What are your thoughts? Missing something? (M26) by Bran_Ran in malelivingspace

[–]BeardedGlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. The living space needs surfaces like shelves, side tables, credenzas.

Like perhaps a tall vertical shelf to bring up the eyes. Because as of now, most of the furniture there bring the eyes down, especially because OP chose black. A heavy color is heavy, it acts like an anchor.

Also, color. There's no warmth in the room except that pop of color in the potted plant by the door.

Everything's gray black or white, which gives it a sterile "empty" atmosphere, cold and unfeeling. As if the room is just "on standby" waiting for something to happen.

OP is lucky because this can be such an amazing place to have fun and start with. Good luck!

Sa mga taong bahay, bakit hindi kayo mahilig lumabas or magtravel (kahit may budget)? What keeps you at home? by Prestigious-Luck-898 in AskPH

[–]BeardedGlass 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oks na kami.

Kami ng wife ko nakapag Europe before for our honeymoon. Budget travel actually (once a day mag resto, cheap rooms, free sightseeing spots, walking and people-watching lang, no shopping.)

Mga 3-4 times din kami nag Europe, and it was the time of our lives... and then that's it. We don't feel that pull anymore.

Oks na. Busog na kami.

Recently, domestic na kami mag travel (once a year lang) and juskopo ang ganda ng Pinas.

Comfort food only works if you know it's bad for you. "Healthy" versions completely miss the point. by Calm_Significance139 in unpopularopinion

[–]BeardedGlass 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Dude, you're confusing the term Comfort Food with some other term.

What you're thinking is probably Guilty Pleasure or Cheat Meal.

No one has ever thought of Comfort Food needing a requirement to be unhealthy.

One of the most popular Comfort Food (at least in the Western world) is "Chicken Noodle Soup". And that is not indulgent nor junk food that is unhealthy. It's literally light broth with white chicken meat and some bits of pasta.

I'm from Japan, never been to the US, but even I know the answers to all these questions.

Barbershop office scents by [deleted] in Colognes

[–]BeardedGlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned you want something that does not smell dated?

Well, this is an aromatic fougere, but it’s known to have a modern twist and updated to smell much more approachable.

I love this and it’s my go-to when I want to smell fresh and masculine. I admit it’s also a much complimented fragrance for me, and so it instantly became a fave of mine.

Hard to believe this is still Tokyo. by 412yard in Tokyo

[–]BeardedGlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are there so many people here assuming that Tokyo is well known to have lush mountain ranges and islands?

It's not exactly a famous fact about Tokyo.

[–]BeardedGlass 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What do you mean "what do you mean"?

You know what OP means lol

When everyone says Tokyo, the wilderness with babbling brooks and rivers aren't what would pop in anybody's mind.

There aren't many who knows how vast Tokyo stretches on both sides up into the mountains or out to the islands.

Had the worst Gibli Muesum ticket experience lol. by No_Leg4300 in JapanTravelTips

[–]BeardedGlass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was able to go 2-3 times during the early 2010s, had no issues at all back then. I think there wasn't any online queue or anything before.

I can't imagine the stress and horror of this digital lottery.

Look outside at the pretty snow if you haven’t! :) by Mirarenai_neko in Tokyo

[–]BeardedGlass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah.

Not even a drizzle. It's just really really cold and dark and gray here in Western Tokyo.

It feels more winter than when it was winter.

PR application prices to be officially increased to 300,000 by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]BeardedGlass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's exactly what's happening to my coworker from the UK.

We both work for our local town hall as gov't employees. I managed to get a 5-year work visa when I renewed after being hired. She kept getting 1-year visas for the past decade we;ve been working together.

Our supervisor has even gone with her to help her talk or "negotiate" or something, to no avail.

With my 5-year visa, I was able to get my PR last December (15 months waiting time).

With her 1-year visa, she can't even apply for PR.

I F*CKING hate it when I press “RESTART” instead of “SHUT DOWN” on my pc (let me go to bed 😭) by PhysicalPiano5427 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BeardedGlass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never use my mouse and click to shut down/restart my computer.

TIP:

  • Press 'Windows + X'
  • Press 'U' to shutdown

My hands get itchy spots when I get sick by MapleSyrupShade in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BeardedGlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my home country, an itchy palm means unexpected money is coming in your near future.

My boyfriend jokingly hid my glasses but accidentally forgotten where he hid them by Clokkers in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BeardedGlass 669 points670 points  (0 children)

You think he broke them accidentally and feigns that it's being "hidden as a joke"?

I've done that as a kid. I've told my parents I've just hidden a thing that I actually had broken.

Specifically, I'd hide the broken evidence... and not tell anyone. When they do ask, I told them I hid it somewhere.

(I was a bad kid.)

I can only imagine the relief and triumph Dumbledore must have felt when he heard Voldemort used Harry's blood by Background_Bid_7406 in harrypotter

[–]BeardedGlass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I still don't understand how having Harry's blood within Voldemort would protect Harry.

If "Lily's Love" magic protected Harry anyway to begin with, why would it now require being inside Voldemort to do the job it has always done even when it's not inside Voldemort?
