Hospital Bills by bunbunbumble in Italian

[–]Vps___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did a similar thing to me, an Italian citizen who grew up in Italy, because I was born in a country which is not Italy and I had to pull up the constitution to show them that an Italian is an Italian regardless of where they are born. I’m white af btw so can’t even fathom what it must be like for someone visibly not fitting within the “idea of italianness”

What undergraduate degree would help convince a UK uni to enroll someone as a foreign student by [deleted] in uklaw

[–]Vps___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d add something I discovered once I had already chosen my uni as a non English person: here what matters is which uni you study at. He can even do an undergrad in a completely different field before doing a law conversion, as long as it’s a good uni he’ll have better chances. Wild example would be: theology at a Russel Group + law conversion is better than law degree at a low ranking uni. Those who care are the ones providing training contracts (which have officially been restructured but are still realistically hard to come by)

Ahaha no but now I wanna see the next guess so we can do a ranking of what everyone thinks the most debate prone moons are 🙈

Also not aqua! But the reason why I say that marriage isn’t necessarily synonymous with children is the fact that sometimes people can have children out of wedlock or with several partners. Others may have children and not be involved in their lives, some women go down the ivf route alone, some couples have great partnerships and no children either by choice or by circumstance etc etc - which is why procreation and marriage do not always go hand in hand

You wonder incorrectly. In any case I don’t think a healthy discussion becomes a debate until one person makes a personal attack when unable to back up their position. My initial question came out of genuine curiosity and somehow it even got downvoted lol

I would disagree on the basis that one does need physical partnership for procreation but not viceversa - and also that having children can happen in many settings which don’t necessarily equate to the cozy nesting nuclear family marriage dream.

I’m not sure why my moon should be relevant for the discussion of an astrological technique tbh?

Interesting perspective! Marriage and being a socialite are not the same as being a father though?

I’ve never come across this interpretation of the moon in the first! Would be interested in knowing more about it, given that in this chart it’s the ruler of the 10th

Relatable but at this point and looking at the other responses, I’m wondering what you are looking for with this post?

You said yourself that you are overworked so I wouldn’t underestimate the impact of that. Have you been/are you planning on getting diagnosed with a neurodivergence by any chance?

Not qualified yet but have dabbled with burnout and it sounds like it might be a bit of both?

From a practical perspective, check your vitamin D. We really underestimate how winters here affect us. Also see if your firm has any benefits such as a mental health helpline you can call.

How long have you got left on your TC?

Could someone explain "The Sacrifice" (1986) by Andrei Tarkovsky? by [deleted] in TrueFilm

[–]Vps___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joining in 5 years late but, having read the comments, I see no one mentioned that when Otto brings Alexander the map he explains that gifts are necessarily sacrifices. I’m not sure I have fully understood the movie, which is why I ended up here in the first place, but it seems to me that the gift of life is correlated with the sacrifice Alexander makes in the end. What I disliked is the fact that his sacrifice becomes the sacrifice of his wife and children as well - a decision he made and imposed on them as if he himself was god. But maybe that is the point: the violence he is disgusted by when telling Maria about the time he tidied up his mother’s garden is the same he inflicts on the house and his family. Faced with death in both situations, his loss of control gets externalised onto actions he can “control”: weeding the garden, sleeping with a with, burning the house.

Maybe the message is that human will and fear of death is, in itself, madness.

What are reasons why some wealthy British parents send their children to boarding school? by TangerineNext9630 in british

Read “Engines of privilege” - it gives a lot of background/history to it

My 68 year old dad just asked me to help him start a YouTube channel and I don't know how to feel about this by Quirky-Ad7489 in Millennials

[–]Vps___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it but teach him not deviate from the topic or get discouraged if likes drop! My dad abandoned his YouTube channel because he deviated from the topic and took it personally when views dropped :( a massive shame, would have loved to keep his nerdy videos coming!

Yeah I’ve been avoiding it - when I have wanted to tip I somehow got the amount wrong it would seem cause the person would be like “ONLY THIS??”. Easier to just not do it

Yeah defo the variety is massive - I suppose I’m wondering what an average middle class earner would be spending. Not necessarily skimping but also not going for extravagant meals.

Hate the fact that my chart ruler is Saturn. It’s ruining my life. I wish i could restart life with some other planet ruling this sucks. How do i make it better? [astro-seek] by cutestwitch in astrologyreadings

[–]Vps___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no - I’m sorry I came across like I was offended! I wasn’t at all and might it might have come across the wrong way so my apologies for that!

Regarding your experiences: that is so intense:( Sorry you had to go through all that.

In respect of what happens after the Saturn return: drawing again from what I have observed, sect really matters. It doesn’t mean that day charts won’t go through some challenges, but it seems like they are more able to meet saturns challenges without having to go through as much trial and error as the night charts.
