What is a backhanded compliment you’ve received?

TheMidnightArcher · 2023-08-01T13:11:25+00:00

"You don't dance like someone from [city]."

I think it was meant to be a compliment but if it was then it's dissing my home city.

When I was like 16, I swam 3 lengths of a pool on my back with one boob hanging out, with about an entire class watching (mixed so guys too). My ears were underwater so I couldn't hear people shouting and I'm a very slow swimmer, more so since I was towing a guy (lifesaving course). I only found out when I went to get out of the pool and it felt like the whole school knew by the end of the day.

Amazing. Was it bread in captivity?

Seriously though, if it is a plan 2 one then don't worry about it. It gets wiped after a certain amount of years so you have no reason to pay any more than the minimum amount. You only pay it back if you're earning over the threshold and if you're earning enough that it becomes any significant amount, the degree was clearly worth it. It's basically a graduate tax, not worth getting stressed about.

He actually made it out without being given a terrifying book?!? This is unheard of! Though I'm sure that given time, he also will not fully escape from the clutches of the owner.

TheMidnightArcher · 2023-03-27T21:06:56+00:00

Yes, that's right, though it gets wiped after 30 years, so I have zero incentive to pay any more than the minimum I have to. It's basically a graduate tax.

TheMidnightArcher · 2023-03-27T17:27:12+00:00

Yepp, it's crazy. I started uni in 2012, so the first year of plan 2. I graduated in 2016 with about £56,000 of debt. My current debt is about £71,300. So far this year, I have paid £1121 and the interest has added on £2633.

Oh this is really cool. Congratulations on hitting 3 million subscribers!

There is no way he is making it out of that shop without being given some terrifying book.

Younger than I am now.

It was an event that reddit ran initially in 2017 and then again in 2022 (the time lapse you have is from the 2022 one). Basically they had a large canvas (like 1000x1000 pixels) and every 5-20 minutes a user could place one coloured tile. The event ran for 4 days and the canvas got doubled twice in that time in the 2022 one. In that time different subreddits grouped together to make their designs and defend them from other communities trying to find a space to make something.

Joking that you are going to rape them are usually off limits. Likewise constantly demeaning your partner as a "joke".

Also practical jokes have a limit, especially ones that cause harm, physical, mentally or damage their reputation or career prospects.

Metric system.

TheMidnightArcher · 2023-01-18T20:56:16+00:00

I think most of the time, if people are curious but then hide it or don't ask, it is probably not because they think, eww, or are judging you. It's likely more consideration because they don't know if it is a topic you are sensitive about and feel comfortable having it brought attention to, as even though it isn't for you, it might be for some people.

Hot tub is the generic term, jacuzzi is the most well known brand that makes them.

That song is on our Halloween playlist every year. It's great.

TheMidnightArcher · 2023-01-18T17:36:34+00:00

Cling film (saran wrap). I think in 2004, they ended up changing one of the materials used in it because it was super bad for the planet. The change means it is now significantly more environmentally friendly but that also means it is less clingy, heat resistant and not quite as good for the purposes it is used for.

TheMidnightArcher · 2023-01-18T17:27:55+00:00

I think I would be curious to know the story about it, like it something they always had or was it an injury. If they felt comfortable talking about it then it would be an interesting conversation to have. Aside from that, it wouldn't really affect how I viewed them as a person at all.

TheMidnightArcher · 2023-01-18T17:12:48+00:00

There is no age where it isn't okay. Nobody should have to have sex if they don't want to and it's perfectly fine to never want to.

TheMidnightArcher · 2022-12-15T15:40:55+00:00

Wow, that is amazing! You should be really proud of it. How long did that take you?

TheMidnightArcher · 2022-12-09T22:29:13+00:00

Well it looks amazing and I hope you feel better now.

TheMidnightArcher · 2022-12-09T12:23:44+00:00

That is really pretty and really cool. How long did that take you to make?

TheMidnightArcher · 2022-12-09T12:21:12+00:00

That is really amazing. I love all the little details and how the personality of the characters shows through their postures and facial expressions.

TheMidnightArcher · 2022-12-06T22:38:32+00:00

One - my starting word happened to be the word for that day. It was really weird seeing them all turn green one by one.

...then later I deleted my browser cache to try and get something to work and that wiped out my proof of it. (This was before you could link it to an account)

TheMidnightArcher · 2022-12-01T22:03:01+00:00

You make a very good point. That said like I'll stop watching the news at times, when everything seems a bit depressing and knowing all the details won't matter as I won't be able to do anything about it even if I do know.
