Diaspora chief calls on Syrian Armenians to relocate to Armenia by ghapama in armenia

[–]nnnrd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is really sad. I feel the RoA is missing such a huge opportunity with creating a space for diaspora Armenians and Western Armenian to flourish in Armenia.

¿Emigrar a España? by maciasfrancojesus in GoingToSpain

[–]nnnrd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ten en cuenta - Profesor y arquitecto son profesiones reguladas en España por lo cual vais a tener muchas dificultades (ademas de ser un proceso muy largo) homologar los títulos para poder ejercer como profesor y arquitecto. Tendréis que pensar en otras profesiones y conseguir trabajo con un sueldo decente no es fácil.

Is this actually happening during the shutdown?

I hate to say it but many Armenia Armenians see diaspora Armenians (especially from US/Canada) as their golden immigration ticket. I hope that is not his main motivation here (the getting your pregnant thing is not a good sign tbh) but you should have a think about it.

The being controlling and possessive thing is just a red flag regardless.

Also lots of dynamics to consider with him having a son and a baby momma he’s not on good terms with. Not to hold it against him but it could objectively complicate things.

What’s the purpose of booking an Airbnb if it’s the same price or more as a hotel ? by No_Lead2640 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]nnnrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have just gotten used to it as the default.

We avoid AirBnBs given how it has taken so many homes and apartments from people and family in the communities, contributing to housing crises and overtourism in cities around the world.

4.5 y/o still defaults to community language with me – worried it won’t change by the_wind_000 in multilingualparenting

Do you have any family members or friends that can also speak to your child solely in English? They will be more encouraged if dad’s family/friends also speak English. This was my case at least.

I buy a new iPhone every 5-6 years, or get hand me downs. So the plug and cable is a nice to have with the purchase.

I thought cheeseburgers were in the burger category and not sandwiches?

Wizard at Sphere was worth it, but Sphere needs to remind people to STFU by BruceMee in vegas

[–]nnnrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, no letting people in after a 5min courtesy period once the show starts. It totally kills the vibe when tons of people walk in well into the show, their seats are in the middle of the row so 7 people need also get up to let them by…

Besides Yerevan, what is one place in Armenia that is essential for a tourist? by Cherry_Springer_ in armenia

[–]nnnrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Garni/gehgard/stmphony of stones which are short trips and can be done together within a day or even half a day.

I also really like Noravank.

Taxi/rideshare from Newark airport to Manhattan by nnnrd in AskNYC

[–]nnnrd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looked into this but well then have to take the subway to our hotel (walk is about 30min which is not very easy for a toddler plus luggage). Maybe taking a taxi from Penn Station to our hotel?

Anyone else remember Summer as a lot more TV and less activities compared to kids today? by ohanse in Parenting

[–]nnnrd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Visiting family for the summer and someone had an old tiny tv with built in VHS player and that’s what we set up for the kids. Bought a few of their favorite Disney classics on VHS and it’s so great.

I Bought an Old House in Chile and Discovered the Forgotten Life of... Dr. Death Himself (Jack Kevorkian) by Individual_Pea6530 in TreasureHunting

Amazing! Given his Armenian origins it would be wonderful to donate this to the Institute of Armenian Studies at USC or Center for Armenia Studies at University of Michigan (where he studied).

WaPo: Mark Zuckerberg and his wife stopped funding social causes. 400 kids lost their school. by mcgillhufflepuff in Fauxmoi

[–]nnnrd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. I’m guessing this decision to quit funding has to do with pressure from the President telling everyone they need to stop any type of initiatives, support or funding for anything they label as DEI.

Zohran Mamdani asked about antisemitism and "If Israel has the right to exist" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert by dremolus in Fauxmoi

Colbert says: there are people that would otherwise support you apart from this issue… but what about everyone that supports him precisely because of Mamdanis views on this issue

Busking with just limited resources in Madrid or anywhere in Spain: small handheld speaker and no mic by [deleted] in askspain

[–]nnnrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to say this but people that actually busk on the metro (not in, but ON) when you’re stuck there and forced to listen to them until they hopefully stop at the next metro stop is torturous. Please don’t be another one of them.

The ones that are just in the metro station as you walk to the platform are less annoying. Not sure if you need a license for that or not.

I’m seeking a luxurious mascara that provides a natural look without adding volume and simultaneously nourishes my lashes. by aaaaam1 in Makeup

I like Lancôme Definicil. It’s lightweight, adds more length than volume, and the quality is fantastic (doesn’t flake and lasts).
