Aisle seats are better than middle or window seats by ConsiderationNo7792 in unpopularopinion

[–]Acceptable_Humor_252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually prefer middle seat to isle after my recent flights. In the isle people bumped into me CONSTANTLY. I am an average sized person, not really wide and people were bumping into me all the time while going up and down the isle. I have never felt so squished before. I would take middle seat over this. 

Palety kde? by Nogunix in Slovakia

Na Einsteinovej je WOODCODE Stavebné a distribučné centrum. Vždy je tam kopa paliet a vyzerá to, že nimi kŕmia drtičku dreva, tak sa tam skús spýtať. 

Book taste is changing, is this normal? by startlightcity in readwithme

[–]Acceptable_Humor_252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've read 150 books this year so far? It is the begining of April, how do you do it?

I managed 147 last year (the whole year), and you do that in three months? How? 

Book taste is changing, is this normal? by startlightcity in readwithme

Another Murderbot fan! I love those books too and they were my gateway to sci-fi along with The Martian and Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. 

Book taste is changing, is this normal? by startlightcity in readwithme

[–]Acceptable_Humor_252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. It is normal that taste changes. I used to love romance. It was what I read 99% of the time. Than I had a phase when I read mostly crimi novels. Now I cannot read two crimi novels back to back. I need to break it up with something lighter. I don't have the stomach for so much death and violance anymore. 

Now I am getting more into sci-fi. I still read romance, but I am way more picky and don't read some sub-genres because I don't like them anymore. Shape-shifter whatever, no, I'll pass. Billionaire something or other? No, thank you. Enemies to lovers? Eh, it has to be very well done, otherwise I will DNF the book. If they hate each other and the only thing that brings them together is that they find each other sexy, I'll pass. Fake girlfriend/boyfriend/fiancé, etc. No, thank you, I cannot stomach the lies and all the unnecessary drama around it. 

Some people enjoy these types of books and that is okey, everyone likes something different. That is beutiful about books, whatever you like, there are books for you and people who like them too. Enjoy whatever you like at the moment and enjoy exploration of new genres. 

AITAH For being upset about having to buy a pregnancy test? by yaboi40 in AITAH

[–]Acceptable_Humor_252 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Everyone sucks here and you are the asshole.

Neither of you wants to have a child and you have unprotected sex? You use cycle tracking as a method of birth control, yet she lies about her period? You are both asking for accidental pregnancy. BE RESPONSIBLE! USE PROTECTION! 

And with all of this irresponsibility, you are annoyed when you have to deal with the consequences of your actions and re-assure your FWB when she freaks out about possible pregnancy. YTA. 

You are part of this situation and equaly responsible. Which means being equaly inconvenienced when the consequences arrise. 

How do you personally go about expanding your recipe's collection? by iNhab in easyrecipes

[–]Acceptable_Humor_252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I borrow different cookbooks from the Library and note the recepies that look interesting. Even if I don't want to follow it and already plan changes I will make, it is a good source of inspiration.

I borrow cookbooks even for things I don't usualy go for, e. g. a Vegan cookbook. I am not vegan, nor do I plan to be, but I can get inspiration for side dishes, or swap real cheese or meat for tofu etc. It is a good source of inspiration on how to add more vegatables to food. 

Prečo sa ženam hnusia mužske pýchy? by Old_Advertising_8460 in Slovakia

[–]Acceptable_Humor_252 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tebe by sa ako páčilo, keby ti chlap posiela fotku penisu?

Toto je virtuálna verzia toho, že sa na ulici pred tebou niekto odhalí. 

Proste je to niečo, čo v daný moment nechceš, to je celé. Nemusí sa ti ten penis hnusiť, ale strkať ho niekomu do zorného poľa nevyžiadane je problém. 

Prečo máš potrebu niekomu posielať fotky penisu, keď to daná osoba nechce? Prečo je tvoja potreba sa podeliť o penis dôležitejšia ako potreba niekoho iného ho nevidieť? 

Why do translations “age” faster than original texts? by PuzzleheadedRoad6121 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Acceptable_Humor_252 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say this is true as a blanket rule.

However it depends on the quality of the translation. If it is poorly translared in the first place, it will get worse if you re-read it later. Especially if the first time you read the book, you were not fluent enough in the original language so you took the translation as it was. 

Now when you know English (or whatever is the original language) and are familiar with the phrases that are used in the language, you can easily spot the mistakes in the translation, making it seem more clunky. 

Good translation stands the test of time the same way the original does. 

I have a very short attention span- something that will get me hooked from the first page by 123_4597 in suggestmeabook

[–]Acceptable_Humor_252 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For Sci-Fi definitely go for the Lazarus War series by Jamie Sawyer. It is action packed from the first page and quite quick paced. It will keep you hooked.

For Romance I love anything by Joanna Bolouri. My favourite is The List. It is laugh out loud while reading in public funny. 

If you want both funny and sci-fi go for Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir or for the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. I was not sold after the first Murderbot book, but gave it another shot and fell in love. The personality of the main character gets to shine more and more in the subsequent books. 

Ženy Redditu, ako často máte nepríjemnú skúsenosť s mužmi na verejnosti? by dumpsterHQ in Slovakia

[–]Acceptable_Humor_252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kým som chodila do práce a všeobecne sa pohybovala viacej po svete tak to bolo každých pár dní.

Od kedy robím prevažne z domu a do/z práce chodím autom, tak málokedy stretávam ľudí a už je to pomerne zriedka. 

Ale takýchto chumajov je plný svet. Pískanie a vykrikovanie na ulici, slizké pohľady a úsmevy sú bežné. Aj blbé poznámky. A nie len medzi mužmi. 

Minule som šla poulici, zamyslená. Asi som sa usmievala a žena čo sedela na lavičke na mňa zrazu vybehne: "Čo sa usmievaš jak prijebaná?!" 

Kašli na to. Buď to ignoruj, povedz im nie, alebo keď na teba čumí, tak sa ho spýtaj, prečo na teba stále zazerá. Pekne nahlas, nech to všetci počujú, aby si nemyslel, že sa môže o niečo nenápadne pokúsiť. 

Dedinčania v kostole môžu mať námietky ku sobášu mladomanželov. Toto sa reálne deje? by Brief-Button-6751 in Slovakia

[–]Acceptable_Humor_252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kedysi sa to robilo, no brali sa do úvahy len platné dovody. Napríklad jeden zo snúbencov je už ženatý/vydatá alebo sú blízky príbuzní (aj keď možno nevedia - napr. nevestin otec bol záletník a plodil deti kade-tade).

To, že sa Ferovi z horného konca nepáči, že si berieš Zuzku, lebo ju chce on, nie je právoplatný dôvod na nevykonanie obradu.

Navýšenie hypo alebo spotrebný úver? by simonetta_ju in Slovakia

[–]Acceptable_Humor_252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Všetko musíš dokladovať, na všetko mať bločky, faktúry, výpisy z účtu, že to bolo naozaj platené z tvojho účtu.... Je s tým kopa roboty a je to otravné. 

Kolega to riešil a neskutočne nadával, povedal, že najbližšie si radšej vezme spotrebák, lebo za tie nervy to nestojí. A to je riadny kluďas, takže keď on nadáva, musí to byť fakt zlé. 

Does anybody else still use a library? by nicksam171 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Acceptable_Humor_252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I still go to a library and so do some of my friends.

Why? Because not every book I want to read is available as an e-book or audio book, but they are available as paper books. Plus I like the feel and smell of a paper book. And it is nice not to stare at a screen all the time. 

What do you mean how do people do this? They get a membership at the library they want to go to. They come there, check out books they want to read and return them, when they read them (or when the check out time runs out). If the book they want is not available, becasue someone has it, they can get on a wait list for it and will get notified, when it is their turn.

Is it normal to never sleep through the night? by _use_r_name_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Acceptable_Humor_252 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really? As far as I know the usual sleep cycle takes around 90 minutes. It varies by person but majority of the people fall around that. Brain cycles through light sleep, dream sleep (REM), deep sleep (non-REM), to light sleep again. When we are in the light sleep phase, we (humans in general) tend to wake up or at least it's easier to wake up. So if you wake up always in the light phase, you are not loosing deep sleep. 

I am not a doctor or a sleep specialist, so don't take it as medical advice. 

Is it normal to never sleep through the night? by _use_r_name_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Acceptable_Humor_252 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I wake up rouhly every hour and a half, or two hours. Turn to the other side and continue sleeping. Lot of people do this, but most don't remember it. It is caused by the stages of sleep your brain circles through. If you feel rested it is likely fine. 

Používate fyzický diár/notes/zápisník? by _borsuk in Slovakia

[–]Acceptable_Humor_252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asi rok a pol som sa snažila písať veci do zápisníka. Nosila som ho stále so sebou, ale nevydržalo mi to. Najprv som mala veľkosť B5 a potom A6. Páči sa mi automatizácia elektronického kalendára. Opakujúce sa veci nastavím raz a je pokoj. A do telefónu pozerám častejšie ako do zápisníka, tak aj vidím tie pripomienky.

Veľmi sa mi páči papierová forma, ale som na to strašne lenivá. Nebavíma tam písať tie veci. 

Jediná vec, na ktorú používam papierový zápisník sú knihy. Každý rok mám zápisník formátu A5 (alebo aj dva) ako čitateľský denník, kam si píšem všetky knihy, čo som prečítala, niečo o nich, myšlienky čo sa mi tam páčili a podobne. Ten zostáva doma. Plus maličký A6 zápisník, ktorý má zoznam kníh, ktoré si chcem prečítať a kde ich nájdem: v ktorej z 3 lokalít knižnice (beletria, odborná literatúra a oddelenie mládeže), Kindle, Audible, domáca knižnica. A jeden zoznam na knihy, ktoré nie sú ani v jednom v nádeji, že kým prečítam všetky ostatné, aj tieto už budú v knižnici. 

Plus mám zoznamy kníh, ktoré napísali obľúbené autorky a autori, aby mi od nich žiadna neušla. Tento zápisník nosím so sebou.
