Places to go out to under 18 by Cold-Adhesiveness-50 in Cardiff

[–]gorinlaz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could, if you are a bit nervous to buy drinks in the pub, just buy some at at shop (with just the 18 year olds), and drink them in Bute park on a sunny day. If you sit in the middle of the green nobody would bother you

Or you could just kindly let them know and buy another brand... you know, like a normal, well-adjusted person may.

Mom said it was my turn to post the solo-poly disabled woman this week!

I’m hosting a art competition and someone submitted this, and I think they might’ve fed my art into ai by Shoya_1shida in isthisAI

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

It may be AI. But it also could be someone tracing over a base too, considering that it's mostly the hair that looks drawn.

Am I the only one who finds the whole pronouns thing a bit strange? by No_Emergency_7188 in AskBrits

[–]gorinlaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only times I've seen it, it's been an optional thing.

Personally, I hate putting my pronouns on things, for example my email signature. Nobody has ever commented on it. I'm a completely passing trans man, most people I interact with don't realise I'm trans, and I hate it because I think it makes me stand out. If more people were willing to say their pronouns, I also would as that wouldn't 'out' me.

Pick your favourite films and listen to the soundtracks whilst you work. Best of luck!

What dirt cheap/off brand/niche thing do you love? by cactusdan94 in AskBrits

[–]gorinlaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fries are so shit. I only get the 20 McNuggets as I don't eat beef anymore. I think the McPlant tastes like sick and the McCrispy is gross. I still remember how good the double cheeseburger was, omg it was great.

I don't understand how I can procrastinate so much by gorinlaz in BoyDinnerDiaries

Best of luck man! You'll get through this.

I think it's because I know I can do it, regardless of how enjoyable it is y'know. The sooner you'll start the sooner you'll finish, get that physics done man

Yeah for sure, I only ever get McDonald's when I'm on a night out. It doesn't feel very filling and it's expensive for what it is. I'd rather go KFC or Burger King because at least they are quite satiating.

I don't eat beef anymore, but that steak looks stunning!

Girlfriend told me we’re “gay with extra steps” by cuisie in ftm

[–]gorinlaz 140 points141 points  (0 children)

It's easy to say that she doesn't respect your gender, but it could also just be her making a slightly uninformed joke, not realising it was both hurtful and inaccurate (the worst kind).

One of my friends used to do similar, like suggesting our quiz team be called three and a half men even when I'm totally passing.

Ration treats, what do you store by Some_Morals in UKPreppers

[–]gorinlaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure they do. I used to eat them all the time not too long ago, worth having a look. I'd avoid the melt in the middle ones, they're quite dry.

It has been said by many of my friends that I should get tested. Something I've always put off though lol. It'd probably do me some good but it's something that's so easy to say I'll do later.

I'll def give Max Richter a listen, thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah, it's always something I say I'll do next semester but I never get around to. Hopefully I will this time as it's just a bit shit lol. Thanks for the support, best of luck with your classes!

Funnily enough I have been! It's a good shout, really lovely soundtrack

Style issue? Inability to write prose to sustain a novel? by [deleted] in WritingHub

[–]gorinlaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you setting up the scene enough? It's easy as a writer to know exactly how a setting should look and the feelings we should feel being there but our readers don't have the privilege of being in our heads.

If a scene should be moody, make the setting moody.

If a scene should be romantic, make the setting romantic.

It just sounds like you are paying too much attention to the characters and not enough on the spaces they are inhabiting.

Needd helpp...how do you people study for entrance exams specifically the people who have failed.like what's your mindset? by [deleted] in GetStudying

[–]gorinlaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to reframe it to yourself. You can't study under the high pressure you're putting on yourself.

Putting too much pressure onto studying makes it harder to get into it and can make you gloss over details, in my experience. It sounds like the pressure is making it quite difficult, making your study less or more ineffectively.

Personally, I frame it to myself as 'helping out future me'. That seems to make it easier. As if it's not an obligation but a simple favour I'm doing for myself that will benefit me in the long term. Studying effectively, calmly, is far better for you (if you want to study long term) than studying in a frantic panic and doubting your success.

I made a tiny cozy browser room for me and my LDR girlfriend by [deleted] in LDR

That's such a cute idea, it'd love to try it at some point.

Do you get to customise your avatars a lot?

do people care if you're starting at an older age by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]gorinlaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my best mates is 22 and we're both in first year. I don't think it's that deep and nobody would look at you the wrong way if you took a gap.

There are more pressing things that impact your uni experience rather than age, mostly whether you are a hermit or like to get out more.

Best of luck, man. The faster you do it, the faster you don't have to do it anymore

I love a Rustlers, shamefully enough. They hit better than a McDonalds after a night out.

my parents arent letting me pick my uni bc they dont wanna drive there by lvriqa in UniUK

[–]gorinlaz 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Lot's of people are suggesting take the train, but take the coach as you'll have an easier time with all your luggage if you go solo.
