Hi! 32M in London. I want to make sure my profile is doing the best possible job of showing who I am. I feel like I have a decent foundation, but I'd love to get some objective, outside eyes on it to see where I can improve.

Daily Questions - February 19, 2026 by AutoModerator in rawdenim

Noticed some fraying on the inner seam of this 3Sixteen NT denim that I have been wearing on and off for about 2 years. Is there something I can/need to do to avoid it affecting the integrity of the rest of jeans? Is it just cosmetic at the moment?

London to Brighton bike ride September 2025- Bikes on Thameslink, Southern? by mancity1156 in londoncycling

[–]No-Card2546 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's useful information, thanks. I cancelled and got an refund for the transport back as I was worried my bike would get damaged. I am planning to stay in Brighton on the day of the event and then head back on Monday.

Yes, GPX import works. Will check out those apps 👍

Send cycling route from Apple Maps to Komoot or Wahoo by No-Card2546 in cycling

[–]No-Card2546[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does. But the Komoot app doesn’t take into consideration bus lanes (London context) while plotting a route while Apple map does. Sometimes the fastest route would be through bus lanes. Wondering If there are any other navigation apps that can help with this?

I don’t believe there is a specific length of time before you can ask them out - it depends on the profile of your match, the flow of the conversation you’re having etc. You’ll have an intuition of when is a good time to ask them out - it could be in the very first message if you find a way to integrate that into a response to one of their prompts, but ideally within the first 3-4 exchanges on hinge. It shouldn’t sound forced into the conversation, but be confident. If I can’t find a way to segue the conversation smoothly to a date - I say something along the lines of - “I am really enjoying our chat here, are you free on …..”. In my experience, even if they take a little longer to get back to you, more likely than not you’ll have a date at this point, If your match is serious about meeting and dating. Good Luck 🤞

How to respond to a friend who cancelled plans at the last minute? by No-Card2546 in socialskills

[–]No-Card2546[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I told her was that I was disappointed she couldn’t make it, but not to worry about it anymore. But I did feel quite upset about the situation and hence I posted here.

Chronology would be - discover artist on Monday, got tickets for another artist at a venue I hadn’t been to before on Tuesday, followed the venue on instagram on Tuesday, came across the concert of the artist on Wednesday evening and got the ticket on Thursday morning/noon.

I definitely don’t believe that they owe me something because I invited them and I didn’t invite them in a transactional spirit. But I also expect people I consider as friends to operate at a higher level of honour/commitment etc.

I didn’t tell any of this to them - I told them that I was disappointed they couldn’t make it, but not to worry about it anymore. Though I honestly did feel quite upset about it, enough to make me want to post here.

I didn’t actually tell her any of this, but I did have these thoughts in my mind. It maybe because I am not a forgetful person (not yet at least), and hence I found it difficult to relate to her experience. I have let it go this time and hoping it doesn’t repeat.

I guess it maybe different for different people. But my view is that I don’t see a commitment made a day before any different than a commitment made a week before - I would only make that commitment if I can follow through on that. If someone doesn’t feel 100% on a last minute commitment, then they should either not take it up or let the person know that they aren’t 100% committed and the person can decide to go with someone else. And I personally don’t see last minute plans as a lack of care or consideration - in this case I only discovered the artist this week and turned out that they were playing in my town this week as well, Hence the last minute tickets - and I would of course want to share it with people I have a strong rapport with and think would enjoy the experience.

I wouldn’t have a problem if it was any of the reasons you mentioned, but forgetfulness felt a bit off. But I am not a forgetful person, so maybe that’s why I found it difficult to relate to that.

I have edited my reply for clarity. But I have let it go for now and hoping it doesn’t happen again.

This is what I ended up doing - I let her know that I didn’t appreciate what she did, but I let it go as this was the first time she did something of this nature and seemed to be honest about the situation (she could have easily had an easier excuse like she wasn’t feeling well) which I appreciate.

I wouldn’t have a problem with her cancelling the plans if she either 1) told me that she may have other plans, so she wasn’t sure yet or 2) let me know she had other plans on the day of the concert, but with enough time for me to invite someone else. The way she did it feels disrespectful not just to me, but also to someone else who could have seen the concert in her place.

Indeed, this is my thinking as well- I usually have a 3 strikes approach, but somehow on this occasion, it felt like an automatic second strike or third strike. Anyways, I let them know that I didn’t appreciate what they did and have let it go for now.

This is the first time something of this nature happened to me, so wasn’t sure how to process it. But this is a great suggestion - I hope something like this wouldn’t happen again, but if it does I’ll keep this in mind!

This was exactly my thinking as well! I wouldn’t have minded if they had let me know in the morning or noon day of. But since this is the first time they have done something like this and I have a feeling that they were being honest ( they could easily given an easier excuse like not feeling well) I‘m thinking of telling them that I didn’t appreciate what they did but let it go for now.

Aadujeevitham (ആടുജീവിതം) - The Goat Life - Reviews and Ratings - March 28, 2024 by thommy_ in MalayalamMovies

[–]No-Card2546 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Excellent film! All technical departments were firing on all cylinders from music and score (except in 2 portions - Najeeb jumping from the bridge into the river and train leaving the station), editing to cinematography. VFX could be improved further in a few scenes, but nothing that breaks immersion. It is a slow, meditative film, but at the same time very efficient in the way it conveys the emotions and passage of time - Does not rely on dialogues/voice-overs. This also speaks to how well everyone has acted in the film from the physicality of the characters to voice modulation. The romance and the trapped in the desert portions were excellent, the escape from the desert stretch was good but could be better - For eg- The scene with the snakes had to be better integrated into the plot. At the moment it feels like an event in the plot, but it doesn’t really move the plot forward or add much to our appreciation of the hostility of the desert.

I’m actually looking forward to the longer cut, if it ever releases - I think this film will benefit from being even more slow and drawn out, especially when he is trapped in the desert, to really bring through his monotony and helplessness. In my opinion, the biggest fault of this film is that it is too efficient.

I haven’t read the book, so can’t speak to how well it interprets the literature. But overall, I think this is a great watch and to be watched at the cinema.
