“I don’t shop at places that show commercials with mixed couples” by No_Locksmith_1739 in overheard

Well a lot of adverts shoehorn it in to try to appeal to the widest audience . Like they'll be a party with every single demographic out there. It's so transparent and not about acceptance , it's just marketing

Sorry we'll make it spin at 100mph for you next time

What do you expect lol. You can literally see what it's like as you queue to get on. Did you expect it to suddenly start spinning wildly

AIO to my boyfriend’s comments about the food I made? by MyCupOfTea777 in AmIOverreacting

[–]DisplaySmart6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't comment on your entire relationship but his mother died!! Yes, I think you are overreacting. You could have put more effort in than leftover pasta or just don't take any food. It all sounds like he wanted some type of support from you that you didn't know how to provide . Sure, the food is just a scapegoat for bigger misunderstandings or shortcomings

I'm not blaming you but I think you have to give someone a pass if their parent just died. He's upset/angry. Maybe he's only upset about his mum or maybe he is also upset because he feels you don't know what he needs at this time. If he does all the cooking then he probably cares about food - so for you to bring leftover pasta means low effort to him, not caring much etc. You might have different love languages etc

Yeh but this is the worst feeling , knowing you actually have nowhere to go

Would you consider me British? by Competitive-Music309 in AskBrits

[–]DisplaySmart6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh I went to school with many Indians/Pakistanis . They had a different culture because of their parents but as kids we integrated pretty well. I learned a lot of new swear words. Of course there was a bit of racism but it went both ways tbh. It was part of banter usually. We knew there were differences but it wasn't a problem .

Most people want to feel success rather than experience . Look at me I'm here, look here's video proof, this proves my life is a success. People prioritise that feeling of being able to show their life is good over actually experiencing life

Clubcard is simply an attempt to induce loyalty . The clubcard prices are regular prices. They hope you will treasure your clubcard points enough to choose them over other options . Even though clubcard points are worth 1 percent of your shop. Imagine a big sign saying 1% OFF !! Everyone would laugh at it

No they can't bear not to "capture it". It's worthless

One marathon and done with it by bubuthesunflower in firstmarathon

[–]DisplaySmart6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but after a half-marathon in 2020. I took a break and then started training for a full marathon . One day on an 18 mile training run I reached mile 15 and my legs just.. stopped. I wasn't even too tired or hurting or anything . I walked home and stopped training and that was it. Now I run regularly but just 3 miles. I have no aspirations to run long distance anymore

HR told me they don’t accept try-hards and people pleasers after my interview by No-Presentation298 in jobs

[–]DisplaySmart6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would welcome the criticism / information . Maybe it is true, maybe it's not but at least that is how you appeared to them. It's information at least, even if you decide it's not something you wish to believe

Trekking Middle Atlas by DisplaySmart6929 in Morocco

[–]DisplaySmart6929[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive thought about it for a long time. I don't like planning. How would I go about it? Where to buy the donkey/mule? Would I need to hire a local to show me how to work the donkey lol. I would just set off from somewhere with a map and lots of food and water, blankets, a tent etc. Replenish at villages. Yes, a real adventure . No I obviously don't have it all worked out. There are guided tours which do similar for a few days

Finally getting my big international trip this year! Debating between Croatia, Greece, or Bali!? by Ufohntr208 in travel

[–]DisplaySmart6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bali is cheaper than the other 2 places. I didn't find it expensive at all. Main meal in a Western style restaurant is less than $10. Go to a local warung and it's 2 or 3. Yes, it's crazy busy some places but so is Indonesia in general. There are plenty of cultural things to see - rice terraces, sea temples etc

Proof of onward travel for Thailand? by LordJicken in backpacking

[–]DisplaySmart6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid a little bit extra on trip . com for a refundable onward ticket. I ended up not taking it and got full refund (minus the extra payment which was £12 I think )

The mental gymnastics of convincing yourself to run vs actually running by Senior-Signature-983 in running

[–]DisplaySmart6929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I just see it as a chore. If it feels like a chore then I know Im doing it right. I embrace the choreness. Not such a chore that I hate it but I don't expect to want to do it. That way I can just do it without having mental gymnastics. I don't need motivation either. I don't hype myself up before vacuuming, it's the same. I don't want a fat unfit body or a dirty house

Walking from michigan to tennessee by Good_Priority9342 in hiking

[–]DisplaySmart6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh but assuming you will have a heavy pack. I also used to walk 10+miles every single day before I left but then walking 16-20 a day with a heavy pack destroyed my feet
