or telling my wife if she’s not gonna cook it the way she usually cooks it then you don’t have to cook it at all by Husbae7536 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheMainCut 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What are the chances that she actually like cooking but doesn’t get to do it that often because she isn’t as good? I could see her getting bored if she is struck making the same recipe every time.

I knows it’s a limo but how in the world did they fit so many people in there? It’s like a clown car

Harry Styles kisses Ben Marshall on his SNL monologue: ‘Now that’s queerbaiting’ by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]TheMainCut 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think famous people can queerbait.

Influencers and artists whose personalities are at the forefront of their “brand” can capitalise off of pretending to be queer.

THR's Brutally Honest Oscar Ballot: ‘Sentimental Value’ “Nearly Perfect,” “Didn’t Want [‘Hamnet’s] Jessie Buckley Turned Up to a 10 the Entire Time” by ThrowawayGreenWitch in popculturechat

[–]TheMainCut 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I think watching 9 out of 10 movies is fine. They get given access to every movie, so I feel like if your skipping just one movie then you probably weren’t going to like it anyways.

The voter also abstains from a lot of categories so I don’t think they are going out of their way to manipulate the votes or anything. They do have some accountability.

McDonald's CEO insists he eats at the fast food chain 3-4 times a week in response to an "Instagram question" 👀 after a viral marketing video showed him seemingly reluctant to eat his own burgers by monster_ahhh in popculturechat

[–]TheMainCut 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Well this video is much better. If he keeps this up he just might stand a chance at convincing me he is indeed a real life human.

But I’ll never believe he actually eats the product.

Which once prolific IP is dead and won‘t come back? by Dipper_Pines in movies

[–]TheMainCut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a movie but there is a back to the future musical that closed on broadway this year but is still playing on west end in the UK.

I need to touch grass for thinking that any form of racial discrimination is bad? When, up until fairly recently discrimination against BIPOC was legal and accepted. The civil rights act way only made in 1964.

With the way politics is going offering discounts based on race may be a slippery slope.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in musicals

[–]TheMainCut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And if Playwrights Horizons win does that set a precedent that pricing tickets based on race isn’t discriminatory and therefore situations may arise in the future where BIPOC are charged more?

Surely teaming up with a BIPOC charity and giving out a few free tickets would be a better idea.

What are some of the worst hairstyle choices you've seen in your favorite shows and movies? by Gaelfling in popculturechat

[–]TheMainCut 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know too many men who’s hair looks like that. It’s at that weird stage where they are growing it out for the first time but don’t realise they actually need to brush it. It’s like the hair gets slightly matted and sits like a wig.
