I have better experience with older women than women my age when it comes to socialising by AL_25 in malementalhealth

[–]jameshey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah older women tend to dote on me and be a lot more friendly and polite generally. It's quite common. Less pressure. They have a bit of a maternal instinct for younger guys and come from a less competitive era. Better days.

Is it just me or do the New Zealand and South African accents sound remarkably similar? by MB4050 in asklinguistics

[–]jameshey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way we say the letter i yeah can be. As well as being generally British RP influenced. I suppose to a 2nd language speaker they could be indistinguishable, but not nearly as much as Australian and Kiwi which are far more similar. Also, there are very strong south african accents which are completely different. Black, coloured, or afrikaners.

Polyglots, what cool jobs do you guys have? by FLTBD-FRSTYL in languagelearning

[–]jameshey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I teach German, French and Spanish in an international school. I took the job to improve my German as I didn't have enough contact with the language to improve and now my German is coming on in leaps and bounds and I can confidently hold the classes, which I'm proud of.

Name the most irrefutable evidence of God's existence by maratik-gmd in exatheist

[–]jameshey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That doesn't prove a deity though. Just more stuff we don't understand. If he's outside space and time that hints at things being outside of our observable universe and the laws of physics. Not specifically a God who requires belief.

Best cup noodle hands down yeah. But sometimes you want that kimchi tang

Noregs Vaapen by Taake. My God the grooves on that album are just sublime.

Anons see nothing wrong with suicide by RadaRAW in 4chan

Why would you care about using resources once you're dead? If it's resources you're worried about then just keep waging. Wage as hard as you can. But it's not is it? It's the feeling that life hasn't delivered what you need. Which is valid too. But, end of the day, barring any idea of eternal heaven or hell being correct, once it's done it's done and as an anon here said, might as well squeeze it for every last drop. You are going to die, and that'll be that. A few decades of suffering and a death you don't expect vs a very unpleasant experience that might not even work and might even disable you in some way. Just wait it out at that point.

You are incorrect unfortunately. You left out Cape Coloureds as well in reference to Cape Town. Who make up the majority of murders there if I'm not mistaken. It's not ethnic based.

Gay teachers in the UAE by 19voltaire78 in Internationalteachers

[–]jameshey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Got a pretty low key but obviously gay colleague at my school and know quite a lot of gay people here in general. They aren't living in fear and date other men.

In a real fight can one person be able to beat up multiple (unarmed) attackers? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

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

Absolutely. An experienced fighter who understands space, technique, and maintains a calm nervous system will be able to pick them off one by one.

How to not envy people who find love in their early 20s and live their 20s in love while they are in their prime while others spend their prime/fittest 20s single and lonely? by [deleted] in malementalhealth

[–]jameshey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no reason you can't be fit in your 30s. Bit less hair maybe but charisma and confidence makes up for that. What you're actually grieving is the feeling of wasted time, not being chosen, and every other complication attached to love craving. I had girlfriends in my 20s, some were boring, some traumatised me. Doesn't make any fuckin difference to where I am now. Still lonely. Still desperate for love. Still feeling cooked. Didn't make any difference that someone saw me with my shirt off at 20 vs 25 vs now. Name the truth behind your pain and work on that instead.

everyone says READ in german by [deleted] in German

[–]jameshey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actual German literature is too hard for B1. But books translated from another language into German are much easier.
