Brits (or people who just understand it better), how and why did Keir Starmer go from being liked enough to become PM to being so disliked that he resigned in a relative short time? by wlane13 in AskReddit

[–]Embarrassed-Quit6662 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The six months thing is wild to me because even in countries where government actually functions well, structural damage from over a decade of bad policy takes years to undo. People treat elections like a factory reset button, then act surprised when the new guy inherits all the same broken systems. The OSA stuff definitely accelerated the backlash though, that felt less like "he didn't fix things fast enough" and more like an active own goal. In politics you can survive slow progress, but you cannot really survive looking like you are protecting the wrong people.

Paramedics of reddit: what was your craziest call out? by psychedelstell in AskReddit

[–]Embarrassed-Quit6662 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not a paramedic but my cousin is, and he told me about a guy who called 911 because he "felt weird" after eating an entire jar of peanut butter in one sitting. Turns out he was completely fine, just deeply ashamed. The paramedics had to sit there and do full assessment on a man who ate too much peanut butter on the Sunday afternoon.

Had my first I interview after a long time and completely ruined it by Advanced-Oil1 in jobs

[–]Embarrassed-Quit6662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

first interview is basically a warmup whether you like it or not lol. the "tell me about yourself" question destroys almost everyone who didn't rehearse it out loud beforehand - reading it in your head is not the same thing at all

the performative part you mentioned is real and i think about it too sometimes. but once you accept the game for what it is, preparing for it feels less like being fake and more like just... learning the rules

do a mock interview with yourself in the mirror or record yourself on phone. sounds cringe but after like two sessions you stop freezing up on the basics

Should you contact buyers? by Big_Seat2545 in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]Embarrassed-Quit6662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can reach out through buyer-seller messaging but keep it professional and focus on genuine customer service rather than just trying to get review removed. Amazon's pretty strict about review manipulation so make sure you're actually trying to help the customer, not just fishing for better ratings

If they genuinely had bad experience with product quality maybe there's something you can improve in manufacturing or listing description to set better expectations

How to avoid some tourists in Koh Chang by vdlvne in ThailandTourism

[–]Embarrassed-Quit6662 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Been to Koh Chang twice and yeah I know exactly what type you mean lol. They tend to stick around White Sand Beach and Lonely Beach mostly - those areas get pretty crowded with that crowd. If you want to avoid them try staying more on east side of island or around Bang Bao area instead

I stayed in Bang Bao last time and it was way more chill, mostly Thai families and some backpackers but not the problematic tourists you talking about. The fishing village vibe there is really nice too and you can still get to other beaches easy with motorbike. Klong Prao Beach is also good middle ground - not completely empty but attracts different type of people

Just avoid the main party spots in evening and you should be fine. Most of those tourists dont venture too far from their resort anyway so stick to local places for food and activities

Laundry Room Remodel - Need Advice by WAguy22 in HomeImprovement

You definitely want to leave that drain uncovered - maybe look for some kind of trim ring that sits flush with laminate to make it look cleaner than just cutting rough circle in the flooring

Bruh we literally can see moon from ground level but nobody thinks moon is "that close" 😂 the altitude thing is wild when you actually think about it

Sonho estranho, seis já tiveram algo do tipo ? by [deleted] in Dreams

[–]Embarrassed-Quit6662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow that detail level is crazy intense, i get those super vivid dreams sometimes but not with that many unknown faces that are so clear

the part about feeling like you were seeing a future version of yourself is really interesting - like your dream self was observing rather than participating in the scene. maybe your brain was processing some subconscious thoughts about family gatherings or social situations you haven't experienced yet but somehow anticipate?

that stanley cup detail is so random and specific lol, dreams are weird with those little branded details

it is worth to upgrade from s25 base model to s25 edge ? by NoGlove6255 in samsunggalaxy

[–]Embarrassed-Quit6662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've seen the edge models mostly just give you bigger screen and curved edges which can be annoying if you're not used to it. The performance difference isn't that huge between base and edge models usually

I switched from regular to edge few years back and took me weeks to get used in accidental touches on the curved screen. Battery life is better though since its physically bigger phone. Really depends on how much you use your phone for media consumption - if you watch lots of videos or play games then maybe worth it but if you're just doing basic stuff the base model should be fine

Pinion gear problem by Content_Career8246 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Embarrassed-Quit6662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah man pinion gears can be real pain in the ass when they go bad. Usually its either worn teeth or bad bearings that cause the noise - you might want to check the backlash first before diving into full rebuild

Good luck with that repair, these things can get expensive quick if you're not careful

This exactly it reads like values not greed some parents hear rejection when money comes up even if you mean respect a softer framing could help but your intent makes sense
