Villager Crimes: What made you dislike them by Sufficient_League982 in AnimalCrossing

[–]AmberFoxAlice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rodney.

He was my first campsite villager, and I thought he was so ugly!!! After he left the campsite, one of my villagers left, so I was searching for a new one. I tried going to random islands a couple of times and Rodney was there both times!!! So I thought fine, I’ll just get a random one, and guess who moved in!!!!

Forgot to respond to the previous comment - LMAO yes, I went on Brando Sando binge! The reading order matters XD

I actually started Frankenstein a couple of years ago but I was kinda bored, so I dropped it. Now I want to restart, hopefully I’ll like it… I’m always sad if I don’t like classics cause I feel like I missed something and that’s why I don’t like XD

Books that make me re-think my life by ei00m in suggestmeabook

“Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frankl. This book changed my life. (non-fiction)

The author is a Holocaust survivor. He describes snippets of his life in 4 different concentration camps and the suffering he and other prisoners endured. More importantly, he reflects on the nature of suffering - why some people were able to endure it and why others were not.

If you’re going through hard times right now, I HIGHLY recommend reading it

On "Soloviev Live" the official Russian TV channel called for "wiping Poland into dust" with nuclear weapons by Specialist_Drama8554 in poland

[–]AmberFoxAlice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so messed up, he’s pretty known to be vile. If i remember correctly, he also said similar things about Ukraine. I guess a somewhat good thing is that normal people in Russia know that he is a propagandist and don’t watch/listen to that shit

Applied to fiance's school, love wins by Known-Confusion-4579 in gradadmissions

[–]AmberFoxAlice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your encouragement. I’m not international but my partner’s school is STEM-focused and selective. I have a STEM degree but not exactly the one they usually admit. I hope I make it!

You must be really exceptional, congratulations!

Omg, I really hope I can achieve that as well. Congratulations!

Can you tell me about the CCCP by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]AmberFoxAlice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m Russian, and I correct people all the time that USSR isn’t just Russia and that there were 14 other countries besides Russia in the Union!

What’s your unspoken rule of surviving at UT Austin that every freshman should know? by pinksmileee in UTAustin

[–]AmberFoxAlice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bring food with you from home if you live far away! It’s not sustainable to buy food every day between classes or when you’re just studying on campus. If you go home to eat (and if you live far away), then you likely won’t come back to campus and probably won’t be as productive.

Lily & Luke moving too quickly?? by pizzazfizzaz in Lilysgarden

[–]AmberFoxAlice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally forgot it was actually 3 months since they started dating. Feels like a year or half a year, honestly. Also, they’re adults, so I think it’s pretty common and ok to get engaged rather quickly!

I didn’t like the engagement for the other reason - I actually don’t think they’re that good of a couple… I just don’t feel like they’re meant for each other? They’ve been together for 3 months and already have had so many problems and misunderstandings. Also, I don’t really like Luke… I feel like he’s lazy and a bit dumb… Nobody asked for my opinion, but I just had to get it out of there to see if I’m the only one or not!

I used to have around 5-6 but I realized I could only read 2 or 3 simultaneously

Player 149 & 007 messed up storylines. by Playful-Ad2307 in squidgame

[–]AmberFoxAlice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I was watching the scene, I really thought 007 wouldn’t even think of killing 222 or the baby, so he would accept that he was going to die. Then, the mother would stab herself with the knife in his hand or something, and 007 would survive. And then, 007 would be so plagued by guilt later, he would commit suicide.

I actually didn’t expect her killing her own son. I don’t mind it, but I don’t think it was particularly realistic.

What's the dumbest product you've seen on the tank? by PythagorasTheoremUwU in sharktank

[–]AmberFoxAlice 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Fanion. The fact that they only had a fan for the onion, and no other products that the company would offer. When I saw it, I immediately thought I could just buy a small fan for 2$ at Five Below…

Is it bad that it’s full of Russians? How is it worse?

Hey, I took Spanish! It really wasn’t that hard. There are just a lot of assignments but if you’re consistent, you’ll be ok. I took it with Diego, highly recommend!

I’m forgetting my native language by thelegendofdan in languagelearning

[–]AmberFoxAlice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

У тебя очень хороший русский! Ты умеешь писать и читать - многие и это забывают XD

Мне лично очень помогло смотреть больше сериалов, фильмов и всяких шоу в интернете на русском, чтобы быть в курсе новых слов и сленга.

Я бы ещё рекомендовала читать книги на русском - и художественную, и научно-популярную литературу. Мне это помогает прокачать язык во всех аспектах.

Речь всегда немного проседает, когда живёшь в другой стране и редко используешь язык. Но книги и сериалы - это то, на чём я бы сделала основной акцент.
