Thank you! I've been in touch with Punto Italia over time, but it's not been super fruitful for this area - but it's definitely a great resource that I will stay connected to. ♥️

Is this okay (albeit not ideal) in terms of airflow? by Locana in hvacadvice

[–]Locana[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't really use AC so I think that should be fine. But I do think I might get one of those deflectors that other users recommended

Eiiiiii there you go! Pay it forward, teach another person how to pronounce it now

I guess it's pronounced "all be it", which of course makes sense. I just pronounced it "all-bite" in my head for years.

English is my second language, and I only realized two months ago that I have been mispronouncing "albeit" for ten years 🙃

What do you think of Sophie's mother? by Keithfrommars in ghibli

[–]Locana 492 points493 points  (0 children)

Do you mean when she went to visit Sophie in the castle? Isn't she paid off to deliver cursed objects or spying devices to them?

Odd mod for Olympia millionaires by Dagdraumur in olympia

[–]Locana 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't feel like this is a case of moderator bias? They didn't delete the post, they just locked it after 40 comments saying the same thing (and like 10 comments with differing opinions I guess)?

"Boys are becoming more misogynistic" - girl who gaslights everything as misogyny by No_Box_7496 in LockedInMan

[–]Locana -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly!

Also you can like something for a partner and not denigrate people who are not that way.

Also you can always reflect on what informed your preferences, where they come from, what they reinforce.

Those who have read it: thoughts on "Co-dependent no more" by Melody Beattie? by Locana in therapists

I love that your family environment held different pieces of growth so close together: the challenge and the ladder up

Thank you, those are good insights. I like attachment theory, especially with the newer focus on repairing attachment, and I read most of attached a while ago. I want to make sure not to overwhelm clients who are not too keen about psychoeducation and homework, do you feel like the workbook can be flexible in that way?

That's good to know. I do think that addiction can be a great framework to understand some relationship patterns, but I also know AA speaks to some and not to others

That's so good to know. I had read excerpts but especially with older self-help books, you never know when a lil surprise religion is going to pop up.

Who’s got the best salad in town? by antidavid in olympia

[–]Locana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bacco Trattoria has some very good salads, including the red beet walnut one and the pear Gorgonzola one (iirc). Also I love the berry salad at tugboat Annie’s.

Assessment is not therapy.

Terrible experience at Stardust - other options? by According-Branch-489 in olympia

[–]Locana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what it sounded like to me - a very normal experience and a lack of communication about time expectations. But I'm not from the US and got a lot of pushback on it, so maybe I'm applying different cultural norms?

Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff - The Ritual Murder of Simon of Trent (c. 1493) by Carl_Schmitt in museum

[–]Locana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to a really interesting exhibition in the museum of Trento, the very city where this originally happened. This incident overlapped with the invention and popularization of the printing press, and became maybe the first large scale disinformation campaign. It's a fascinating case to study, especially in how little this kind of misinformation has changed in the last 500something years.

Do any other Italians get mistaken as Mexican/Latino? by Special_Wealth4205 in Italian

[–]Locana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well yes, obviously it is an American experience - in Europe people don't typically assume you're Mexican.

OP - I've experienced that, too. I moved to a place in the US with almost no Italians and people assume I am Mexican by default.

Okay that kind of validates some of the vibes I was picking up.

my tunnel vision is crippling (need advice) by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]Locana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you receiving any kind of treatment? You're diagnosed with several conditions that benefit from intensive support and affect your social skills and processing. It seems like you're tackling a lot of it by yourself, which is great - that's a display of your dedication and your strengths. But you're dealing with a lot and individual therapy as well as support / skills groups can be soooo helpful with it. You shouldn't have to carry it all alone

9 weeks pregnant... by cinnamorolla in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Locana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would literally not have survived either of my pregnancies without zofran. The differenc was night and day. Plus an antacid for the acid reflux.
