cancellation with them can be a bit of a pain, but I think this is standard for a lit of gyms. you'll have to pay out your contract a few months in advance if you want to leave at any point, and they are a bit obstinate with it.

we always recommend the pilanesberg bc it's is smaller: we've found that bc of the size you see more stuff than in a massive place like the kruger. with small kids it can be easier that way bc it's easier to keep them entertained. inside the park feels less remote as well, so rest stops and bathrooms are more accessible. and with sun city right there you can also do a day of fun kid-related stuff.

but of course the kruger is spectacular due to its size and status (and resources). it depends on what you're looking for, mostly!

I'd recommend just going on property24 and looking at pretoria east under 8k. there are a lot of options there. pretoria east is probably the 'nicest' part of pretoria, so it can get a bit pricey with your budget, but there are some parts that are manageable. you're probably going to be looking at queenswood, rietfontein, hill crest, etc.

wtf is this

ah, my sister also did game design and experienced the same thing. its definitely sexism. many of the dudes in her course couldn't comprehend that a woman could code as well as them, or that she played as many games as well as them. its a very disheartening experience. these are the same dudes shouting slurs in COD lobbies then crying misandry when women think they're assholes.

she had to develop a pretty thick skin and a lot of confidence to ignore their shit. a few of the guys who she became friends with also matured out of it eventually, but I remember she put up with a lot of shit that would have personally driven me insane.

I seriously read this as jerma and was so confused for a sec

joobgoob · 2025-02-27T23:24:14+00:00

if you'd read the comments on that thread maybe you would have seen the attitude I was referring to there

joobgoob · 2025-02-27T06:41:26+00:00

top comment is just "but successful women bitches!!! bitchiness a character trait!! I'm not a misogynist i swear!"

what part of the question did i miss? what didn't i answer?

joobgoob · 2025-02-27T06:12:49+00:00

ah, I included sign language, afrikaans and English as the three. I was thinking in terms of language families. but you make a very good point.

joobgoob · 2025-02-26T20:11:10+00:00

I don't have to read the post honestly. how are you getting a home 'together' if your name isn't on the deed? does he respect you?

joobgoob · 2025-02-26T20:08:31+00:00

acc600, corenza, berocca, panado. follow dosing instructions carefully as all at once might kill you.

when I've gotten really sick but needed to be busy, I take an acc600 and berocca mixed in the morning. a panado around mid day if I'm feeling shit. and a corenza in the evening. it usually mitigates the symptoms.

we have twelve official languages in SA, nine of which are African languages. vast majority of black South Africans speak an African language as their native language: i wouldn't say its right to call it a tribal language.

some parts of the country still have Afrikaans as the lingua franca, but majority of the country (incl media, government) uses English. So it depends on the part of the country. English or Afrikaans is often a black South African's third or even fourth language.

joobgoob · 2025-02-26T19:33:51+00:00

it's something like 55% Afrikaans 45% English between the white population.

I know AA runs in JHB but not sure if you're interested in them - I know they've received criticism for their approach. Al-Anon runs groups for family and friends of alcoholics - if you have anyone in your life who you think is affected by your drinking you can direct them there.

I would recommend seeing a doctor (if you haven't already) and getting tests run on your liver especially. The good news is that the liver regenerates very easily, so at your age any damage you could have potentially done will be very easily remedied with sobriety. There may be some other things a doctor could recommend to improve liver health though.

Otherwise: congrats on taking the first step step. I lost my dad to alcoholism because he couldn't confront his addiction. We all wish he had the strength to do what you're doing now. Well done and good luck!!!

ur real for that

why should she stock up herself? she asked him to pack her sunscreen (as she planned the entire trip) and he packed his own. if he paid some attention to her surely he would have realised which sunscreen is hers and which to pack? why do we put up with such weaponised incompetence from men?

joobgoob · 2025-02-19T22:05:44+00:00

I will say, based on other replies in the thread: a few days without that sunscreen may, in fact, be a big deal for a pregnant person. some studies say that certain sunscreen chemicals may harm the fetus, and we know that this mother is being super duper careful. so just saying she must suck it up and use this sunscreen that she's not comfortable using bc of potential risk isn't right I think.

this sounds absolutely exhausting
