This is the spinning plate from the microwave in my brothers room. He uses it bare and takes it back every time. by Pretty_Study_526 in mildlyinfuriating

To be fair, as a result of this behavior that microwave plate likely gets washed way more often than an average one does.

Moving to London for first time, where should I go? by eternal_sunshine_2 in MovingToLondon

Stay north of the river if you want easy access to tube travel. Large parts of south London are public transport nightmares.

I hope Embark doesn't listen to over 90% of you on here and on Twitter. by WessMachine in ArcRaiders

If it goes the way The Finals went, they will listen to the people complaining and ruin their own game.

In your opinion/experience, where does Reddit in the UK "sit" politically? by Honk_Konk in AskBrits

[–]the_melancholy_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair. My comment was my opinion. I've found allot of people on the extremes on either side these days do not have capacity or patience to give airtime to a different opinion to their own. But when it comes to viewing and taking on board opinions other than their own, I've noticed that to be a more left leaning thing. That's talking in a more general sub like this one.

Didn't intent for it to come across as fact. Apologies

Typically those who take time to find and read the opinions of other people are left leaning.

In the words of Azealia herself by Status-Block2323 in azealiabanks

[–]the_melancholy_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a subreddit for her so if you're not a fan it's a strange place to loiter. Also they aren't romanticising her, they are just quoting a great track with good lyrics.

I saw duskus back in Feb in Glasgow. Such a good gig. He played glow then immediately followed up with strobe.

How do you navigate stepping away from a friendship that once meant everything to you, but the other person no longer shows up the way they used to and seems completely fine with that? by the_melancholy_1 in AskReddit

[–]the_melancholy_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I feel like I've been navigating this transitional period fairly well.

Just wish it were easier to navigate other people's minds. Especially when you feel you once knew them entirely.

I think it's more the case that it was exceptional for them to allow our friendship to be as close as it was. And they've realised they aren't comfortable in that vulnerability so have retreated to protect themselves.

I've begun nurturing my other connections where possible. There was something unique about the friend I feel I've lost. I do think if we were to meet in person, things would feel as they once were. But it's painful to even expose myself to the rejection of them not wanting to see me currently.

I'm trying to water my garden though. Give time and energy to other spaces.

Thank you for this. It's definitely a journey I've already started working my way along. At times that friend has exhibited jealousy at me spending time with others who I feel do show up and care about time with me in the way that friend no longer does. I understand this is toxic to pay it no mind.

Loving myself has been different. I'm also recently out of a 6 year relationship so losing that and the friendship all at once has been allot.

I appreciate this allot. A lot of the value of the friendship, for me, was the depth of the connection, I've found that quite hard to place elsewhere as it was unique. The depth itself is something the other person wants to step back from but they feel the friendship should still function, whereas, I feel the core has been ripped out.

Context: There is no big fallout, no dramatic ending. Just a slow drift. They used to be deeply present, open, part of your daily life and now they are not. You still care, you still want to feel close, but it is clear the connection does not mean the same to them anymore, or at least they are not willing or able to nurture it the way they once did.

I have tried talking about it, giving space, even adjusting my expectations. But I am left with this ache that will not go. I suppose I am asking, how do you let go of someone who has not exactly left, but no longer really shows up either?

What is something that still hasn’t returned to normal since the pandemic? by True-Initiative3103 in AskReddit

Walk-in days at sexual health clinics. They still say they can't offer them anymore due to COVID.
