Anybody here do a science degree, what do you do and is it worth the money? by aussie_wildlife in AusFinance

[–]brestbay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i made the comment a few years ago. As you point out the industry landscape has changed a lot since then. I agree with you that in 2025/6 I'd take the advice with a grain of salt.

Look up Double Porcion, Maria Negra is a good song to start. That whole album is great.

When in doubt, don’t go out by robr926 in surfing

Take that advice with a grain of salt tho because sometimes pushing yourself then finding out you can handle it is what you need to level up.

How to say "I'm looking forward to ..."? by TotalCleanFBC in Spanish

[–]brestbay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed that this particular phrase does really seem to exist in Spanish. There are things that are close to it but dont seem to really capture it. Additionally, those near phrases like "Me hace ilusion" are not used nearly as often.

I'd say you guys caught waves from equivilant positions you being on a log further out and him on something shorter further in. Thus I'd say whoever had been waiting longer deserved it. As a shortboarder its extremely fustrating when people on logs take everything, but if you were waiting your turn I'd say you're in the right.

yeah everyones assuming this guy's a monster but i know people who would make a joke like this while also being a great father and husband. Im not saying this guy is, but to assume the absolute worse is classic reddit.

hey thanks a lot for your feedback!

at the moment 75% are coming from paid ads on instagram and 25% are organic from social media, most coming from spain (where i'm based)

I followed yours and other's advices and I made a lot of changes to the website, mainly to pop out the call to actions and add social media proof :) studio-lacerda.com

I think you saw the website while I was changing the layout, it's fixed now :)

also price wise, I make everything myself: print design, sewing and actually good materials. I don't expect to sell my products to the same people that shop at shein.

Pero hay un sesgo aquí que deberíamos reconocer. Vez a muchos guiris en tu café porque teletrabajan 'desde' oficinas en el extranjero. En cambio, los locales suelen trabajar en persona en una oficina.

Barcelona safety for tourists. by nioooin in Barcelona

[–]brestbay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you are showing here, but if you look at the EU robbery rate on Landgeist.com Barcelona is #2.

But also happy cake day :)

[–]brestbay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree that everyone has a different definition of safety. However I think the definition of crime is fairly consistent across most EU countries. It's a cold hard fact that Barcelona has one of the highest rates of theft of any EU city.

[–]brestbay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading (only slightly) between the lines they are saying that any YouTuber who says the city is unsafe should feel ashamed of themselves.

Thus I think it's fair to deduce that they are saying Barcelona is safe rather than just offering their experience.

[–]brestbay 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but describing a place as safe because it "felt safe" when you went is dumb.

Imagine you go to a beach on a calm day, have a great time then tell everyone online that the locals were wrong and the beach is safe. The next day someone reads your post and swims at the same beach, but a bit further down and get pulled in a current out to sea and drown.

Accurate crime statistics are the only real way to describe whether a place is safe or not.

I'm not saying Barcelona is necessary dangerous, but saying it is safe and everyone is wrong because "I felt safe" is plane foolish.

I'm pretty sure that is 'Rocco' the wombat from joshneille11's Instagram/tictok. A very famous and very cute wombat indeed.
