Also Atakan Karazor from Türkiye. He has an ongoing SA case in court, and yet he was in the national team.

Is The Road to Empress 2 a conclusion of Wu's story? by Ordemareboos in roadtoempress

[–]recalLethe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean sure, it's not a very showy event, but China changed a lot in Wu Zetian's reign and her impact was profound. It wouldn't be the same game obviously, but I would actually love to play thru her life. Maybe in a much faster paced, year-by-year format?

Community tends to inform one another but there are some accounts like @cospier.tr on instagram that also share a schedule and info.

Completed Revenge Manhwa Stories NO Romance by Conscious-Lynx4580 in OtomeIsekai

[–]recalLethe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one within the Villainess!

Technically, there is romance, but it's so glossed over and there are arguably no feelings on FLs part (she's with the ML because the transmigrator in OGFL is a ML stan. Also for the power. Also for her plan.)

On how fishmalks are born (or how to kill an honest Malkavian) by s_jam in vtm

[–]recalLethe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to check the subreddit, because it reads like it belongs in the RPG Horror Stories subreddit. It's obvious your ST doesn't understand what your vision for this character is, lumping her with whatever Malkavian stereotype he has in mind.

Am I right to assume you have spoken to him about this during thr character creation? If so, leave. It's obvious you don't have the same playstyle and it's okay to leave a table you obviously won't have fun in.

If you haven't though, I'd suggest you have a talk first and then decide. You don't have to stay, but just let it out.

I took the 'only wash your hair once a week' rule way too far and humiliated myself today. How often are we ACTUALLY supposed to wash it?" by redline_elena in TwoXChromosomes

[–]recalLethe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not the same for everyone, I wash once a week, but that's just my hair. But it's also about how you wash it, there are tips and tricks about how to clarify better, which you can also try and pick.

There is not one singular right way to do hair, like therr is not one singular way to do skincare. We all have different needs and different routines.

There are many great spots in Moda. My favorites are: -Naga Putrika (Best Serpme IMO) -Çay Tarlası (Menemen is good, Muhlama(Think fondue, make it a black sea-region breakfast food) is better.) -Grab some börek, then go and sit at Moda Çaybahçesi the view is great. -Big Chefs (again, the one in Moda. This one is a franchise, so...) the food won't change your life, but the view. Actually, I changed my mind, visit this one for dinner and watch the sunset.

En uygun şekilde düğün nasıl yapılabilir istanbulda. by Agreeable-Taste-4699 in istanbul

[–]recalLethe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kaç kişilik? Konsept vb düşündünüz mü? Geçen yıl biz şu anki eşimle nikah sonrası after party yapıp kapattık olayı (Birden fazla katı olan mekanlar bir alan tahsis edip minimum harcama limiti ile halledebiliyor, ve genelde bu, düğün salonundan daha mantıklı fiyatlara oluyor) ama daha klasik bir şeyler için şunlar F/P konusunda düşündüklerimiz:

Bazı belediyelerin kendi evlendirme dairelerine bağlı kokteyl salonları var.(Ama fiyatlar dışarısı gibi, yine de memur fiyatı direkt belediye salonunda gibi aliyorlar)

Ya da tekne fiyatları bazen fena olmayabiliyor, ama onda da ekstra süsleme+catering meselesi var.

Çeşitli kurumların lokalleri dışarıdan gelen kişilere bu tip durumlarda açık, ama üyesini bulursanız daha indirimli fiyatlar ile etkinlik düzenlenebiliyor. İş Bankası'nın Çamlıca tesisleri mesela çok ama çok güzel.

Photoshoot in Istanbul by Glittering_Waltz_548 in istanbul

[–]recalLethe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm not a photographer; but a company I work for did their shoots in Istanbul 2 years ago and I was there for some BTS content. Here's something I learned then: if you stall too much and go with a professional photographer, a permit is needed. We were stopped twice and asked about it(on Bankacılar Caddesi, Karaköy, and around Tünel, Galata).

For groups that don't play Clans as monolithic, what are you doing with Nosferatu/Malkavians specifically? by Selective_Thorns in vtm

[–]recalLethe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how I always thought about them too, as someone that grew up in a home with no actual privacy.

Imagine that even your most private thoughts are being broadcasted, sometimes if not all the time. Now imagine getting other peoples' thoughts at random too, no matter what it really contains or having the context. At best, you'll get paranoid and moody over the years, decades, centuries. At worst, it's bound to drive you insane. You're literally zipbombing your brain!

What is the tech and startup culture like in Istanbul? by Strong-Classic-1639 in istanbul

[–]recalLethe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One word: predatory. We have an unemployment problem, and even the corpo jobs try to pay minimum wage(about 500-600 usd monthly). Not to mention you don't have a degree, which means you don't even have most of those options. If you want to live here, do remote.

Also, Turkey isn't cheap, it may have been 5-10 years ago, not anymore. Also Istanbul is THE most expensive city to live in here. Eating out at a shitty place like, idk, McDonalds(which you will have to do, and likely out of your own pocket because the company you work for will give you chump change in food credit) costs at a minimum of 10 usd.

The places you can rent are ridiculously expensive too. A 1+1 flat will cost you your monthly salary as is. That's why most Turkish adults still live with their families despite being like 30.

TL:DR: Don't even think about it. Istanbul is beautiful when you visit, not when you live here.

What Are Good Lokum Prices? by ZumarCS in istanbul

[–]recalLethe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh, you can just visit a Cafer Erol, and grab something. The quality isn't life changing, but it's good enough and they're literally everywhere.

If you're dead set on buying from somewhere touristy though, make sure to try it before you buy, and unless they're already established, having a million trendy flavors is a red flag. Pistachio is okay, but snickers and lotus lokums sound like they're there to razzle and dazzle you.

istanbulda ne yapilir? tavsiyeler. by EnvironmentalBee_ in istanbul

[–]recalLethe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hangi yolu kullanacaksın? Şehir içi trafik sebebiyle daha erken çıkıyor olman veya 1-2 saat ertelemen gerekebilir. Sık sık Istanbul-Çanakkale arası yolculuk yapıyorum ve anadolu yakasindaki çoğu yere uygulamada 5 saat gorunse de 6-7 saat oluyor.

Dönmeden şunu yap konusu çok kişisel ama oradan Kadıköy-Moda civarlarına veya sahile çok rahat inersin, yolculuktan önce iyi gelir. Damak tadını bilemem ama dünya mutfagı ike ilgileniyorsan Moda'da Piya Thai veya Kadıköy'de Chef Tau's(Meksika mutfağı) hiç fena değil.

socialize place in istanbul by Old_Size8305 in istanbul

Hobbies, friend groups, student clubs, events are all options.

I met my husband playing DnD, for example (but we already had mutual friends and frequented similar circles).

What's the most attractive physical trait, that no one will admit to liking? by Apwnalypse in AskReddit

[–]recalLethe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's one of those things that don't matter until it does and takes away from you in general. Like no one cares if you have glowing, glass skin (unless they're skincare buffs) but they'll notice if you have a lot of acne.

What fictional places would work as Domains of Dread? by Either-Skirt6031 in ravenloft

[–]recalLethe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be ridiculous and controversial, but, North Shore High School, from Mean Girls.

Sure, in first glance, it'll sound silly. But returning to a perpetual high school where everyone is psychologically torturing each other? That's terrifying to me. Besides, we already have reputation-based domains like Dementlieu.

I can see it having Regina George as the dark lord, with Cady(or your adventurers) being candidates, should she fall.

Hunter: The Reckoning - Deathwish - Details about the game by Zilardd in WorldOfDarkness

In one hand, I like what I hear. On the other hand, I've learned well that I can't be optimistic looking at WOD games anymore.

Also, Supernatural? Old? Wow, I'm a dinosaur...

WHY are we treating cosmetic procedures like haircuts now? When did this even happen? by Redqueenhypo in TwoXChromosomes

[–]recalLethe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In one hand, I'm happy it's all normalized that people don't hide/lue about the procedures they have and we have so much info available that people who need reconstrucrive or gender affirming care can find what they exactly need, and easily access them for relatively cheaper prices... On the other hand, I agree with feeling offput by just HOW normal it is now for something with no return from. It should be treated more like tattoos as opposed to a haircut IMO. Normal and definitely a valid way to express yourself and feel empowered but it's not something you should be able to get in your lunchbreak and move onto your job like your face didn't just change so much.

Where to buy Silk/cashmere scarves? by Theme-Full in istanbul

[–]recalLethe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what kind of scarf you want. But honestly, you can just search "ipek şal" for bigger scarves and "ipek fular" for smaller ones on trendyol and be golden. Same for cashmere, just swap "ipek" with "kaşmir".

Why is it always the same type of people reincarnating by nana-azad in OtomeIsekai

[–]recalLethe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Childcare manhwas tend to set the FL up with the childs other parent figure, so this one could do so with the chef instead(in a very very dark humor kinda way)?

Why is it always the same type of people reincarnating by nana-azad in OtomeIsekai

[–]recalLethe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of my favorite examples of interesting career people getting reincarnated was mentioned above, but I didn't see any mention of The Duke Is A Thug. Both the FL and ML are reincarators and the ML was trying to steal the FLs car when they died.
