This is the problem. There's a housing crisis throughout the country, and it's very bad in my county. I don't have any money to move elsewhere, and I can't seem to save up enough. My price range would be on the lower end, but I need to upgrade to a 2 bedroom. There's hardly any that match my criteria and limited price. If/when I do find a place, I'll have to work some lengthy notice on account of having been in this shithole for 2 1/2 years now. Then, I have no transport to move house, and no one to help me move my shit either. It's all fun and games for me.
Sounds similar to private renting around here. I lived in squats in the 70's that were way way better, 8 years of austerity and if you aren't a tory voting property owner you get; No rights, no way of making your landlord sort his shit out, no options, no money, no choices, decaying health services, no access to civil justice, shit credit rating, no dental care, rampantly abusive employers, no union representation, no rights at work, less money than you did 10 years ago, CCTV on every corner, a totally retarded bunch of freaking cretins utterly failing to do anything sensible in the mother of parliaments and an opposition party that is even more shit than the government. Don't even mention Brexit, that really gets me cross. Eight years of incompetent Tory austerity and all we have to show for it is pot holes and poverty. Just in case you wondered, I'm actually having a really good day, this shit just pisses me off more and more as I get older. Actually, maybe it's the cheese that's making me cranky, Hmmm, interesting, I'll eat some more and let you know.
This part made me laugh, so thank you for that. Good to know I can still laugh when I feel like utter shite.
Where, exactly, do you live? What part of what country (of what planet, if applicable)? You talk a lot about your living arrangements and I have no idea what you're referring to.
So I found out that the Witcher TV series is calling for a non-white child actress to play Ciri. I don't have trouble with diversity in acting, but that is conditional to whether or not that is contextually accurate. Nilfgaard and the Northern Kingdoms are based on Europe as far as the book discussions can make out. To make the heir of multiple kingdoms in a northern hemisphere a clashing ethnicity is going to break my suspension of disbelief.
It's like when political correctness ran amok with Annie. I don't care what people say, Little Orphan Annie Spoiler has neither irises nor pupils!
Annie has more leeway because she's an orphan, a modern version could portray her as someone who lost her parents in a gang-related warfare and it would make sense for her to have African American heritage. Similarly, the Major of Ghost in the Shell only has a part of her brain left as biological material. She could have skin like a chameleon's for all I care. Ciri's striking natural features are green eyes and ashen hair, yes, Storm from X-men is of African descent and has white hair, but green are a rare, recessive eye colour.
I assume you bring this up because of the backlash about her not being Japanese. I think it actually makes sense because Spoiler: Ghost In The Shell spoilers they didn’t want her to know who she really was. They clearly knew she was having flashbacks as they were giving her drugs to try to suppress them. If the face she saw in the mirror resembled a face she saw in a flashback, it might make it more likely she would recognise herself and remember who she was. So making her Caucasian made sense.
The last part did crack me up. I dunno, does it feel like when one talks about these things you are not far from walking on eggshells? It's like I'm seeing black and white thinking and while there's shades of grey in front of me.
I feel that pain. The movers broke the cable for the sensor on my Wii and I've been in a mood ever since.
Interesting. I would have said the same, but I would have said you were the one not seeing the shades of grey. What are the shades you're seeing in the casting call that you think others aren't seeing?
It tastes like I made the coffee with that very same water box. Just add in some feral ghoul saliva for that added bitterness. >_>;
Well, that explains it then. Clearly the feral ghoul in question is the ghost of a cat! Only, that wasn't saliva... Hence the name some people call bad coffee.
Decorative kitchen anythings. You know, things like porcelain chickens that take up precious counter space, knife blocks without removable knives, and most egregious, decorative cloths and oven mitts that hang tantalizingly close to dangerously hot items reassuring you that, yes, they will protect you from that scalding mass of cast iron. When in reality you would have been better off bare handing it, because then not only will you be in searing pain, but you also won't have to be pulling blobs of melted nylon from your blistering flesh.
