Why is life so cruel


All I want to do is find a chippy owned by a deaf person so I can point to the fish supper, then ask for a roll with It, by using sign language.

The way people obsess over Greggs. A sausage-roll, a bit of cold pizza. It’s really not all-that.

I have a few tbh.

1. Why are women prettier than men on average?

2. Why does nearly everything that turns corporate, also turn to crap in quality?

3. Why do Footballers lack big personalities nowadays?

4. Why won't this heatwave go away?

5. Why does the new Fantastic Four Film look so underwhelming?

6. What's with the hype around Sydney Sweeney, Sabrina Carpenter, or Zendaya?

7. Why does Starmer like to ignore his voters wishes?

I'm trying to ponder all of these important questions.

1 .. make-up plus beauty products
6 .. Zendaya is just naturally beautiful

The way pounded yam and afang soup is so expensive. It’s nice and everything and a real blood-tonic but I don’t want to pay £30 for it.

[Redway]

Also: why Nollywood movies like this - https://youtu.be/GQ5IAU45qrM?si=e11a4uTkme8lnvIn - aren’t made anymore, at-least nowhere-near as much. They used to teach lessons. Now it’s just nonsense. I know people have been saying that since the back-end of 2008 (when Desmond Elliot’s over-exposure was popping through and setting the template for too many generic romance-movies) but I’d say the decline’s been terminal since 2011. A few great movies here-and-there, sure, but the majority of it is bilge.

Fair enough.

I personally don't really see it with any of the three tbh, maybe my standards are too harsh?

Especially Sabrina Carpenter, she has what I call the Love Island look, and I do not mean that as a compliment like a lot of people would take it as.

And I do think that Zendaya is an average Actress, and we see so much of her, Sydney Sweeney, and Pedro Pascal when it comes to Hollywood Media coverage lately.

Interesting ..

I get a fair amount of grief for complaining about the increase of women pundits and commentators on men’s matches who completely ruin the whole thing for me … a few suggest I’m being sexist or whatever …

Anyway TalkSport presenter Sports broadcaster Shebahn Aherne has just stated that she and her female friends now watch Match of the Day and other footie programmes because they like Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan ( Yorath) but never bothered when Gary Lineker presented it !!!

It's certainly interesting from Shebahn.

She's not fully thick to say the quiet part out loud (unlike Eni Aluko,) but I've got my eye on her now for possible Misandry.

Especially if she's preferring Gabby Logan to Gary Lineker, that's borderline criminal.

Rewatching Classic Corrie, the casual homophobia of the time from some of these characters - not realising that gay and bisexual men come in all shapes and forms, from musicians, rugby players to brick-layers and aren’t inherently camp - is very unbecoming. Likewise, the Polish-labour storyline doesn’t have every character coming out of it looking good or non-culturally ignorant. These are irritants but since that thread’s still a bit chocka, I’ll post it here.

[Redway]

I can’t stop thinking about how the Aldi on Gateacre Park Drive (in an affluent part of Liverpool) should be a Waitrose. Belle Vale can have Aldi.

The way Marge Simpson’s beehive got longer the older she got.

Tbf, that's actually quite well written as some of these views are held by a lot of people today.

That’s true. But it’s also frustrating to watch. A lot of them don’t seem to grasp the concept of bisexuality being a tangible sexuality in men. You’re either straight or gay and in denial in their book.

As-for Fiz (one of the characters) talking to the first Polish woman hired for cheap labour like a deaf 2-year-old just wasn’t a good look. 2006/2007 wasn’t a good time for many Corrie characters, although Fiz did have her moments. It’s just that her ignorance of certain things was heightened to the point of caricature at that time, to the point where sometimes if you didn’t know better you’d think she was just playing dumb.

TV has always failed to grasp Bisexuality for some reason.

I honestly don't understand why.

Especially in blokes.

Like you say, a realistic depiction of real-life attitudes to sexuality (especially at that time) and the lack of nuance some people have surrounding it as a broad concept but also annoying to watch. But it could be worse. They could be calling for the castration of gay males. There’s always … that alternative. Blatant and extreme homophobia.

Thankfully blatant Homophobia will not be celebrated on our TV Shows in our lifetime I think.

[Redway]

The way Hausa’s assumed to have more cultural relevance than southern-Nigerian minorities (e.g., Ibibio-Efik, Bini, Urhobo) just-because it’s a political majority. The latter might be true but outside of select foods (kuli-kuli, suya, kilishi) and a few other things, that’s not how it works. They’re very-much a socio-cultural minority in the grand scheme of things.

Yep. I know we all have different life-experiences and perspectives but the line’s got to be drawn at blatant homophobia being celebrated. Some people still get irritated at the sight of two gay men kissing (and funny-enough it’s often men they’ve got the problem with doing it, not women, because ‘lesbians are sexy’) but the calls to Ofcom have been gradually fazed down over the years, thank God for that.

Maybe its a generational thing plus what you are used to seeing ..

Many of my favourite singers like Olly Alexander are gay males ( inc George Michael ) … but two guys kissing makes me feel uncomfortable … I have nothing against them doing it .. I just don’t like want to see it
