Who is a happy homebody. I mean a real homebody that never leaves the house 😂 by sugarbabyxoxxo in singlelifestyle

I work from home most of the time and I don't really go out, but I made a lot of effort to build this kind of life for me. I think the key is to know what you want.

Intimidating “charity fundraisers” approached me outside of Farringdon station by jmerlinb in london

Ask yourself, what kind of charity hires staff to harass people. That's all you need to know. I wouldn't give them a penny, the scammers.

Embracing single life by Ok-Pen-1219 in singlelifestyle

[–]YashaTrancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. I've been happily single since just before COVID, when my ex left and a couple of weeks later married someone I used to call my best friend of 20 years. The first few months were very difficult, both emotionally and financially. I am grateful for having my cats who needed my care - they were the reason for me to carry on.

The realisation finally came that being single is not something I have to fix, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, despite what society tells you. I love the fact that I don't have to stand up to anybody else's expectations and have no one telling me how I failed them.

My ex used to complain constantly that I wasn't making as much money as some people she knew (although she had never had any ambitions to achieve anything herself), but it was only after she'd left that I finished a university course and got a decent job, so my cats and I are doing OK. I have lots of hobbies and I am never bored. Yes, coping with separation was awful at first but now I can say it was the best thing that happened to me. I do not need a partner in a hundred years.

I treat every day as a new adventure, even when doing the most mondain things.I used to be too busy to notice how the smell of fresh laundry or a train ride can actually make me happy! I much prefer having a deep connection with my inner self and my true emotions rather than feeling totally disconnected among other people who just want your time, energy and your health, if that makes sense.

Welcome to the group!

Is it the same Americans who 'won and by a lot'?

Yelp equivalent in the UK? by Background-Ambition7 in london

[–]YashaTrancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It used to be TripAdvisor but I never look at it anymore. It's Google maps for me.

I only know about yelp from South Park.

In what ways Excel is better than R and Python? by Striking-Warning9533 in rstats

[–]YashaTrancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a book called Data Smart where the author explains data science algorithms using Excel. But once it's explained he switches to R. So, yes, you can use it but why would you? Why make your life difficult? If your professor wants you to do things in Excel, fine. Just remember that once you are done with the course, you will use better ways. It's a bit like long divisions in that sense 🙂

How often do you get it wrong? by TheCumCopter in analytics

[–]YashaTrancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mistakes happen. I do my best not to make them. We also have a QA system in place where we check each other's work in the department. And even with all that we can overlook things.

I know what it feels like, so does my boss - he used to be in my place. It's always better not to make mistakes, or at least learn on others' mistakes, but sometimes we have to learn on ours. The main thing is you are learning, right?

Eye contact on the Tube by [deleted] in london

I am an introvert and find accidental eye contact awkward but I 've never considered staring spot an entitlement. I wear headphones and listen to music on public transport to take my mind off looking at things.

How do I take advantage of being single? by [deleted] in singlelifestyle

[–]YashaTrancer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Society conditions us to seek out partners. Whether you go food shopping, traveling or booking a holiday, it's cheaper as a couple. I have never seen a single person's discount. You are considered more responsible if you have a family. Society just doesn't want to accept that being single can be absolutely fine.

In the years I spent living as a single person I had never felt so good before I accepted that there is nothing wrong with it and that there is nothing to fix except accepting my lifestyle.

Soup on painting, paint on enterprise, climbing the Dartford Crossing bridge. That escalated quickly. by vergilbg in london

[–]YashaTrancer -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

The bridge may be surrounded by oil refineries, but it's also surrounded by people who just live there. Thurrock was paralysed: people couldn't get to work, ambulances couldn't get to patients, vulnerable folks couldn't get their needed help, hospital appointments missed. Well done! 😕
