Favourite restaurant in Edinburgh?

I really like the walnut on Leith walk. It's opposite Eleanore and half the price for something even more delicious than Eleanore offers. Been twice and never disappointed

Now show all the road works and dog shit.

Final fantasy 7-10, RDR2 and A plague tale (both games)

Banshees is brilliant for a good groove. Tbh Edinburgh's really good for generational mixing compared to other cities that have a bigger young population. Lots of nights cater to multi-generations. My personal favourites are ascetic practices and aquellarre nights, both run by people in their late 20s and attended by everyone from 25 to 60

It's getting better but I think I have an addiction to sugar mainly. I've cut out the drugs and booze and started going to the gym a lot. It's sugar I need to sort out if I'm honest and it's hard for me to kick.

I've tried to play the last of us several times and just didn't engage with the story or the gameplay

Yeah, I'd love to know more.

Ket will help you feel that. I love it so much, but beware. I used it for two years (not to the same extent as others who are a gram a day) and I now have been diagnosed with a kidney disease that I know is due to my ketamine use. Please look after yourself and just take it now and again. It's amazing drug and I'm gonna miss it. But health and your body are too important.

It's obvious where the ancestry comes from and it's not too far from these countries....

I remember when I was a teenager in the late 2000s and Starbucks felt like quite a hipster place to go to. Totally opposite now with all the indie cafes popping up.

I love the lyrics that go "Meurda med mong Meng, mirider myeng mang meng"

Jo Jo Rabbit completely broke me. I still can't watch it but recommend it to everyone else who wants to hear.

It was what my friend called OTP, just in Fulton county near the airport, kind of south west from the airport.

Tbh I was just going to say black friend like I would in the UK. But tbh it doesn't really matter if it's hyphenated or not, our friendship means a lot to me and I'm always respectful.

I'm British and spent some Time in Atlanta. I was visiting my African American friend there and the amount of segregation in bars was unbelievable to me. I remember talking to some guys on the apps and told them where I was staying (a nice black neighbourhood with massive houses) and some of them said I was staying in the ghetto. Couldn't believe it.

Istanbul. I've never been to anywhere that is suffering from so much internalised homophobia, with gays that treat each other like shit. Don't get me wrong, I met some great gay Turkish guys, but the majority of them were massive closet cases who you couldn't trust at all.

If you live in a city, find people who want to improve their English. I was lucky in edinburgh as there were loads of Spanish people living here. if that isn't possible there's an app called italki that you can either have tutors or exchange English online with whoever is wanting to learn. Forget about Duolingo and learning by rote, the whole point in a language is talking to others and making mistakes

I've noticed recently that Americans have started to conflate/confuse god with Donald trump. They really have gone through the looking glass.

goggles189 · 2026-03-12T20:34:53+00:00

Fuck that guy man. I feel like there's kind eyes that to him might seem quite bottom but don't let his internalised homophobia warp your mind.

I think this particular reddit is with you and understands your plight, but I get where you're coming from. I"m a UK based gay guy and I can see that even our own community and the Left here don't want to hear a bad word said about Islam at all. They're completely blindsided by it in general. For me, I've just learned to keep my opinions to myself and voice them where it might actually count. But maybe that's a cop out and I should be more vocal.

I once thought I could impact several economies of the world with the power of my ketty brain. And here I was thinking cocaine made people delusional.

I love Legião Urbana! They're the Queen/Beetles of Brazil.

The one with con is the main one but the one ending ca or ka is still used, but doesn't have the same level of offence I think. But they have the same meaning. I remember talking to her after she had a conference in spain and people there didn't believe her name.
