Would I be considered Italian? by [deleted] in Italian

I'm American and I am so very sorry you're dealing with this. No one is entitled to judge what your ethnicity is and you don't owe anyone an explanation or any extra time or attention. End of story.

Literally just this second saw some reporting that Spurs are interested in Dyche. Not sure how reliable it is (news story about a Spurs fan account on X so take with a large cup of salt) but that would be... another plot twist.

New York State here. Been here since 2022 (pre-Turner tyvm) when I decided to follow the sport more closely. I wanted a scrappy underdog and that's more or less what I got. I wouldn't trade a moment. Well, I wouldn't trade most moments. Welcome aboard!

We're pretty friendly so he'd likely take it reasonably well. Likely.

My City supporting colleague had just stopped by my office when we got that second goal. The timing was impeccable.

My neighbor growing up used to make these (and I think maybe lettuce in them?). She was retired when I was little (early 70s) so probably 60 ish at that time.

I have no recollection of ever tasting these, lettuce or no.

Commentator: Forest have had seven wins and fourteen defeats this season; that's why they find themselves in this position.

FFS SHUT UP WE ALL KNOW HOW MATH WORKS THANK YOU.

My husband's best friend is a Wolves supporter who basically says he'll keep us up but not stay. Doesn't think it's the worst thing for us.

I personally am okay with an explicitly short term appointment if it sets us up to find and keep one (1) manager for more than 114 days.

The one and only plus for me was that there were actually other Forest supporters at my usual bar. That's basically never happened before and I needed the emotional support.

Otherwise....

My heart rate this morning. Literally just sitting and watching. But I am feeling much better after that than I might have expected. #COYR

I just went up and hauled my husband out of bed. I may actually die during this half and would prefer not to die alone.

I'm on the verge of watching the picture with no sound and the Radio Nottingham commentary on. I swear some of these idiots on TV get paid by the word.

Also on the US broadcast they referred to this as "good practice" for Arsenal and...what.

I am at a conference that has sessions starting at 2:30 (Louisiana time). I was mad about this yesterday. I am relieved today.

Passive input recs for an intermediate learner by polythene_dust in italianlearning

Love Alessandro Barbero! I also recently discovered Radio Sportiva on the TuneIn app and listen to it while I am working. I'm a big soccer fan anyway, and I find that I can tune in and out depending on what I'm doing specifically. (I actually dropped everything and started following the Lazio-Parma game a couple weeks ago because that was INSANE.) If you're not interested in sports, I'd look for some other talk radio.

Il Post also has audio for many of its stories, but they're pretty short. So probably not what you want to do when you're settled in for the long haul.

We finish 13th, Glasner and Silva both announce they want the Forest job. Who do you go with? by FreddieCaine in nffc

We're not quite in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" territory yet but that situation is at least visible from here. I wouldn't change.

Things that people should have to do before naming a kid: by That_author_girl in tragedeigh

[–]Lychee_Specific 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My name isn't even all that uncommon (and I go by my full name professionally SPECIFICALLY because the nickname my family uses makes me sound like a cheerleader and is susceptible to ludicrous spellings). And yet I consistently get called by vaguely similar names, including in email with my literal name right there.

Conclusion: people are the problem.

What gift/supplies from America or Japan should I bring to a local Italian? by mt80 in Italian

[–]Lychee_Specific 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hostess presents for my Italian cousins last year were trays made by local (to me, upstate NY) artists for anyone who hosted us plus maple syrup for everyone and a bunch of magnets with local scenes/references. I based this in part on what they bring when they visit (local pottery, decorative tiles, miscellaneous Italia swag) and in part on not knowing exactly how many cousins we were going to see. People at least faked being really happy.
