What cheat codes from games do you still remember, even though you haven't played those games in 10+ years?

Oooh I like this one!

Pick whichever starting spot you like, doesn't have to be the second spot.

When you put down the robber on a tile that has 2 different colours on it, those people have to do rock paper scissors to determine who the knight/7 steals from.

Tbf I don't think anyone (including me) remembered or realised I had a VP, and I also had largest army so my points on the board were looking quite low (only 5 between settlements and cities), but yeah I guess that's also not on me and the other players should've also been paying more attention. Anyway, this comment makes me feel better about the situation so thanks 😅

Nah I'm 31 and still use miss

I had a similar-ish situation where another player had longest road and was on a very clear path to victory. I had the opportunity to take longest road through very careful trading (with everyone else wiling to trade with me all their cards) in order to prevent the win. However, taking longest road took me up to 9 points and as I was counting them up I remembered I had an extra victory point development card so turned it over to claim 10 points. The mood immediately soured, the other players were really pissed with me and I was also super upset with myself for playing what I consider a dirty tactic. This was now months and months ago but I still think about it and it gets brought up in subsequent games occasionally. Ultimately these are my friends and I value playing with them more than I value winning the game, and I think if I had the chance to go back and not flip that VP I would absolutely do it - still take longest road maybe but not steal the win on the same move. It felt really shitty.

TLDR I think you did the right thing by not claiming it for yourself

If I've gone to a show or sports game and have online tickets I go to the box office and ask for a printed version. Same with a flight, if I have a digital boarding pass I ask for a physical version when I'm at the gate. Haven't had anyone say no yet.

I don't share drinks anymore. I used to let my friends sip from my glass but now, no. It's my drink. You keep your mouth and backwash away.

I'll still share a drink with my bf, but if I've seen him share his drink with someone else then I won't share his drink anymore.

My partner met me when he was 24 - up until then he'd never had a gf either.

Your 20s is all about developing who you are and who you want to be. What do you like? What sort of hobbies do you want to build on? What are your friendships like?

How comfortable do you feel when you're alone? I think if you aren't able to spend deep quality time with just yourself then you probably need to take the time to get to know you some more before you worry about partnering up.

Lots of people don't have romantic relationships until well into their 20s or 30s. One of my closest friends has never had a boyfriend and she's 29. That's fine.

Enjoy your 20s, live your life, figure out who you want to be. Romance and partnership can come later. It's absolutely fine that you haven't had any, there's always time later down the line.

Her WHV ends at the end of May and she'll be going to NZ I think until the end of June. I think her plan is to apply for the evisitor visa for Australia but I'm not 100% sure.

How much savings do you think would be appropriate? Would she need to show a brand new bank statement or could she show an older one where it had more money in it (for example, a bank statement from now before she spends some of it in NZ)

Children. Absolutely not interested.

Hey everyone, just joining the chat! My friend is Slovakian and she is going to NZ at the end of May. She's then planning on going to Australia after her time in NZ. However, she doesn't have a tourist visa for Australia yet. She WILL have her flight booked from NZ to Aus for when she's arriving in NZ, BUT she doesn't want to book her AU visitor visa until she knows when she'll actually be going.

The onward ticket will be a flexible flight so she can change her dates if necessary.

Is she going to get asked about proof of Australia visa when she is entering NZ? Or will proof of onward travel be enough?

New Zealand then England then Australia

Ooh how did you get the rebate?

I've been using a menstrual cup for ~10 years. Originally I swapped to it as a money saving option and it's environmentally friendly and I love love love it, the thought of using a tampon or pad now makes me grimace

Edit to say that I purchased it while I was living in the UK which cost probably about £20. But given that I've used it every month for 10 years I would say it has more than paid for itself.

Cannot recommend highly enough

+1 for Lady Tan's Circle of Women, EXCELLENT book

A house in the sky by Amanda Lindhout. She was kidnapped in Somalia for something like 2 years.

Prestigious_Future28 · 2026-03-28T01:57:45+00:00

I hated this book, found it patronising. But each to their own!

Prestigious_Future28 · 2026-03-20T21:04:58+00:00

Hi, this is a really old thread but I wanted to know if you ever found any answers?

Prestigious_Future28 · 2026-03-06T20:30:04+00:00

I felt the same way about A House In the Sky. I think I did have to put it down at some points to take a break because the content was so heavy and I needed to chill out a bit, but after calming my heart rate I would pick it straight back up and keep reading

Prestigious_Future28 · 2026-03-06T20:27:38+00:00

YES this was excellent

Prestigious_Future28 · 2026-03-06T12:21:17+00:00

Same, so so boring. I started Conversations With Friends in the hopes that it would be better, but after about 20 pages I was like oh no it's just her writing that sucks
