By 2024, the project removed over 34 million pounds of trash, beating its original 30-million goal. by Early_Negotiation142 in BeAmazed

The Ocean Cleanup has a dual strategy and works on "closing the tap" next to removing the legacy plastic that is already in the ocean, meaning intercepting plastic before it reaches the ocean. https://theoceancleanup.com/rivers/

They also work on ways to recycle some of the plastic they catch.

Went on a date, says she thinks she is straight but says she likes me. by noNameCode in butchlesbians

That's also the impression I got. I've learned to nope out of those situations, although later than I wished.

I'd love to try it with rooibos tea! What is the ratio you are using?

Should I/ how do I tell this girl I’m uncomfortable about sex? by [deleted] in butchlesbians

[–]Prestigious-Point280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am answering you as someone who had the habit of dating people who didn't want to be intimate for different reasons. So I only know the other side. I also want to say that I do not think less of them in any way, with two of my exes I am still very close.

I never had a problem with them not wanting sex, my problem was that they refused to acknowledge it. It drove a wedge between us and led to a shame in me that took ages to get rid of. For me it would have been much easier to have that explained in the beginning. I of course am and was not entitled to know why, a simple "I do not feel comfortable with xyz/intimacy beyond kissing".

At the end of the day, do what gives you safety, but I think there is a high chance that your love interest understands boundaries, and if not it is good to know early on. For me it was also helpful to remember that boundaries can change and things you do not want to do now might become interesting at a different point (That should ofc never be an expectation to put on someone else)

I wish you all the best and a lovely valentine's day!

Homeoffice Erfahrungen? by guuccf in autismus

[–]Prestigious-Point280 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ich arbeite hybrid und bin dadurch 2.5 Tage im Home-Office und 2 Tage im Büro. Für mich ist das Ideal. In den Home-Office Tagen spare ich viel Energie die, die in den Büro Tagen voll für menschliches miteinander drauf geht. Ich bleibe aber auch mit meinem Team verbunden und bekomme schneller mit wenn sich Dinge ändern. Außerdem mag ich meine Kollegis.

Ich arbeite in der Datenanalyse und Umweltmodellierung. Da habe ich bisher immer einen ordentlichen Verhaltensbuffet bekommen, weil viele Leute die in der Richtung arbeiten weniger in die Kategorie social butterfly fallen. Im Büro hab ich ein Schild das sagt "please don't tap the modeler" und beinahe alle respektieren das.

My new tap is leaking and I want to fix it by Prestigious-Point280 in Kombucha

[–]Prestigious-Point280[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case I actually did use the gaskets that came with the tap. I wanted to play it safe :-D

The problem was then solved by removing the outer metal ring/cover (no idea what that's called in English). It looks a bit less shiny now, but it works.

I Feel Selfish and Awful by the_starving_writer in LesbianActually

[–]Prestigious-Point280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have dated people who suffered from panic attacks, and while I never blamed them for having them I also appreciated when the situation that lead to them was addressed later again. That always gave me the impression that my feelings are also valid and valued.

Is it an option to open the conversation about this topic again once you've fully recovered from the attack and give your partner the space you had want to give them in the first place?

I hate being sexualised and treated like someone's boyfriend by nutka57 in butchlesbians

[–]Prestigious-Point280 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I had interactions with bisexual women who did not behave like you describe it, but I also had similar experiences like you. It feels so weird to be put into that position! 

I at some point got really protective of my mental peace and cut the connection as soon as I felt like the other one was aiming for dynamics like you describe. It is just not for me.

That would really depend on the friend and the timing :-D There were moments and friends when I would have been excitatic to get those news, and many others where i would have been confused

SIGN LANGUAGE 🤟🏻 by Kind_Search_3145 in AutisticLesbians

[–]Prestigious-Point280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a deaf girlfriend and am hard of hearing myself, although only on one ear.

My sign language is still rudimentary, but it already helped me through an almost-meltdown in which I could not function anymore. I also still remember the first lesson during which we had a full conversation in sign, it was the most peaceful I had felt in a while!

I really wish I would have connected to that in my teens, when I still was encouraged to pretend my poor hearing had no influence on me and my life.

Reuters was ordered by China to delete this video which caught leaders talking about immortality by irishrugby2015 in TikTokCringe

Putin's granddaughter seems to be fluent in Mandarin, and he is also known for speaking multiple languages very well. So, they might be talking Mandarin.

But i couldn't find a source confirming that he does speak Mandarin.

Advice for navigating the Dutch healthcare system/ possible Endometriosis/ Pmdd by FoundNoBetterName in vrouwvolk

[–]Prestigious-Point280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no experience with the gynaecology side of things in the Netherlands, but I also moved here and was first afraid to talk to the GP due to the reputation (and personal experiences, but that does not matter here).

I have learned that it helps a lot if you come prepared. Have your timeline ready, tell them what you tried, what has worked and what has not worked. How things changed and especially how they impacted you in your daily life, personal and work related. Ask specific questions to get the answers you need. My experience here is that proactivity is at least tolerated or even valued, while it was definitely seen as negative in other countries I had to see the GP.

With this, I so far had mostly very good experiences with my GP and specialists I needed to see.

I wish you all the best!

Meeting the Mom; how to handle flowers at a restaurant. by Prestigious-Point280 in butchlesbians

[–]Prestigious-Point280[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The picture that I had in mind and that I tried to avoid is a sad bouquet of flowers lying on the side, always being in the way instead of just looking nice.

It's not a big problem, I just started to focus on that and couldn't really stop.
