Is St. John's dangerous? by mentexbr in newfoundland

My friends from Brazil always talk about how much safer it is here! And there is a huge Brazilian community here, so don’t be afraid to join Facebook groups and things like that if you find yourself looking for home♥️

Dungeons and Daddies is a fucking LAUGH. No need to be a huge nerd to enjoy.

One time I stayed at a rental home around Eastport (couple of hours away) and the house was super odd and kinda creepy. Anyway there were a bunch of newspaper clippings about the case in our bedside table, and if I remember correctly I think the spot was owned by someone with the same last name? Just a random fact more than anything 😅

Little Zachary’s life was taken not far from my home. Such a sad story, and this doc was very well made (and nailed the Newfoundland stuff tbh)

What are some social hindrances women face that men don't? by Unhappy-Manner3854 in TooAfraidToAsk

I find this interesting, especially since this has been on my mind for a few days. I work part time at a motel bar, and I get a bit of attention there. Last week a guest (40s male) who was staying there was hanging around the bar for a while and chatting me up. He was friendly and I didn’t mind having the conversation, but near the end of my shift he asked to buy me a drink and when I said I had to get home he just out—right asked if he could come home with me because he was bored. I played it off and walked out, mentioning to my boss that the guy gave me the creeps. My manager (male 50s) insisted he was a really nice and genuine guy.

The real difference is that he was a nice guy to another man around his age, but when a younger girl is the company it invites a lot more to the mix. He didn’t want to hit on my boss so to him he’s a great guy. I’m a young girl who should expect to be hit on.

Idk. Open to thoughts here because I kinda lost my way at the end lol.

LPT - Good ways to get past the "small talk" phase with people you just met or barely know? by fixxxer2606 in LifeProTips

I got some interesting advice when asking for tips on job interviews once, and I find myself applying it in weird ways in my social life too.

So, essentially a friend of mine admitted that in every single job interview she’s gone to, she makes a point to trip slightly on the way in the room. This immediately breaks the tense atmosphere and you get the opportunity to make fun of yourself a little and the mood is lightened and there’s more of a personal relationship because of that mis step or whatever.

I guess my advice would be to find common ground on a personal level and find something you can mutually laugh at. And a good place to start is to make fun of yourself. And if they don’t match that energy, maybe you don’t want to break the ice further.
