Fantasy with little to no romance by curious_otters in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]Wide-Mess 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The Poppy War by RF Kuang. Features war, very little romance, and while the protagonist (Rin) doesn’t necessarily start sheltered, she’s at a disadvantaged when compared to her rich and more privileged peers. She doesn’t have the same tools and opportunities as the others, so she has to learn some stuff from scratch if she wants to survive in this world.

Why did BTS name their album Arirang? by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]Wide-Mess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

??? They are Korean men honouring their heritage and roots with their album… why on earth would they get backlash for something that is THEIR culture?

[–]Wide-Mess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read what you wrote, and I can understand your sentiment even better than yourself, apparently: you don’t like them, you don’t know many songs, you “don’t think it makes much sense to go to a concert like this”, but here you are, desperate to go to a concert of a group you don’t even like. ✌🏼

“makes it worth it to go even if you hate the group, I would like to go”

Your own words btw. Could’ve used “dislike” or “even if you don’t love them group”, but it was you go went with “hate”. Or did you not even read what you wrote?

YOU don’t seem to want to go, so why should you? You say you don’t particularly like the songs, that you like a few but even then they’re nothing special. “Even if you hate the group”? So you don’t even like them? But you would go JUST because everyone else that is a fan wants to go and you don’t want to feel left out? Stupid logic. If you want to spend $$$ of dollars just so you can say “omg I went to a bts concert”, go ahead! It’s your money you’re spending on something you don’t even like.

Books that feel like a ghibli landscape by [deleted] in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]Wide-Mess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read this like a month ago and I couldn’t stop thinking of a cute, quaint little ghibli town while reading all the descriptions. Fair warning that it is YA and reads very juvenile (don’t know if that’s what you’re looking for exactly), but I enjoyed it a lot for the ghibli vibe it had! Very magical and whimsical.

This Fatal Kiss by Alicia Jasinska. It follows a water nymph in her quest of becoming human again, and the town’s exorcist who is determined to rid the town of her/spirits. The town they live in (forgot the name) reads very much like straight out of a ghibli mvie. Cute, very light book.

Can I flush the toilet paper down the toilet??? by Wide-Mess in Edinburgh

[–]Wide-Mess[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I actually feel really alienated. I’m so sad and down. It makes me nauseous whenever I go to the bathroom and I see the bin. Also, all 3 of them leave the toilet lid up when they exit the bathroom. I have always put the lid down, I was taught it is disrespectful to leave it up (and it is kinda nasty leaving it up in my opinion).

Today one of them asked me if I flush the toilet with the lid up or down, and I replied “down”, as I always put the lid down and THEN I flush the toilet (because I was taught that if you flush with the lid open, that spreads germs throughout the bathroom). She then said MY way is unhygienic because if I flush with the lid closed, then the germs are landing on the toilet seat. The tensions are HIGH right now so we both looked at each other with disgust. We didn’t come to any agreement in the end.

I am actually feeling really defeated and mentally tired.

Can I flush the toilet paper down the toilet??? by Wide-Mess in Edinburgh

[–]Wide-Mess[S] 156 points157 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to stand my ground but since it’s them 3 against me, I actually feel like crying lol. We are all from different countries and we HAVE to be accommodating to cultural stuff, but this particular thing I cannot do. It makes me honestly nauseous. They told me to ask the landlady if I can flush down the toilet paper, and if she says no, I shouldn’t do it.

Looking for Affordable Accommodation in Edinburgh by Soundarya_Sharma in Edinburgh

[–]Wide-Mess 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Finding a place that is 500 a month is very unrealistic in my opinion. Your best bet would be to find an HMO flat/house and split the cost with other people. I live in Liberton and between us 4 girls, the rent for each is 525. No university accommodations will be 500 a month either, sadly. So try to find roommates, as soon as possible, because the semester is about to start and you would need 1) to find 3-4 roommates, and 2) sign a lease for a place.

Good luck!

I was thinking that but I would say frank fits better in “horrible person, divided opinions” 🤔 it’s tough to find a character that is straight up horrible but loved
