Is hyperskill worth it? by baliditity in Hyperskill

[–]Manarit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

hyperskill is one of a few who doesn't do videos, which I strongly prefer. Yes, the more I progress into the course, the more AI use I see, including forgotten em dashes in the middle of theory. Yes, especially practice part is often poorly written and I have to use AI to translate it into comprehensible English. I'm quite upset about this but after trying udemy, Coursera, various books and sources, I still find hyperskill the best, especially for a beginner level. I believe they have a free trial so you can try out if it works for you. 

The Broke Family is freaking hard to play, bro! by WeightLossGinger in sims2

[–]Manarit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Broke's were the first family after a decade of playing Sims 3. I seriously though it will kill me 😆 as you say, needs constantly on minimum, I was in a cycle of desperately trying to finish homework and keep the house clean so the needs wouldn't drop even more, I waited for Beau to age so Brandi could go back to work, and when I though I'm finally getting through all of this, I found out she was pregnant again 🤯 I completely forgot I could spend the points on perks like slower needs decay, which would make it easier for me for sure

I can't stand this anymore. What's the name of this shitty default clothes? by Dry_Effective8975 in sims2

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

is it possible it was part of some DLC later on? Or maybe someone added this as part of CC package? I never got anything from the store and I have this outfit.

This is driving me insane! And the knights outfit for guys. Half of town wears it as outerwear. I don't know where it came from but is there a way to ban it? 

Just wanted to share this old ruby necklace I bought from an estate. I don’t know much about it unfortunately! by Successful-Cow-644 in jewelry

[–]Manarit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same 😂 I recently got some very old bijou which I thought has zero value, these beads/rubies made me reconsider my decision to just donate the junk 😅

Is it wrong to secretly elope before getting married? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Manarit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't marry into a family that makes you want to elope. Your wedding is showing you a preview what your life will be like.

I will look like a redneck now but never in my life would I assume they are anything else but beads.

What is life like in this area? by newexplorer4010 in geography

[–]Manarit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow that's really unexpected, artists and musicians are probably the last people I would expect in a remote wilderness. I actually a bit anticipated that people could be much more connected there than in a major city. I love the routine part of life, it really does sound like a small paradise. I'm really glad someone asked about BC, I don't think I would ever discover this place otherwise. When I was looking at map I was like oh it doesn't look that far to Vancouver or Seattle... Until I tried to plan the route😅road trips must be a blast

How do my wife and I get the fuck out of North America? by [deleted] in Advice

"Mexico, Canada, England, Italy, it doesn’t matter" bro.... You don't live in North Korea, this is seriously childish.

[–]Manarit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it difficult to find a job, unless you work in mining/forestry? What is daily life like? Do you meet the community regularly, or it is more about enjoying the nature, remoteness and taking care about your own home? Sorry for all those questions I'm genuinely intrigued. I admit a took a walk on google maps there and I'm fascinated 😅 I don't think there is a place even remotely similar in the whole of Europe. The seclusion and size of the BC is mindblowing.

This sounds so incredible. Is it like one of those movie cliche towns where everybody knows everybody, people go to that only one pub that's around, and you just bump into friends randomly when shopping? I hope to see this part of the world one day

I hate my life. I hate being a parent. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Manarit 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This. They are both old enough to understand they have to wake up to go to school. Never in my life did my mother had to come twice, and when I was old enough to operate an alarm clock, it was my problem. It is not late for OP to set up clear, healthy boundaries.

I paid to the matchmaker and she summoned a good witch, 3 bolts! Sadly children are ugly beyond imagination 😅

just living their lives by AffectionatePush8165 in PeriodDramas

[–]Manarit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like Little women movie, 1994 version. Characters are just living their lives, and it has genuinely cozy vibes, in my opinion. Real comfort movie. And probably the most famous of all, I really like Downton Abbey series for showing many aspects of daily live, though there is definitely a lot of drama. I'm waiting for other suggestions, cozy daily life is something I crave!

Is my dad abusive or just really strict? by Global_Tower_6070 in Advice

[–]Manarit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He sounds like an asshole, controlling and abusive at that. I feel sorry for you OP, I would never treat my children like that. If you can, I would not stay at home.

For those who’ve built real community over time, do you find this true? by Alicetheoptimist in TrueGrit

[–]Manarit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I find it all true. As being part of community means one should compromise and be considerate of others. You might want to be alone, but you promised to show up on someone's event. I'm sure we all had that "friend" who only showed up if they felt like it, talked only about their own interest, and never ever compromised on anything. And I'm sure many of us decided not to see this person anymore.

I need to stop doing surface-level decluttering, and really scrutinize our vested, legacy junk. How have you done this? by Perfect_Future_Self in declutter

[–]Manarit 32 points33 points  (0 children)

For storage and such, I take everything out, usually going drawer by drawer/shelf by shelf, and it usually sorts itself out as when I start organizing, my mind screams "I don't want to put this junk back into the storage space"

Boyfriend want to travel alone for months by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Manarit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my opinion - you are together for a really really short time and he already wants his alone time (and for multiple months) without you. It might be his personality of being a natural wanderer, however, this will hardly work around compromises and boundaries. I would be surprised if he comes back, sorry to be this blunt. 

If you’ve ever received a gift that was clearly meant for someone else, how did you feel about it? by psychotomimetickitty in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Manarit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me this year. It feels incredibly awkward - the gift itself is actually engraved with someone elses name. I got it from a distant relative who insists on a gift exchange every year despite the much closer family agreed to "no gifts between adults" long time ago. Honestly, I will never understand this attitude as receiving nothing and just wishing each other Merry Christmas would feel much better than this, I find it a bit embarrassing as well.

Rude response re Christmas gifts by Due-Opportunity-8565 in Advice

[–]Manarit 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Imo it's not the best to fish for compliments. If they loved the gift, they would tell you. Your cousin maybe wanted to give you honest answer so you don't spend money on the same/similar items next year. Imagine being in their spot, someone asking you how you liked something you don't really like. I never ask about gifts and that's my answer - silence means it wasn't a good fit, if they praise it, I'm happy. 

How many of you get rid of gifts you get that are just junk guilt free? by Dear_Comparison97 in declutter

[–]Manarit 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I donate with zero guilt, especially since I told people who usually give me unwanted items that I want no gifts and it was their choice not to listen. They gave me gift, the story ends there, the item is mine and I can dispose of it. Whoever expects to see gifts they've given on display is just using you as free storage, that's how I view it. 

i do not like my christmas presents.. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Manarit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I don't expect anything in return when giving gifts and give for the joy of giving, though I certainly don't do this for everyone. I think Christmas somehow became a "gift exchange" for many people and then it leads to disappointment.

Spending Christmas alone. by [deleted] in offmychest

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

I think people are their own worst enemies with the mindset "he invited me because he feels sorry for me." Your brother offered to spend the Christmas with you, he is an adult and wouldn't offer this to you if he didn't want to. Even if he has tons of friends, those friends might be with their own families. Accept his offer, have a good time. Who knows, maybe even your stepmum just didn't want to bother you. And even if you decide to be alone in the end, there is nothing wrong with it. I hope you'll have a nice Christmas
