I’m very curious on this. I personally haven’t, but I speak Gagauz natively as my mother speaks it. I have never met another person in England who speaks it, but I like talking to my mother in it all the time! I wouldn’t be surprised if there are only a couple dozen more people like us in the country, as it is a very endangered language. I hope to bring my children up around it!
Hi guys,
I’m in Japan for a couple of weeks and desperately need products for my shoes such as deodorizer sprays. I can get them tomorrow but desperately need some. I tried looking around Daiso today in Katsushika, but my Japanese isn’t the best and the store was huge, so I couldn’t find any.
Is there anywhere I can get these from? My shoes smell awful.
There's this sweet Japanese girl who is currently studying at my university in England as an international student. We're both in first-year and have primarily talked over text since we do different courses, but we still hang out where we can.
I am extremely attracted to her, but I can't really go through the whole song and dance with having my heart broken when she eventually leaves the country. Is there any way I can just dismiss these feelings?
Hello, all! Hope you’re well on this blessed morning.
Straight-up: Is saying that you're very attracted to women of other races fetishisation? I made a post querying this yesterday and was so confused on the responses I got.
For the record, I'm a 19-year-old white male. The majority of my romantic interests growing up have been black or Asian. I do not know why this is and genuinely don't have any underlying explanation for it. My only actual official partner was a South Asian woman who was originally from Bangladesh. I have genuinely never taken a strong romantic interest in a white lady and I don’t know if this is deemed as wrong, by you guys or others? My first crush when I was like, 7, happened to be a black girl and my attraction just hasn't stemmed off to my own race for whatever reason.
I'm not an ass about it. I can still acknowledge that white women are indeed attractive, I just personally haven't felt any deep connection to one like I have women from other ethnic backgrounds.
So, people here, particularly any women, is this weird? Do I need help or something? I'm becoming super conflicted on this.
I’m gonna be honest, he’s one of the few Fables in the game that I didn’t completely hate at some point. Sure, he was an ass to Bigby, but I always kinda felt like he was evidently a lot more troubled internally than a lot of the other residents. Just seemed like he had much more on his mind and was really just struggling with a way to numb whatever pain he was feeling.
The scene with him, Woody and Bigby in the Trip Trap in Episode 3 is one of my favourites from the series. Feel like it's some of the best development that one of the side characters got.
Hello, all.
I hope you’re doing well. I've always been a believer in God, but I've never really practiced Christianity, but I think it's about time I start paying more attention to my faith. I have no idea where on this path to start. How do we know which denomination to practice? I was taught the virtues of Roman Catholicism when I was younger.
He's from Nigeria originally and he has an incredibly attractive face, perfectly white and straight smile, tall, perfectly lithe and has incredible dress sense. He is, without a doubt, the most attractive man I have ever met. How do I just know that I'm bisexual? Is this something that can happen? You just meet someone who makes you open to the possibility of dating a man?
Hi all,
I'm really interested in getting a pair of the Wayfarer Gen 2's for cosmetic and camera purposes for holidays. I have just a few questions.
1.) Is the public concern about the glasses as big as people online make it out to be? Will I be looked at as a creep for wearing them?
2.) Do you need to be a prescription wearer to get lenses to work? I don't need them for vision purposes but I still want the lenses. What option do I pick?
Hi all,
I'm probably who this sub was made against. I was terrible to my ex after we broke up. We agreed mutually to remain friends and I went on a long drunken rant on her on Boxing Day last year. I see her occasionally and it breaks me every time, especially as she's now with another guy.
It’s been eating me alive every day since it happened. I'm not still not truly over what I did 7 months later. Please just don't try and get over someone by distracting yourself. It will never work. You need to confront the issue directly. I've had a few good cries, particularly yesterday. I was violently sobbing for about an hour, letting the shame eat me up. But I feel a lot better today. It really felt like a true emotional release. I'm on my way to work still not really happy with what I did, but at least content that I can recognise that what I did was wrong.
I'm still so overcome with guilt from going on a drunken rant on my ex in December. It completely ruined me, I saw her with another guy yesterday and I felt completely shattered. It's all my fault. I was kinda selfish, insecure and paranoid, did a lot of genuine stalking on her social media accounts after we broke up for other guys. I dunno what I can do. I'm a total loser.
Whilst listening to some audio, I had an incredibly weird reflective moment where words in our language lost essentially all meaning for a good 30 seconds. As in, the most basic sentence of 'you're a bad person!' made almost no sense to me. I deeply reflected upon the words themselves and why they mean what they do and how we understand them.
Is there a name for this phenomenon? I still don’t think I'm over it.
Hi all,
I'm a 19-year-old student from England. I study Literature and Linguistics at a well-respected institution over here and academically, I do well! I'm one of the top achievers in my class and perform well.
But that's the problem, or part of it. My degree is fucking useless. At least for migrating. I can't do anything with it. Over here, I can at least sell my communicative skills to the job market and I'm already in preparation to train to become a solicitor (someone who practices Law in England) in my 2nd year of study, and that's just as a last-ditch effort to try and make my dream of coming over here perhaps a little more achievable, but is it even worth it?
Everyday, I just wake up miserable. Moving to America has been my goal for years. I've never been good at STEM subjects and was unable to take Maths, Physics or Economics A Level due to my own academic shortcomings. Maybe I should’ve tried harder, but they've never gelled with me. I now feel like I'm paying the price. It's not even that I don’t like my subject, I just know that America is closed for me because of it and it makes me hate it. As well as any other country. Japan was an option at one point, I have an N2, but likewise, no need for people of my academic background over there in the workforce.
So, I need brutal honesty, be as harsh as you want. How can I do it, guys? How can I make this work? I feel so lost and depressed because of this all the time. I always got told to never base my life around my dreams of getting out of England but I did and now I'm stuck. I just really need some advice from people who've either been in my situation or haven't and just know a lot about this stuff! Anything is really appreciated and welcome. Is there anything favourable I can do to upskill myself? Is there any hope? Should I give up?
Thank you in advance.
Hi all,
I'm away from home for academic reasons, but my parents have messaged me informing me that our family cat's tail is dripping of pus a few days after he got into a fight with another animal outside. He's lethargic and I'm scared out of my mind. I have no idea what to do. I'm a student and only have £600 solid cash to my name until fucking September (until I get paid from work at the end of this month), all of my other money is savings for essentials next year. My parents don’t work and are on extremely low income and it’s late at night. Please tell me what services I need to seek out. I have no idea where to turn.
This isn’t a major problem, just something that kinda bummed me out about a recent event I went to.
I recently attended a live in concert event for a film I really like. I had previously went to another show in London and really enjoyed it, crowd were awesome and a lot of cheering was done! We typically don’t get hype audiences like this for theatres in England as you do in America, so it was a really cool change of pace!
This one, not so much. I understand that parents are looking for a form of entertainment to please the kids for a while, but does it have to be something they clearly aren’t interested in? There were a few kids constantly complaining about the noise, scrolling through their phone, etc.
It's not too big of a deal in hindsight, but I think people attending the event and your children would be a lot happier if you opted to do something they actually find fun.
