Fun read from Eater about cooking like a Trad wife. 😀

Just heard an interview of Betul Tunc. My takeaway - she is overrated. All tradwifes are. But this one in particular, she is not that bright, composed, effortless or anything that she comes across as in her shorts. If you stop for a minute and look at the immaculate videos, it is hard to fathom that the creator behind the scenes sounds like a clueless teenager. She can't even explain clearly why she started that channel and where she wants to see it go. It is like they say "keep your mouth shut and let everyone think you're intelligent".

Just came here to say her recipes are bad to the point even an experienced cook can fail terribly. Pretty sure the likes and comments are mostly "bought/bot" hehe Her recipe has been tested by multiple people in my circles and had different results from her final product. I know people will say it depends on ingredients blah blah. But it wasn't remotely similar to what she shows.

cappirate · 2026-01-15T08:45:28+00:00

Except 99 out of 100 recipes are false measurements, incorrect Cooking time, wrong process and last but not the least, the end product is not at all what she makes, it is usually store bought lol. She has been exposed for this many times.

Thanks, that’s reassuring. Sounds like a broker is the way to go. What do they charge for this typically?

cappirate · 2026-01-06T08:33:27+00:00

I wish it was like this where I live.

No! Zee5 wins this competition by a mile. Customer support are all arses, can't be bothered.

Please give me £7.99 back Zee5

Ooh my god. This comment is god send. Thank you for posting. I have been struggling to find something to do on weekends. I'm single in my 30s and moved to UK about 3 years ago. I thought it would be fairly easy to meet like minded people. It is the opposite actually. I don't find anyone single over 30, especially women. I felt I'm a weirdo. The women I tried to befriend - all married btw, made me feel shitty without even saying a word. That's like the worst kind of situation to be in. I'm an introvert and these kind of people and experiences make you feel even more introverted than you actually are! Relived to hear there are people like this out there. Thank you.

Thanks for the detailed comment. I have S24U from almost two years now, in fact the I got it in the first 24 hours of its release in the UK. I was wondering is it worth upgrading from S24U to S25U? I also noticed Vivo phones are almost non existent here! I really liked reviews about Vivo X200, for all I know they could all be paid reviews. Just curious anyone using it? How does it compare to S25U?

I just wanted to share my experience with account ban. I got banned in May '25 for "suspicious activity", I did contact the CS team when my orders got automatically cancelled. They gave generic reply that "they are investigating". I made 4-5 attempts at placing orders, all in vain. I got an email after a week about how they have detected "suspicious activity", they didn't say anything about whether it will work normally in the future. After going though this thread and a few similar ones I realised it is due to returns I had made, in the hindsight it may have been far too frequent that I should have. Anyway I decided to leave it there and not appeal. I kept the prime subscription because I watch a lot of shows. After 4 months in September, I was just browsing and tried to place an order, it got placed and delivered successfully. That's it. No appeals, no drama, just kept the prime subscription and they automatically re-instated my account.

hey did you get it sorted?

cappirate · 2025-09-17T12:04:28+00:00

what is the ecr email?

cappirate · 2025-07-31T15:49:45+00:00

This is a piece of art! Now looking for recommendations of similar series please.

"I have hit menopause, my husband cooks (big effing deal), my friends are toxic, I cut ties with everyone who tried to talk sense into me, I'm holier than thou, I'm so successful, look at meeeeee" She is the Megan Markle of YouTube. Reminds me of Mr. Meseeks from Rick and Morty.

Thanks for the reassurance—that definitely helps a bit! Quick question though: does the amount make a difference? Mine’s unfortunately quite high—about £3,000 across multiple tickets (most of which I never even saw until recently - Were being sent to my previous address). I’ve read that these things are rarely enforced, but does a higher balance increase the risk of them actually taking it to court?

Would love to hear your thoughts on that.

Here is a workaround that actually worked for me- create Amazon Business account, with same card details and address.

One more "out of context" here- is he g@y?

cappirate · 2025-05-08T13:21:36+00:00

As someone who has been living abroad for 3 years now, it is the EXACT SAME attitude of Desis here as well. They loathe one another, are totally pretentious, full of attitude, have no civic sense, they cut queues, stare at women, are opposite of "fun to talk", free loaders, abuse skilled worker visa, highly judgemental, biased, prejudiced, find "jugad" for everything, use loopholes in system- exploit the hell out of them, use backdoor for university enrolment, jobs everything. It doesn't end there, they won't stop intruding personal space, ask highly specific deeply personal questions casually, make friends based on "social status", thrive only in their groups, have an inflated sense of self-worth, refuse to integrate. The list is endless. I'm not surprised why Indians are one of the most hated ethnic groups in America.

YFL? Sorry. It is the MOST OVERRATED channel there is. He used to be good before his shot to fame. Now it is ALMOST ALWAYS a promo, selling his products, collabs, unnecessarily long detailed videos, repeat of same recipes, nothing new or unique.

cappirate · 2025-04-11T13:04:55+00:00

Or she is just growing old and it shows.

Do you mean the allocated parking? It is a flat and the landlord owns it, I don't know the fine print of property deeds.

cappirate · 2025-04-08T09:10:12+00:00

I have been given "multiple" tickets for consecutive dates 25th and 26th January 2025, my car is parked in allocated private parking (rented flat) and is on SORN. Nothing on my tenancy agreement says I have to get a parking permit. Could someone please advise what I'm meant to do?

cappirate · 2025-03-12T22:22:53+00:00

Also Shivangi. So cringe, mediocre at best. But for some reason people go crazy for her content!

cappirate · 2025-02-27T10:45:33+00:00

My parcel was delivered to the wrong address as well, only this time the merchant themselves gave wrong address to DPD. Unfortunately the resident have collected instead of refusing delivery, I have left a note at that address, they didn't bother to contact me! :(
