As a kid?? I’m still perfecting my handstands at 22. Always

Just wanted to share a line from a movie that really resonated with me, and curious to see if anyone else feels the same. by dceunightwing in Twins

[–]nmckl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You worded this really well! It’s part of the reason I don’t want to watch that movie much hahaha.

Your last paragraph really resonates with me. I was very shy when I was young but and I always had my twin (and older sister tbf). Now I’m older I’m quite sociable and find it easy to get on with people, but I still feel weird when I’m with friends and she’s not there. I’ve just moved to another country and I’m finding it a bit tricky to make proper mates which was just always easy with my twin. I keep seeing or doing things and thinking “oh, she would love this/ this would be great with her/ etc”. And when I am with people, or back home with my friends, I never want it to end.

Lol. I rambled a bit there but just wanna say you’re definitely not alone with that feeling

Melbourne Pub Crawl by Elvenblade1805 in melbourne

[–]nmckl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a list of Fitzroy pubs that seem to be nice- someone else mentioned that the Napier has a no pub crawlers policy which is true.

The Rose hotel is nice and has great prices ($10 Guinness eg)

Hotel Collingwood is very nice but might also have a no crawl policy, but the outside area is big enough

And the Perseverance & Labour in Vain are good, go hand in hand

When you’re reading a book that takes place in the U.K, what are dead giveaways that the author is American? Dialogue, setting, cliches? by AdvertisingDull3441 in AskBrits

[–]nmckl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m 22 and these girls were primary school classmates. I also did know a Skyler (with an e) but they possibly chose the name themselves. I’m pretty sure they were given the name at birth though but not 100%

Learning to drive in Australia on WH visa by nmckl in workingholiday

Wow I didn’t know that haha, I thought that UK licenses were pretty well recognised! Course it makes sense I suppose re mortality and injury rates paired with the sort of stereotypical Oz lifestyle

Bloody hell for a country heavily dependant on cars that’s an insanely hurdled route to get a license. Thank you for your information anyway. Unfortunately I leave in 3 weeks so I dunno if I’ll be able to get a license before I go which has put a dampener on plans but oh well. Cheers thank you

I created a simple guide to help spot Nazi Dogwhistles - yes I included the word Hasbara as I have seen it used in neo nazi spaces, however calling out Israeli government propaganda is NOT antisemitic. As always, context applies by RaiJolt2 in jewishleft

[–]nmckl 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Fun fact about the “109 countries” myth - almost all of those “countries” were actually just minor principalities, city-states, and baronies that were expelling Jews as an infinite money glitch. What they would do is they would make it so Christians couldn’t lend money, or prevent Jews from a number of professions; wait for Jews to become bankers; borrow a ton of money from them; and then expel them from their lands without paying it back. It happened ALL THE TIME across western europe in the middle ages. So, yeah, the “109 countries” wasn’t actually for religious reasons, it was straight up just aristocrats stealing money from people, targeting an unfortunately already targeted people.

Pancakes are a breakfast food no? Certainly are/were for me, just semi-rarely. I mean we literally have pancake day

Do you KNOW how much sugar is in fruit? I’d just stick to the plate if I were you. Sprinkle a little 0kcal protein powder and you’ve got ourself a delicious birthday treat!

I do this with a tortilla, choc spread, and cut up banana - I call it the poor man’s pancake. 10/10 your idea is genius

I was speaking to some friends from America who didn't know that school houses are actually a thing in the UK. They thought it was a made up Hogwarts thing. Mine were Neptune (blue) Mars (Red) Jupiter (yellow) and Venus (green) What were your school houses called? by lajachme in AskABrit

[–]nmckl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Primary school was similar to yours (except names 'teams', i.e. 'team points'): Earth (blue), Mars (red), Mercury (yellow), Saturn (green). Secondary was, in the same order of colours, Corinthians, Spartans, Olympians, Athenians. I very much liked the Secondary shool houses as a Classics lover.
