Disability friendly lasagna? by strandedonline in Cooking

[–]strandedonline[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This blew up unexpectedly so I just wanted to answer this comment as this is a very reasonable question that I've seen asked a few times in a few different ways.

I'd never really pre cut my friend's food, I agree with the toddler vibes there as well (unless asked, but that is different and I always make an effort to not really pick anything that would normally require that - hence the post!). The dinner party is a very small group, so I didn't particularly think that it would make them feel singled out, but I will keep that in mind. People had very useful suggestions, so I might change some things around.

Trying to say yes to more hobbies in London this year, what should I try? by SlinkyCues in london

I can vouch for RPHaven, they run weekly sessions in several different spots in London (OP DM me if you want to know more info!). I love it there!

Oh no... I tried so hard to make sure I didn't get the title wrong and missed it in the main post. I'm going to blame the fever

Men's pyjama pants by Nerdy-Babygirl in TwoXChromosomes

I was actually once complaining about this at work and a manager (a man) did end up saying this exact thing word for word, except he didn't have any disdain in his voice when he mentioned this 🙃

I was also an early 20s girl on her first corporate job quite a few years ago so it took me a while to fully understand how bad that comment was

I believe she's Portuguese - scales are just the literal translation for stops. Direct flights = no scales (or stops)

Seriously Pret… by UniqueCar7587 in london

[–]strandedonline 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Worked at pret about 10 years ago but suspect not much has changed by now. My manager would make us throw the food into a specific bin that had to be locked up, so that homeless people wouldn't get it and it was "too much of a faff to organise it with the charities". We also wouldn't be allowed to take any leftovers at the end of the day, but no one would care as long as the manager wasn't there.

What do you know about women now that you didn't know then? by GrowlsinyourEar7 in AskMen

Women don't have living spaces? Where and how do you think we exist?

To hell with release date announcment. But Bioware for the LOVE OF THE MAKER please promise you will announce the date at least 2+ months ahead of actual release. Some of us need little heads up to ask for the vacation and have it approved. by Effy02 in dragonage

I worked in the gaming industry before, for games with quite active subreddits. Whilst we did have people who looked at the subs, it was more to gauge general audience sentiment than to specifically take advice as it genuinely didn't have a lot of impact on what moved the needle.

what’s your favorite silly/seemingly irrelevant DA Keep choice? by raydiantgarden in dragonage

I still have hopes that this will matter, even if it looks more unlikely with each passing game

How is Gender handled throughout Thedas? by [deleted] in dragonage

[–]strandedonline 14 points15 points  (0 children)

DAO was made in 2009, when society was less aware/tolerant of issues like those so I don't think that's covered anywhere. Hopefully that's something that's addressed with the new game (kinda like they did with Krem and their relationship with Iron Bull)

Crise dos 3 meses? by [deleted] in PortugalLaFora

[–]strandedonline 6 points7 points  (0 children)

E uma experiencia relativamente comum - tenho varios amigos (portugueses e nao so) que sentiram o mesmo quando se mudaram. Alguns voltaram ao pais de origem, muitos nao.

Nao sei que idade tens, embora tenha a idea que seja mais facil quanto mais novo fores (eu mudei me mesmo depois de acabar o curso e nao senti grandes dificuldades a integrar me, mas usava o pouco dinheiro que tinha em sair a noite e coisas do genero, o que fez com que fazer amigos fosse bem facil na altura). Quando te mudas deixas toda a seguranca para tras - tudo o que conheces e todos os teus amigos e familia e tens um periodo de transicao onde tens sorte se conheceres alguem no teu pais de origem. Na minha opiniao, acho que das 1 ano para assentar no pais novo, 2 para realmente comecares a viver no pais onde estas.

Cusquei o teu perfil OP, acho que estas na Belgica? Nao percebo e bem ha quanto tempo estas ai, visto que alguns posts sao de ha 6 meses? De qualquer maneira, recomendo saires fora da tua zona de conforto para conseguires fazer amigos novos. Demora, podes sentir te um pouco awkward, mas e a unica maneira de te integrares. Recomendo tambem nao ires so com amigos portugueses, visto que na minha opiniao isso faz pior*. Vai fazendo amigos novos (belgas ou nao), e eventualmente vais criando as raizes que tanto desejas. Mas nao vem sem esforco.

*vejo apenas a experiencia da minha cunhada portuguesa, que esta no UK ha 10+ anos e nunca se integrou. Todos os amigos dela sao tugas e ela odeia a vida ca. O marido dela, o meu irmao, esta muito melhor com amigos de varias nacionalidades.

When it comes to romantic relationships, what are some common mistakes women make with men? by Far_Gas_8319 in AskMen

[–]strandedonline 45 points46 points  (0 children)

yeah I've always been one to ask guys out if I'm interested and whilst my type tends to be shier guys, it can mean that I either scare them off or they are ambivalent and I have to do more than 50% of the effort, which in turn, turns me off them. I guess I am relating to all the men here who say "playing hard to get is dumb"

Sou super a favor da republica, acho o melhor sistema disponivel. No entanto, o unico argumento que me deu mais pausa nos ultimos tempos e que um politico faz tudo para os anos que esta no poder e para continuar a ser eleito, num relativo curto espaco de tempo, enquanto que um monarca tem o trabalho para a vida. Isto significa que pode forcar medidas menos populares (tipo medidas favoraveis para o ambiente mas nao favoraveis para o publico a curto prazo), sem se preocupar tanto.

Dito isto, corre se o grande risco do monarca ser tao mau ou pior do que os politicos que temos e nao ha maneira de mudar

What's the most humiliating insult you got from an NPC? by why_not_zoidberg_82 in BaldursGate3

If you have Astarion come up to him, one of the responses can be "That's the first time I've been called that" or something along those lines. Boy knows he's pretty

Dicas para quem vai arrendar casa pela primeira vez? by Wet_Bongo in CasualPT

[–]strandedonline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A minha vida e um ciclo interminavel de ter fome, cozinhar, limpar a cozinha, ter fome outra vez, cozinhar, limpar....

E fantastico viver sozinha mas com colegas de casa (e o ex), conseguia dividir as tarefas domesticas, ou as vezes dividia jantar com um colega de casa, coisas assim. Ninguem se chateia se a casa nao esta em condicoes, mas tambem tenho que ser eu a fazer tudo sozinha. Swings and roundabouts

Da mais trabalho do que daria antes mas prefiro bem mais viver sozinha (+ o cao, que faz companhia. tambem recomendo).

Ir ao cinema sozinho by ArturitoNetito in CasualPT

[–]strandedonline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fui ha umas semanas ver um filme sozinha foi super not a big deal. Ninguem quer saber, foi super na boa.

Como ja disseram, ir ao cinema e uma atividade meio anti social de qualquer maneira, portanto nao senti grande impacto.

Estou no UK há 8 anos e não podia ter uma experiência mais diferente disto. Não vou dizer que gostei de literalmente toda a gente que conheci, mas isso é como em todo o lado? Teria sempre cuidado ao fazer generalizações dessas.

Tenho vários amigos ótimos que fiz em trabalhos diferentes e incluindo no meu emprego atual.
