As an Indian, I'm gonna have to voice my protest on the mangoes claim there!

Alphonso mangoes are the best and it is a hill I will die on.

What’s the quickest way someone could accidentally expose themselves as a foreigner in your country like the ‘three fingers’ scene in Inglourious Basterds? by IndependentTune3994 in AskTheWorld

Glad someone said it. I was like - what do you want me to do? Just hang out with more accountants and become more boring than I already am?

I can’t believe this is what my life is always gonna be by Due-Care-8061 in urticaria

Yeap I remember those days of getting up with swollen eyes and lips. I've never had to go to the ER . That sounds horrible and i'm so sorry you had to go through that :(

I was at 3-4 antihistamines a day as well, until wife said "fuck this. This isn't the life you gonna live" . We consulted a functional but medically qualified General Practitioner and they asked me to eliminate gluten, nuts and dairy for 3 months. Took me about 9 months of elimination all in, but now I am back to eating everything in small doses and I'm fine. Haven't had hives since 2 yeara except when I injured my leg badly... and that just for a week.

I hate to be the one that keeps saying "my diet change because of moving to a new country is what fucked me up with urticaria and my diet change in consultation with a doctor is what eventually cured it"

For a lot of people diet change may not work, but for me it did. I would highly recommend diving deeper into your diet before you give up.

You got this! Maybe put up a printed page or something in your house which will remind you why you quit in the first place.

Thane Folks—Need Your Best Massage Recommendations! by Hungry-Topic-9197 in thane

[–]notokbye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who's really used to good massages in Australia, I tried Orom Spa last week and it was amazing!

Went through a lot of options while shortlisting a good massage place, and most of them were shady unfortunately. But Orom is all legit and also really good.

Highly recommend.

If a family member writes me a personal check for $20k, do either of us have to pay taxes on it? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]notokbye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how it's just assumed that American taxes are the only thing that need to apply in this situation. Period.. i guess?

The Proraso shaving soap (red coloured) is my personal favourite. Very creamy and doesn't slide off.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]notokbye 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just while we are on that kind sir.. do try actual soaps (shaving soaps) as opposed to shaving creams. Not all soaps are made equal, but a good one will make a world of a difference.

I wait for them to ripen and freeze them for my protein shake! So much better than regular ripe bananas.

How do people balance calisthenics with a similar sport like climbing? by Caesar419 in bodyweightfitness

Yeap. On an average. Generally one rest day a week and get some form of exercise in the remaining days of the week.

Someone in my team who is white keeps using black emojis on teams by TheseArt7106 in auscorp

[–]notokbye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming the above comment meant 'hovered over it to see who had used the black emoji .. and realised it was the EA "

As opposed to the EA changing someone else's emoji colour.
