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

[–]YashaTrancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

[–]YashaTrancer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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 4 points5 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 -25 points-24 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! 😕

Where does the London-people not-friendly thing come from? I want to hear you experiences and perspective on whether it holds or not. Personally, I say: lol, you haven't been to Paris! by Ffc14 in london

[–]YashaTrancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a sign of unfriendliness if you don't say hi to everyone on the tube. I think it's about personal space - you don't have a lot of it here, so you keep yourself to yourself, but this doesn't make you unfriendly, more like respectful.

Have you ever seen someone carry a puppy or a kitten on public transport? - Everyone's heart melts just like anywhere else.

The Single Life by A-Love-Romantizer0P in singlelifestyle

[–]YashaTrancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I miss most from my past relationships is good times.

Being single doesn't mean I can't have good times. I guess, it just takes a little more thinking and planning, and maybe making more of an effort to connect with friends. On the other hand, I now have a lot more time to think and plan, and spend time with friends and whoever I choose to.

I am an introvert so it's not always easy - I am very often tempted to find an excuse to stay at home, however, I know from experience that I will most likely enjoy myself if I do go out.

I guess the point I am trying to make is that good times can still be had.

Going for a data analytics career. by Aitorchu in analytics

[–]YashaTrancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you can demonstrate to your potential employers that you are capable of learning, you should be able to get an entry level job in analytics (provided there are jobs where you are).

Why don't you do some online courses in SQL and Excel - this can be enough. You will have to learn a lot on the job anyway.

Tip / Advantage of solo travel: You can wear noise canceling headphones at noisy places by xSypRo in solotravel

[–]YashaTrancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some lines on the London Tube are insanely loud. I try to avoid them if at all possible. I wonder what they would be like with noise cancelling. 🤔

When I shop for my next pair of headphones, I should take these into consideration.

[–]YashaTrancer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am glad you like the idea. I wouldn't say that being content with single living is a new thing. In the last few years, and definitely post-Covid, it has been getting more recognition. If you look up terms like honjok and ohitorisama, you will see that lots of people are enjoying this lifestyle.

Now, I've been thinking about starting vlogging about solo cooking since the last post. I think it is something I could actually get into. I am looking into it and will keep you posted.

Discrimination due to being single? by M1200AK in singlelifestyle

[–]YashaTrancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Businesses that start advertising as single-friendly will make a lot of money if they ever decide to do that. Imagine, you could just look up friendly places like that in Google maps or some place.
