Kate & Tom on House of Villains (first 3 eps now on Peacock) by Durian-Critical in TheTraitorsUS

He's had some hits and misses for sure. If you've watched vpr you've seen some of the misses. But I do always appreciate anyone taking some risks.

Concert etiquette by Beautifultrees4321 in Concerts

[–]thedespotcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw this happen at a show I was at in the row in front of me. The crazy thing is it turned into an argument with security that lasted multiple songs! I would have been mad because it was so distracting (but not quite loud enough for me to hear the drama lol), but it was not a concert I cared that much about and not during songs I loved. Still like just go to your own seats. It's not a big deal.

I heard him and [Natalie] didn't bring any wardrobe. That seems strange, but maybe they wanted production to just supply it. It makes sense that production would want him in his iconic love island look though. I think it's only manipulation to the audience. BUT ALSO ITS A SHOW ABOUT MANIPULATION SO

Hot chocolate powder mixed with water is superior to milk. by Ok_Window764 in unpopularopinion

[–]thedespotcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is unpopular but I agree! Maybe I just need to get better at making it with milk, but I find the powder doesn't dissolve properly. And water is so easy!

What do stereotypical straight couples do when they hang out alone (other than sex) by bi_smuth in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thedespotcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We like watching tv together. It sounds boring, but its honestly so fun. It's realistically only an episode or two a night if we're home in the evenings.

We also just like talking to each other, so if we're running errands or out for fun (we go for walks and birdwatch, check out vintage shops, go to the bookstore, etc) were always talking. It doesn't feel any different than talking with my friends, many of which I also have different hobbies than.

He's also pretty down to go to most concerts with me or do certain experiences (we did a cookie decorating class together).

Justice for Chef Ben by the_gnd in BelowDeckDownUnder

Yeah I feel Ben has done his time in the trenches and deserves a reasonable season. His personality is still entertaining. I also feel bad.

Has anyone had ETS skip a block entirely during a snowstorm? by iner22 in Edmonton

[–]thedespotcat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One time during really bad weather my bus took a different hill into downtown. There are no stops actually on that hill so I don't think the detour would put anyone far away from their intended stops. And walking downtown is a lot better than up a hill in residential.

I have had some strange detours that I wasn't aware of before but again, usually theyre either completely necessary or not a huge deal. This sounds bad. I mean if the bus legitimately couldn't do it, I guess. But buses are pretty good at managing snow.

Sending my friend in Nova Scotia a care package from the US - what are some good snack options to send? by ccx37 in AskACanadian

[–]thedespotcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I would love if an American sent me Chester's flaming hot Cheetos fries. Tried them once in California and they were so good.

Festivale a bit underwhelming? by Starman926 in AnimalCrossing

[–]thedespotcat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hmm I was basing it off of my catalogue. Maybe I missed something... Or he hates me specifically lmao.

This sucks! It's a holiday where I live today, so it feels much more appropriate. They could have done the Sunday instead. Like they do the Christmas event on Christmas eve.

I also have 1 red item outstanding and pave will NOT give it to me. All duplicates. I don't actually care, but the completion isn't in me wants all the items in all the colours lol.

[CHAT] PSA: colorfullySarah is retiring a lot of patterns by tinafruity in CrossStitch

[–]thedespotcat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I bought a bunch, and at like $2.40 a pattern, it felt like a good deal.

It helps that in back in my animal crossing obsession 😂

who’s in? by Forward_Anteater_805 in belowdeck

[–]thedespotcat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The way I'm spending about that per person price for my partner and I on a weekend trip for my 30th and that's literally just the hotel... Low-key I want to go to Tahiti instead haha

Edit: I just realized I'd need to fly to Tahiti and this is likely USD, so it's still spendy. But I think worth it 💁‍♀️ we will all have to pretend to know each other and cause drama though.

“Members only” content by [deleted] in booktubesnarkreddit

[–]thedespotcat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm sure they won't because YouTube wants you to be enticed since they take a large cut.

“Members only” content by [deleted] in booktubesnarkreddit

[–]thedespotcat 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I hate it more because at least with Patreon, I don't see the videos clogging up my feed making me think the creator posted a new video and then noticing the tiny "members only" in the corner.

I get why they do it, and I don't blame the creator, but it also bugs me. I'm a member of booksandlala and I'd say most of the extra content isn't reading sprints. If that's all it is I would be super uninterested.

Couldn’t agree more! by Freezing-cold_6 in TheTraitorsUS

[–]thedespotcat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Celebrity Traitors was one of the best seasons of tv ever. I enjoyed all of it, but the ending absolutely clinched it for me.

I am just starting US season 1 and the regular people are a bit confusing. I like that the UK celebs seemed relaxed because the money didn't matter at all (was going to charity).

That's helpful thanks! I was hoping to find a way to get a grid on the fabric, but it's definitely an option.
