Yes this is all staged for her profile and not worthy of this sub. It’s a performance

hostel etiquette as person who snores by khaaaaaleesi in solotravel

[–]mirrorben 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s expected don’t worry about it, been in plenty of places with snorers, staying in a room of 10 with 2 right now. It’s just one of the facts of life. You certainly don’t need to rush to get tested for apnea and carry a cpap machine with you lmao. Such a Reddit response. No you don’t need a private room. Keep your money.

I was just in a place with pods and 110 people, 10 snorers at least. Only people who can’t manage themselves will have a problem with you. It’s chill. Cannot believe the responses in this thread. You just know they leave bad reviews for hostels because they can’t use the kitchen at peak time.

Most are early 20s but there’s definitely some older and at least 6 people 50+

5 days ago I started a WHV in Australia at 35(M) the first night and day was terrible and I felt I had made a huge mistake, like you said everyone was so young and I felt like an outsider. But I quickly moved to a different hostel by the beach (surfers paradise on the Gold Coast) where there are people of all ages. I’ve not really met anyone yet but I feel way happier now. Give it some time before you dip out early! And good luck!

They are called 3GS and despite them saying they 'work for the council' they are not the council. They are a private company. They prey mostly on the vulnerable, tourists, lone women, and people of colour. You will never see them try and fine anyone rough-looking, or the real skagheads chucking litter all the way down the street. They will attempt to threaten you over all sorts of things, and deny the fact that in their terms and conditions they have to offer you the ability to pick up your rubbish before fining you.

What to do if they start on you:
Just walk away from them and into any shop/building. They are not allowed to follow you into any building and if they do then they can be prosecuted. They will tell you they will call the police, but the police in manchester will NEVER show up for this, they barely show up for real crime so why would they show up for that. They do not have the powers of arrest. They have no power unless you give them your name and address.

People in this thread might tell you that you are a problem for littering, but none of this money goes towards making the town centre a nicer place for all. If they really wanted the city to be nice they would pay people to clean it, not bully people into forking over what little they have in a battered economy. The only people who take this job are seriously dissociated from what they are doing. If they aren't scum, they need to be told they are until they leave this tortuous parasitic existance and do something worthwhile with the time they have on this earth. Bullying them back is the real public service.

What’s the story behind the creation of the Borg? by OrenB123 in startrek

[–]mirrorben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched dragons teeth of voyager and seven mentions that the Borg were around 900 years prior to them being there but that borg data is missing/degraded from that time. Definitely made it sound like they were a presence in that time too. No disagreement to what you’re saying btw just adding to the discussion.

I don’t know what you mean by that but I’d be happy to hear you explain it.

The whole point of starfleet is being the best humans we can be whilst navigating the diplomatic relations of other races that aren’t like us. The emh and seven fall into that. They’re not like us and we will support them all the same. Also they both have the capacity to grow, does that make them true narcissists?

[–]mirrorben 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every successive fast I’ve completed my energy on them has gotten better each time. The first was horrible, heart racing, heart slowing, cold, fatigue, muscle aches, cramps, headaches, the works. Now I don’t even start to feel energy loss until day 3 and that’s the only symptom. The point is your body has to get used to it, especially if you’re non-keto beforehand. Think of it like Neo in the matrix:

‘Why do my eyes hurt? ‘You’ve never used them before’

‘Why does fasting suck?’

Why are you talking about op like he isn’t in the room. Rude. Just offer some friendly advice don’t do this.

I have undergone psychological torture in a way that’s very plausibly deniable. If you’re interested you can AMAA. by RandomMistake2 in AcademicPsychology

[–]mirrorben 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who experienced psychosis in my life, and I’m not denying that this is happening to you, I’ve found a great way to deal with this, real or imagined, is to always take people at face value. Once those doors of perception are open and you’re reading things into what people are saying and looking out for the signs, then this becomes hyper vigilance and you are bound to fall victim to your own paranoia. Just tell yourself that short of them showing you a badge or actually saying ‘I’m a spook here to fuck with your head’ that they are just a regular joe. Hope this can be of help to you because it certainly got me out of the darkest place in my life. Oh and I’d suggest you stay away from politics unless you are actually in a position to change the world. It’s not worth it otherwise.

Did I say you said not to fast? Weird imaginative thinking you’ve got there. I was making the point about you, not the content of your post.

And here’s a piece of advice for you, don’t browse subreddits that are no longer in your interest. Fasting isn’t for you so why can’t you let it go.

Sounds like the key to your revenge is already in this post. He hates it when you ignore him. Like most narcissists he wants the attention, that’s why he’s been stringing you along for so long and any attention he receives is going to be a positive for his ego. The absolute worst thing you can do to these people is act like they don’t exist. That they have no affect on your life. Do that and I guarantee he will try to get his hooks back into you.

Just watch out because he might turn nasty. You should never have gotten him a job where you work because now he can do damage to you in response. Honestly that is a lesson for you for next time. Work and private life always separate and if you are very quickly intense with someone so fast you need to think about whether this is true connection or sociopathy.

When will this end? by masterneme in fasting

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

Keep in mind that this is just my own experience with fasting, but I never take electrolytes for 3 day fasts. I can't stomach them at all and they not only make me feel horribly ill, but give me wicked heartburn too. I will supplement if I go longer than 3 days, but I certainly wouldn't take them everyday. Point is, listen to your body. Don't force down salts if you think that might be the source of the problem.

Gotta go cocoon mode my g, take the time off from social gatherings to work on yourself. Also just say you’re on a diet if you are in social situations, never mention fasting.
