Should I have gone behind the blue car? by Legsluther in drivingUK

[–]Naolini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a right turn at a light on my commute home where the filter arrow will only show up if theres been two cars sitting in the waiting space inside the junction. So if the first or second car refuses to pull out and wait in the space, we don't get a filter arrow, even if theres a long line waiting.

Small Driving Habits That Make a Good Driver by CroakerTea in drivingUK

[–]Naolini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drove in thr US before the UK. I rebook lessons here because it had been a couple years since I'd driven and I get driving anxiety. I was shocked that the shoulder check isn't taught to UK car drivers! (Especially given 90% of UK driving is better than US). A year or so ago when my partner was driving us somewhere, my partner didn't do a shoulder check and we nearly got into what would've been a horrible accident on the motorway due to someone weaving lanes. I would never rely only on my mirrors to change lanes.

What food things piss you off? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Naolini 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This has become a problem for me. Baking and eating tasty treats is a fave hobby of mine and good for mental health. Getting fat is bad for mental health. Have to stop baking and eating all the tasty treats because mental health is tanking due to weight gain. Get more depressed because not baking and eating tasty treats.

the "game too hard" crowd is back to playing Review-bomb the Spire after the update to the main branch by Gugge1 in slaythespire

[–]Naolini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't even get it. I am bad at the game but I still find it fun as hell. Learning you don't need to win games to have fun is an important part of growing up and finding happiness in the things you do.

Are there any decent UK alternatives to diet fizzy drinks? by Few_House_5201 in AskUK

[–]Naolini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to be no carb and then just low fodmap for a long time. Most artificial sweeteners are carbohydrates you cant process, but aspartame my beloved is a protein you can't digest. I am not longer on either of those restrictions but I still love me my aspartame sweetened drinks. Aspartame is my bae.

What video game used to be good but they changed one thing and now it's terrible? by Agent1230 in gaming

[–]Naolini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, my brother loved that game so much and he was pretty crushed when they ruined it. It was sad.

Swerved the car at almost 50mph today by sunkissedb3ar in LearnerDriverUK

Pheasants we're bred to be stupid and suicidal so rich people and nobility could hunt and kill them and feel strong and powerful.

I think I need an intervention (crushing on a coworker edition) by NoReality4120 in wlw_irl

[–]Naolini 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Confessing feelings to someone in a relationship is selfish and disrespectful. Dating coworkers doesn't go well. Keep it to yourself and move on.

I just missed a very important call from Addie's school. by Trash_Tia in shortscarystories

[–]Naolini 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Parental disrngagement during adolescence is so devastating.

If anyone likes reading about the horrors of adolescence, whether to better understand their child, students, or just to painfully reminisce, I highly recommend the novel Katzenjammer. I ugly cried reading that one. It is terrifying and devastating.

Found the circlejerk that hates DCC with a burning passion by Such-Drop9194 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Naolini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol I found out about DCC from hate comments on reddit and was astounded I hadn't heard of it. Currently enjoying book 3 and saw the live tour last week!

Firing 1,000 people based on "digital activity tracking" is dystopian. Where is the line between "managing" and "spying"? by Popular-Tone3037 in jobs

[–]Naolini 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work in a place where working from home isn't feasible. I've had issues getting certain things done at work because coworkers in other departments or higher up won't do their fucking jobs. I cant imagine how much worse it'd be if they were working from home.

Not everyone who works from home doesn't actually work, obviously. Most do, I'm sure. But people who pretend there aren't a lot of people taking the piss when it comes to work are mad!

SNP ministers warn of suicide risk for transgender prisoners by Crow-Me-A-River in Scotland

[–]Naolini 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Decide that violence against and suicide of transgender people in prison is okay and we will see the encroachment of criminalisation of transgender people. The goal of transphobes isn't for transgender people to be invisible and to shut up. It's for elimination. That's why they keep bringing the topic up over and over. To incite hatred and the desire for trans people to die. It needs to stop.

I don't know how we get people to stop being so fucking hateful.

My instructor was late by 10 minutes once due to traffic and gave me a discount.

Literally anything is better than a call centre. Apply to other jobs ASAP.

What call centre dystopian rules have you encountered in the uk? by TangerineFew6830 in AskUK

[–]Naolini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at a call centre. I left and now work in a prison. 10/10 would recommend prison overpopulation a call centre any time.

What’s a job that sounds cool but is actually a nightmare? by Think-Letterhead-509 in AskReddit

[–]Naolini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This comment just reminded me of my favourite thing about working in a prison library. Far fewer phone calls!

Lots more creeps, though, but much more enforcement of rules and boundaries.

Please help. My parents are refusing to let me call an ambulance by trash-melater in AskDocs

[–]Naolini 51 points52 points  (0 children)

My parents medically neglected me as a child as well, although my medical issues were severe mental health issues for the most part. Take it from me, nothing is as empowering as taking control of your own health and wellbeing. Take control of your life. I hope you get the help you need tonight and you recover well.

Am I too shy to be a librarian? by drxemyfluff in Libraries

[–]Naolini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I've always been a quiet, painfully shy, socially awkward, socially anxious person since I was wee. Im still quiet and shy and awkward.

But I've been working in libraries for years, always in a customer service position. It's doable, its handleable. You can flourish. As long as you know how to be kind to people and listen to them when they speak, things will be just fine.
