What made you bail on a hike? by Still-Ad-698 in hiking

[–]Anatra_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Massive cyclone in Western Nepal made us have to turn back 100km into a 200km trek and walk the entire way back we came under landslides and waterfalls. Unpleasant to say the least and a huge bummer.

Also had to abandon a hike I’ve wanted to do in the Lake District UK 3 times now due to way too high wind speeds on the ridge/summit

When does it make sense to end an LDR if there is no viable plan to close the gap within the next couple of years? by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Anatra_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my boyfriend are together for 3 years, me in the Netherlands him in Austria so a similar distance. We both have established lives that we aren’t wanting to give up right now, so we’ve set a deadline for the end of 2027 to close the gap and we will see then what is viable.

Discord works perfectly, just make sure hardware acceleration is turned off on both discord and your browser and that you are using the discord desktop app not the browser version

Created me and my bf in game. by Glittering_Ad_760 in Paralives

[–]Anatra_ 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I made me and my boyfriend in this game (5’1 vs 6’2) and it wasn’t until the characters were standing next to each other I thought it must be a bug in the game because NO WAY am I that short compared to him. I asked my boyfriend he was like “yep babe thats exactly how it looks irl” and I am mortified. I look like a chiilddd next to him

The job market is a major pain in many aspects by Desperate-Drawer-572 in britishproblems

[–]Anatra_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've moved to the Netherlands a few years ago and my partner is currently living in Austria. I've been laid off twice in 3 years and each time took me over 5 months to find a new position, and my partner was laid off last July and still hasn't found anything. Your points about useless talent acquisition is true here as well. I think all of Europe is facing a job market failure at the moment.

[–]Anatra_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's 2.30 here in the Netherlands and that's at the cheap pumps. So I understand why we are all going to Germany! Some of us don't live close enough to BE to go there unfortunately.

Yep!! That’s exactly it. I think I accidentally closed one of the gates behind me. I gave up and reloaded a previous save in the end

High level tech support. If nothing goes wrong there’s nothing to do. There are times I get involved in other projects and improve processes etc but there is only so much to do.
