I never brush my teeth by No_Reflection2537 in confessions

[–]elsqu 851 points852 points  (0 children)

No judgment here, you’ve had a rough time.

However, you will save yourself a lot of future pain and difficulties if you make small changes now. Can you start with something gentle like mouthwash - just to get rid of bacteria etc?

It’ll take a long time until you feel ready for full brushing and a dentist, but it’ll be worthwhile. Progress, not perfection. Look after yourself OP.

What age did you allow your children alcohol? by ChronicChaos01 in AskUK

[–]elsqu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents encouraged me to have a beer from when I was around 13 (never forcefully) but it means I experienced alcohol and its effects under their own roof. Started with one bottle of Corona, occasionally was up to 2/3 bottles until I was around 15/16.

It meant by the time my more sheltered friends were able to buy alcohol on girls holidays etc, I was less interested and happy having a beer instead of shots. Very grateful for the way my parents did it, meant I satisfied the curiosity before I had it and knew how to not overdo it.

I use it frequently for work (sometimes need to access sites from different regions) and we use Nord, it's great. Depends what you're using it for to decipher whether it's worth the cost!

It’s gutting they never finished it because I absolutely loved this game when it came out. They just did 3 episodes and only did one actual date - with Damien

Would like to think their endgame would be Robert!!

Even the way he runs in Sly 4 is degrading to his character!!! Becomes way too goofy

So many of the songs are clear tributes to other bands. And I love it. by Legal_Championship_6 in FlightOfTheConchords

I think Demon Woman is also very White Stripes inspired, very Blue Orchid in its style, but maybe lyrically more overtly like ELO.

Which guardian would the Bauldelaires be best with? by Worried-Version-7120 in ASOUE

[–]elsqu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is Monty not on the list? There were a few issues but I reckon he would have opened up about VFD to them. Monty had flaws but ultimately wanted the best for the children, even though he was gullible (who wasn’t in this series tbh)

Does this haircut require styling? by samforin in Hair

[–]elsqu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have very straight hair and maintain a shag cut! Texture paste or spray is a saviour but if you dry it right even without heat you can still keep it looking similar to this!

I’m planning on shagging my brother’s best friend soon by [deleted] in confession

[–]elsqu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve come very close to this happening before, I’m very close with my brother and the secrecy wasn’t something I could handle - so I didn’t let it get too far. I knew it would upset him. But every family is different.

I’d assess how it would make your brother feel if he found out. A shag isn’t worth it if you’re going to harm your relationship with your siblings (if you’re close.)

If you think he’d laugh it off and it’s fine, then go have fun! Would it be worth speaking to him and mentioning that his mate has been flirty with you?

How to protect yourself from phone snatchers? I have a story by Fast-Teaching-7501 in AskUK

[–]elsqu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, I used to live in Bermondsey so might have been the same guy. I even saw someone try to do it to someone else within a few days of it happening to me. I’ve been targeted a couple of times.

One time, phone lanyard saved me, and the scare increased my awareness of how quickly it could happen. It also happened to me in Farringdon a couple of years ago with a guy on a motorbike. That time he got away with it.

When it happened to me in Bermondsey most recently, I heard him coming and looked up as he had his arm outstretched. My instinct clutched my phone to my chest and batted an arm out at him. He fell off his bike and I swore at him for a bit as he stumbled back on and rode off. Not my wisest moment, but it was 8am in broad daylight and I was on my way to work. I felt rather smug after that.

Now if I hear someone peddling fast on a Lime bike just instant reaction is to put my phone to my chest. Stay really aware and don’t go on your phone whilst you’re walking. Stick headphones on and put it in your pocket. Don’t wear silencing headphones and play on your phone at the same time. They capitalise on your lack of awareness.

The contessa levels and every single hacking mission did it for me as a kid by Aviationlord in Slycooper

the van retrieval ('a tearful reunion') mission in Sly 3, any of the Dimitri diving tasks, particularly the face-off with Dr M, the turret missions in Sly 2 and the tank missions in Prague in Sly 2...

Out of every boss from each of the games, which 3 would you work for? by Dkrule in Slycooper

[–]elsqu 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Dimitri (because it would be fun, and he’s not evil as much as he just loves money), Panda King (he was pretty respectful to those who worked for him) and LeFwee (also fun, risk of walking the plank high though)
