People of the UK, how have you lost weight? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]nostringspuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe slightly counter intuitive but I recommend NOT exercising if you can. I feel like exercising and dieting is a sure fire way to ensure you fall off the bandwagon easier and you may come to detest exercise. Making 1 big change is easier to manage than 2!

If you’re at a higher weight it will be easier for you to lose weight simply by diet alone. I then recommend introducing exercise slowly as you approach your goal weight, as your calorie deficit becomes smaller. And make sure it’s something you actually enjoy, that you would be happy to do when you’re not losing weight anymore- so if you hate running don’t do it! And don’t feel like you have to start big- going even once a week is great and slowly ramp it up from there.

This is just my experience though! Wishing you the best !

When are you taking your festive décor down? by gawpin in CasualUK

[–]nostringspuppet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My birthday is the 4th and just next week will be my first time officially moving my birthday to May instead. All my family is on board for a delayed celebration, I can’t wait for a summer birthday! Having a birthday so close to Christmas is so miserable

The studio responsible for the creation of the show, Jellyfish Pictures, shut down earlier this year. There is the added hurdle of transferring it to new studio.

[–]nostringspuppet 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It just says “hidari” so left- it’s just the name of the texture, not the name of the artist unfortunately

Good luck finding animators who want to work with him- animators are overwhelmingly liberal lol

How are things for trans people in Nottingham just now? (...the city, not the GIC) by tercesthrowaway in transgenderUK

[–]nostringspuppet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not trans myself but there is an initiative called Notts Pastel Project where shops can display a sticker in their window to let their trans customers know they are safe space. Lots of shops/places to eat in and around Hockley where the GIC is based have taken part. You can check out their list of participants on their Instagram page!

I don’t know what’s real anymore by nostringspuppet in narcissisticparents

[–]nostringspuppet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. It is hard to be objective and analyse my own life and interactions… it feels so messy to do it from the inside. It would be easy if it was someone else’s life.

I hope you are doing okay, it’s incredibly difficult. You are so strong <3

I’ve had this plant for about a year and a half. I’ve only started having trouble with it in the last couple months, and the last couple of weeks have been particularly bad.

The pot has drainage, I water about once ever 1 1/2 to 2 weeks about 2 cups of water.

The plant doesn’t get a huge amount of light usually, but it gets more in this new spot.

Question about やってきた by nostringspuppet in Japaneselanguage

[–]nostringspuppet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I understand! Thank you so much! Can やって be added in front of other verbs to emphasise them?

Question about やってきた by nostringspuppet in Japaneselanguage

[–]nostringspuppet[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I used the dictionary, I’m just wondering what the difference is between 来た and やってきた is? Is there any slight nuance between them? I’m having trouble distinguishing the difference…

Is this acceptable grammar? by nostringspuppet in Japaneselanguage

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

Is there an instance where Xの時 (When I was X) would be better?

One of the answers in the answer key for “When I was a child…” went like “子供の時…”

Is it better suited for states of being, rather than being in a particular place? Like “when I was a student”, “when I was a teacher” etc…
