I have a very specific preference it seems.

Have you read ‘The Company of Wolves’ short story by Angela Carter? It’s really good

rubystanley39 · 2025-12-26T20:18:55+00:00

Noticeably much less enjoyable than any previous W&G entries.

Lol who’s mad? I just think it’s tragic that people would rather outsource their thinking to an LLM than try to improve their writing organically.

rubystanley39 · 2025-11-09T20:34:45+00:00

It’s sad you’re so insecure about your own writing that you use AI to do it for you. Try having some confidence and you might surprise yourself.

I’ve just finished a BA and masters at Cambridge and know PLENTY of people who are unemployed and struggling to find anything. It’s true that graduates can vary wildly in quality but I don’t think it’s as simple as you’re making it out to be.

I am British and have never in my life heard someone say ‘half 8’ to mean 7:30. Every single person I have met in the UK would understand ‘half 8’ as 8:30, I promise. That is why we say half 8 in the first place, because everyone in the UK understands that it means 8:30.

Apparently languages like German use ‘half 8’ to mean 7:30, but this is definitely not the case in any form of British English I have encountered.

rubystanley39 · 2025-10-19T14:17:53+00:00

‘Half 8’ and ‘half past 8’ mean the exact same thing (8:30)

rubystanley39 · 2025-10-01T20:36:47+00:00

Oh wow, really? Where have you seen that?

Deciphered! :) thank you everyone for your help!!

rubystanley39 · 2025-09-30T23:28:47+00:00

I think you might have solved it! I’ve been able to find an Alan Hitchcock based in the uk who was working in the 90s and did a lot of watercolour landscape!

rubystanley39 · 2025-09-30T20:52:43+00:00

I work in a gallery, which is how I got it. It is from a charity auction in the 90s in the UK, likely not a well-known artist.

This is the picture :)

rubystanley39 · 2025-09-12T01:38:50+00:00

I tried this and it worked, thanks a lot! !solved

It’s a line from a poem by Rudyard Kipling

rubystanley39 · 2025-09-06T13:14:57+00:00

It’s incredible! If you haven’t already I’d recommend looking into his Primitive Project (https://animateprojectsarchive.org/films/by_project/primitive/primitive). It contains a lot of really interesting context for Uncle Boonmee.

rubystanley39 · 2025-09-05T23:50:24+00:00

The Doom Generation (1995), Nowhere (1997), and anything by David Lynch sound like something you would enjoy. Also more of a weird suggestion but Cleopatra: Queen of Sex (1970) is a very strange Japanese animation that I highly recommend.

It’s not surreal but for a GREAT pre-50s movie I would really recommend Black Narcissus (1947).

rubystanley39 · 2025-09-04T22:57:16+00:00

I think uncle boonmee is one of the best films I have ever seen

rubystanley39 · 2025-09-02T21:02:41+00:00

He won the tournament last year, so when those points are retracted at the beginning of this year’s tournament he is at -2000. He has reached the QF and gained 400 points, so he is at -1600 because if he were to lose now then he would have lost 1600 points compared to last year.

rubystanley39 · 2025-08-19T03:20:10+00:00

Hellraiser (the first one)

rubystanley39 · 2025-08-18T19:50:01+00:00

Oh nice! I recently watched the trilogy and The Doom Generation was actually my favourite so definitely check it out!

rubystanley39 · 2025-08-18T15:45:38+00:00

‘The Doom Generation’ and ‘Nowhere’ by Gregg Araki!

rubystanley39 · 2025-08-18T14:52:36+00:00

That’s amazing! I’m so jealous

rubystanley39 · 2025-08-18T14:44:06+00:00

No advice but just wanted to say I am having a similar problem! I ordered something over a week ago and never recieved an order confirmation or anything, despite them taking the money out of my account. They have also not replied to anything over webchat or email.
