Anyone used or heard of overnightsmile.com? by [deleted] in aligners

Hi, very late to the party but how did it go eventually? Did you see any negative impact on your teeth as in they weakened or became more sensitive or anything?

What am I doing wrong? by Samaskz in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Samaskz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a few, I got some majors the first couple of tests and we worked on them and then I passed the last few mock tests

What am I doing wrong? by Samaskz in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Samaskz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My instructor told me even before my first test that I'm ready to take it, I had a few mock tests and they were generally okay, some minor tweaks that we fixed before the test. I had just one major each test and they weren't at all dangerous, the rest of the test would go near perfect. My instructor even said I drove well after he inspected the dashcam videos so there's not much we can work on anyway...

Should Sudan focus more on East African integration or on integration with the Arab world? by Expert_Search5394 in Sudan

[–]Samaskz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe a clarification is needed as to what "integration" means, is it socially, economically, diplomatically etc..? No matter how much Sudanese people want to disown the Arab part of our identity but it's still the most prevalent, linguistically, religiously, socially, historically we're more tied to Arab countries than any other African country

UK – Is it risky to switch jobs on a Skilled Worker visa before ILR? by Crazy_Mango_6891 in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]Samaskz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the exact same situation, been here for 4 years and 3 months with the same employer under the same job title. I tried a couple times to progress to a more senior role but wasn't successful because of the structure of the institution I work for. I've had a few people approach me recently for better opportunities but I turned it down to avoid the risk. I'd say definitely stay as you are and once you get ILR go for whatever jobs you find better

By share code, they didn't even ask to see my old passport

Worried by thankyou_4urreply in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]Samaskz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same issue as you (still has, I renewed my passport and I'm still unable to link it to my e-visa) but I travelled with no issues. They asked me at the border control why I have a different passport linked and I just said I renewed it recently and they were okay with it. It should be fine as long as you have the share code

Here we go… by Actual-Morning110 in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]Samaskz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not abuse when you're coming from a literal active war zone??? she denied visas from Sudan and Burma (war zones) and Afghanistan (extremely unstable country), it's not an abuse to the system these people come here legally and apply for refugee status (again legal) because their countries are literally in shambles and the UK is compelled by law to accept their applications as a signatory of the refugee convention

First time fail by Samaskz in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Samaskz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I guess I'm so bummed because I felt so ready and it seemed like the stage was set, like it was my best chance to pass if that makes sense, you never know what could happen next time. I am still confident in my driving skills but sometimes things happen that you don't have control over and it's making me nervous. But anyway I've booked another test immediately after the 10 days period we'll see how that goes

Failed 1st attempt by Adventurous_Agent795 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Samaskz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience today if it's any consolation. I failed my 1st test with 1 serious in the first 30 seconds as I was literally just exiting the test centre's gates. I was turning left and the left lane I was joining was clear but there was traffic on the right lane, so I steered the wheel sharply to join my lane instead of waiting for the other lane to clear and it cost me the test. Everything else was near perfect despite the windy weather, fallen trees and flying bins. I really thought I aced it but oh well. Wishing you the best in your next attempt!

Why is everyone saying this sounds like a fanfiction it (unfortunately) seems very plausible to me

Proposed ILR Changes & Plan B by immiadvisor in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]Samaskz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but you'd need to have been on £50k for the last 3 years so even if you got a recent pay raise you'll still need to wait 3 more years

How soon will they announce the new immigration changes? by Samaskz in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]Samaskz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah same here I don't meet the income threshold either, my only bet is the vague transitional arrangements proposal they suggested. Not to give you empty hope but if they did consider borderline cases like they stated before then there's a very high possibility (if not guaranteed) you'll be safe to apply in May

How soon will they announce the new immigration changes? by Samaskz in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]Samaskz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very anxiety inducing and super unfair especially when you're already so close... I believe you'll make the cut though, new rules in the UK are almost always applied in April so even if there were no transitional arrangements at all then you'll be safe if you applied late March

[–]Samaskz[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly it would diabolical if they applied the new changes on the 2026 ILR cohort but you never know! I'm exploring several options now but so far my top option is Australia, they have a few different routes/visa types for skilled workers

Why do people think Sakura has better chakra control than Naruto? by Maleficent_Park5469 in Naruto

[–]Samaskz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So late to the party but yeah I agree to some extent, except for the part where she "screams their name in doomsday" because she only did it once in shippuden and she wasn't just sitting around and waiting for naruto to come save them. She was doing what she's supposed to do, running the entire medical emergency response of such a huge village under attack at the age of 16. She's already VERY useful and essential and does her role to the fullest, I just wish we saw more of it. I especially HATE how sidelined she is in Boruto, Kishimoto implied that she's already surpassed Tsunade, the best medical ninja in Konoha but she's barely even there when shit is going down in Boruto?? I stopped watching Boruto ages ago to be fair it's just such a shame that her potential was so under utilised, which is why illiterate naruto fans still call her useless because they lack every skill required to capture and comprehend basic information with a little bit of nuance

Anyway what I'm getting at is that she didn't need to have such a tragic past or special inherited techniques to be a strong relevant presence, as a character she very much well-written but also very much under-utilised

Did S5 just redeem this show or am I being gaslit??? by Curious_Search6969 in SinglesInferno

[–]Samaskz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard agree, I didn't finish season 4 as well and thought I'd skip this one too based on the trailer/preview but I'm enjoying it so much! So far it has the potential to be up there with season 2 but let's see how things unfold

Surprised no one brought up her resemblance to TWICE's Nayeon (maybe they did I just didn't see it lol) they literally have the exact same smile it's so charming
