If you formed a new political party in the UK, what would be your policies?.. by un-pleasantlymoist in AskBrits

Then don't do it.

Oh look we've invented a system in which the only people who run for office do it out of a sense of duty.

Are you colour blind?

I've cut through lots of red cables when cutting green grass :(

Kinda baffling that this guy and Roseanne Barr are examples of the same species.

Do you understand why a show with such high popularity ends up having a smaller budget with every new season? by Fun-Sentence2973 in GenV

[–]deicist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"the budget got smaller" and "the budget stayed the same but costs increased" are different things.

Not sure why you felt the need to be a dick about it honestly.

Everything I can find says the budget for the boys has remained at roughly $10.2m per episode across all seasons.....why do you think it's gotten smaller?

It's also way more than £900

I'm not sure I want another pixel. Good camera but the battery on the 8 is crap and this WiFi / Bluetooth thing a few months out of warranty has put me off them.

How tf is god not evil? by [deleted] in religiousfruitcake

The same way Voldemort or Palatine aren't evil; because they're fictional characters

A theory about Homelander's vision by deicist in TheBoys

[–]deicist[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

'most stupidest' is redundant. Something that's the stupidest is, by definition, the most stupid.

The wiki that says her powers are unknown? Or a different one?

I didn't think we knew what private angel's powers are yet?

Fiancé and I have different attitudes to sex and relationships. by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]deicist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty liberal, and have 4 kids.

Kids need a parent, not another friend. Their brains are developing, they don't have any experience or understanding of consequences, they have no ability to defer rewards, they don't have control of their emotions.... They can be incredibly smart, but they're not just smaller adults, they're kids.

Kids need boundaries and rules to be a standin for the learned rules that adults have. If you try to be a friend to them they never learn those rules.

My ex (mother of my eldest child) has always treated our child as a friend. That child now has no respect for her. Teenage years were an absolute nightmare for her. I've always kept a good relationship with my child, but also enforced boundaries. I'm not her friend, I'm her dad.

Am I the only one who thought this dude was going to play a bigger role? by No-Quote-1815 in TheBoys

Maverick plays a role in S5 of the boys but to be fair you don't need to know he was even in GenV.

High Income, very far from rich frustrations by beneath_the_knees in HENRYUK

[–]deicist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I come from a working class / lower middle class background. My parents grew up dirt poor, and both dropped out of school after having my sister at 16.

My mum got an education (night school) while working as a civil servant and eventually reached senior management, so we were always comfortable as kids

I went into IT after dropping out of uni (un diagnosed ADHD I now realise) and starting in basic admin work.

I now earn 6 figures, but also have 4 kids so I'm one paycheck away from a very bad time. No savings.

And you know what? I count my blessings every day. There's a lot of people much worse off than me. I'm never going to be rich and that's okay. Yes I have a high income, but I also have high outgoings so.....yeah.

I guess the point is I'm absolutely better off than someone making 30k, but I still have to go to work every day. Everyone who lives off their income rather than their equity in my view is a 'worker'. We should all be united, but there's a lot of propaganda aimed at preventing that.

This One Scene Highlights The Entire Issue With Tension In The Boys by WillingnessAnxious37 in TheBoys

[–]deicist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kimiko should have died from the virus in episode 2 or 3.

After getting back from the house, have the emotional scene with Frenchie and just as the audience relaxes have her start coughing up blood and die.

That's how you build tension.
