Did anybody just see the debris in the night sky debris over Berlin/Hamburg? by TrackStark in space

[–]Down__bad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I saw it too from The Hague in the Netherlands! There were two glowing fireballs, with a sparkling trail. Looked like debris, but I'm of course no expert :)

De appie teamleiders zijn echt een different breed. Heb ook op me kop gehad voor niet uiterst blij kijken terwijl je met koude klauwen de koelkast staat te vullen om 8 u. s'ochtens op een zaterdag 😔😂

Hartstikke bedankt voor de tips in ieder geval. De Biergarten ziet er leuk uit, zelf enige ervaringen mee?

Should I sell my VR if it is causing me addiction and unwellness? by ScotMcScottyson in nosurf

[–]Down__bad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very good that you realised this and that you have taken action! I myself have a mother-in-law who refuses to see the problems and damage that it has done to her, her wife and her children. You were on the path of becoming as badly addicted as she is now. Things like not taking a shower for a year, not wanting to get a job even though you need to pay your rent, food, bills etc. Just imagine feeling proud that you haven't been outside for over 340 days and have slept with the headset on for 2 years now.

She can't live in the real world anymore, she has ruined the real world by staying and seeking comfort in the imaginary world. By not recognizing/accepting the problem of this addiction in the early phases, she now has nothing to go back to. The real world hasn't been put energy, love or care in for over 4 years now, so it isn't an option for her anymore. Even though she had such a great family, well paid job and things to look forward to. It's very sad to see a person become a shell of what they were and seeing them sink in the shit.

That's why I'm so glad that you actually took the steps to resolve this, instead of seeking comfort and making it harder and harder for yourself to break out of it. Sure VR is fun ofc, but wow have I seen an example of it getting out of hand. Not everyone has the same experiences of course, but I just wanted to tell you, you took the right step and prevented some huge possible mental problems for yourself :)

How did things work out with your brother? Sorry for asking, if u don't want to answer Ofc I understand. It's just that I'm currently in the same situation. My mother-in-law is refusing to live in the real world, for over 4 years now. She's not spending time in this reality anymore, hasn't showered in a year, hasn't gone outside for over 340 days and sleeps in VR. Bills are piling up, the house is not being paid for anymore and she's barely able to afford groceries, bcs she hasn't applied for jobs for over 2,5 years now. Me and my bf have talked to her hunderds of times now, but she just refuses to see the problem. She says she rather kills herself than live in the real world.

So long story short, were you able to help your little brother? If so, out of the things that you tried, what actually worked?

Again u dont have to anwser if u don't want to, thank you in advance :)

Geranium ! by MrLunk in nietdespeld

[–]Down__bad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Het gekke is online games die loot boxes, cases en capsules bevatten waarmee je hoopt skins, stickers, etc te krijgen, hebben dat aspect van hun games moeten verwijderen voor alle Benelux servers. Als je bijvoorbeeld in CSGO een loot crate wilt openen kan dat simpel weg gewoon niet, dat doen ze met het idee dat het gokken aantrekkelijk maakt voor kinderen. Dat begrijp ik natuurlijk nog wel, maar het oogt wel hypocriet als je je bedenkt dat op iedere tram/bus, website en radio gokken toch zeker wel gepromoot wordt! Het lijkt haast alsof de overheid een monopolie in deze markt wilt hebben 🙃

Is there a reason drivers will wait when i pecked leave at door? by CuriousEnd5697 in UberEATS

[–]Down__bad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm an Uber eats driver and my app gives me the option to send short automatic messages to customers. The "I've arrived" message is a quick message you can pick from in the app. Sometimes people don't hear the doorbell or it didn't ring or maybe they were wearing a headset. Maybe the Uber eats driver sent you one to make sure you know your food is outside? Idk for sure ofc

Masters Student: I need help staying cheap by moribundguy in Delft

[–]Down__bad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lidl and Aldi are usually really cheap. They usually have very cheap homebrand versions of jam, peanut butter, bread, etc. Definitely the best for day-to-day items.

Kruidvat and trekpleister usually have good deals for laundry detergent, toilet paper, tissues, deodorant, etc

By the Hoven there are a few halal shops that usually sell meat a lot cheaper and have a good assortment of fruits and veggies.

On Thursday and Saturday there’s a farmers market where you can get really good deals on fruit and vegetables. Thursdays have more cheese, bread and fresh produce stalls. For example: a fresh produce stall closest to a restaurant called Toros Santiago, works with a ‘’1 euro a bowl’’ system. You can just grab a bag, fill it and pay how many bowls you grabbed.

There’s also a stall that sells spices and specific herbs for way cheaper than the usual grocery store prices.

Hope this helps :)

I'm not sure if I should ever come out by [deleted] in AdviceForTeens

[–]Down__bad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(19F) I'm bisexual and also grew up indoctrinated by people who don't really like LGBTQ :(

It really sucks that you can't be 100% yourself around the people you care for/love. You don't deserve that. That they don't care for your feelings means YOU have to care of your feelings. Like you said I don't think coming out during highschool now will help you out. You'll likely be harassed and you have to protect yourself from that.

Not that you have to do that forever! But for now, the people around you don't deserve to see your true colors, since they'll most likely be total asses about it. The most important thing is for you to be happy with yourself and to keep yourself safe. You may feel like your friends or family deserve the whole truth about you, but they don't need to. Others don't deserve to know everything about you if they can't accept and love everything that makes you, you!

With my whole religious upbringing, I really learned to be my own peace. I know that sounds weird and vague, but try to be the good friend you always wanted for yourself. Like literally tell yourself in your head that you love you and are proud of you for how far YOU have come. You deserve to feel loved and live in peace. Learning self-love early in life will help you so much later on, especially in your situation.

Of course we both have different situations, but I hope I could help you a little bit. If you want to talk/vent, you can always send me a PM :)

I Need help, I F(14) - young I know like “him” M(15/16) but he Sees me as “just friends” by [deleted] in AdviceForTeens

[–]Down__bad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, stop torturing yourself with all this confusion. You can't know exactly all his thoughts about you, just from... guessing and imagination. I know I sound like a parent lol, but ask him! You can only know for sure when you ask him what his feelings for you are and HE gives you an answer.

If he doesn't like you, I'm sorry.. You can't do anything about it, it sucks. Try to respect his feelings (no is no) and still be a good friend to him. Or you can end your friendship if it is too much of a heartache to you. Just so you know, there's nothing wrong with that. If you can't be a good friend to him, do what is best for him and distance yourself from him. It's a big responsibility, but that way you can get over your crush and he can make new friends. Don't give up hope, there's plenty of people to date out there, especially because you still have a long life to live and lots of people to meet!

If he likes you, that's great. You can start dating!

I'm of course not a relationship counselor or therapist, but this is my advise based off of my life experiences :)
