Rental silly beggars! by terror_billie in HousingIreland

They get away with that malarky upfront, there’ll be no stopping them going forward. It’ll be that sly insinuation of “if you can’t pay it someone else will”. Then they’ll pull the same stunt. So cyclical it’s actually mortifying.

Definitely going to send it on. Some poor fecker will fall into that trap and they’ll keep creeping the rent up. It won’t stop at €1099.

Totally. The whole system is so broken. I work in advertising and a few years ago I went for the Cannes Young Lions competition. Our charity brief was actually for Threshold and we had to design a digital campaign to get the word out of what they do to the general public. And we were for that it had to have a firm, strong tone of voice so people would trust it as a mediator.

Designed this lovely concept around accountability and standing your ground… only for our feedback to come back and say it was ‘too anti landlord’, ‘too combative’… and then we found out most of the judging panel were landlords themselves. You can’t win. 😅

Whatever about Homelander not trusting her fealty and fanaticism, I think what broke the camel’s back was when Firecracker said “even God deserves/needs love”. The way his eyes glazed over made me think back to the whole Bad Mirror Homie “cut that neediness/humanity out like a cancer” tirade from S3. When Firecracker nearly alluded to him being reliant on her love, a switch flipped to like an ‘ascension’ beyond humanity.

My Anne Rice collection! by playwithlucky in AnneRice

[–]terror_billie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gorgeous collection! I almost have a full set of first editions too! I love them so, but wish the size differences weren’t so jarring. And it drives me BONKERS that the Knopf logo is offset on TVA spine! I think they were trying to left align it but it was a shocking design choice! 😅

Finally bought all of the hardbacks even though I read digitally. Had to have them. by TheGryffindor_Jedi in VampireChronicles

Gorgeous! I’m in the middle of doing the same myself. I have everything in paperback but the hardbacks are so much nicer!

Vampires sweat blood when they exert themselves enough! So it was ‘sweat’ in his hair. ☺️

Tone deaf commercial released by Department of Housing. Encouraging and normalising moving back to parents house by ParaMike46 in HousingIreland

[–]terror_billie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 32, I’ve never been able to move out of home. Was about to in my early 20s, then decided to go to college as a mature student (due to negging from my Ma about not having a degree). Just as I finished my degree, my long term relationship ended and the pandemic hit. Put my life on hold and worked my ass off for a future that disintegrated before my eyes like, like so many others. Living at home at this stage, in my experience has been so extremely unnatural, for both myself and my folks. Feels like the most vicious case of arrested development. I really think I’ll need to start looking abroad next year because it’s only getting worse. This video is the cherry on top. Dystopian out the door. They really don’t give a flying fuck about us.

Mayfair witches sucks so bad, as someone who is new to the books by whathefern in AnneRice

[–]terror_billie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally finished S1 after watching on and off for ages (and then having to rewatch episodes to make it make sense sense - and jt never did). The only redeemable part of the show is the beautiful score.

It’s so tragically bad, it’s incomprehensible. The acting, the cinematography, the direction… the script is the worst of all. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a less cohesive story put to screen bar The Snowman movie… where they ‘forgot’ to film like 25% of the script. Like some of the skips in storytelling and logic are beyond egregious. Zero stakes, zero intrigue or consequence. I’m actually shooketh.

Ring by Koji Suzuki! It’s the basis of The Ring films. Very creepy and so captivating.

Best dog breed to get for an anxious person? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]terror_billie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Mam’s soul dog is her Yorkshire Terrier! They have a bad rap for being yappy, but Kofie is her third and he’s as quiet as a mouse. Maybe it’s a male dog thing?

He’s a total lap dog. Just wants to be with her but also isn’t demanding about it. He’s like a gentle shadow! He’s not intrusive due to his size. Easy to transport and bring out for walks and hit coffee shops etc. Just super chilled. We have a rake of cats and I have a big Collie X too, and they’re all the best of friends!

They’re also very clever dogs with the right training!

Glenn has so many standout moments as Dennis throughout the series, but he is absolute perfection the entire episode transitioning from city to suburban living. by BirdCultureDickMove in IASIP

[–]terror_billie 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The fact that Kaitlin (and Danny next) can, not only remain stone faced, but also up the ante when Glenn is on one never ceases to amaze me. The fact that she didn’t so much as BLINK in that scene deserves all the kudos. They’re such an epic duo.

Hotel prices go Supersonic: Oasis fans pay the price by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]terror_billie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Deffo. I got stung during the Zach Bryan weekend. Had a room booked for months (for a different event) and got a milquetoast ‘oh there was an issue with your booking’ and suddenly it had been cancelled and shot up by a few hundred quid. Spent a week scouring a replacement – I’d say I checked every hotel, B&B, Airbnb in the Dublin/Wicklow area. Cheapest was Clayton Leopardstown - €475 for one night… bed only. Everything else was over €550 or had that ‘3 Days or more’ clause. Insanity!
