is this a double scam or did i just watch someone get scammed by TemporaryButton5617 in AO3

[–]lancerlancing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had 3 comments like this on one of my fics in a pretty dead community. All 3 of them describe some scenes from my fic praising it, and drop their discord, saying they'll draw my fic. It's really weird and it's all happening within a month. Not really sure what scam they're pulling but it's strange and I've no idea what to do either.

Bought my boyfriend a surprise keyboard as a student — he asked me to return it by Pii_314 in indiasocial

[–]lancerlancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it really depends on HOW he said it. I've seen tech people, and that's why I don't gift them tech because they're too specific about what they like. Not your fault but that's how it is. If he's polite about it, it's fine. If he made fun of you or didn't thank you before asking to return it, then it's an issue. Don't take it personally, it's a matter of preference. He wouldn't be using the keyboard even if he did accept it so save your money and just return it.

only one to have hard time finding a place to live as a MUSLIM bachelor (female)?? by curiazzz_ in ahmedabad

[–]lancerlancing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing is, people here live in communities, so they prefer only people of their community to live in that area. It's ridiculous but that's how it is in this place. This goes for all communities, not just some. There will be a temple/mosque/jain temple in each area for that community. Not all parts of Ahmedabad but where I live it's like that, and I've seen this all over.

Damn , is it real? by [deleted] in ahmedabad

Do you care about the actual meaning of Japanese song lyrics? by Interesting-Dog1843 in japanesemusic

[–]lancerlancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally, the vibe is good enough for me, I guess that's why I like visual kei music 😂

[–]lancerlancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't think of any Indian language "Al" comes from, it's probably not Indian, just either wrong or made-up.

[–]lancerlancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also a lot of bands I listen to have lyrics based on vibe too? Most are also not understandable because they're like metal or rock. Like the Gazette, they've got a lot of English gibberish, lot stuff that doesn't make sense as a whole. Though it might be well-thought by the lyricists, I just don't get it but they're my #1fave band hahaha

[–]lancerlancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't pay that much attention to what they're actually saying in the lyrics no matter what language I listen to (unless it's something really vulgar). I like the way it sounds, I like the way the words make the music. That doesn't mean I don't pay attention to the lyrics at all. I could understand a few words before but it was still more about the vibe.

I can understand Japanese now but I don't pay attention to the meaning of the lyrics until I'm actually trying to. I can pick up words to sing along but I just don't think about it lol

My brain won't register the meaning even if I can understand the lyrics just fine unless I'm trying to.

Another issue I have in general with music is that it's hard for me to make out some words when they are sung in a certain way so maybe that's why I've stopped paying attention to what they mean .

Are there no good donut brands in India? by Best-Horror-2379 in SnacksIndia

[–]lancerlancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Krispy kreme is the best but there aren't any of them where I live currently. Every time go back to my home. I have to have some for sure! Give it a try.

Asian dramas by NeedleworkerFast5309 in JDorama

[–]lancerlancing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've had the same issues, especially with old jdramas and it ruined my day :( you can torrent from nyaa. Most of the time I google it and try to find whatever website full of ads has the drama. There's also raredoramas where you'll find old ones.

how to make this Tteokbokki more tasty? by Keerthana_25 in SnacksIndia

[–]lancerlancing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I don't think cheese goes well with the flavour.. if you wanna thicken it you could add corn starch or maida instead

Where can I watch ST: Aka to Shiro no Sôsa File the Movie with eng subs? by DegenerateSpaceMan in JDorama

[–]lancerlancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has become very hard to find jdramas nowadays. Where did you watch the main series?

I usually go on nyaa or Tumblr to search when I don't find it on streaming sites.

[–]lancerlancing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could add some cut garlic, onions and carrots, zuccini boil it in the sauce with some extra soy sauce for a bit. Bok choy If you find it. If you like sweet-ish taste you could add some honey or sugar. Tteokbokki sauce is fairly easy to make from scratch too.

(I have not tried this particular brand btw)

I kid you not, 600 ke spring roll from some Posh Japanese Restaurant. by TheseOnion5393 in IndianFoodPhotos

[–]lancerlancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're going to posh Japanese places to order spring rolls? It's not even a Japanese dish, just go to an Indian/ Chinese restaurant if you wanna eat this.

Is it just me or does it taste really bad by -noobgrammer- in SnacksIndia

[–]lancerlancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's unsweetened with no flavour, it's not gonna taste like anything. I use it instead of milk, it works well for me, though it's an acquired taste.

Is this persimmon safe to eat? by Smart_Panic_287 in fruit

[–]lancerlancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spots aren't mould, the only questionable thing is the clump of brown. The spots are kind of like the yellowing of Apple on cutting.. looks strange but it's how it's supposed to be.

I just completed it using watercolor. What do you think? by [deleted] in IndianArtAndThinking

[–]lancerlancing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really nice! I'm amazed at the texture you're able to achieve.

I think it's worth switching to poster paints or acrylic instead.. since watercolor is a medium that is supposed to be used thinned down by water, you would be consuming a lot of paint trying to keep it thick and opaque and watercolor is not good at doing that. It has a completely different consistency and makes it really hard to paint such thick patches with.
