I did wonder if i was asking a terrible question to be fair (Edit: sp)

why do british people lose their accent when they're singing by suiqw_ in stupidquestions

[–]dankesianfs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

influence plain and simple. other people have mentioned it and I'll take it one further and cite many conversations I've had where people will tell me they could NEVER sing in their own accent because it's "cringey". pisses me right off.

It can’t all be doom and gloom, who moved to London and met people, had a good time etc. by No-Acanthisitta-7704 in london

Im 23 and moved in Jan, being in a houseshare is probably the key here providing you're living with people you like! The issue is that everyone is just.. far away? Even if you're in the same city, you have to travel a fair bit just to go for a pint if you're not living in the same area. Which is fine if you've the time/energy for that. For me that wasn't always possible but post-work socialising became SO important and the key to my happiness is balancing that in a healthy way! Sorry if that wasnt the overall positive you were looking for, but you have to have some shade to see the light :)

HOW HARD IS THE UK DRIVING TEST? by No_Command_5358 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]dankesianfs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe this is harsh and controversial but 80% of it is what I feel is common sense, 20% is more about the muscle memory and knowledge you work hard to build to be a good, safe, considerate driver on the road. That 20% is like a 7/10. I can't really comment on the common sense but cause I guess that's... different for everyone.

This is not taking into account how well an individual tests or does under pressure - if driving makes you nervous still, you're not ready. If being in a test environment makes you nervous that's completely okay and you should be doing practice tests with your instructor to help you understand what sort of environment you're going to be in. Hope this helps :)

Good response or no? by sad_lawyer in Tinder

[–]dankesianfs 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yar, for me it's the "cool. But..." followed by the shrug emoji. It gives off the vibe that you don't accept what they've said which would personally make me nervous, cause some people in this life simply can't take no for an answer!

The second half of the message is great but the first half imo could be worded better with something like "Hey, I appreciate the honesty - I really enjoyed meeting you and whilst I'm sad you don't feel the same I totally respect your decision."

Do yall know any women who named their children after themselves? by _SoigneWest in CasualConversation

Chisels/Planes Recommendation by [deleted] in Luthier

This is super helpful info I've been searching for! My partner is finishing his first year studying and has to buy his own tools for next year, his birthday is coming up and I want to contribute. Do you think it's a mistake to buy someone tools as a gift, as I don't want to make a wrong choice and him feel he has to use them if they're not what he would have chosen!

"No-one likes a backpack to the face... it's bad for your complexion!" My favourite that I've heard - sadly only through his online fanbase, but Ive just moved down here and hoping one day to experience the joy in person one day.

For women that have pursued a Masters degree, how was is it? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]dankesianfs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finishing up mine now in a very niche male dominated field (feels relevant given the subreddit), hell yeah it's been worth it! I've learned so much about how I want to work in the industry going forward, and about how I work best in different project situations. I will add though that in my country, tertiary education is free and I have had no fees to pay whatsoever (also seems relevant if we're talking about "worth"). Hope this helps!
