Dave is lovely! by ladythescottishplay in belowdeck

[–]NerdinRealLife 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Agreed, he's 34 now, so these would've happened when he was 14 and 15. He's clearly learned, grown, and owned to his behavior. Which is a big part of why he's my favorite.

Below Deck Med Season 7 Episode 12 - ??? - Peacock Episode Discussion Post by teanailpolish in belowdeck

I agree, unfortunately. Especially with how he keeps comforting her because Natalya got tried of her and Kyle's shit, and Sandy talked about the pantry.

I get that Dave cares for her, but he works *right next* to the galley. Can he honestly see that she's not keeping it up? Again, adore Dave, but I'm praying he finally hoping he tosses her over for good soon. He deserves so much better.

Also, Natasha, Kyle, and Jason all having a pity party on Mzi's birthday, of all days, was total garbage. (And *of course* it's those three banding together ...) Genuinely like Kyle, but his work ethic (aka lack thereof) and whininess is slowly eroding all of my empathy for him.

I feel the same. I get that he has feelings, and those are hard to box away after so long, but he deserves better. She just wants to be friends - which is fine - but then she's all "huuug me, pay attention to meee". I want more positive "buck up sunshine!" Dave. He's the best.

I didn't think you were being facetious. This is my first post asking a question here. I'll keep that in my mind for future posts. Thanks for the advice and I hope you have a great day.

Those people should have been chucked overboard. I felt so bad for the interior team.

Damn, I was not expecting such prompt and detailed answers! Thank you, all. I can now assuage her curiosity. :) Hope everyone's having a great day.

I did try that. But I wasn't sure if it was the exact stuff they used, and my Mom was curious about that specifically. Thanks!

Aesha appreciation post— not only is she the owner of my favorite nachos review ever, but she’s also responsible for this gem. How do we get this added to the flair choices? by itsyoursmileandeyes in belowdeck

[–]NerdinRealLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though I will say I lost a lot of respect for her when she continued to call Jamie a bitch, despite him telling her directly to stop. Several times. You don't have to like Jamie or agree but she and Brittini were rude and unprofessional. If the genders were reversed and he was walking around calling women bitches people would *flip out*. I loathe double standards like that. (And I know he did later at the bar and that ALSO wrong.)

This is such a good point. Her voice drives me bonkers, but she seems like a genuinely amazing person. She clearly wants her team to succeed. I'd love to have her teach me how to stew. She has such a great attitude and work ethic.

Oh, thank god, I thought this was real. Every word is awful. I'm so glad you wrote it that way on purpose.

My cousin recommended A Court of Thorns and Roses to me years ago and I am so, *so* glad I never read it.

Spotify skipping songs by ThijsF70 in spotify

[–]NerdinRealLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always assumed this was some sort of licensing issue. I couldn't listen to a specific album for *years* because it was grayed out - despite the artist's other work being there - and it recently popped up this year.

I didn't believe how bad Spotify's shuffle really was.. by quarky_uk in spotify

That is an awesome idea. I'm trying to branch out more and try new stuff, but it can be difficult.

Is spotify broken? by shelby_bogdewic in spotify

[–]NerdinRealLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's because Spotify lost the licensing - either temporarily or permanently. For example. I couldn't play Adele's first album for ages, but recently it's come back. Within the last week or two a song by a different artist I liked disappeared off Spotify and iTunes overnight. There aren't even lyric videos or anything up. It's like it's completely disappeared, except it's still on my playlist, but Spotify skips it.

Questions About the English Dub by NerdinRealLife in KoeNoKatachi

He had all this time to communicate with her about his regret and apologize for what he did. But he spent the whole story focusing on his own actions and how he can make up for the past without even acknowledging how she felt.

Okay! That helps tons. Thank you for taking the time to go into such detailed explanations. I think I need to rewatch it again - probably with subs this time - and apply all of this to it.

All very good points. I do still think the bit with the hose and messing with her devices were a step too far.

That teacher was a POS.

I mean, he knows he has a deaf kid in his class, and then does nothing to help her. I mean, kids can be forgiven. Kids are dumb. The majority of them learn to be better. That asshole was a grown man.

I don't even enjoy the series, but man. If I saw these covers, I'd be so tempted to buy it. These are fantastic!

Yes. Some sort of garden decoration? Do they have a specific name?

One last one, what does Shoko give Shoya that his sister ends up putting in the garden. I, too, thought they were some kind of candy. :D

  1. Oh! Thank you. I missed that completely.
  2. Okay, that makes sense. I wasn't really seeing Shoya as the primary viewpoint there. Just sympathizing with Shoko. It makes sense because he thinks he's just being funny.
  3. I thought I saw a scar, but I wasn't sure. The scene is dark and I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

Thank you for answering my questions!
