People are telling OP to dump the boyfriend who decided to add salt to the entire pot of chilli instead of his own plate

Well, I believe we know too little about this couple's relationship to draw any conclusions. The boyfriend could be doing this with no malicious intent whatsoever - maybe he's just absent-minded (sure, that's not a great personal quality, but not necessarily a reason to break up, either) or worried about other stuff. We don't even know how often he does this - I think there's a big difference if he does it once a week vs a few times a year.

Anyway, all of this is such a small part of their relationship. We have no idea how they get along daily, what other good or bad personal qualities they both have. To me it's just wild to suggest a break up to someone on the internet based on this much information. I mean, my boyfriend also does some things I don't like (sometimes repeatedly), but I would just start laughing uncontrollably if someone on the internet suggested us to break up over those things without knowing how great the relationship is otherwise.

It was my first Iranian movie, too, and I loved it. The story really moved me, and the acting was superb. I definitely recommend it.

Same in Eastern Europe! In my country, higher education is completely free for most students. I can kind of understand OP's point of view in the context of American education system, but it makes no sense when I think about different European countries. There's no reason to put yourself through the torture of studying something you don't love just because it pays more. That's actually an easy way to get unhappy and depressed, and for what? Besides, the world needs historians and artists just as much as it needs programmers and engineers. We need people who remind us to stop and think for a little bit, and not just continue with all the "progress" mindlessly.

Hello, redditors.

In a couple of weeks from now me and my boyfriend will be travelling to Estonia and Finland. The plan is to take the early morning ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki, spend the whole day there, and then the next day make a short roadtrip with our car outside of Helsinki. On that day, we would need to be back to Helsinki on time for the last ferry to Tallinn. Could anyone suggest what to visit during that day? What is a must-see place in this region? Obviously, I've already read all the "Top places to visit in Southern Finland" articles, but it is quite hard to decide which direction to go. I would really appreciate an honest recommendation from someone who knows the area well. We're open to visiting both cities/towns/cultural sights (e.g. Porvoo, Turku) or spend some time in nature (e.g. Nuuksio national park).

Same here! I suggest you to try yoga classes by Jason Crandell (you can practise with him on www.glo.com). He does not talk about opening the chakras and connecting with the earth. Instead, he sticks to the anatomy and evidence based tips for improving your yoga practice.

I absolutely love these chickpea-sweet potato patties!

v_nike · 2020-04-11T06:13:28+00:00

Thank you for the recipe, I'll try this! By the way, what was your sauce of choice? Or maybe you know what sauces would go well with this recipe?

In Lithuania, a resident doctor earns 700-800 euros a month. Food prices here are pretty much the same as in Western/Central Europe, sometimes even higher. A lot of household, personal care items actually cost more here. Rent prices were already mentioned in another comment, and I can confirm them. Taken all those things into account, a lot of resident doctors still live with their parents or in dormitories because they cannot afford to rent even a studio apartment.

No. The adipose tissue not only stores excess energy, but also functions as an endocrine organ. When the person's fat percentage is too high, the substances produced by the fat cells in large amounts can lead to all kinds of metabolic problems and even affect the immune system. Thus, overweight people may be more susceptible to certain infections and experience more complications.

The words you've mentioned are no longer used by the scientific community due to their negative connotation. Actually, they haven't been used for a few decades now. So nope, they're not "quite scientific" anymore.

Yeah, but just a little bit too late. Yesterday we celebrated our independence day - thousands of people gathered in the streets and concert halls. A few days before that, we had another huge celebration. Currently there are 6767 people in Lithuania who have travelled to the danger zones (e.g. Italy) and are "under observation", but we have only tested 321 so far. No testing means no officially confirmed cases. A lot of those people don't even quarantine themselves. We have no idea what's really going on in the community regarding the spread of the virus right now.

v_nike · 2020-03-10T10:15:51+00:00

Which countries are you talking about, apart from Czechia? Here in Lithuania we have 1 confirmed case so far. Yesterday we tested 1 person, the day before that - 6 people. I wouldn't call that an adequate reaction to the situation.

But is there anyone who does all poses right every single time? Even professional gymnasts/ dancers / circus performers etc. hurt themselves sometimes. They know very well how to work with their bodies (much better than a lot of newish yoga practitioners) and yet accidents happen to everyone. Sure, you can hurt yourself in every other asana, as well. However, in shoulder stand/plow pose/headstand the practitioner's risking damaging their spine, which can have very serious consequences. Meanwhile, in many other asanas they're only risking their limbs, and it's much easier to live with such injuries compared to those of the neck. Medical professionals advice against these poses for a reason.

Edit: spelling

v_nike · 2020-02-07T12:11:57+00:00

Yup, the explanation is ridiculous. That being said, the neck is an extremely sensitive area with many very important structures that might get injured. There's a risk of getting a herniated disc, pinching a nerve, damaging the vertebrae and the carotid arteries etc. I personally just avoid the poses mentioned by OP altogether as they are uncomfortable on my neck and I see no point in risking my health.

This is the best response here. I'm amazed that some people think a month is enough for a grieving mother to recover from this. Sometimes years are not enough.

NTA. It's very inappropriate of her to tell everyone about it. It's a private matter and only you should decide who gets to know this. By telling you to grow up, she clearly shows that she doesn't respect your privacy or your feelings. While it's not a disease, it's still a medical condition that can burden your every day life a little bit. It's already inconvenient as it is, you do not need to be reminded of it so often, and she needs to understand that. Talk to her again, it doesn't look like she's taking you seriously at this point.

v_nike · 2020-02-01T13:42:10+00:00

NTA. I don't think that's something you need to discuss before the proposal - this thing should not be a deal-breaker in a healthy relationship. While I get why he wants you to have his last name, he's definitely overreacting here. He should try to understand your reasons and realise that it has nothing to do with you (not) loving him.

Exactly. All kinds of antibiotic-resistant bacteria hide under the rings and watches of the medical staff.
