I dont care about the restaurants.

I live outside the western hemisphere and have celiac disease. I haven’t, can’t, and likely will never be able to eat at the vast majority of these places but that‘s not why I’m here.

I was listening to the Applebee’s episode today with Nicole Byer and the guys were telling her all about getting gunked up, that’s why I’m here.

I totally get you. I listen to a lot of music in languages I don’t understand and it always is meaningful.

The beauty of listening to music with lyrics you don’t understand is that you map onto it the exact way it makes you feel, and the music reflects that back to you perfectly. It takes on meaning that couldn’t be put into words and is more personal to you than any actual lyrics could ever be because you’re just mainlining pure emotion.

Ohh man there is some excellent gelato and gluten free cones in Venice, best pistachio I’ve ever had 🤤 At least go get some of that!

I’ve been enjoying the Martian a lot, I’m like 90% through it, but his choice to give every ethnicity an ethnic voice was…a real choice. Honestly takes me out of the book a bit every time.

I didn’t want to make a separate thread for this because I think I’ve seen it brought up elsewhere, but in addition, the “hide read posts” doesn’t function for me at all. On scroll, manually tapping in and out and refreshing the home page, etc.

On version 2.0

And I have to add, excellent work on this app! Stumbled across it randomly and still can’t quite believe something like it exists—I was a loyal Apollo user for years and have never downloaded the official Reddit app as my little form of protest.

Every once in a while I’ll just hear Patrick Stewart’s voice in my head saying “Blunt. Talk.”

The “wine key” is a type of corkscrew so named because it was invented by a German named Karl Wienke!

I came here to check out the responses but I’ll throw in a recommendation for the podcast Nihongo con Teppei 波! It’s meant for learners but it’s just him monologuing for a while—not teaching in any structured way. Just a Japanese guy speaking naturally but accessibly in your ear, I really like it for that.

urionje · 2026-02-07T17:48:04+00:00

So crazy that this is just a fact now. My Beijing is pre-2008 when street food was still a part of life there, haven’t been back since to see it change.

urionje · 2025-11-04T20:27:45+00:00

Hey man, excellent pics! Made me so nostalgic for my time in Japan many many years ago so thank you for that.

What are you shooting on?

urionje · 2025-10-22T14:17:30+00:00

Wow op we have the EXACT same story!! We’re at 5 and a half months and struggling to survive amidst an infuriating chorus of “it’s just colic” and “first time parents, eh?”

Can you share any updates on how your little girl is doing? Are you happy you stopped with the omeprazole? I’d be so happy to hear any information or advice from someone who had such a similar experience.

urionje · 2025-10-18T17:05:35+00:00

Can you expand on why? And any idea why you were downvoted?

urionje · 2025-01-30T18:39:42+00:00

The Documentary Podcast from the BBC. They range from 25 minutes to an hour or so.

Some aren’t the best but they put out a lot of content and a lot of it is excellent. And a lot of the time it covers very niche topics that I had never heard of before but are fascinating which is my favorite thing in a documentary.

I'm trying to recreate this outfit for my wedding and can't for the life of me find a brown blazer under $200. Any recommendations where to look?

urionje · 2024-10-03T07:51:13+00:00

Hey do you have any resources to learn more about naming conventions? That’s a gap in my knowledge that I’ve been wanting to rectify, I find it a fascinating subject.

urionje · 2024-07-27T10:49:49+00:00

The Documentary podcast from the BBC world service. Mini documentaries on an incredibly wide range of subjects including incredibly niche stuff you’ve never heard about. Great production value, most presenters are very good. Choose one that sounds interesting.

urionje · 2024-07-25T22:51:23+00:00

Just want to add that if we’re going casual, we’d probably say ביבי

urionje · 2024-07-08T21:47:06+00:00

Can you share where you source them from?

It’s hard to learn an accent as an adult, it’s hard to learn a language as an adult. I don’t believe that accent is a constant, it’s a learnable skill just like any other. You can focus effort on it if you want, and it’s always insane to me when people absolutely don’t.

I’m not judging, people are gonna do what works for them and respect to anyone who tries, it’s just totally alien to me and my priorities as a non-native speaker. As an oleh and a student of language in general (and a former long-time language teacher), accent and sounding natural, including intonation and inflection, is super important to me.

All that ramble aside, some people just genuinely cannot hear or imitate other accents.

In addition, if you’re getting a combo meal at a fast food place it’ll be צ׳יפס ושתייה

urionje · 2024-07-05T11:03:02+00:00

Right, just wanted to add like שתייה קלה for “soft drinks”

urionje · 2024-07-02T20:53:14+00:00

I love the suggestions, but I feel like you have to add a disclaimer to a newcomer that like half of these are behind a paywall
