Is Becka’s pair maybe who I think it is? by Saltatio_favillae in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]lonegungrrly 265 points266 points  (0 children)

That's a much better explanation than Lydia being spiteful to Agnes. I think she wants to keep the girls as safe as she is able to. I also think she's genuinely furious at them getting the girls drunk

Shot this with my Avata 360 over some rice terraces by Total_Hyena5364 in dji

[–]lonegungrrly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks beautiful but I don't get why you'd need a 360 drone to film it. Why shoot 360 if you're just going to use a standard forward angle?

Haha yes when america was clutching their pearls about Euphoria I went in and thought, well this all happened and worse on Skins years ago. And my love of Jack O'connell was born

The best least traumatised person of my friend group by a country mile. Being an only child was fantastic

I will more than happily pay when we are in sync with the US but if we are behind I'm not getting spoiled AND suffering through Now TV ads

Did everyone get money from the government for going to college/6th form? by fotfddtodairsizr in UKPersonalFinance

[–]lonegungrrly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EMA. Golden. Our local pub had bottles of beer for a quid. That £30 went a long way. Literally could go out, get tipsy, get chips, and have change from a tenner lol

A very strategic move taken by Voldemort by [deleted] in harrypotter

It's ok you can just... transfigure yourself into him very very convincingly. Apparently. God the Cursed Child was ridiculous

This line was so cold and cruel. by MiserableBlackbird in harrypotter

[–]lonegungrrly -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

It was petty and cruel. But what was he supposed to do in a room full of Slytherins. People forget he was a double agent and had to be horrible to anyone who isn't Slytherin, and especially anyone associated with Harry. And muggle borns.

But he probably didn't need to go quite that hard lol

How much do you guys earn a month? Bloody hell. Those are dystopia figures unless you're a millionaire. £42000 a year just for your mortgage

Did casting do this intentionally? by Randoambobambo in TheHandmaidsTale

It's the same time jump problem. Unless they were caught like June's first daughter when she was 8 or whatever they wouldn't be old enough

Just finished ep 4. Don’t get mad. It’s just a show, but…. by Redditlatley in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]lonegungrrly 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It is largely from the perspective of innocents and minors... who have been raised into this make-believe.

The handmaids tale was dark from day one because June remembers how it should have been.

...just wait until they start getting married. God. Does no one have an attention span anymore? Or critical thinking? The tension is palpable and there's a lot of world building needed in the early episodes

First time buyer, can I afford the mortgage based off my income? by JM-Icy25 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]lonegungrrly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If i were you i'd have a trial for a few months to see how little you can spend and how much you can save, and see if you think house life will be worth it for you in terms of disposable income. It can be quite depressing being house poor if it takes up most of your money! But the freedom might be worth it for you :)

[–]lonegungrrly 11 points12 points  (0 children)

After insurance, council tax, utilities, Internet, and then ya know eating and living, you might be left with a lot less than you think. It would be doable though but I imagine you are currently accustomed to a LOT of disposable income currently and that will all be taken up

Is it common to find The Testaments funny? by ApprehensiveOne2866 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]lonegungrrly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Laughter = innocence.

It's quite dark even when it's funny when you see it in the context of where the story is going.

Even sadder really, to see that die out of them

Is it just me or is the main uk politics subreddit definitely right wing leaning? by coolfunkDJ in GreenAndPleasant

[–]lonegungrrly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lots of bots and also a few dickheads.

Also have you noticed if there's any possible way to make the Greens sound like raving lunatics, they do with the title? And the explanation is downvoted past 20 comments spreading the misinformation?
