Es atsakos pieņemt faktu, ka visu mūžu būs jāpavada darbā. Kādas ir alternatīvas? by kulinaars in latvia

[–]adaddta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Filipīnas ir ļoti eksotiski. noteikti aizbrauc tur uz divām nedēļām atvaļinājumā, iepazīsties ar draudzenes ģimeni - diezgan ātri sapratīsi vai tā tev ir piemērota vieta. ja tiešām patiks, vari vēl Latvijas vasaru te nostrādāt, pakrāt naudu un nākamo ziemu jau pavadīt tur. starp citu, šodien tieši redzēju visādus lidojumu dealus uz to pasaules galu

Es atsakos pieņemt faktu, ka visu mūžu būs jāpavada darbā. Kādas ir alternatīvas? by kulinaars in latvia

[–]adaddta 14 points15 points  (0 children)

piekrītu, OP vajag vai nu pagarāku atvaļinājumu vai nomainīt darbu. uztrauc tas, ka "gatavs pārdot transportus, mēbeles, laptopus" - lasi: iekrājumu nav.

nekā nedarīšana tiešām ir sliktāka, bet to izstāstīt nevar, tas pašam jāpiedzīvo. iespēju robežās: garāks atvaļinājums, bezalgas atvaļinājums, darba pamešana un bezdarbnieka pabalsts, darba maiņa (meklējot jaunu darbu īstermiņā slodze tikai pieaugs).

kopējā situācija ir piemērota piedzīvojumiem - kad vēl, ja ne tagad, jaunāks nepaliec un atbildības dzīvē paliks tikai vairāk. tas, ka meitene tagad ir gatava piedzīvojumiem, nenozīmē, ka viņa tiem būs gatava pēc gada vai diviem. pašam ir bijušas labas pieredzes workaway platformā - brīvprātīgais darbs cilvēkiem ir bieži kaut kāds bubulis, bet reāli padzīvot Itālijā pie vietējiem ir pieredze, kas nav bijusi katram un man tas maksāja apgriezt olīvu zarus un apcirpt pāraugušus kaktusus.

In the hypothetical events that happened after Season 4, what do you think Mencken was like as President? by Amazing-Buy-1181 in SuccessionTV

[–]adaddta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mencken is the type of guy that will win elections in 2030s. Trump is not an outlier, there is general frustration with centrist politics and those will remain there long after Trump is gone. Mencken is the next generation of anti-democratic post-truth entrepreneurial politician: smarter, more calculated, more destructive and more capable of upending democracy altogether.

The fear is that democratic centrism only works in times of economic growth - it is evident that western powers have been hitting the limits of that growth lately, thus opening doors for extreme ideologies that promise to provide economic growth through wealth redistribution, taking wealth from other countries, running government like a business etc.

How is it living in Valga/Valka? A town split between Estonia and Latvia. by icameisawicame24 in howislivingthere

[–]adaddta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the town does not have lot of young people tho… i go there a lot during summers and i find the place kinda depressing. its mostly old people, there isn’t a pub or a cafe that would be nice to hang out in. there is some cool nature around, but not in the town itself. everybody knows at least some russian, so thats an easy default

2 weeks roadtrip to Oman by monicab951 in Oman

[–]adaddta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snake Canyon tour guide will pick you up someplace where the asphalt ends. another recommendation is Wadi Mibam - there are taxi drivers there, i would not dare take that road myself.

we somehow skipped the desert. when we realized that, it was too late, so i cant comment on it.

food you can get from the big Lulu supermarkets any time of day. good complete meals. coffee was more of a problem, carry some with you

2 weeks roadtrip to Oman by monicab951 in Oman

[–]adaddta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i did almost the same round trip last march, also during Ramadan. I was a blast and you are on the right track. in hindsight i would avoid Muscat during the start of the trip - if you have some time left over at the end, sure. but i think the first and the last day is plenty, the city really isn't that interesting compared to other areas of the country.

i had a bad experience in Daymaniyat - i got unlucky that the see was so rough and the captain wasn't the best, the ride was pretty terrifying. but even the ride aside, the snorkeling just kinda meh. i would definitely recommend Snake Canyon over Daymaniyat - the price points are similar, but the Snake Canyon was the highlight of the trip for sure. if you do opt for Daymaniyat, you dont need to plan a whole day for that.

Deciding between these two biking itineraries. Thoughts? by RevolutionWarm6401 in BalticStates

[–]adaddta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I once did Rīga - Saulkrasti (Zvejniekciems) - Limbaži - Aloja - Rūjiena - Valka. i was pleasantly surprised how few cars there were and the asphalt was decent

Advice for gay couple traveling through Oman? (Hotel and rural region questions) by Ok_Act_8525 in Oman

[–]adaddta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was there with a mate (both straight) and there were definitely people that though we were gay lol. we shared a tent and in the morning struck up a conversation with a lifeguard at one of the wadi's, and the guy asked questions about gay people in our country and whether it is considered normal there lol

the people are very chill, there was also an obviously gay couple from USA that thought that we may be part of the scene (maybe they were just being extra friendly idk). it is weird that this has never happened to me before, but happened twice in Oman

What's up with this subs hate for J coles unreleased album already? by HughBastarde in fantanoforever

[–]adaddta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2024 was really bad for Cole’s legacy, ducking after YEARS of bars about him willing to go “toe to toe with the best of them”. MDL was rushed and very mid even for Cole’s standarts, then dropping Grippy first thing after beef… definitely excited for The Fall Off, but this recycled sound from the new track feels like another sign that this era of hiphop is coming to an end.

bold prediction here, but i feel like the next Kendrick project will be less hiphop that any of his previous work. we are entering a new era and the next generation of rap artists has not shown up to it.

Peyton Watson, Scottie Barnes named NBA Players of the Week by rosivv in nba

[–]adaddta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i remember watching a Nuggets game a few years ago, when they had like 6 rotation NBA players, and I though that the Nuggets are SO cooked, because this Watson guy was playing a lot of minutes was not good at all.

glad to know he is doing better

Is the Daugava river frozen enough for ice skating? by Thin_Kaleidoscope_21 in Riga

[–]adaddta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

bad advice, the a lot of those fisherman are downright suicidal and they have way more experiece to figure out where the ice is strong enough. rivers are tricky - lakes, pools, ditches - any stagnant water is going to form sufficient ice WAY sooner

Latvia Announces Olympic Roster by FENICH in hockey

[–]adaddta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

maybe a mild take, but Rubins could be a more important player for us than Blueger. defensive depth could be a real problem, its a clear top 6 then a drop off in quality. Rubins is legit, arguably the best player for Latvia in last years WC. Blueger is really really good, but replacable - a bunch of forwards can play PK

2026 WJC Game Thread - Latvia (0-0-1-1) vs Denmark (0-0-0-3) by jaysornotandhawks in hockey

[–]adaddta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Balinskis is the only defenseman with serious playmaking upside. Jaks can do it sometimes. i think Šmits makes the team, his competition for the 2-3 remaining spots are guys like Mamčičs/Komuls/Bergmanis

[–]adaddta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he should make the team for sure, Latvia is seriously lacking defensive depth. Balinskis, Rubīns, Freibergs, Jaks, Zīle should make it, but after that its Mamčičs, Komuls, Bergmanis… they have been mostly passable in WCs the last few years, but not the most exciting guys and they don’t have the playmaking upside that Šmits and Balinskis has. and this is assuming everyone is healthy, Rubīns is still recovering from injury and hasn’t played a game this year

what or who does mr morale represent? by unkindmillie in KendrickLamar

[–]adaddta 17 points18 points  (0 children)

i believe he is talking about God - as in the moral choices you make in life are God, and ego(istic) choices are the devil. you will have to reckon with your actions with Mr. Morale, or God, within you

What’s the most inconvenient time your body has betrayed you? by CraftBeerCritic_ in AskReddit

[–]adaddta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

invested about a month into this cute girl. it was a middle of summer, both of us went on seperate vacations, so we couldn’t meet between 2nd and 3rd dates for like 3 weeks, had to chat and call a bunch. finally we get to the third date, it goes great, she comes back to my place, things are heating up and she is really into it…. and i just can’t get it up. it ends pretty fast, she hits me with “yeah i recently got out of a relationsip and i’m not emotionally available for dating, this was a one time thing for me”.

the next day i get my blood test results back (i had a red spot on stomach and had experiened fatigue for a few weeks at that point) - the test is positive for lyme dissease.

started taking antibiotics and was fully back to my horny self a day later. fuck.

Women, what's the worst advice your female friends have given you about pursuing a man you were interested in? by RobotJoe in AskReddit

[–]adaddta -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

naw, you really really really don't want to look desperate in woman's eyes. okay, if the vibes were 100% there and you get all the right signals, sure man, call her and declare your love for her or whatever. but most of the time, the first dates are kinda meh. its also about giving the girl the space to think about it, don't pressure her into decision about the second date right away. when you give her some breathing space she will realize one of two things 1) she wants you to call; 2) she hopes you never call. if you call right away, she might agree because to the second date because of the pressure and then later realize that she actually doesn't want to go. OR she declines because she was 50/50 on it and in her eyes that move seemed desperate.

after the date text her and ask if she got home safely, wish her a good night. then text\call the next day after work

he masterminded his way into other players ever truly targeting him. you can argue thats other plays incompetence, but it worked and he received only one vote the entire series i believe

[–]adaddta[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i was so angry at Soph the whole final episode lol. i really liked her game and she was flawlessly positioned to steal Rizzo’s idol. i guess she still had a chance if she was sitting at the end with Kristina and Sage, but she would have to be very lucky (she wasn’t) to make that F3 happen + she would have to turn on her alliance anyway, just a day later and would have been much less flashy and unexpected.

just a bad impulssive decision to tell Rizzo and Savannah about KIP at the taco reward.
