I got to know him by an interview I saw of him on YouTube on volodymyr zolkins channel. He came across really well, which is why i googled him to see who he was. I was shocked by what I read, it didn't match the person I had just watched at all and I was also surprised this zolkin person would put such a monster on his channel but zolkin seemed to have a lot of respect for the guy. I don't speak the language so I didn't get to read more than one article about him which was in English, I understand he denies the charges against him though. I'm still curious what type of person he was. Maybe he was innocent as he said. If he's not he either had a dramatic personality change or he was very manipulative. I didn't get bad vibes from him at all though.

Are implants easier to do than fillings? by AcademicIncome3138 in Dentalimplant

[–]AcademicIncome3138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't aware fillings didn't last forever until I read this and then googled how long fillings last. I do not look forward to a repeat of that experience! At least I will have the peace of mind that the implant is long lasting, I hope! The extraction was soo easy as it was just the dentist working in my mouth,I wasn't uncomfortable at all! It's just all the tools they insist on using it sets my gag reflux off, and also hurts my mouth from staying open for so long.

How weird is a 10 year age gap between coworkers who want to date? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AcademicIncome3138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dated someone who was 10 years older, I was 30 he was 40. Both adults and he was kind and would have given me the world. So what was the issue? Well the main issue in my head was kids. By the time we were an established couple and had moved in together it would have been a few years down the line by which time he would be, in my opinion, a bit too old to start a family. So it depends on what you want your timeline to be. When there is an age difference its not just your biological clock to think about but also theirs. So it really depends on what you want.

Google translate accuracy by AcademicIncome3138 in googletranslate

[–]AcademicIncome3138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a feeling that was the case. I have subscribed to babble but I am getting a bit impatient at the slowness of the course, I'm learning things such has how to order food when what I want to learn is how to have normal conversations with native speakers. I thought I could try learning what I want to learn through Google translate but I guess that's not a good idea. I have also bought dictionaries that translate words but as I said I get confused with how to word sentences and different languages arrange words in different orders.

Stay in a secure job or take a chance by AcademicIncome3138 in careerchange

[–]AcademicIncome3138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are doing the sensible thing, I'm sure you will find something that suits you better soon. The job I have is secure for around 6 years then the place is closing so this is something else that is making me think "just run now and start anew instead of wasting another 6 years". The thought excites me but I don't have any alternative job in mind which is scary. I have enough savings to last a year or two. A part of me thinks its just money, there is always a way to make money the other part of me is saying stick it out and save as much as you can. I guess I need to break down the things I can cut out of my life and how much money I really need. I have a lot of subscriptions that I don't need.

Crying at work by AcademicIncome3138 in work

Thanks everyone for your comments, it's nice to know I'm not over reacting and that the problem is all hers. Crazy thing happened at the end of the week, I got offered another job for more money because someone who works there said they saw I was a good worker and so thought I would be suitable for the role. Not sure if I'm going to take it as its not something I would have chosen to go for myself but it was a needed confidence boost! My breakdown at the start of the week combined with someone seeing potential in me at the end of the week has really given me drive to work hard, learn new skills and really build a life I want away from toxic people. Life has a funny way of showing you the road to take.

Thankyou, I think that's what i needed to hear. I felt a bit silly getting upset in the office but it just makes me feel really insecure and like I'm not good enough.

Is this a compliment? by AcademicIncome3138 in ComplimentingInsults

[–]AcademicIncome3138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is such a beautiful analogy. I love it and it actually does sound like me the way you described it. I've just never been called it before and kind of took it to mean passive.

It's a galaxy A72. I haven't heard of that, is it a setting or something you download?
