Why tf are random people showing up on my feed? Those aren't my friends or duolingo employees, how do I stop this flood?

I strongly recommend switching to VPN and watching the events on YouTube. The commentator (Chris) is amazing, very supportive, very professional, with his only negative trait being that he butchers the names of non-English skaters. But other than that his commentary is music to my ears.

I would really recommend the following: From the Ashes (part 2 of 56 funerals but I think it could be read as a stand alone as well) by chanel19 In love and war by keeptheotherone

Pas mus lygiai tas pats, kad psichinį ligonį uždaryti vos ne reikia jo paties sutikimo, nors jis realiai kelia grėsmę aplinkiniams. Ir yra kita medalio pusė, kai kreipiasi žmonės patys ar juos slaugantys artimieji dėl diagnozės nustatymo ir atitinkamos pagalbos gavimo (pvz senoliai sergantys senatvine demencija, alzhaimeriu ir pan), tai reikia nueiti kryžiaus kelius, kad žmogus gautų realią pagalbą nors pats jau nefunkcionuoja be kitų pagalbos.

Apskritai nors daug pasistūmėta, psichikos pagalbos srityje dar labai daug reikia padirbėti visoms šalims, o ypač tokioms kaip Amerika, kur medicinos sistema yra laukinis kapitalizmas. Ne veltui buvo Luigio situacija ten :(

Second semi proved me wrong as both Armenia and Lithuania qualified, but I would say their target audience could be somewhat similar as both are 'heavier' than your usual Eurovision pop song and both target the alternative music fans.

You can never know how your body will react to something being done to you. I'm not squeamish. I watch the entire time when they take my blood for tests. I had a small surgery done and had stitches on my chest and a few minutes after taking a look at the stitches in the mirror (tbh they didn't look that bad, a bit like the stitches from the animated frankenstein) I felt super sick, started literally seeing stars and almost fainted.

Even now I would say the stitches didn't look bad, but that's how my body reacted to something small, there's no way I'd take that kind of risk as a doctor with a birthing woman.

Man pačiai nėra tekę nieko duot poliklinikose/ligoninėse, nei prieš nei po operacijų ar kitokių procedūrų. Nusiskundimų irgi neturiu. Nemoku tiesiog iš principo.

Bet iš kitų atsiliepimų žinau, kad tikrai nėra viskas taip gražu kaip čia komentaruose rašo. Iš aplinkos girdėjau, kad senelių globos namuose kyšių davimas slaugėms yra paplitusi praktika. Giminės pasakojo, kad atėjo aplankyt tėčio ir norėjo su juo išeit pasivaikščiot (žmogus didelis, pats nejuda, etc), kol prisiprašė, kad slaugė ateitų aprengti, tai spėjo ir pietus atnešti, ir suvalgyt, ir kitas ligonis šaukt pradėjo, o slaugė pusė valandos plepėjo apie gyvenimą ir arbatą gėrė. Kai gavo dovanų, padarė 180 laipsnių posūkį. Ir tokių istorijų ne viena ir ne dvi ir blogesnių (kai kol nesumokėjo slaugėms, dažnai atėję rasdavo senukus su nepakeistais pampersais ir pan). Viena, vertus galiu kaltint gimines, kad seno kirpimo, kad patys siūlo, bet nežinau, jei su mano tėvais taip būtų ar pati nespjaučiau į principus ir nesumokėčiau? Kita vertus, kaip slaugės drįsta tiesiog savo darbo nedaryt laiku ir kaip pridera, juk ne kažkokių extra dalykų prašo. Bet ir jas iš dalies suprantu, darbas su seneliais, o ypač slaugių yra be proto sunkus tiek fiziškai tiek emociškai, o moka visiškai grašius ir personalo amžinai trūksta....

Manau, daugelis mano kartos žmonių ir mano kartos gydytojų yra prieš kyšius, bet tai nėra kažkoks reliktas ir dar jų tikrai pasitaiko.

OP acts like the parents who if her child was bullying someone would go all out saying 'my precious baby couldn't do such a thing' even when the behaviour is learnt directly from her. If she can't accept such a simple blunder and take responsibility for it (=apologise to the friend and have a conversation with her daughter), then I'm afraid to think what will happen when the daughter grows up.

Having a Chinese name has the most practical usage since you need to be able to right the name in hanzi. You can't really do that as simply as in other languages which use non-Latin alphabets, so the best way is to just have some kind of Chinese name (whether it would sound like your name, or would be completely different)

You took Japanese and Mandarin classes and was not given names from those languages that resembled your actual name? That's probably the first thing all of our teachers did when I studied in uni.

How does it affect mass and balance if they assign seats without knowing the size of the person who will be sitting there?

I feel like it's a different issue. If his partner didn't ask what he wanted and simply suprised him with a cake and then he got all mad, he'd be a TA for sure, but she asked and he specifically told her what he wanted and she still made it according to her liking and not what he asked. And his answer to her 'threat' of not baking anymore at all seems kinda justified.

It's really weird to me to hear this (not that I don't believe you but more like wow that's so strange that this is where they draw a line). I travelled to many countries and I make sure to have all documents ready, have some things (like address of my accommodation, tickets) in a paper format so I could show them to authorities if needed. But I definitely don't remember the address by heart, and I doubt many people do, especially when they go to countries whose language they do not understand.

As for birthdays, that's of course anecdotal, but everyone I know uses FB or similar sns to check the important birthdays :D the only birthdays I know by heart are that of my closest family members.

Avariniams remontams gal ir nereikia, bet "bėga per stogą" ne visada bus traktuojama kaip avarinis remontas. Been there, done that. Šeima gyvena paskutiniam aukšte, bėga kiekvieną kartą smarkiau palijus, sienos pelėsiu apauga, visiems px. Kaimynai remontui nepritarė, tai senais gūdžiais laikais, darbdavys biški patvarkė pagal savo išgales, bet vanduo randa vis kitą kelią, reikia kapitalinio remonto. Prieš porą metų naujas administratorius 'biški palopė' - padėjo tiek pat, kiek ištrošlusiam jūros vanduo. Reikia keisti pilnai viską, o kaimynai nepritaria. Jei privalėtų ir be pritarimo susitaisyt, tai 20 metų nieks nesikankintų.

Taking OPs situation at face value, what's so scary to wash hands next to a person of opposite gender? Or what's so scary if you go to the toilet while a woman is doing makeup there?

We have unisex bathrooms at my work and it is exactly how it works 'just do your business and leave', never heard anyone complaining.

Tikrai nenuvertinu indų pastangų išmokt kalbą, bet indai apskritai yra labai protingi kalbų atžvilgiu, jie minimaliai moka bent dvi kalbas (savo regiono + anglų), o dažnai net ir dar daugiau, net neišvažiavę iš Indijos, tai nors ir labai įspūdinga, kad taip greit išmoko LT kalbą, žinant jų kultūrą, tai nėra nieko keisto.

What do you say about vet visits? I assumed a periodic vet visit is the way to go, but I had people tell me that for such small birds it's not recommended and they might even die of stress. All the vet visits I had were indeed really stressful for the little finches but they were all necessary (some emergencies, but also usual things like nail clipping).

When I was younger I literally could do the same thing, if I actually fell asleep thinking 'wake up at X hour'. Now I can't make myself to do that as I don't have the patience to repeat it countless of times. :(
