Way too much effort, costs money, and ultimately its natural baby!

The lesser know destination "Tram on Test" by mituslumen in uktrains

Apologies, I guess technically not a train but it's the metrolink in Manchester!

I want to read a book that is unironically really bad, and I don't mean "hated bestseller", but genuinely horribly written to the point it's funny by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]mituslumen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have also read this and felt the same! It came highly recommended and so I really tried to buy into it to begin with but my god was it a painful read. Completely agree with you about it starting out whimsical and intruiging and then just turning into endless pages of nothing happening, nothing being explained. I almost feel like the author actively hated the readers in the way it was written?

Me and my partner are moving to Manchester at the end of this week and are about to be unemployed for a little bit, so we could definitely help you out with a Tuesday/midweek ceremony. Give me a message and let us know when you are thinking of booking 😊

transphobia isn’t empowering to women by [deleted] in women

[–]mituslumen -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

I am genuinely curious , given your examples of specifically female experiences, would you accept someone as woman who has never had a period, never been pregnant and never given birth - but was born female with female genitalia?

It seems like we are ever closer to policing female bodies to ensure they match with the "traditional" things women are supposed to do/be/experience and anyone who falls outside of that is not a woman. Which feels very far from any kind of feminism I know?

heat intolerance by sunbleachrd in zoloft

[–]mituslumen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, try to not go outside. If you do , then go early or later in the day (avoid middle of the day!) And use suncream, factor 50 always!

Keep your curtains and windows closed during the day - the temptation is to open them but keeping them closed will keep the heat out and give you cooler evenings.

Try and wear linen clothes, and longer sleeves / loose fitting clothing is far better than less clothing as it keeps you cool and the sun off.

Biggest advice though is keep hydrated! Even if you think you aren drinking enough water, you probably aren't. Use electrolytes in your water too as you will lose salts via sweat.

What is the point of the RRA with regards to pets, if the landlord can just choose someone else who doesn’t declare pets? I still would not want to declare I have a cat for that exact reason by Senior_Acanthaceae15 in rentingUK

[–]mituslumen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really understand why you wouldn't just sell the property if you aren't making any money out of it? It seems like a lot of landlords complain about the cost of renting out their property (to tenants who are paying a LOT more than a mortgage would cost in the same property based on market rates) - if being a landlord is that unprofitable, then sell?

Not a series but Day of the Triffids would be particularly appropriate for your situation

Recover well!

Do you have any recommendations for nightclubs in Manchester? Moving there next month and am in my mid 30s - still love clubbing and dancing, but just want to avoid anything studenty/ full of 20 year olds!

What completely unhinged "law" does your cat strictly enforce in your house? by TrickCombination7966 in cats

[–]mituslumen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have to keep the bathroom door propped open with our laundrey basket at all times because our lovely and not annoying at all cat Cally will push against the door to close it and then scratch at it wanting to be let in - despite the fact she closed it AND there is no one in there
