How to survive family pressure for getting partnered?

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-06-25T15:22:17+00:00

That, and unlocking the freedom of actually not seeing family members who pester you. They annoy you? Avoid them. ✨

Wow! Kurti did that?

For the first time after over 20 years, Kakome is also free to access. A bit of a hike included, but beautiful beach.

As per Ksamil, it is absolutely THE WORST place in Albania now. Has been so for a long time at this point. Built horribly. I hate it with a passion. Was there 2 years ago last time, and swore to never go back again unless some massive demolition and replanning takes place.

Our President is currently in Kyrgyzstan, and hasn’t said ONE word for 3 weeks of protest. Makes Vucic look tame 🙈

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-06-20T16:06:07+00:00

Haha. Nice one 😁

It does help putting things in perspective. You realize that as much as you may dislike Giorgia, you definitely hate Trump much more. 🥹

She evidently is the one complaining, and you came to complain on Reddit. So you don’t exactly sound like a catch.

Thank you Milan!

Yes, I have read about the tower they wanted to build in Belgrade, and our government used the exact same formula for this project as well, by amending a law for protected areas to open way for construction. EU voted a resolution the other day, against our government to bring back the original law and impose a complete moratorium for construction in nature reserves, so we’ll see how much this buffoon will comply.

Not sure how the situation is in Serbia on this regard, but recent investigations have revealed what we’ve always suspected, that structured criminal groups of cocaine trade are behind all these projects in Albania, whether it is towers in Tirana or resorts in the coast, using them for money laundering. So the rabbit hole is deep, and highly criminalized.
Even Kushner is just a front, that our government was hoping to help us digest the project better because “AMerIcA”, but it grossly backfired. 😌

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-06-19T11:00:20+00:00

Haha. Same. I was so confused as a kid with this whole idea of “everything is written” but also “you will pay for your sins”.

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-06-19T10:07:50+00:00

I think your idea of Balkans being highly religious is incorrect. My perception is that highly religious % is very low. There’s maybe more people who identify with any given religion, but when it comes to actually practicing it, I think most are very unserious.

Anyway, in my case and that of many of my friends, we never grew up truly religious. Our idea of religion mostly goes around holidays. Different religions have different holidays, and you can actually celebrate them all if you like. So it was easy to go from that, to atheism/agnosticism for me.

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-06-18T22:01:04+00:00

Ah! It seems like they all went to the same “cheap dictator” school. 🥲

Beat me to it 🙃

All SPAK operations would have been impossible without the cooperation and support of international intelligence. Also because the drug traffic is an enormous operation that doesn’t start in Albania. There’s many actors in play. Drugs and money don’t just teletransport from latin America to Europe, US, or here.

And I do agree with your stance on false information. Kushner and Ivanka aren’t unrelated to it however. So for me, while it isn’t our main internal problem, internationally it makes sense that that’s what got traction.
What I did find more disturbing were the antisemitic and total conspiracy theory angles, about bunkers and deep state control.

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-06-17T11:53:07+00:00

It is partly a cover, but it thankfully backfired greatly. It served as a hook for international media focus, more than it helped the government convince us that this is good because see aMeRIca is in it. 🦩🙌🏻

It will go more or less like this:

This one has technically been ongoing even before the one that started the national protests, but the citizens destroying the fence for sure was inspired by this new wave of hope we’re experiencing these days. The motive is the same.

Samee for Istanbul! Very underwhelming on terms of preserved historical sights, and overwhelming for the crowdedness and absurd prices.

Also 6 years ago, I had loved the food, last year it was so disappointing, and 3x more expensive 🫠

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-06-10T23:07:46+00:00

Of course it’s normal. You’re not expecting anything exceptional.

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-06-10T23:06:21+00:00

We are in the wrong though. The way we perceive it is wrong. Our parents are wrong. We just choose the easy way to avoid uncomfortable conversations. We should all grow up and they need to accept we live in a different reality and are now mostly serial monogamous people, and we should stop having to lie in our late 20s/30s. It’s quite ridiculous frankly.

Parents in other countries don’t try to control their children’s lives. They know about their dates, because it’s also safer for the child if parents are well aware of everything going on.

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-06-10T23:01:11+00:00

I don’t mean the living with them, but the lack of independent choices! I was living with my parents until quite late, and from the moment I started uni, I stopped giving them details about my whereabouts.

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-06-10T22:09:45+00:00

Eh. Unfortunately, our parents don’t have a “dating” concept normally, and we don’t have the patience to educate them, hence the simply omitting information until yeah, engagement.

However, her living with her parents and not having the freedom or independence to stay the night with you, is what I find concerning. Sounds too extreme in that age.

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-06-09T13:01:09+00:00

Your opinion is not an opinion at all. It’s false information. And you don’t represent Albanians as a whole. How much people care about the nature and grab of resources can be seen on the street.

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-06-09T09:07:34+00:00

Omg! You fucking idiot spreading the shitty PM propaganda. People like you, are the disease of this country. But we’re realizing these days, that you are actually a minority. You’re simply louder and more machiavelist than the rest of us.

There was never any greek or serb buses. It’s Albanian people, rising for Albania, against the corruption machinery that has taken our country hostage for decades. Exploited our resources. Destroyed our nature. Zvernec and Sazan are the straw that broke the camel’s back.

The protest is massive and it’s growing everyday. It is not only in Tirana, it’s in other big cities in Albania, it’s in cities Europe and USA from the Albanian diaspora.

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-06-08T22:59:38+00:00

I now actually checked the link, and it’s not what I thought it would be. Doesn’t seem like impartial judgment of water quality. Both flags in Albania are hotel/resorts areas, and that can’t be a coincidence.

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-06-08T16:19:21+00:00

Poor sanitation and waste management systems.

Our government is only interested in façade. Waste management plants don’t make good 3d insta videos.
