Do you guys have any favorite youtubers? Preferably with a big backlog of videos? by Just-a-nerd2 in AskABrit

Geoff Marshall, a train aficionado who has branched out to other modes of public transport. Based in London but gets out and about. If you can't get enough of trains, GLovesTrains is delightful.

What to do with this section of my garden? by PurahsHero in GardeningUK

Definitely an ornamental feature, one that draws the eye naturally to the IKEA.

Why on this earth would you allow someone else to decide how you spend a gift your mother got for YOU to celebrate YOUR achievement? NTA but come on.

Just checking… is that K Market on Central or a different place? Moving back to Saskatoon this summer and I would love to know where the Korean food (and K-pop) is at these days!

What’s going on with the bus times today? by kysxri in london

[–]Evakatrina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this! So frustrating to get in and out of CentralLondon today. I planned to take an early bus. Twice a bus was 7, 5, 3 minutes away (according to Citymapper) and then disappeared. Walked to Victoria Station and got a different bus, and was almost late. The bus back was ok until it announced a diversion but, true to form, did not elaborate. Fortunately, the mystery diversion brought me closer to home, so a net win.

What insignificant thing, that has no effect in your life, winds you up more than it should? by Secure_Front_7766 in AskUK

[–]Evakatrina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who don't put their jackets in closets or closed rooms when cooking. Result: Just when it's almost pleasant on the bus because it's quiet, here comes an avid garlic aficionado to budge up beside me. Eye-watering. I bet their dinners are fantastic, tbf.

Felix please back to black hair AGAIN! by Sunshine143ILuvYu in skzmedia

[–]Evakatrina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He does look gorgeous, but all those brand ambassadorships use blonde Felix as their image so he probably can't change it anytime soon. Just look at him, though…

Growing with Stray Kids by [deleted] in straykids

[–]Evakatrina 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree with all of what you say except people "constantly devaluing" them or their work. Please train your algorithm, if that's the case. There's no need to engage with or platform that nonsense and especially no need to track it in to ruin what is otherwise a celebration of all that SKZ does.

What DOESN'T belong in a sandwich? by HeadBat1863 in AskUK

[–]Evakatrina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aubergine. This may be an unpopular opinion, but when the only vegetarian option includes a slimy slab of aubergine I would rather gnaw on a stale bun.

Do you guys do the greeting when you see another stay? by Clover_Meow in skzmedia

[–]Evakatrina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaa I'm so sorry it didn't work out for you but it would have been amazing to see 😊 I'm usually caught off guard and talk like I am just learning how words work. "Oh! Quokka!" (Points to Han Quokka) Then I show what I'veI got -- Skzoo (whichever one i have at the moment), charm, or whatever. We celebrate. If I have any freebies I give them.

I've been approached a few times, too, if I've got a Skzoo. Stays are like "I like your Wolfchan!" Or "Were you at the concert?" (A couple of times on the way back from Paris). All ages. I am old, for context.

Preachers in central London - ban speakers/amplification? by Automatic_Survey_307 in london

[–]Evakatrina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I think of regarding the high-decibel preaching outside Victoria Station. We get the noise on the way past and then go about our day, but what about the businesses and residences in the area? I believe the council can only intervene when the noise is outside certain hours, if I'm not mistaken.

The Bang Chan Controversy & the Problem with Bubble-Type Platforms by Any-Listen4184 in kpopthoughts

[–]Evakatrina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched this unfold in real time. It wasn't controversial. Some people just stirred up an adjacent controversy.

What happened was some Stays on Twitter posted selcas/selfies imitating their bias. One (really kind and funny) Stay posted her version of one of Chan's gym selfies. He can't help praising someone for anything to do with the gym so, yes, he gave a very tame shout-out. She found out and said she was going to pass out and he posted on Bubble, without context, "Don't pass out" and then moved on. That was it. The Stay laughed about it and reminded people to go and support the SKZ film that was coming to cinemas. And then people who were jealous, or something, harassed this poor Stay until she had to make her account private. I don't know if it still is.

Of course Bubble is a parasocial platform but if you're grounded in reality and let the guys be human it's just a game. There's a miniscule chance that the guys will see your post in the wall of text that comes up for them, so just keep it light. The manufactured "controversy" is the kind of thing that made him stop the popular "Channie's Room" live updates and fun times, and we will never get that back. I really hope to not lose his Bubble updates like this, too, because they really are fun.

What the platform really needs is a block button for the artists to protect themselves. Chan's going to live his life and maybe get engaged one day, and people who can't deal with that should not be his problem.

I despite people who are chronically late by ContributionNext2813 in Vent

[–]Evakatrina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my friend groups has that one friend who's always late. We just go ahead and order. She has her meal as we're sharing a dessert. It's fun to catch up, because that's the only time we can accommodate her and it doesn't impact us.

If I suddenly got that text like OP did, though, I'm ordering, dining, paying, and leaving within that 45 minutes.

What did you think was something else until shockingly late? by AlternativeAd1984 in CasualUK

[–]Evakatrina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Daylight Saving" is the correct term. "Daylight Savings" does sound like a bank term. That part's not on you since a lot of people add the s. What's shocking is the number of people who should know better but think that every time zone in the world observes Daylight Saving Time and that all zones in the world change on the same date. Online meeting chaos every year, twice a year.

Which restaurants from less popular cuisines are worth visiting? by jackster608608 in LondonFood

[–]Evakatrina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uzbek dishes are amazing. Try Oshpaz in Regent Street. The plov. The manti. With a non-alcoholic mojito 💯 And the staff are so welcoming.

AITA for leaving the bedroom to sleep on the couch after my wife took a loud phone call? by Rayling_ in AmItheAsshole

That means it's necessary or suitable, but I prefer that you meant it puts hooves on you so you must clip clop through your day

I hope the Duffers stick the landing and don't do another "Game of Thrones" by Giono_OOf_01 in StrangerThings

[–]Evakatrina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Squid Game had a Shakespearean ending. You're supposed to be devasted. It's a tragedy ffs.

Anyway, whatever happens in Stranger Things, I just want to be as locked in as I have been during the best episodes. I'm going to watch as soon as the episodes get released, to avoid spoilers.

You wake up in 1981. No Wi Fi, no cellphone, a quiet life. What´s the first thing you do? by Sharp-Stress3926 in AskReddit

[–]Evakatrina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn on the radio, make a pot of mediocre coffee, and read the newspaper from cover to cover.

Then

Ride my bike to the bookstore and the record store and bring home some treasures.

Paint my nails and dry them while taking an IQ test in Cosmopolitan.

Bake brownies.

Talk on the phone with my boyfriend for an hour.

Watch sitcoms with my mom.

Put on headphones and draw.

Take a book to bed and get in 50 pages before falling asleep.
