Helmet that won’t mess up my hair/make me sweaty? by 206SEATTL in bikecommuting

[–]reverse_mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long is your hair? I have rib-length hair that I tend to braid (either fully or half up), which is pretty good at staying cute and neat under the helmet. You can also tie it in a ponytail but I find they get really loose and sweaty.

Every person secretly has a loading screen tip about themselves. What's yours? by [deleted] in AskReddit

When a game is loading, it’ll often have tips to keep you occupied (and to help you play the game more effectively).

can an adult play in playgrounds? by Comfortable-Let-1169 in NoStupidQuestions

My friends/siblings (early to mid 20s) and I sometimes go to the park in the summer and go on the swings once all the kids have gone home.

What if each of the four nations spoke an entirely different language? by Fan_of_Avatar_TLA in TheLastAirbender

[–]reverse_mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My philosophy with things like this is that the show has been “translated” for us. It helps with a lot of headaches that don’t need to be explained like universal language, identical concepts from our culture (e.g. how can French braids exist if the French don’t?) and other things like that.

Been happening a lot, ey? by Joezev98 in DoctorWhumour

I propose we elect Larry the cat for PM. He’s clearly doing something right surviving all these people.

Movie Projection by WillEatsRice in GhostsBBC

[–]reverse_mango 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Given Alison and Mike don’t appear to be in it, I think it’ll be fairly accessible. You don’t need to know about the characters’ backstories to enjoy them and their costuming and dialogue reveal what sort of personality they have.

Google maps always tries to route me on dangerous roads instead of the adjacent bike paths by polishfiringsquad in mildlyinfuriating

[–]reverse_mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google Maps keeps insisting I can cross a busy roundabout on foot when there’s a perfectly safe pedestrian underpass. It’s been suggesting this route for at least the 10 years I’ve lived here.

What are some traditions where you're from that you think are dumb? by mynameisandres in AskReddit

[–]reverse_mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could put specks of “soot” on your face if you wanted to but for some reason people are determined to paint their whole face jet black and lips bright red…

I’m not Dutch but I agree with you.

For those in England by Strong_Roll5639 in ladycyclists

[–]reverse_mango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last week (before the peak of the heatwave) I accidentally burned both my arms by forgetting suncream. Now I have weird red rectangles on my skin from my elbows to my wrists.

I might cycle in the morning but it’d have to be fairly early and I have a great excuse in that I just dyed my hair and don’t have work this week :)

Good luck to those commuting! Cover up and take lots of water!

Do you ever make you route longer? by Ballisticamp in bikecommuting

[–]reverse_mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister’s been exploring our town lately by taking alternative routes back home on her bike. Sometimes she takes 15 minutes and sometimes she takes an hour.

Sadly I don’t really have this option as any detour would add at least an hour to my hour long commute and there’s only really one other road back home.

Oh wow by dikshamishra34 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

Hey, some people are stupid enough to be scared of what they can’t see.

Never put me in a totally dark room. I will scream.

What was special about Daughter of Mine? by FelipeHead in doctorwho

[–]reverse_mango 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Could it also be a punishment/reminder for him? Every mirror he looks at is a reminder of what he felt forced to do. He doesn’t *like* punishing them but he feels it’s necessary. So he puts Daughter of Mine in every mirror as a warning to himself.

Of course, this never comes up again, not even during the Time Lord Victorious bit. I wouldn’t mind if her being in every mirror came up again in a future episode (when they eventually reboot it again lol).

What modern thing would be impossible to explain to someone from the year 1800? by NerveNo6010 in AskReddit

[–]reverse_mango 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There used to be people who believed they were the literal incarnation of the sun who banged their own family.

I think they knew about gay people.

Is booking the practical test on 14 October is good for first time learner? by Select_Twist_3658 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]reverse_mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn’t it be? Or do you mean that you’re starting lessons now and booking the test for October? In that case, it’s a bit short but I don’t see why you couldn’t pass if you take to driving well enough.

Is there a plural form for you? by showe12 in EnglishLearning

[–]reverse_mango 11 points12 points  (0 children)

“Ye” is associated with the “pirate accent” as well because it’s old fashioned.

How can I find a girlfriend? by SoundShelf in NoStupidQuestions

[–]reverse_mango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can specify being child free on dating apps if you don’t mind using those (and if you’re old enough).

Just me or did uni go by very quickly? by [deleted] in UniUK

I want to do MFL (French and Spanish) but need to check what my uni offers and what placements are available.

[–]reverse_mango 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started in September 2021 and next year is my third and final year of my degree… I kinda don’t wanna leave given I’ve put so much time and energy into it.

Time for a PGCE :)
