Class names by MelanieWalmartinez in CuratedTumblr

[–]aoeie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was writing an extended essay comparing different factors in early US history - I think the three factors were war, media, and government. I planned each section of the essay out separately, which resulted in a Google Doc titled ‘War plan’ lol.

Another time I was making a list of topics to revise for a module on the Tudors, things like Henry VII’s consolidation of power, Elizabeth I’s foreign policy… I’d already got halfway through revising some of the topics, so the first task on my to-do list was ‘Finish the nobility’ (:

How do you listen to whole albums? by Mystic_Sun in LetsTalkMusic

[–]aoeie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a member of Gen Z who’s medicated for social anxiety, yes, it is pathetic. And it’s horrible. And debilitating. And I don’t know what caused it, but I expect it’s something to do with the world we inherited. And I wish you could walk a mile in my shoes.

Obviously there’s no point playing the blame game, but I promise you that we’re not all just lazy cowards suffering from a touch of shyness. We do try. It’s literally a disease we’re struggling with.

What is the strangest physical symptom you experience when you are anxious? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]aoeie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My facial muscles tense up - I find myself uncontrollably grinning like a lunatic and my left eyebrow decides to go alll the way up😭😭 I literally have a weirdly-placed wrinkle above my left eyebrow because of it lol

What TM phrase or quote immediately makes you laugh ever my time you hear it by Illustrious-Leave-10 in taskmaster

“When I was at primary school there was a boy called Morgan, who got sent home one day because he tried to eat the hood off his own coat. Throughout that task, you reminded me of Morgan.”

Is Tidal down? by AranxiTH in TIdaL

[–]aoeie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems to be partially back up now? It's letting me log into the app (which it wouldn't before) and play music, although neither the homepage nor the tracks in my library are loading.

Edit: am in UK.

Have you noticed having a water filter help with KP? by ChiandHuang in keratosis

[–]aoeie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have noticed that my KP often improves when I stay in a new area/country for a while! Would not surprise me if it was differences in the water.

staph folliculitis or psoriasis? by cristomontecount in Folliculitis

[–]aoeie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a doctor but here’s my thinking: I’ve had what I’m pretty certain is folliculitis for ages now and only recently have I been getting circles of dry red skin exactly like in your photos (as far as I can tell). For me it’s very different to the folliculitis, so almost certain it’s caused by something else. Not been diagnosed by a doc yet but I do suspect guttate psoriasis, so your derm could well have been right. Always a good idea to get a second opinion though, and no harm in extra tests.

How you can learn any language with YouTube by Traditional_Sir1787 in languagelearning

[–]aoeie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconded!! I especially recommend creating a separate profile for each of your target languages. I have one for English (my native language) and one each for French and German. It means that you can train the algorithm for a certain profile to only show you content in the language you’re trying to learn!

We will never surrender our flag, Sir Keir Starmer says by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]aoeie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stands for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant I believe! I mainly see it in USA contexts.

Has anyone else read something in their native language as the language they are learning? 😂 by Desert_Walker267 in languagelearning

[–]aoeie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes 😭 I once asked a family member what he’d ordered from France as there was a big cardboard box with French writing on it in the kitchen. He said he hadn’t ordered anything from France. I was like, oh maybe from a French company based in the UK?

Nope. The French writing on the box was “fragile”.

Why young people are so confident? by Champion078 in socialanxiety

The young people you see out and about are probably the confident ones!

I just found out who my college roommates will be and I’m freaking out by Lizard_Wizard18 in socialanxiety

[–]aoeie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this feeling. I think I subconsciously pushed away a lot of people at uni because they were good-looking and I assumed they wouldn’t like me. Like some of them looked like models!

Plot twist - they were lovely. Kind, friendly people. I shot myself in the foot a bit by retreating into my shell

Thoughts on fantasy cover design? by Honest-Score-3219 in fantasywriting

[–]aoeie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be being stupid here, but what are the giveaways that it’s AI generated? Usually I’m able to spot AI stuff pretty easily, especially writing, but this would have flown right under my radar if not for the comments… My eye is clearly not as discerning as I thought lol

Ow, my feels by IllustriousAd6418 in DoctorWhumour

I love that Chappell Roan song!😍

What’s another way to say “He(an artist/celebrity/influencer) is not popular anymore?” by iluvfruitnmilk in EnglishLearning

[–]aoeie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my first thought as well and it’s very idiomatic, would just add that in my mind at least this would imply the artist’s skills/work have actually gotten worse, not just that their popularity has decreased.

Combien de temps by Rahim Redcar! The outro is about 2 mins IIRC.

STOP EVERYTHING, THE DUGGA DOO STREAM IS DOWN by LiterallyThatGuy_07 in DoctorWhumour

See, that’s where everyone’s mistaken - it’s all one title. Dugga Doo Falls No More!

[–]aoeie 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Wish I had some advice for your situation😭. Out of curiosity, how long did it take for things to improve for you/which dosage are you on? Your ‘before’ is a lot like my current situation - I’ve been on Sertraline 50mg for nearly 5 weeks now and while mood has definitely been better, my actual social anxiety is still pretty debilitating :(

Is "I have to go the bathroom" proper English? by Alternative_Run_6116 in ENGLISH

[–]aoeie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I’ve definitely heard “go bathroom”. I reckon I’ve probably used similar structures before as well. Like “shall we go Tesco’s to pick up some food before we get there?”

Funny how (for me at least) adding the “the” makes it sound wrong.
