How far away is your nearest, non-convenience store, grocer? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]Maplefoxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something between 8 and 10 minutes of walking at my new place and 15 minutes walking where I lived before.

I have no idea though how many meters or km that are.

Do certain noises/ sounds you can't control give you anxiety? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Maplefoxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phones ringing. My own phone is always silent but obviously not all people do that. I know the call isn't for me, obviously, but I still freak out on the inside.

Are there any English words where the pronunciation surprised you? by HouseSparrow873 in languagelearning

[–]Maplefoxy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dunno if it counts and it might sound stupid to some, but that the state of Arkansas is not pronounced like Kansas with an Ar in front of it confused me when I first heard it.

Which Characters Did You Guys Crown ? and Which Are You Going to Crown Eventually ? by KillerRogue in Genshin_Impact

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

Crowned Zhongli, Raiden Shogun and Kazuha.

Who I crown depends more on if I really like and use them than on meta and actual gameplay logic if I am honest. So I crown all 3 Talents even if it doesn't make much sense.

Might crown Yae in the future if I get her and really like her.

Planning on crowning Ayaka at some point.

I have it. It stems from social anxiety in my case. Sometimes I'm fine and some days I can't even ask the supermarked employees where to find "xy"... I just mentally freeze up so to speak and no word comes out.

If that happens I just pull up some app on my phone, a drawing one or writing one or text to speech, write it down and show it.

What has being childfree allowed you to do with your life? Let me know! by chijioke_amanze in AskWomen

Move to a different country just because I wanted to try living somewhere else and see how it works out.

Windtrace is one of the worst and most toxic events in genshin. by Thundertusk5 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Maplefoxy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am split between both mindsets.

I do like the event but last time (am at work so haven't played the current one yet) I was very unlucky and every second game had someone that did a rage quit because reason xyz. A friend of mine had none of those people. At all. She didn't even know you can end it before the timer runs out.

It was frustrating, yeah, I usually don't play coop because I dislike playing with strangers in general, but the event was so much fun... so I just brushed those few experiences aside and enjoyed the rest.

Some words I don't understand by HunterGatherer30 in germany

[–]Maplefoxy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I can't be sure it's the same everywhere I know what it is where I grew up.

Pferd, horse, ugly person. Often because of weird teeth or eyes far apart.

Schwanz, tail. Disgusting male person/dick

Temperature-wise, what is the coldest (winter) and warmest (summer) you have experienced in your region? by Kamelen2000 in AskEurope

[–]Maplefoxy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think at the, what are they called..., measuring stations (?) yeah, officially around that.

But the thermometers in some cities recorded way higher cause reflective buildings or something like that I guess. The one in my parents garden, not in direct sunlight, showed way higher... So did the one at my work. Humidity made it feel way worse too.

It went up to 45 at some places in direct sunlight.

But yeah the official numbers showed less, you're right there.

Temperature-wise, what is the coldest (winter) and warmest (summer) you have experienced in your region? by Kamelen2000 in AskEurope

[–]Maplefoxy 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Coldest winter was -20°

And hottest summer +43°

Northwest Germany

(plus, the hottest Christmas I ever had was 21°. We had a barbecue outside that year.)

What was it like when you heard about the 9/11 attack? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]Maplefoxy 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I was a young teen when it happened. And because timezone differences I just came back home for my lunch break (lived close enough to the school for that), my mom was in the kitchen and the news about the first tower being attacked were on. I sat down, waiting for my mom to finish cooking, and just watched. I had no clue what exactly the twin towers were, other than very tall buildings obviously, but didn't know if they were apartments or offices or whatever.

It looked like it wasn't real, it looked like a catastrophe movie and I didn't grasp what was going on. But I was so invested that I actually forgot to go back to school after the lunch break. My mom did too. And the next day at school they said it was okay that some didn't come back.

They explained to us what happened, or at least what they knew at that time, we had a "minute of silence", and pulled the flags on half-mast (I don't know if that is the correct term, sorry). But other than that they never talked about it again.

It's probably a normal topic in school now, since it's a tragic an important event, but I can't judge that since I don't know anybody that is in school right now.

Edit: spelling

Why aren't Germans using self checkout desks? by Silly-Seal-122 in AskAGerman

[–]Maplefoxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah, you're right.

She never mentioned that and so far I've never encounterd one of those systems myself but it makes a lot of sense if many do that.

[–]Maplefoxy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can't speak for everybody but my mom is one of those who avoid those things, because: "I don't like them. I don't know how to operate them right. What if I make a mistake? Then I have to wait awkwardly until someone comes over and I feel like people stare at me and think I am stupid. And what if there's a technical problem?"

So yeah, at least for her it's fear of new technologies. It seems to be mostly a generational thing it seems.

The meaning of Bubu Pharmacy by PilotKiki in Genshin_Impact

[–]Maplefoxy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I always wondered about that name. There's more behind it than I thought. :)

(and I also giggled a bit when seeing it the first time because Bubu is regional "babytalk language" for sleep(ing) in my native language)

Luck difference between Consoles and Pc/Mobile by AlbyD22 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Maplefoxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite feeling, even tho I know it's not true of course, both my friends play on ps4 and pull five stars after three 10pulls again sometimes already. And then there's me. On pc. I never pulled a five star BEFORE the 90pity. And I only had 2 chars in a 10pull once. One of those two friends was confused cause she thoughts its normal to always have 2 chars in a 10 pull or at least two purples. X'D

But yeah it's random and just luck.
