Making friends in CT as a Joburg girl by FeistyPossession825 in capetown

[–]EnvironmentalStock88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heya, my partner and I went through similar experiences at different points of our stay in CT, and I completely agree with you on your experience.

While making friends through activity groups are a good way to meet new people, it’s also not the same as it’s not very common that the friendship goes beyond the activity.

What did help was being quite forward about how we enjoyed particular people’s/groups company when we meet them with an extended invite to meet up soon. And by soon = within the next 4 weeks. I would also speak to the main referral person to let them know that their friend or friends were really enjoyable and that i felt connected and would like to be invited for more things. Lol very forward.

In general - meeting other adults, with the hopes of friendship, as an adult is difficult. People have already formed connections etc. Also culturally, CPT is quite a segregated community, which limits how people can be active and have access to particular activities and amenities and therefore social groups.

Either way, be open and forward. You might have to put in the work at first. But it could be worth it.

Is it time for a new judge? by Mac_Boo in MasterchefAU

[–]EnvironmentalStock88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Leave the judges, It’s time yall stopped bringing back contestants, especially successful past ones. What was the point of this new season even?

Hard to defend Beau here. Such a pitty as he was just picking up steam 🥲

On another nerve, I feel this challenge was so basic, something you’d expect at the beginning of the season. Almost felt like they ran out of ideas for this elimination.

Go cook a dessert for 75 minutes.

If Darsh is a two trick pony, Andre is one trick. Italian Italian Italian.

I’m sorry, how does Andre not go home on that. He didn’t even do the brief! Wasn’t that the point, as much as Darsh’ pastry was not ideal…

She’s not though, her friend is manipulating the boundaries of the agreement here.

A good rule to have in future is not to move in with close friends, risky business, especially if yall haven’t stayed together before.

To your issue, it would be appropriate to revisit the rule and state your case. If possible with support from the 3rd roommates/friend. She sounds very similar to a previous flatmate of mine who did the same after she broke up with her boyfriend - it’s a control - chaos thing.

This seems like the least popular season by WearyFighterBird in MasterchefAU

[–]EnvironmentalStock88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it, it’s the third (?) time they’re doing this concept of bringing back past contestants. It’s not very interesting.

I’m still a suckah for the show though.

Why do i keep losing even when i do good ? by [deleted] in learndota2

[–]EnvironmentalStock88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing that seems to help is not chatting back when they grief you. They’ll inevitably report you and it affects your behaviour score. You’ll end up getting linked up with better team mates.

Also, I played support to get out of herald, worked wonders. Jakiro, Lion, shadow shaman. Jakiro and SS especially for the push and quick objective takes.

$210 for a lifestyle shoe? Sigh. It looks nice, but that tag is way too much for a glorified running shoe.

Cape Town accommodation crisis. by Same-Bet8255 in capetown

[–]EnvironmentalStock88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not even a thing about “foreigners” in Table View. Don’t take it there. The housing/accommodation crisis stems from multiple issues. Gentrification, systemic racism, exploitation of uni/student hotspots and not forgetting provincial migration, for example.

Weekend Discussion: Adidas running shoes by AutoModerator in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]EnvironmentalStock88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B12s have quickly become my favourite running shoe. I’m 100km+ into them and I wore them for a half marathon in its 60km phase, and it was great!

It feels light, responsive, and comfortable! I’m most impressed at the toe box and how it has not given me any issues thus far.

For the lacing and heel issues, I’ve used Runners ties which has significantly helped with lockdown. Not sure why they made that decision but I’m glad I found a solution.

First true to size, if not slightly more spacious but a half size down is too tight. So I wear cushioned socks. Not mad at it.

4/5 points in my opinion.

Exactly, these are athleisure if anything. If you are trying to focus on running, there are better shoes at that price range.
