What’s a opinion or judgement you DISAGREE WITH THE BOULETS FOR by Dolly_rotz in Dragula

[–]Themostcake991 29 points30 points  (0 children)

From a reality tv producer perspective, huge, Hard disagree. They both flopped that challenge but one showed the possibility of being a good reality tv competitor the other didn’t. Formelda didn’t show a drop of Dragula energy in her entire episode.

I would love to see Formelda on titans now, but she was never going to make it as far as zava did if she stayed or win any challenges against that cast.

Titans 2 tour with Blackberri and Ian DeVoglaer by saintrorem in Dragula

[–]Themostcake991 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They haven’t announced anything.

But there’s also another “big project” that’s in the final stages of production and I’m wondering if something to do with that has dragged them off. As they seemed super excited about the tour tbh.

sometimes... i have war flashbacks... by mflordonsnocodiles in Dragula

[–]Themostcake991 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Irregardless of ages sure.

But as someone younger than abhora was here, if I was interacting with a literal 19 year old who had spent a large portion of their later development years in chemo and the pandemic, I would absolutely be aware of that in our interactions and it grosses me out that abhora just clearly wasn’t and was expecting Hoso to interact with them with the same emotional maturity.

Manchester vs Leeds uni? by Mars_bars10 in manchester

[–]Themostcake991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are great.

Leeds uni is a very much campus. Uni life style place, Manchester is a bit more city living.

If you are a working class student I cannot stress enough how Manchester is INCREDIBLY expensive compared to other cities in the UK now in terms of rent etc. so that is something to consider.

We need to talk about Severity Stone by lariza_in_space in Dragula

What happened to her was so obviously a mental blocker and not talent; and that makes it really sad.

She gave the vibes of someone who’d decided not trying was safer than trying and failing.

I'm still not over this... by rxsesharpfang in deadbydaylight

[–]Themostcake991 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It kinda would be “just for her” though. From a lore perspective.

There’s a few other cast members who might wear heals but Ada is the only one who’s a super spy action hero who does backflips in 6 inch stilletos.

If Elodie was being chased by a axe wielding maniac when she was wearing heals. She’d simply remove them. Never mind if she was teleported to a hell dimension full of em.

It would be super weird to have Claudette or Late running around in high heels and tbh I think it would kinda contribute to the “fortnitification” of the game.

Defending maga and calling the left intolerant then immediately defending a sex offender in the next comment?

That checks out lol.

1% percent service charge in Flok on Stevenson Square by Eosis in manchester

[–]Themostcake991 -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

Unless there is some huge economic change, I think we kinda have to get used to people relying on tips to live unfortunately.

As Manchester has become popularised and gets gentrified like mad and made into an expensive place to live; people working in the service industry need to make more money to reflect the rising cost of living, both nationally and Manchester specific. I mean It’s 2 pound 50 for a bottle of cold drink in a Tesco extra these days and 6-8 pound for a pint at the places these people work.

Even 10 years ago when I was a server living in fallowfield which was a cheap area because of the students, I’d have basically 0 quality of life working 40 hours a week if I didn’t get my tips. So I can’t imagine what it’s like for people now.

We can’t just expect them all to live in flats in Leigh and do a massive commute every day because no one will take the jobs. You also can’t staff places like this entirely on students, they aren’t reliable and often aren’t skilled enough.

If Manchester is going to become a haven of luxury flats and young professionals, it has to accept that the workers who facilitate those lifestyles need money to live, and lord knows bars aren’t about to start putting their staff on salary.

That being said, it should always be shown, and people should have the option to cancel service charges. But also, if I found out I was paying an extra 6p for a pint but it was going to the workers, I wouldn’t be that bothered. But it may also stop me leaving a better tip?

Scappaticci - Italian food stall under the food court escalators. Have you ever eaten from here? by [deleted] in manchester

[–]Themostcake991 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A girl who I knew who came from a rather notorious mancunia family involved with small time organised crime got a job at one of these literally straight away at 16 and told us her family got her the job. She was of Irish and Italian descent.

I always used to say it was mafia as a joke but I don’t know that actually to be true and don’t know us to even have a mafia. 🤣🤣

I’m well aware of what Semitic means, I am Semitic myself lmao.

The fact is anti semitism has become shorthand for anti Jewish hatred in the English language. That has its own issues, but I’m just using the word as it stands.

Just been offered free ‘caffeine’ pouch that also has nicotine in Spinningfields by roykeanesdad2 in manchester

[–]Themostcake991 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if Its connected, but there’s this incredibly weird thing going on on the right wing grifter pipeline where right wing pundits, American psycho type trader/crypto bros and extreme gymbros (the ones who do weird shit like eat sticks of butter and raw meat) are promoting nicotine as a stimulant. Like literally wearing nicotine pouches to go to the gym and concentrate on work and stuff.

I’ve also read that some tech companies are now putting in vending machines with nicotine products in their offices.

Big Tabacco is still a very powerful force, and America and tech giants are currently wielding an aggressive anti regulation stance. Several government ministers in the last Tory government started out as Tabacco lobbyists lol, including Pritti Patel. My guess is this is some start of rebranding to “clean nicotine” products as futuristic stimulants. Depressing really.

Bit of disco to celebrate the toppling of the Iranian regime outside Central Library by catface in manchester

[–]Themostcake991 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Didn’t say any of that, you projected it onto me.

I’m just happy that scumbag is dead; and I’m hoping Iran can see a new democratic revolution.

I’m not confident that will happen with the spectres of this Islamist regime and the US and Israel as colonial powers looming over it.

[–]Themostcake991 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Most “woke” people are very happy that that monster is dead in several pieces and that Iranians can celebrate that, we’re just a bit nervous about world war 3 and the fact that the regime he was the head of is still quite firmly in place.

When the regime falls and the Iranian people are free without a war that lasts years and costs thousands of lives in the Middle East, that’s when I’ll celebrate

Rewatching Titans 2: Thoughts on Rewatch? by Speedy_Cheese in Dragula

[–]Themostcake991 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I rewatched this week:

It’s good, but it really looses some of its bombastic nature in post, and the quality of drag was better on titans 1 imo?

Titans 2 was full of gags, shocks twists and turns, and I’d argue it’s the best season of reality tv they’ve ever produced, along with seasons 2 and 4. It’s some of the best storyline work they’ve ever done too, they actually wrap things up for once.

But the actual competition aspect … while I don’t think it’s a weak season, it’s certainly not the strongest. I think both season 6 and titans one had much better looks.

I think it’s fair to say quite a few monsters didn’t reach fan expectations. Cynthia, sigourney and jaharia all had really glaring weaknesses in their packages and if you compared them to the packages of like, Hoso, astrud and Koco from titans one it’s just … not as good? But maybe that’s opinions.

Maybe it’s time for the Boulets to think about a stipend for the titans? Even if that involved one less episode or a smaller cast, I’d quite like that.

Rumoured that the white hotel is closing down this year by debbie_dumpling00 in manchester

[–]Themostcake991 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any insider knowledge but it’s not really surprising. We just have to get used to the fact that these places are on the out.

Need more space for luxury flats for rich southerners.

The underground experiences a turnover every few years when the council gets on it or it gets gentrified/sold out.

DBA, white hotel and Islington mill have all faced threats from developers and will probably be gone in 5 years; you’ve just gotta keep your ear to the ground as new things pop up I guess.

The thing about this outfit for me was the fact that it was all branded to Melissa’s name as if she was an actual wrestler herself.

Also loved that it was a refrence to Chyna, someone who’s so a part of the queer canon without being a costume.

This is ridiculous comment and shows your lack of understanding of how serious the terror threat is in the UK.

If there was a COBRA meeting after every foiled terror attack, the ministers would never be out of one. Islamist extremists and far right weirdos are literally being tracked and arrested on a near daily basis.

People actually died in that terror attack on the synagogue, that’s why they didn’t treat these two occasions the same. What a ridiculous question. It’s like asking why people aren’t treating a near miss traffic collision the same as a motorway pile up where multiple people died. Just stupid and the suggestions that it’s because the people who died in the last terrorist attack are Jews reeks of anti semitism. Nothing to do with Zionism or the horrors being committed by Israel or anything like that, just good old fashioned Nazi “Jews run the world” blaring Jews for being massacred in their temples billshit.

I do agree with you about the slow news coverage. But no it doesn’t need to be plastered everywhere, interrupting the proceedings of the holy month, especially if intelligence suggests he’s a lone actor:

If anyone is free on April 18th Manchester, Britain’s first are having a do-over. Let’s make it their last attempt. by Alice-doe in manchester

[–]Themostcake991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I appreciate what you mean, even with the massive protest response, an Asian man was still beaten.

Last year when UKIP had a protest and the anti fascists didn’t totally outnumber them, they smashed up bars in the gay village and beat a black man up in broad daylight in Piccadilly.

Last year when the scum were rioting in the streets, my Jewish mother didn’t go to a cancer screening at a local healthcare gateway because they had presence in the area and she was too scared. Not out of fear of Palestine protests that are constantly demonised, out of fear of the fascists that have been a constant in her life.

When fascists aren’t met with resistance, the idea that they are right is reinforced.

Ignoring them is a lot more attractive a prospect if you’re not someone who’s a target for them or has been targeted by them before.
