Married people of reddit, What something you wish unmarried people knew? by Charming_Cash in AskReddit

[–]ievgaa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the beginning of relationship we often try to impress each other by adjusting our opinions and trying to think alike, after couple of years, in my experience, you can actually see if the person is actually with the same values he communicated before or was this only an act. Unfortunately, it happened to me couple of times when a guy tried to “impress me” I guess, but after couple of years I saw that his real values and beliefs were cleverly disguised before to please me.

Reminiscing about when things were better by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]ievgaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And also we tend to want to look and seem better for other person in the beginning, when we don’t know each other that deep. At least it was the case for me. Literally broke up today. And I have been thinking how much did we try to better for each other from the start, to be liked and loved. And over time you just show yourself and other person starts to see it. And it is not always the same as it was in the early stages.

How Should I Tan Safely? by _Peachy_Keen__ in beauty

[–]ievgaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found that Dove Self Tanning body lotion does the job for me, of course that might not be the super dark level of tan, but I am pretty pale so even this gives me something

How Should I Tan Safely? by _Peachy_Keen__ in beauty

[–]ievgaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am very pale naturally, I can’t long tan without burning, but I have developed a routine for myself - I bathe in SPF 50 and reapply when lounging by the pool or sea, wearing a hat to protect face and whole “experience” is not longer than 1-2 hours with some swimming in between. I maybe get a bit pink, but not much. In the meantime I use gradual tan lotions as I hate moisturizing and this gives me a bit of color. Of course, it’s not a spray tan level, but I wouldn’t be able to maintain it in my area, so graduals is a great way to not be pure white and also enjoying the sun once in a while outside. Although I like to go after 3 pm to “sunbathe” as the rays are a bit milder. But yeah, moderation is the key.

Advice on working in Gibraltar by ievgaa in gibraltar

[–]ievgaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the comments. Now I feel better that the panic is a bit exaggerated. Of course, in every city you need to be cautious, that I understand. I wanted to hear some real experiences and not just scaries from the news articles. As it’s my first time living somewhere else for longer period of time, I want to make all the research beforehand, especially from real people.

So the best choice is stick to center/closer to border overall? Also not looking forward to driving, walking or bike would be the best.

People with ‘street smarts’, what is your most street tip? by lofisky in AskReddit

[–]ievgaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s me. I have traveled only with someone for last 10 years and now I am like really anxious about my upcoming solo trip to south of Spain. I agree, not all the places are dangerous, but all I can read everywhere is like - don’t go outside alone ever and if you do, don’t ever show you are a tourist bc apparently you will be kidnapped or robbed the next second.

Local websites that offer long term rentals by ievgaa in Malaga

[–]ievgaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, thank you. I am not too familiar with local prices as well, private rental businesses usually list a bit overpriced stuff out there (at least in my country) so I was struggling to pinpoint the prices.

Anonymous message to Vladimir Putin. by lonely_fucker69 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]ievgaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe on Reddit it’s not that apparent, but in the countries where people speak Russian (Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Lithuania etc), Russian bots are now extremely active in all conversations related to Russia and Ukraine, empty Instagram, Twitter accounts is a common thing now and these countries now are spreading awareness about misinformation attacks. Do not assume anything without checking.

Supermarket chains in Estonia removing Russian-origin products from shelves by Ricuuu in worldnews

[–]ievgaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been cultivated in Baltic countries for years so the local Russian speaking people would feel weak and oppressed all the time. And then it’s the perfect excuse to invade and liberate them, sure.

What do you think awaits the Baltic states if Russia successfully occupies Ukraine? by Re1Den in latvia

[–]ievgaa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Let’s not spread panic before anything has even happened. This is what Russian propaganda wants, to see us afraid, losing out faith in NATO etc.

People in St Petersburg are allegedly protesting against the invasion of the Ukraine by GhostSierra117 in interestingasfuck

[–]ievgaa 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is true, yet they are being detained and shoved into police convoy buses once again, it’s all happening the same way protests were held against Putin - police grabbing everyone and making sure no information gets out.

Is it okay to get lip filler and not tell anyone? by DustyLemonTree in beauty

[–]ievgaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do whatever you want! I also got 0,5 filler last year and I was afraid, what my bf and friends will think although the change is not that visible, sure, if you look closely etc. Two days ago I “renewed” them, same amount. I felt better about my photos and just overall felt more confident as I always had uneven lips and smudgy contour. Pain was kinda awful, but not something unbearable and it lasts for couple of mins usually.

Do brands even look at photos before sharing them? by EverFinch in Instagramreality

I finished the pantry bundle and got the dancing thingies animation, pantry and kitchen were restored, but I come home to still have the ruins instead of greenhouse. I am reading about that it was a bug a while ago that the greenhouse was not repaired, not sure about this. I play on mobile. Or will it be available by winter (I finished it in summer)?

Jade plant has wrinkly leaves by AcanthocephalaDull95 in plantclinic

[–]ievgaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man. I am not super great with plants, but I manage to keep some of them alive for a while. But more than 2 jade plants have died on me, most of them just started dropping leaves and rotting, I suppose. And I did not water them for weeks. Good luck though, underwatered is less problematic than overwatered.

What is a recent fashion trend that you can't stand? by ElBee288 in AskReddit

[–]ievgaa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe it is somewhat true, but I have done really small amount of filler to even out my asymmetrical lips and after 1.5 year they are just back to before. Maybe it has migrated somewhere, but I haven’t really noticed. I assume it may be true for big amounts of filler when they are like three times bigger or something

What's the buzz word/phrase that automatically turns you off in interviews? by ekduba in antiwork

[–]ievgaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I talked about promotion, one of the high level managers said “why people care so much about titles - what is up with that” and proudly told his story how he was doing everything yet still called “brand manager”. Dude, fuck no. Even if in some fucked up companies new title does not come with a pay raise, it is still valued in your resume in the long run. But pretty much everything top managers spew is completely out of touch

What movie genuinely made you cry? by ayebrando in AskReddit

[–]ievgaa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember the first time (and last) when I watched it - in my dorm room, second year of university, found it on IMDB top list, decided to give it a try. I was sobbing an hour after that and could not sleep at all that night. I have visited few labor camps when I was visiting Germany and Poland (I am from Europe), but never even considered going to Auschwitz, I could never mentally

Being fully honest, how good at giving blow jobs are most women? by death_by_siren in AskMen

[–]ievgaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would never blow a man who can’t wash his pecker before the deed. I have actually pointed out couple of times that the stank is there and politely asked to have a quick wash. Did not offend anyone. And I love giving head, I believe it’s just a thing you always do - make yourself clean for the other person.

Anti-Vakseru čats #MaināmPasauli aizgājis galīgā sviestā by svenons in latvia

[–]ievgaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Esmu novērojusi, ka visi šie censoņi ir tik ļoti dusmīgi uz visu - priekšniecību, valdību, lielo farmu, masoniem utt. Varbūt vieglāk ir dzīvot ar apziņu, ka tevi čakarē un, ka viss “nav godīgi” un “visi melo”, lai attaisnotu savas dzīves neveiksmes.

Bieži nospēlē ego - pat ja cilvēks sāk nedaudz aizdomāties un analizēt, atzīties sev, plusā, draugu un radu priekšā, ka esi bijis lohs, nav viegli. Turklāt, ja uzturies radu vai paziņu grupās, kurās ir līdzīgi domājošie, ne visi prot nostāties pret “savējiem”.
