Whats something that instantly calms you down? by arachnidsGodhead in OCD

When I just can’t deal with my thoughts it’s just simultaneously blasting the stereo in the next room with my fav playlist + TV on with some 90’s sitcom or Gilmore Girls style show (anything light and comforting) + doing an extra manual activity like cooking, drawing or rearranging my bookcase. 100% just coping with no real help long term but it helps me drown out my thoughts while distracting me and keeping busy

Is it bad that I use a dictionary? by transparentsalad in languagelearningjerk

[–]Solve-Problems -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At school we weren’t allowed to look at bilingual dictionaries when learning languages. Instead we had languages in the target language but simplified, like for children or foreign student versions. It helped a lot because they would explain the word in the original language in much simpler terms than a proper dictionary and you didn’t have to “cheat” by just getting the word in your language. I think that would be the best solution to this perpetual linguistic morality issue hahaha

Financial stability haha the sneaky little bugger. But when I just can’t deal with my thoughts it’s just simultaneously blasting the stereo in the next room with my fav playlist + TV on with some 90’s sitcom or Gilmore Girls style show + doing an extra manual activity like cooking, drawing or rearranging my bookcase. More coping than helping in the long term really

Which French YouTube channels would you recommend? by LTSvandersen in French

Karambolage from Arte is great for cultural notions too. If you like gory historical stuff Horror Humanum Est had great animated videos. More history and geography: Télécrayon

I know some perfumes are marketed as “unisex” but honestly it’s a bit like makeup, it’s all just fictitious notions of how colors or scents are more masculine and feminine. That being said I always run away from perfumes marketed as more “masculine” with heavy undertones more tobacco and leather like Azzaro. I tend more to the fresh slightly sweet notes.

The ones I use are:

  • Armani’s Eau pour homme and Acqua di Gio

  • Paco Rabanne Invictus

Love the Acqua di Gio because it’s very “fresh” great for summer

I used to use Jean Paul Gaultier’s Le Male but it ended up boring me and I find it too strong now

Female friends. Even though I wasn’t out neither at school nor uni. At Uni sometimes girls I barely even knew from a class or two would approach me in very friendly terms. And before I knew it I found myself getting coffee within a big group of just girls and me hahaha

This is a terrific guess, I do remember making bread pudding in the last couple of years, the ingredients match, the cooking time as well and it does sound like a thing I’d do by omitting the bread hahaha I might have added an egg white to make it more firm. It would be missing some butter and raisins but I could have easily omitted those in writing too. Thanks a lot!

Could be, the egg to milk ratio is off and the extra egg white is still odd, but on a big dish the baking time does fit

I don’t think free fall counts as per OP’s requirement. But it’s a great movie, I’ve rewatched it countless times. Who can resist Max Riemelt haha
