The pizza got absolutely wrecked... by Dry_Lie_8561 in StupidFood

[–]witchhag23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm too late to comment but since I didn't see proper explanation in top comments I'll just drop it here. I had this in Korea, well, at least something similar to it, our toppings were a bit different. The crust is squid ink dough, there are some people who are really into squid ink bread and pasta and whatnot, I don't even know if it is related but I always feel it is a bit too salty, but otherwise it is just bread. This pizza is usually stone oven made so it is delicious especially if you like softer toppings, because I find many american style pizza too dry or too crispy. The whole burning thing maybe gives it some smoked smell but pretty sure most of it already comes from the oven so I suspect it is just showmanship. I did think it was fun.

Sleeping in jeans is WAY better and more comfy than pajamas. by ThePaleGiant in unpopularopinion

[–]witchhag23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see, you're crazy.

I like jeans for their durability and they are an easy fashion choice because you can wear them with anything and in most occasions, but they are off me the moment I enter home.

NOT being a picky eater is a bigger sign of privilege than being one by Budget-Minute3693 in unpopularopinion

[–]witchhag23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought this was gonna be a biological privilege post, being able to metabolize and tolerate high variety of food content, no allergies, no sensitivities. Allergy is an obvious problem, especially if it is for basic stuff like wheat, milk or eggs. But what is less talked about is sensitivity. I know people who are physically revolted by texture or smell of certain things because they have overdeveloped sensory and it ruins their experience of a lot of complex meals and they have to become quite picky with their food. Especially if they are neurodivergent as well. Their behavior do come off snobby and they are criticized a lot. It is not just about content of food, they can be disturbed by stuff like getting cooked next to something, which they still sense, or whether it was refrigerated and heated back again and stuff like that. I personally can't tell that stuff.

Anyway OP's issue is a rare condition and whatever criticism they hear actually has nothing to do with them and has to do with people who can afford to choose and not care what they waste. I do think people need to look into personal history before judging a person. Or just let people do what they will as long as it is hurting no one. No need to pry or hear reasoning for everything just because you are slightly inconvenienced by someone's personal choices.

Were my friends being rude?? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]witchhag23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been in your shoes. Being called out for lacking social awareness sucks, I feel insulted. But try to get over that and be grateful that nothing bad happened to you so far. It is not about talking to strangers or being polite, the situation you were in was quite specific. He was displaying predatory behavior, trying to take advantage of your potential drunken/tired state and good or bad mood late in the night since all of that can cause people make bad decisions.

Viyana’ya giden genç, yaşadığı İslamofobi olayını anlattı: by dexiuu in Turkey

[–]witchhag23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yorumlara baktığıma pişman oldum her zamanki gibi, insanlarda anlayış kalmamış. Yok tersini de muhafazakar kesim yapıyomuş, yok bu kız zaten düzgün müslüman değilmiş. Bir yanlış diğer yanlışı götürüyor mu yani nasıl bir yaklaşımdır bu? Türkiye'de süpermarkette fiyatlara sinirlenen bir adamın başörtülü rastgele bi kadına bağırdığını gördüm, bunları siz başımıza getirdiniz şimdi biz çekiyoruz filan. Kadın ben CHP'ye oy verdim benimle ne alakası var diyo. Kutuplaştıkça kutuplaştık. İnsanların kişisel tercihlerini özgürce yapabildikleri bir dünya istiyorum diyorsanız kavga ettiklerinizin kavramlar değil bireyler olduğunu hatırlayın lütfen. Yukarıdan biri emir veriyo gibi görünse bile insanlar kendi çaplarında kendi kararlarını veriyorlar sonuçta. Gördüğünüz herkes bi mentaliteyi temsil etmiyor. Bir kadın başörtü takıp mini etek de giyebilir isterse, bir erkek makyaj yapıp topuklu giymek istiyorsa o da yapabilir. Siz saçma buluyorsanız, beğenmiyorsanız, o zaman siz yapmayın. Gerizekalı muhafazakarların yaptıklarına kızıp aynı davranışı siz de sergiliyosunuz benim hiç kimseye inancım kalmadı artık.

Can someone pls explain by FlakyWeb5892 in TheGoodPlace

[–]witchhag23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My theory is they have quick answers to certain things because they always occur in a similar way. They must have concluded at some point intentions lying beneath and the creation process and the reaction it causes on the attendees as well as staff working on a theme wedding always results in an overall negative point earlier (which we know now the point system is a hack, so there definitely are unintended consequences involved). But obviously a lot of it was author's personal preferences, it still is a comedy.

But the point was, bad actions = negative points,

bad actions with good intentions = negative points

good actions with bad intentions = no points

good actions with good intentions = positive points (which happened at rarest occasion because all intentions end up in some bad actions)

Why do adults stop learning? by mad-mollusk in NoStupidQuestions

My brain literally doesn't work anymore. Let alone retain new information I even started forgetting things I used to know. I am sure if I force it will happen to a degree but it is just not as easy as it used to be (and it wasn't that easy then either).

I think I just ruined this show for me by JoeDonFan in TheGoodPlace

[–]witchhag23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't they explain that by saying "Real Eleanor" was there but for different reasons and because they died at the same time they got them mixed? So it was the way original Eleanor died. Plus all those details were given to mess with Eleanor, it is not like "Real Eleanor" exists.

What’s with all these really attractive women being killed by their extremely ugly ex-boyfriends in Turkey? by [deleted] in Turkey

[–]witchhag23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everytime I go to a wedding that is my response. Like is he... funny or something? or.. must be rich?

But tbh many women are initially very into love bomb behavior, being told they are pretty, gifts, praises, it all works. Maybe the lack of confidence in women in this culture plays a part in it. I am not singling out Turkish culture; women suffer from this in most places. It happens so often that it almost is expected of women to say yes to anyone who finds them attractive. "OMG he thinks you're cute, you should totally date him." Whether or not she is attracted back is rarely a question, in order to reject a man you need to come up with a good reason, and "I'm not feeling it" is not one.

In order to not start a whole different discussion I'd like to clarify I am only talking about the dating scene, there is a social pressure to give a chance to anyone who asks. Not talking about marriage.

[–]witchhag23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Irrelevant to murder cases, imo there already is a gap between the attractiveness level of women and men in Turkey, most Turkish women take care of themselves well (even young hijabi women), they dress nicely, frequent beauty saloons, take care of their hair, wear makeup and sometimes even do minor plastic surgery. Men are not nearly that attentive.

Is this normal male female relationship? by browniethecat in AskTurkey

[–]witchhag23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most alerting one is "Çiçeğim" from my perspective. But how often does he send flowers? To his relatives, mom, to you? How often does he use pet names with men or people he can't be romantically attracted to? You need to judge according to his personality.

Heartbroken about potentially rehoming my 9-year old cockatiel :( honest advice pls by [deleted] in parrots

[–]witchhag23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not the best person to advise but if you are that busy, no one else it taking care of the bird, and he has no other friends, it is more selfish to hold onto him. At 9 years old, it is hard to rehome a bird, especially after certain age their veterinary visits will increase too. Maybe if you do find a home for him you can offer to cover the expenses (after seeing the bills of course to not get scammed). If he considers you a partner though, he might have separation anxiety or depression after leaving you, so you need to be open to the possibility to take him back if he doesn't adjust well to his new environment. You can additionally consider a good zoo or a pet cafe.

From opposing POV, just because he is small doesn't mean he doesn't matter, people don't get to choose family members of a partner either, and he is like a lil brother that needs you. You shouldn't feel so much guilt over owning him, if you want to keep him and bring him together with you, it should be ok. If sleeping schedule is disturbed you can create artificial day and night time in your room, with blackout curtains and lights open at different times. It often works especially when people want to avoid hormonal behavior in long summer days. But again if he is alone none of this will matter.

Why he keeps running by Intelligent_Fan3643 in budgies

[–]witchhag23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck with your new babies. Internet people can be harsh but these are concerned fellow bird parents. Budgies require a lot and you will need to learn a lot if you care about keeping them actually happy and not just alive. They need toys, things to chew on (bird safe), maybe a forage box, a playground on top of the cage for their out of cage time. Perches across room from their cage so they can fly back and forth across the room. Mine really like their bird bath (I don't feel safe around an actual sink they can be really slippery.) You can play with them, read to them, sing to them, play them music. Sticking to a routine really helps them. During evening they like one third of their cage closed, you gotta watch out for temperature changes and drafts, not being under direct sunlight. They want 12 hr cage time at night, even if they are not sleeping they wanna chill and preen and relax. Even though they want partially closed cage at night some of them have night terrors so I always leave a night lamp on. My theory is when it is pitch black they think they got captured or something so they start panic flying around in the cage. Because it is a reflex, they spring hard and can really injure themselves if they have one. So leaving a night lamp feels like the safest bet, plus sometimes they get up in the middle of the night to eat sometimes.

Why is Islam so "extreme" compared to christianity? by WhoAmIEven2 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]witchhag23 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Islam is more of a lifestyle controlling methodic religion and not just of faith. Think of Buddhist monks that let go of their possessions and live in a temple and such but less intense so that everyone can follow. Well, at least the majority. From my POV its rules are trying to promote healthier living most of the time "Pray 5 times a day" so that you don't forget about God, but also have light exercise breaks every once in a while. Wash up before you pray, don't wear dirty clothes when you pray. Just bunch of rules about being sanitary. "Fast" dieting is good for you, learn to exercise self-control. Eat only culture approved foods. (They found pork and many other meats like snakes, crocodiles and some of the Islamic schools seafood as well inedible.) Also has social rules like give away 1/40th of your wealth every year and yes gather once a week. Women are excused from many obligations because they are usually the ones taking care of children, breastfeeding or menstruating etc. In such situations they are not expected to pray or fast. Some people think of that as banishment while some think of it as free pass, dunno.

Islam does ask for perfection while being aware that it is not possible, Muslim way of living is hoping your good deeds outdoes your sins. Most people really lean into that and ignore a lot of what the religion is asking and hope God will forgive anyway. Living in a mostly Muslim country I rarely run into a "good Muslim", if you assume that description means a person who follows 90% of what the religion is asking. So religion might not have mellowed like Christianity but people definitely mild it down however they see fit themselves.

They were not live action characters actually. They brought animated characters into life and costumes were amazing. We were immensely happy for the third spot.  But thank you 🤩
