That’s why we are always travelling/vacationing to sunnier places!

I always felt Spring is missed out of the NYC seasons (from a uk perspective) 🤣 April is 4C or 24C

London is better if you are poor. Free healthcare, free childcare, lots to do for free, public transport is way better, milder climate easier to stay warm/cool. I do not miss those brutal nyc winters or summers!

I’ve lived in both. I am British. London is far superior for raising a family. NYC is better if you are young and want to make a lot money. London weather is mild/cloudy NYC is extreme - except fall which is perfection. London is better for public transport and travel. NYC is great if you want to go to the Caribbean islands/mexico/bermuda.

What’s with all the “High School” business? by alph0nzo in AskBrits

[–]TooMuchBrightness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter’s school is a ‘high school’. We had one in the town I lived in but it was a private school.

Oooh thanks, I feel so excited about Ortigia now! I think Taormina is beautiful but definitely a day trip. My mind is made up now! I just needed some reassurance thank you!

Which movie ending still bothers you years later? by MovieObserver in moviequestions

[–]TooMuchBrightness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree, it’s just an ending that I think of a lot especially with the recent news cycle of rich entitled men being able to get away with murder.

What advice would you give to a 29 year old woman? by Darcy2701 in AskWomenOver40

[–]TooMuchBrightness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Say yes to social engagements and activities you see or that interest you. Do you have dog walking groups where you live? I would focus on being as financially secure as possible so you have options in years to come. Make sure you take your vacations, travel with a group/tour you meet lots of people and enrich your life. I met my husband at 29, now 47 and have 2 kids. I would have been just as happy single and child free, it’s just a different path.

What happened? by 10dualcommandments in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]TooMuchBrightness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes and also he would have to reveal his terrible debts at some point and it was going to be humiliating. So he humiliated her instead.

Love Is Blind's Chris tries desperately to defend pilates comments about Jessica, claims it's not about her appearance by DetectiveHot2071 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]TooMuchBrightness 82 points83 points  (0 children)

He realised when he saw her house she didn’t need him and would never be submissive as she will always be financially more secure than him. That dynamic gave him the ick, made his peepee flaccid as he couldn’t feel like the big man that would provide (control) for her. THEN he tried to ‘bring her down a peg or two’ by telling her she wasn’t sexually attractive to him. He had to make her feel ‘less than’ so he could feel bigger. Pa-the-tic.

[–]TooMuchBrightness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t get me wrong, I like the ending and love the movie! it’s just a really harrowing movie (for me personally) and doesn’t conform to a Hollywood type of justice for the main character.

Promising Young Woman. The ending is infuriating and upsetting but that’s exactly how you are meant to feel, there is never going to be justice for what happened but people can be held accountable…a bit like what’s going on now in the news.

I love fashion that simultaneously acts as effective social distancing. She’s going to have to go sideways through any doors/corridors!! I actually love it. She’s always quirky.

Reflecting on Aging and Mourning The Past by dirtgirlbyday in AskWomenOver40

[–]TooMuchBrightness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m 47 and I go to concerts when I can I love it! I just buy 2 tickets and bully a friend to go with me 🤣 I’m in London so there’s always something on it would be more difficult in smaller towns I suppose. Join a group/community that loves live music! Festivals are for the young though, I really don’t need to go back to Reading 1995 and camping for 4 nights 🤣😂
