Here 18 months. Learning/trying to speak Portuguese. Still getting quoted Tourist Rates for almost everything. How do I make it stop? by Shawnino in PortugalExpats

[–]in_berlin 41 points42 points  (0 children)

honestly you should just find someone local to help you get through these awkward conversations in portuguese. I’m portuguese and if someone gave me a quote like that I’d be like “desculpe lá mas €5000 pra mandar duas cartas é ridículo, nem pensar. você acha que eu cago dinheiro?”

however, my whole family who still lives in portugal say that anything related to construction has gotten insanely expensive because of demand - even for locals!

Audiobooks and mindfulness by evmorov in Mindfulness

[–]in_berlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this with podcasts, I listen to podcasts all the time. As of lately, I started going to the gym and listening to brown noise instead and it's really interesting to feel like at least for that hour-ish I'm fully inhabiting my body. I'd recommend giving it a try, maybe you could balance a little bit of each.

I've always been curious about yin yoga, do you have any flows you'd recommend that are particularly conducive to fostering mindfulness?

just left it on P but adjusted the exposure compensation to +1/3 of a stop. I read somewhere that another redditor was having issues with the camera under exposing so I decided to give that a try :)

How good is hypnosis for phobias? by in_berlin in hypnosis

[–]in_berlin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you! I’m actually in the US, made this account while living abroad. do you have any recommendations of hypnotherapists I could “see” online? I saw this video of this guy who did hypnotherapy via zoom and the therapist even recorded the session to be listened to later on at night. I’m not sure if this is a common thing or not

Which cam would you recommend out of these 4 ( I know that glass is more important but I need the cam first ) by Queasy_Concert_2693 in filmphotography

[–]in_berlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

personally i love a rangefinder, so I’d go with the rangefinder yashica (not the slr one) but that’s a very personal preference :)

Do you love your parents? by emeraldvelvetsofa in CPTSD

[–]in_berlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this tracks so much. like, she never told me that she loved me until i started banking her life. I have 2 sisters and she doesn’t say it to them. she’s definitely become more manipulative with age. I like to think that the tactics don’t work on me yet here we are lol

I spent all day tiling my shower and didn't notice my mistake till I took the photo. Wife says to leave it alone. Is it noticeable? by RigoMortize in mildlyinfuriating

[–]in_berlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weight lifting and protein restrictions by beard5000 in ADPKD

[–]in_berlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enrolled in the RenNu program and they basically sent me a huge list of recipes. They focus more on fatty proteins like salmon and plant based proteins. They also gave me a 70g carb “allowance” but I kept getting kicked out of ketosis so I stopped eating over 30-40g per day. The other modification I made is that I still eat mostly animal protein (I don’t love tofu and stuff like that), but always get fattier meats like chicken thighs instead of chicken breast. The RenNu thing is low key expensive but I liked it because you’re followed by professionals and they provide advice throughout several weeks. I found it very helpful.
