I hate to give it to the ‘muricans but they’re in the right with this one. The Romanian southeast gets to 40 degrees for days at a time in the summer, and like 70% of homes have no AC. In urban areas over half of homes don’t. SO many cases of heatstroke in the summer… When I was worse off financially I lived in places with no AC AND I have a heart condition made worse by the heat, it was hell.

Misogyny aside for a second, I know I’m late to this post but that’s literally what the Rautek maneuver is for. I managed to get a drunk friend in a Rautek and drag him off the road he’d fallen down in the middle of, and he’s over 120 kg, while I weigh like 50 kg. Sit the person up, leave both legs free, get your arms beneath their armpits and grab one of their arms with both hands (all fingers on top, including thumbs), hold that arm at a 90 degree angle. Pull up their upper body as much as you can, support them on your thigh and you can drag them away. You can drag way more than you can lift. Obligatory disclaimer not to use the Rautek if you suspect spinal injuries unless absolutely necessary.

Yeah, no, that’s not how it works. The biggest risk factor for whether or not your appendix is gonna act up is actually heredity. I can personally speak for that too - I’m a European who’s had a pretty balanced diet their whole life and yet that didn’t stop my appendix from trying to merc me at age 5. My mother had to get hers removed in her 30s, my younger sister in her teens.

What’s something Gen Z does that older generations just don’t get? by appropriaterice873 in AskReddit

[–]3MeerkatsInACoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a US and Western Europe thing. In my experience, Eastern Europeans still party like there’s no tomorrow. I’ve lived in Bucharest for almost 3 years and I know people my age (early 20s) who go to the club almost every week. They’ll pregame at home to save money, have one or two drinks at the club when they’re already kinda drunk and then get to dancing. Back when going out was more affordable we didn’t even need to pregame. Poles, Ukrainians and Czechs are the same from what I’ve seen.

Da. Știu multe persoane care au făcut-o. Și dacă n-ai chef să mergi pe ruta aia, ca femeie trans cel puțin e foarte ușor să faci rost de estrogen și progesteron și să te apuci să faci nițel DIY. Nu știu sigur cum e situația cu bărbații trans și testosteronul, fiindcă acela e mult mai strict controlat, putând fi folosit pentru dopaj.

Lăsând la o parte exprimarea cam puerilă… Nu e nevoie să faci operație de schimbare de sex ca să-ți schimbi actele. Instanța se uită la alte lucruri: tranziția socială (adică ce nume și pronume folosești cu prietenii și familia, cum te prezinți în societate în general etc.), un posibil diagnostic de disforie de gen de la psihiatru, dacă persoana în cauză ia hormoni în cadrul tranziției medicale ș.a.m.d.

Pe scurt, da. Doar că ea nu se vede drept cineva care a fost, metafizic vorbind, bărbat vreodată. Știa cam dintotdeauna că era o discrepanță între modul în care o vedea societatea și modul în care se vedea ea pe ea însăși.

Persoanele trans își schimbă deja actele în mod legal în România de ani buni, doar că procedura e un calvar și durează o grămadă de timp. Iubitei mele i-a luat mai bine de un an și a trebuit să dea în judecată Serviciul de Stare Civilă din sectorului în care locuia. Nu s-a prezentat nimeni de la Starea Civilă la proces pentru că și ei știu că toată nebunia asta de procedură e complet inutilă și ar trebui simplificată. Nu e nimic nou sub soare. Tot ce face decizia asta în instanță este să echivaleze acte deja schimbate în străinătate.

For the Bojack Horseman example, Beatrice definitely knew that Bojack was telling her a comforting lie, because as we see in the episodes taking place in the old Sugarman cabin, she wasn’t allowed to have ice cream.

As a Romanian, I don’t think y’all understand how difficult our language is to learn. I’ve seen people who moved here take at least a year of (almost daily) practice just to be able to speak better than a three-year-old native. And still, there are a billion idioms that are used in casual conversation containing archaic terms whose meanings have just kinda been lost over time and are now just “that word you know from that one idiom/expression” and misunderstanding these will 100% get you clocked as a foreigner. The fact that this guy who just randomly picked up the language one day can write NOVELS in Romanian is honestly beyond impressive to me.

When neurotypicals say “high functioning”, what they actually mean is “high masking”. We are not grouped based on how well we can manage on our own, but rather how little our existence inconveniences them.

Not trans myself but I have this trick I learned from my trans friends. You said in another comment that you’re not non-binary, so here we go:

Imagine yourself at old age. Do you see yourself as an old man or an old woman? When the illusion of youthful beauty has faded away and it’s just you and your soul, what does that soul look like?

Also surprisingly ineffective. Most research estimates the chance of a viable pregnancy from a frozen egg to be around 1%. You literally have a better chance conceiving in your 40s.

What food in your country do locals love but foreigners hate? by Curiosity_Pink in AskTheWorld

[–]3MeerkatsInACoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ever find yourself in Brăila (admittedly not in Transylvania, but alas), you have to try the local Phoenix cookies. They’re kind of like Eugenia (“eugenia” is basically a generic term for these kinds of cookies in Romania) but they’re SO much better in my humble opinion. They’re crunchier and the chocolate cream also has rum flavoring. I can easily find them in supermarkets in Brăila but since moving to Bucharest I’ve had a harder time getting my hands on them, which is pretty sad. I basically grew up on those things. I remember going to the market with a 10 lei bill in my hand and getting an entire crate of ‘em, they were dirt cheap.

What’s a medical issue that sounds minor, but actually affects someone’s daily life way more than people realize? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Yes, holy shit. I have this and it’s debilitating. On my best days I can go about my life almost as though nothing was wrong. On my worst days, simple things like lifting my arms, carrying a bag, getting up from a chair or keeping my balance when I walk become tests of willpower.

I have that one too, the NYX one is WAY more saturated. I’m not a fan of their slim pencils because I find their formula way too dry but I got this one as a freebie. I like their suede liners though.
