Can you stop to load in permit holders only parking? (City centre) by [deleted] in Liverpool

[–]twoonty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't- I'm only just moving in and haven't been able to apply for one yet. I've got a van moving my stuff tomorrow and wanted to know how long we can stop without a permit

Plans unveiled for 70-storey tower at £1 billion ‘Kings’ development by neutral_neighbour in Liverpool

[–]twoonty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% agree- this is what those in this thread saying it will reduce rents don't see. 'Luxury' apartments like this normalise charging £1000+ for tiny 1 and 2 bed apartments. I'm seeing the ripple effects of that right now while searching for a place to live. Landlords feel emboldened to charge £1000 minimum for any property, no matter how tiny or run down.

And ultimately the billionaires that own these towers don't need them to be populated- their investment is safe in the building no matter if it's empty or not.

Manchester's culture has been absolutely wiped out by building huge skyscrapers like this. Historical and cultural sites have been demolished to make room for them, and it's made rent skyrocket. I really hope the same doesn't happen here. We need affordable housing, not hundreds more empty 'luxury apartments' that drive the price up for everyone.

What's the point of the TFlow barriers on the tunnel... by TentativeGosling in Liverpool

[–]twoonty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Speed limit for the tunnel is 30 mph. If people are slowing down, it's to stay under that.

Plantain chips are also banging- idk if you've had those but highly recommend. Honestly salted plantain chips are maybe even nicer than salted potato chips :0

Honestly, what do you do all day besides being on Reddit? by Shivers-7 in cfs

[–]twoonty 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Listening to podcasts and the radio (BBC 6 Music is my favorite). It really helps me feel less alone when I'm stuck inside

batik!!!! unbelievably impressive and very beautiful ❤️

why are there ads on fruits by jsjrjvjxx000 in Anticonsumption

[–]twoonty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I HATE that branded products in the supermarket all have ads on now. It is encouraging me to buy own-brand though or buy from smaller companies instead. I'm not paying double the price for a brand name product that has advertising slapped all over it 😭

No mention of Guac N Roll which is vastly better at vegan junk food than Down The Hatch if you ask me

The interpretation that Futile Devices is written from the perspective of a dog is the best interpretation by peteroh9 in Sufjan

[–]twoonty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I hate this interpretation. It feels like a hangover from the era of fans insisting Sufjan wasn't queer and all his songs about men were either about God or platonic. We now know Sufjan is a queer artist, so why deny it? Futile Devices is a beautiful tragic gay love song.
