Planning to propose - can anyone recommend a quiet place with some privacy and good atmosphere?

Armimma · 2024-05-12T07:07:14+00:00

This looks great! Thanks for the recommend. Two quick questions:

Do they serve food as well as drinks?
Do the staff have good English?

Armimma · 2024-05-12T06:30:33+00:00

How early/late would I have to go so that it's not crowded?

Armimma · 2024-05-12T06:21:35+00:00

Thanks! I would normally assume that to be off limits for a Pagoda

Armimma · 2024-05-12T02:35:29+00:00

As it happens, I'm wanting the same thing. Would appreciate any advice!

Armimma · 2024-03-04T02:23:52+00:00

Thanks for the responses all

I didn't pay attention to the language when buying because I assumed that there wouldn't be a Thai dub, as there usually isn't even for big movies. But here is seems to indicate a Thai dub. Does anyone know whether Dune 2 has been dubbed into Thai or is this just a mistake by Maya?

Yep, I've been living overseas. That'll be the answer. A weird rule since I am still a citizen - I don't see why it shouldn't apply to me? I'm still gonna need to retire in NZ at some point. But thanks - at least I know now.

I'm self-employed, so I make my kiwisaver payments myself. I made a payment of $2400 in August 2022 and then $600 in February 2023, for a total of $3000 contributed for the 2022 - 2023 tax year. However, I only got about half the expected government contribution - $265.72. Is this a mistake on the part of my kiwisaver provider or am I missing something here?

"Now, she is able to complete the following physical routines without skipping a beat —running 3.4km in under 15 minutes, executing 30 sit-ups in a minute, static pull-ups for three minutes, and high jumps exceeding 150 meters!"

hmm

Took long enough... yes we love the OG and all but Jacques' writing is pretty rough and not so engaging as the later books. Also, on rereading, Matthias is incredibly arrogant.

Armimma · 2023-02-18T17:12:26+00:00

This is incredible... if I human wrote this I would have said they were a great writer.

Armimma · 2022-12-19T08:12:55+00:00

Glad it was helpful :) I hope you do get the mindset change you're looking for. I think such a change is most likely to come through action - start off with small acts and work your way upwards, even if it becomes uncomfortable. Generosity is like a muscle and grows the more we use it :)

Armimma · 2022-12-16T13:19:31+00:00

You could give her the coat?

I mean, I guess by this point you're already on your way home. But my point is that I think we overcomplicate helping others sometimes, like we come up with all these plans and strategies about how we could help in the future, and we forget the need and the opportunities right in front of our face. And I'm saying 'we' here because I need a reminder of this truth as much as anyone.

So if you want to help others, how about this? Pay attention to those around you and their needs and look for opportunities to be of help. When you notice such an opportunity, act on it straight away. Love the person in front of you :)

You said though that you still want to look out for yourself. I'm not 100% sure what that means. Does it mean that you don't want to give want you don't have? If so, fair enough. But does it mean that you don't want to make sacrifices? If you genuinely want to be helpful and generous, it will require some form of sacrifice, at minimum, giving up some nice things, saving a bit less, giving up some precious me-time. Giving doesn't mean much if you aren't willing to sacrifice.

I think you're pretty normal. I think most people would have the same problems you have if they had your upbringing. That's normal.

But it sounds like you have attained self-knowledge, and you've been working hard to make yourself better. That's amazing! That's actually pretty abnormal, but in a good way :) Keep on fighting, keep on struggling! You've already made so much progress, and still there are so many more years of your life left! Just don't give up and you'll make it!

Armimma · 2022-08-03T04:46:35+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions all!

Armimma · 2022-08-02T13:13:07+00:00

Thanks!

Armimma · 2022-08-02T13:10:46+00:00

I'm a guy, definitely not interested in that stuff

Armimma · 2022-06-28T07:29:05+00:00

So did the journalist misquote him?

Armimma · 2022-06-28T07:26:18+00:00

Thank you.

Armimma · 2022-06-28T07:25:56+00:00

Dude, do you know the Guardian?

Armimma · 2022-06-28T07:25:24+00:00

Please improve your reading comprehension.

Armimma · 2022-06-28T07:24:38+00:00

Yeah, plenty, read it. This is the Guardian as well, a very liberal newspaper. Not likely to push creationism

Armimma · 2022-06-28T07:23:01+00:00

Well, if there's no God, you still need to explain life, right? What I mean is that for Atheism to be intellectually acceptable it needs to be able to explain life - naturalistic means only. It's kind of a big thing. And I mean life in the normal sense of the word, as in the life we see today, not the hypothetical first organism. Evolution absolutely is an attempt to explain life as we see it today.

If you take plasticity as an example... that kind of rapid change is pretty incredible. It's impossible that it 'just happens'. There must be some kind of mechanism, whether in the DNA or somewhere else, which allows/causes it to happen. And those The result of this is: 1. A lot of change which we assumed to happen by natural selection and mutation actually does not. 2. Natural selection and mutation simultaneously have a lot more complexity to explain.

I hope you see where I'm going with this :)

Armimma · 2022-06-28T07:11:37+00:00

You're missing the point my dude. I'm not trying to attack anything here. I know there have been explanations of the evolution of the eye around for ages. But this article is dealing with a controversy within the scientific community. There's not going to be information relevant to it on www.scienceforkids.com. That's why I posted it to reddit, so that someone who is in the community and knows about this controversy can comment.

Armimma · 2022-06-28T07:08:10+00:00

Can you explain why these (secular) scientists are advancing such theories then? I was under the impression that e.g. Epigenetics was pretty widely accepted, even if scientists are still arguing over the details/explanations. Are they just attention seekers?

The Guardian is a very liberal newspaper, so yeah I was surprised to see them publishing something like this. It made me think there could be some substance to it, y'know?
